nlreserve: Do you understand the meaning of 15th and 16th century empire? It's different from the Biafra case. 1 Like |

Sirianese: Low IQ. Is Nigeria your mother’s name? The English who massacred, enslaved, and colonised you, looting your resources for centuries, did 1000 times more evil against you than what any Hausa-Fulani did. Don’t use your brain. Mumu. |

Topman7: Songhai? As an Igbo man, I have no connection with anything called Songhai and I dont like empires. Let's hold a referendum, disintegrate peacefully and everyone can go and choose their respective names The alternative is to keep answering a British colonial slave name called "Nigeria" 1 Like |

gidgiddy: But the people of Ghana have no connection with the Ghana Empire whose name they adopted. I think your problem is that you are a tribalist bigot, which is really backward for this 21st century digital age. You’re like a dinosaur from the pre-stone age era. |

Reflect7: To each their own, if someone wants to answer the name of an empire, they can do so, but they must not force anyone who does not accept the name to do so. As an Igbo man, I have no connection to Songhai and Igbos don't like empires. That's why its better to hold referendum, go our different ways and choose our individual names. That the British brought us together does not mean we must be together forever |

gidgiddy: My friend many Igbo regions were part of the Benin Empire at one point or the other. Igbos are not alien to empire. And you really need to start seeing the world as it is, not as you wish it to be. Nigeria is not gonna split up any more than the USA, Uganda, or China are gonna split up. You’ll be wasting your time on this Earth pushing this futile agenda of yours. |

Reflect7:Presently, that's the issue of utmost preference in the face of the free fall of the naira, master misplaced priority.....? ........How really dumb people like you and the clown in Aso rock still stay alive is one of the wonders of the present world. |

Reflect7: And how do you think empires are created? They are created by using violence and wars to take over other people's lands. There is nothing good about empires. If Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and USSR could all break up, then there's nothing exceptional about the long failed British colonial contraption called Nigeria breaking up |
