At least Eswatini is original unlike Ghana that stole their name from another country.

a country that is 30 times smaller in population and size than lagos state? is this a country? imagine the leaders primitively dressed or robed in hides and skin to show case what their country has to offer while Bill Gate is thinking of how to Abandon USA and Recolonize Africa to position himself as the largest Tech and IT investors in the world taking over the African market unrivalled because alot of us are dead in our head and cant think. I sorry sorry for Africa. Africa is almost a disgrace

Of all the slave countries, Is only Nigeria that refused to change her name because Nigerian leaders are getting support on selfish gains. They still dictate what Nigeria should do, or become. Asides our leaders stealing to kill to this country, this not changing our name could be the reasons we are what we still are. Nigeria should seek for total freedom from the UK.

King Mswati III declared the name change during independence day celebrations at a packed sports stadium he said he did not want his country to be confused with Switzerland.


The king said the name 'Swaziland' had caused confusion.

'Whenever we go abroad, people refer to us as Switzerland,' he said.

Unlike some countries, Swaziland did not change its name when it gained independence in 1968 after being a British protectorate for more than 60 years.

King Mswati III declared the name change during independence day celebrations at a packed sports stadium in the second city of Manzini.


'I would like to announce that Swaziland will now revert to its original name,' he said, wearing red military uniform.'


African countries on getting independence reverted to their ancient names before they were colonised.

So from now on the country will be officially be known as the Kingdom of eSwatini.'



The country, which has a population of about 1.3 million people.

The name change could mean that the country's constitution is re-written, as well as changes for the Royal Swaziland Police Force, the Swaziland Defence Force and the University of Swaziland.


After independence, Rhodesia became Zimbabwe, Nyasaland became Malawi, and Bechuanal and became Botswana.

Eswatini Kingdom is easy to remember...
so no confusion.

Dahomey became Benin... Gold Coast became
known as Ghana.
