A Need To Change The Name Nigeria To Wazobia
« on: March 18, 2007, 07:59 PM »

hello nairalanders, well this post may look unusual why should we change our name as being nigerians to wazobians well nigeria was the name given to us by our colonial masters as a matter of fact Lord Lugards mistress (girlfriend) gave the name to us it looks very foreign and maybe that is the reason why we have too many things that are wrong ,  no hard feelings just a suggestion i believe it may be a good idea considering the fact  that waziobia brings us all together ,  so can i say fellow waziobians Cool

because they told you Nigeria consist of only Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo Huh

i say the problem is not the name , if we must change it for any reason then it has to be some thing that every Nigerian will be happy with.

i see no reason why we can't change the name Congo DRC did it and it worked for them don't forget the name formely given to them was zaire, i believe the name wazobia looks more approachable, the point is good

The Wazobia word means come in Yoruba,Hausa and Igbo. Have you consider what the other people that are not of the above communities will think about it? Don´t you think they will feel left out or something so why don´t you think of another name instead.

  I've been thinking of that name since,not even a legal wife, a prostitute as I may classified her, who knows in what mood they were when such a name came to her mind.
     WAZOBIA may sound better since it's derives from the 3 major languages well spoken here. not that we're counting others out.
        let see if the name will brings us closer to be one black nation.
