I'm not much of a writer, so pardon me for my typo errors and writing inconsistency

Nigerians are known for changing the pronouciation of a location name and these have got me thinking. Why do we have to do that? Anyways thanks to danfo drivers and conductor particularly in lagos who help to murder the pronunciation more.
For instance a place located at oke aro Ogun state(HERCULES). But it is popularly called ankulus.
There are other place in Nigeria.
Pls share , let the fun continue
