I have been married multiple times, reveals Nana Kagga

 

A quick online search reveals that she is known as Nana Kagga Hill, Nana Hill, and Nana Macpherson, often causing confusion among her fans.

 

 

The outspoken actress has unveiled the reasons behind these various names, attributing them to her marriages to different men, where she adopted their surnames. She disclosed details about her unions with an American named Hill, a Scottish man, and hinted at her current relationship with a man from eastern Uganda, whose origins she remains uncertain about.

 

 

"I have been married multiple times, and I take on their names, but I have been misunderstood severally. I really loved these people; they just didn't know me," she shared in a trending clip from Urban TV's Salon Talk, a show airing every Sunday at 8:15pm.

 

 

The practice of women adopting their husbands' names has long been a subject of discussion. While commonplace in the Western world, some women's rights activists argue that it perpetuates a connection between a woman and a man, affecting her even after separation.

 

 

In countries like Greece, France, the Netherlands, and the province of Quebec, women are mandated to retain their surnames after marriage, challenging traditional norms. However, in Uganda, some cultural traditions have not made room for women to preserve any of their names. In Buganda, for instance, a woman is often referred to by her husband's surname, with names such as "Mukyala gundi," translating to "so and so's wife."
