It's very sad and highly unfortunate that there is a Proposal to change the countries name from Nigeria to UAR , United African Republic. What's wrong with the name Nigeria ? Is The name Peter better than the name Uche ? Is the name Abraham better than the name Segun ? Is the name Sandra better than Uchenna ? A name is just a name, the real thing is what or who is behind that name. Stealing the name Cleopatra will not make you hotter or sexier than Folake who is naturally hot and sexy. What Nigerians need to do is Think more, be more Creative, Hardworking and Honest, Straight forward within Nigeria, Africa and on The Global Stage.
Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Onyeka Onwenu, Christ Essien Igbokwe, Sunny Ade, Tuface, Dbanj, ZEAL ,Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade ,Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy have all worked hard and have internationally respected names. People Like Tayo Oloko have shaken the world To it's Very Foundations and changed the course of Technology and smartphones. The Nigerian Government needs to start thinking like an individual in terms of policies. Changing the Name Nigeria to UAR United African Republic is just cosmetic. Nigeria needs real change. Not a promise of change that is built on hyper bole and hopplla but real change built on hard thinking , creativity, hardwork, honesty. Iet us not be like all those countries that host world cups and Olympics thinking it will jump start their economies. Ivory coast changed their name to Cote D ivorie, Gold Coast became Ghana. What did the change do for their economies ? When I think of Ghana one of the things that comes first to mind is Big Booty Ghana Instagram Women or the football team The Black Stars of Ghana . Ghana is King of The Booty ...... sadly the football team is in decline.
The often maligned Tecno Mobile came into Nigeria when there was hatred, distrust and mistrust to China or Chinese phones. Tecno created the Dual Sim Phone and gave away free Sim cards. I have a 10 year old 128Mb ( 128 mega byte ) Sim card from a 2010 Tecno T390 phone that still works in very good condition. Tecno have come out with Tecno Camon 17 which has gotten good reviews due to its photo image quality, I think infinix makes better phones and better cameras , that is for another day and what I really want is a Huawei P30 PRO or P40, a wonderful camera is better than a billion Apps. European Nokia that was once King has collapsed totally and the Android comeback looks like a flop. Windows phone collapsed while Android marches on. It is what that is inside that counts.
" It's not the name of a country that is important, it's the people in the country that are " (O) Tayo Oloko.
