New Name For Nigeria by vodkat: 11:38am On Mar 08, 2009
i think Nigeria needs a new name. A name that is given to it by its own people. Nigeria is a latin word for black .

Any suggestions for a name that we should pass on to the next generation?

Yes we have the second worst colonial given name, only behind Niger : ( The name Nigeria was given as a derogatory insult by the wife (Flora Shaw) of a British colonialist. Pronounced correctly it is Nig*eria : ( It's so shameful. We should have changed it at independence, all the other ex-colonies did. By continuing to use the term Nigeria, we are insulting ourselves and holding back or own progress.
Electricity Abi? Go and study...you have sunshine year round, learn to build solar panel and contribute to progress. Stop waiting for government to wear your shoe for you...you will wait long time and walk barefoot
