Nigerians have expressed mixed reactions to Samu Omorodion, a footballer of Nigerian descent, deciding to drop his father’s surname in favor of his mother’s maiden name, Aghehowa.
Samu, who has been making waves as a young striker for FC Porto and the Spanish national team, explained that the decision was a personal tribute to his mother.
He emphasized how much she sacrificed for him, and he wanted to honor her by adopting her surname..
While some fans understand and respect his choice as a form of gratitude, others have criticized him, interpreting the move as a rejection of his Nigerian heritage, especially since he is still eligible to play for Nigeria’s national team.
His decision has sparked debates on identity and loyalty, particularly among Nigerians who feel strongly about preserving familial and cultural tie.
