*The law now is that, you cannot change or correct your name by swearing to an affidavit and publishing “change of name" in a newspaper. You can only change or correct your name by a Deed poll, and then proceed to the Nigerian Civil Registry to have it published in an official gazette-- see P.D.P.  v Degi- Eremienyo (2021) 9 NWLR (1781) P. 274* Do you know what it means by *Deed poll* as a non lawyer?  Let me help you; a deed  (as to change one's name) made and executed by only one party. *Meet a lawyer or your attorney to draft a Deed poll for you.* Thanks.
