The name is not the issue.

The problem is not the name but the quality of people that inhabit this the land ...Going by the poor reasoning of Huriwa it's easy to see the poor quality mind set that has put nigeria in this mess

So Nigeria is a product of a British PROSTITUTE
I don't doubt it because it shows in the behaviour of our political leaders. All of them are political prostitutes!

Zimbabwe that changed name from Rhodesia how has it helped them?

In my opinion the name Nigeria as it is coined isn't the problem, but individuals, starting with the family structures, denominations, religious sects and political ideologies and structures...

Our problem is undefined. We are just too problematic.

A name is just a means of identifying things. I don’t understand or know how Nigeria as a name now becomes our problem.

A western will name his or her kid Stone , Water, Fish, Walter or Bush without the child facing any form of spiritual problems as a result of the name but this can’t be in Nigeria because one pastor or imam will tell you that you are having problem because of your name.

I think it is high time we do away with all these archaic beliefs

you are right but our destiny sometimes act upon the names given to us, example baptismal names

inoki247:
lol Las Las diz Constitutional Review no go yield any beta results na rubbish nd junks all diz people just dey yarn.....

with everything we are facing in diz country na name of country we go dey talk abt...

clarocuzioo:
This is true. Nigga Area should be changed as it has no root any where in this country.

The problem is not about the name of the country but the people living in it

Amotolongbo:
America, Canada, Australia et al were colonial names.
No big deal about the name.

It isn’t about change of name of a country but the mindset of the citizens

go and read your book

I support, because the name Nigeria was coined out of a racial slur.

Nigeria is a script written by a drunk mad man lord lugard

giantstar:
you are right but our destiny sometimes act upon the names given to us, example baptismal names

To me I don’t think a name have anything to do with our destiny.

Niggerarea

I know they wouldn't come together in one accord to make this happen. But it would have been good if they can...

They should change it to Zoogeria

You are a Bastard.

Let's call it Naija, it's Kool and sexy.

LordVoldermort:
Your name is given to you by others If you like change the name to 9mobile people will still call it Etisalat

Even till today I hear people say I wan buy "Zain" card instead of "Airtel" and Up NEPA instead of up EKEDC!

This is brilliant.

Some will say with all the problems in the country, but how the problem started is also connected to the name.

Nigga area ? Only fools will accept this.

Let's call it BIAREWA Country

Fahdiga:
Whether the cursed and useless name is changed or not Biafra is here already. Only the slaves and their masters can continue bearing the disgusting name

WHO ARE THE SLAVES IF NOT IGBOS WHO HAVE BEEN MIS INFORMED AND ALLOWED HATRED FOR OTHERS TO KEEP THEM IN BONDAGE.YOU HAVE JUST BEGIN ANOTHER JOURNEY INTO OBLIVION.

StaffofOrayan:
That is asking too much of black people!
Change what a white man gave them?
Never!

Why don't you change the phone you're using to type to slate make internet rest?

berrystunn:
A lot have issues with the name..but for me the name is not the issue...

The people in Nigeria are the issue not the name...

Wicked evil and heartless people everywhere nobody to trust in your region, same family, same religion, same Kingsman, same father, same house, same language, same faith, same mother ,

Northerners killing them self more then anyone else.

No family in Igbo land without issues ( family problem) family war Killing them self or wishing evil to them self's.

And so on .

What of Yorubas.

On this note, i am proposing Wazobia.

I guess the lady gave us the name after a 2 minutes unsatisfactory sex with Lagurd

There is nothing wrong with the name Nigeria.

Infact e make sense

E sweet and smooth to pronounce for mouth

E get better meaning sef...The area/region around the confluence River Niger with the River Benue and their resultant Delta.

Biafra too sweet for mouth...area that has the Bight of Biafra or Gulf of Guinea as part of it territorial waters.

Na the Oduduwa name wey de hang for mouth...even the Arewa wey no allow anybody go their separate way sef no sweet for mouth.

Make l even ask...Arewa na God abi wetin?..why Oduduwa and Biafra de fear and beg Arewa for independence?...Ayam honestly not understanding...abi de get two heads and four testicles?...Why is especially Oduduwa, afraid of Arewa?...Why is Arewa not agitating for secession?

If the marriage cant work anymore, let their be a peaceful divorce...nobody has a monopoly of violence and nobody should be threatening anyone with war or genocide.

If the marriage gets to work...a stronger regional system of government with a relatively weaker centre should be adopted, resource control...Senate and House of Reps should be scrapped. Politics should be a part time work and not an avenue for career criminals to loot the Commonwealth.
