sunboy: Wazobia has know history behind it. It is a shallow name without any significance. The ethnic minority would feel slighted by the name sef. |

Fejoku: The problem with igbo’s is you have never been organised. Like yorubas and the Hausa city state. The only paramount ruler is the obi of Ontisha and I understand he migrated from Benin. It is a new contraption now that every little community now have a chief, it is a new phenomenon borrowed from the west and North. Having said that, how dear Igbo nation reject d name Songhai when they have never had any organised community in their existence. Is it wonder y the east is bedlam’s of unknown gun men because every wants to be boss. At times u need to succumb to authority. |

pandax: Mr man you think the tribes in the middle belts and south exists in isolation, where did the slaves that were sold to Arab traffickers come from , they were middle belts & Southerners. It would be inconceivable that they Northerners in Savanna belts would sell kiths and kin to slavery when their other tribes amongst them to d south. Mansa Musa was believed to have over 1000 slaves. |

pandax: Why not Songhai, Mali is already beating Mali obtained from the Malian empire. Upper Volta is Butkina faso, that leaves just us and Niger to claim the name. And I think the Nigerians are happy with their current name. That leaves us to claim it. |

The Songhai Empire was the largest and last of the three major pre-colonial empires to emerge in West Africa. From its capital at Gao on the Niger River, Songhai expanded in all directions until it stretched from the Atlantic Ocean (modern Senegal and Gambia) to what is now Northwest Nigeria and central Niger. Gao, Songhai’s capital, which remains to this day a small Niger River trading center, was home to the famous Goa Mosque and the Tomb of Askia, the most important of the Songhai emperors. The cities of Timbuktu and Djenne were the other major cultural and commercial centers of the empire. The Songhai people founded Gao around 800 A.D. and established it as their capital in the 11th century during the reign of Dia Kossoi. As the city and region grew in importance, the Malian Empire incorporated both as it expanded across the West African savanna. 1 Like 1 Share |

Some people wants us to change our name and since there used to be a big empire in west Africa called Songhai empire, which stretched all the way from Mauritanian to Chad covering most Northern Nigeria why not adopt this sacred name. Abi Wazobia is better, what is your view. |

At this rate they would probably change the whole member of both houses of Assembly. How can the legislators be focused if all they would be thinking off is election matters. How can they do their work effectively, doing the oversight functions. There is anarchy in the horizon ohh!!!😳 |
