Okoli Benjamin has changed his name to Okoh Benjamin Jumaka, and he is using this opportunity to explicitly inform the general public of how he wants to be addressed forthwith.

People change their original names for a number of personalised reasons, and as the law demands that when such has been done, the public must be informed that an alteration had been done to how they used to be addressed before now.

Although some people may consider it extreme to change their name, those who do so are fully conscious of the decision they are taking and are prepared to embrace the challenges, as they would also have to go through the processes of effecting the change on documents and certificates.

Interestingly, some people change their name because they dislike it as given at birth. In the same vein, people with names that could be embarrassing, especially if mispronounced or misspelled, may also seek name changes.

People with names that are identifiably ethnic sometimes request name changes for various reasons, including ease of pronunciation and spelling.

On the other hand, some individuals would like to reclaim their ethnic heritage by returning to a surname that may have been lost over the years or by the adoption of a new one.

Whichever reason, the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria expressly prescribes that every Nigerian has the right to legally change their name. The law stipulates that the fellow must be above 18 year and above–a requirement Okoh Benjamin Jumaka perfectly satisfied.
