How I got my current username

I can tell that of the 3 billion people in the world, this name is unique o only me except my siblings decided to use it as well.

When I was going up I had different nicknames which I won't disclose but I choosed @jackdogho for myself.

He is it. My dads full name is Ukuedogho Monday Jackson. Ukuedogho is our family name ( an itsekiri name) while Jackson is his nickname given to him by his white friends before his retirement in Chevron. Jackson grew so popular that no one even recognized his real name was Monday and not Jackson.

As I was growing up, I think in my secondary school, the director of my school who was acquintted to my family came to my class and when he referred to me, he called me Jackson. I felt really proud because then Michael Jackson was still popular.

When I wanted to choose a facebook name afterwards, I decided to abbreviate my dad's nickname Jackson and our surname Ukuedogho.

So I took the Jack and dogho and that was how I came about with the name @Jackdogho.

When I joined steemit, I decided to use thesame name since it was what I used with my facebook.

My real name

My real name is Ukuedogho Oritsetsolaye Omamogho Daniel. But to keep it short and for official purposes I use Ukuedogho Oritsetsolaye.

If I will want to change my username

If I am to change my username I will I will change it to Tsolaye1. In real life everyone knows me and calls me Tsolaye. For other social media I joined before steemit, I use Tsolaye1 as a username.
