Nigeria’s Name Should Have Been Changed Before The National Anthem by kingsways: 8:51am On May 29
Changing the national anthem without changing the name is like merely scratching the surface of a problem.

The name Nigeria is said to have been coined by Lord Luggard’s girlfriend.

Sure we shouldn’t be singing “Nigeria We Hail Thee” when the name Nigeria is a mere coinage by some colonial master’s girlfriend, possibly after some unholy activities at night

I would have agreed with you, but I like the name Nigeria.

It just sounds grand.

Triumphant.

Intimidating.

And beautiful.

I agree with you 100%

I maintain that it is gerontocratic nostalgia that our leaders are suffering from. They miss the national anthem that they sang as children and want to use their political power to bring us to their past.

Changing Nigeria's name to something more indigenous would have been a better nationalist move.

These are consequences if electing aged people into power.

The problem starts when you come to deciding what that indigenous name will be.

You know how we are.

I don’t need to explain.
