In an article published titled ‘Why I Changed My Name from ‘Aimakhu’ to ‘Abraham’, Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi revealed how imported superiority complex cultures are influencing and bathing cancel culture in the Nollywood movie industry. This revealed the reason many of the so-called Nollywood movie actors and actresses are okay with roles that denigrate and attack traditional identities.
Speaking of a case of a lost identity. It is glaring that the imported cultures and Abrahamic religions are the superiority complex precepts.
Talking about how things have changed financially for her, Toyin Abraham said:
TOYIN ABRAHAM: My dad’s family name is Aimakhu, short for Aimakhume, which means ‘you are just chasing me for nothing.’ People told us to change it long ago, but I didn’t listen because I had started acting with it. All my sisters were married then, so they had already changed it to their husbands’ last names.
The only son we have in our family changed his name to David Abraham. One day, a vision came; a pastor from CAC (Christ Apostolic Church) told my mum to tell me to change the name. The pastor said the name was not good as it would make people beef with me for no reason. And that was something that used to happen a lot. My life changed.
