For anyone who calls himself a "proud Nigerian", I ask you this:

How can you be proud to answer a British colonial name created in London in 1897?

How can your national identity be an imported English name?


How can a British journalist be the person who named you?

For those who do not know, there was nothing called "Nigeria" until 1897 when a British journalist called Flora Shaw wrote a piece in the London times about the British protectorates of the "Niger Area" in west Africa. She then joined the two words "Niger" and "Area" and referred to the people who lived around the River Niger as "Nigerians". The colonial office in London then adopted this name

Nearly 130 years later, we are still running with this imposed shameful colonial name.

How do foolish people feel calling themselves Biafra, a name given by the Portuguese explorers for the bight?

And you wrote in a colonial language too.

A Failure will always look to blame others for their own shortcomings, mind you na the same British wey name Nigeria, discovered The United States & Canada.

Nonsense shameless ipobian, who forced your parents to give birth to you in Nigeria? They should have implemented Roe vs Wade on you, to save you a life of misery.

Don’t mind that senseless ipobian Zombie.

But at least it was Africans that freely chose the name Biafra, whether it was given by Portuguese or not

Nobody freely chose Nigeria, Lugard used bombs and bullets to force you to answer that name after his girlfriend created it in London

It must be something to know that it was a white woman who gave you your national identity.

Stop all this nonsense threads you this Ipob fanatic guy... You could have written this jargons in your native language now? Don't you think

Repeating same obsolete tactics/lines and expecting different results

Nice and interesting question..

That don't even have any shame to still be associated with the deathly group Igbos who have brought no single development to their region except destruction's and killings

God bless Lord Lugard and the British

THE 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES BEAR INDIGENOUS NAMES. THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH. NOW MAKE THEM INDEPENDENT AND RESTRUCTURE FG TO FLG.
