A National Confab, Chief Mike Ozekhome,on July 3, suggested to change the name Nigeria to 'Airegin' because the present name of the country was twisted by the colonialists and a new one would make a clean brake from the past.
During a debate on report of committee on Political Restructuring and Forms of Government with Gen. Ike Nwachukwu and Mohammed Umara Kumalia, the co-Chairmen of the committee, Ozekhome also proposed to change the present National Anthem to the former and older one which was written by Taiwo Akinwumi.
He also suggested the old flag that was designed with the rising sun on it to be re-introduced against the backdrop that it was peculiar with all parts of the country.
According to him, with all these changes, Nigeria would wash off the colonial legacy."I want to move that this conference should consider changing the name of the country to reflect our originality. The name Nigeria was a colonial imposition which must be corrected. The name was given to the country by Lady Flora Shaw who later became Lady Lugard."
"The country was known formally as the Southern and Northern Protectorates before the name change. It was changed because they said it was too long for them to pronounce. I suggested that the name should bechanged from Nigeria to Airegin. It was just gotten when you write the name Nigeria from 'Right to Left'."
Ozekhome wan't the first one who suggested to change the name of the country. Earlier, another delegate of the ongoing National Conference, Dr Agwu Ukiwe Okali, suggested to change the name of the country from Nigeria to 'Naijiria'in order to spare the country further "setbacks and embarrassment" in the international arena.
Ozekhome also supported the idea of the additional state given to the South East geo-political zone, saying that it will integrate the zone into the system.

I hope these confab guys are serious? You want to change the name "Nigeria" and the best you can think of is flipping it, airegiN"? I sure that confab isn't a comedy show?

Pls let be serious for once.

In case too....

Narional confab = bunch of heediots!

I only want possibly coat of arms '' the two horses and the eagle'' to be inscribed in the national flag ..

Also,

Rising sun/moon surrounded by stars can also be inscribed in the white part of the flag

The national flag looks dull without any inscription in the middle !

How about Naijiristan or Fedral corruption republic?

Nigeria should be renamed Anumgbada. I don't agree with the Ogboni cult name Airegin
If we want a more modern name then remain it New England!

You must have been born on a highway because that's where most accidents happen. It's a shame your birth certificate was an apology letter from the condom factory. Silly cretin!

You are a waste sperm a good for noting fool. And deserve to die.


I mrjangaweed therefore sentence you to death by bombing

I cannot believe that the leader of Umuigbo at the Confab- Maj Gen (Rtd) Ike Omar Mohammed Nwachukwu would subscribe to this kind of nonsense.

What Nigeria needs is not a change in name but change in attitude.

Try to read what you've just typed over again and see if you can make any sense of it. How did you even get on this forum in the first place? Did someone leave the cage open?? Another reason why people should take an IQ test before allowing them near a computer.

Seriously?
Is that the name of a new brand of ogogoro??

The backward name is evocative of a a man so inebriated, after licking spilt gin on the table he gulps after gin fumes in the air.


We'd be laughed away as drunkards.

you've got a thick sense of humor dude..

Initially, I thouught that this confad would produce a lastiing solution to the problems of Nigeria, but what I percieve is that we only have bonch of clowns deciding our future. What has the name of a country got to with problems all around us? And the best name was to flip the "bad" name around. If truely the root cause of our problems were created by the colonialist, then let's change what they did completely by spliting the country to the way it was before their invasion.

When you gather humans and pay them 4 million monthly for no real reason this is what you get, garbage.

And what's the meaning of "airegin?"

Perhaps these clowns don't even know "aire" is a town in the UK...so how's that an anti-colonial name?

Now add "gin" to "aire" and it makes the whole thing utterly ridiculous.

I'm ashamed of these folks.
