She recently revealed this on Instagram, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to her, her stepbrother renamed her and her sisters because he thought they needed an English name, and she’ll be sticking to it.
Belinda added that she was already considering changing the name after learning that it meant “pretty serpent.”
Her words, “I Bore The Name Belinda Without Knowing The Meaning- Pretty Serpent. Faster Forward To When People Started Asking Me The Meaning Of My Name . I Decided To Research The Meaning Of My Name . Story Continues In Next Post.”
“Dear World Please Kindly Endeavor To Effect My Name Change Grace-Charis Bassey Effah (GCB), This Is my Decision. No Offense To Those Bearing Linda or Belinda, as I Respect Every Lindaβs out There. My Destiny Is Different From Theirs. What Might Work For Them Might Not Work For Others. I Have Chosen My Path and I Am Following It.”
“Look Art Me – The World Is At My Feet – I Am A Queen , ROYALTY . Call Me Queen GCB . I Am Queening On Everything and On Every Side . The Lines Are Falling For Me In Pleasant Places. All Hail Queen GCB.”
“Everyone Is Entitled To Their Opinion. Whether It Sucks Or Not, Its an Opinion. The Journey To Success Starts From The Point Of Knowing Who You Are. So Today I Ask You – WHO ARE YOU? Please Humor Me To Put a few words on the comment session . If You Have Observed My Recent Post With The End Credit Hastags , It Speaks Of Who I Am. Make Your Daily Confession of Who You Are Everyday, One Love.”
