So many people up till today still do not know the difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain, England and even London. If you ask some people which country they will like to travel to and they will tell you London or UK which is very wrong.

England is a country just like Nigeria and it's capital is London just as Abuja is capital of Nigerian. So London is not a country but the capital of the country called England.

Great Britain is the combination of three (3) countries that came together as one. These countries are: England, Scotland and Wales.
However when Northern Ireland is included among these three countries they are all referred to as United Kingdom.

Furthermore, these four (4) nations all have their own respective capitals which are as follows:
England - London
Scotland - Edinburg
Wales - Cardiff
Northern Ireland - Belfast

Finally, one very important point to note is that Northern Ireland is not the same as Republic of Ireland which is a separate country on its own with Dublin as it's capital.

I hope one or two people will learn from this information.

Thank you for this post...
