I created this topic because Niger and Nigeria get mixed up when described by their adjectives; Nigerian and Nigerien. Do you think Nigeria should change its name for branding purpose to avoid the mix ups? If you support the notion, what name would you suggest? Eledumare is my choice. Beautiful sounding and Yoruba word for God. Inawutaoku…..Yoruba/Hausa/Igbo word for fire. Every Nigerian has a burning passion |

RhinoChest:I have personally mulled this idea repeatedly because of the origin of and the intensive negative press around the name Nigeria. I suggest we name it Wazobiao, where the O stand for others. |

Nigeria is a very good name. It must not be changed. There are also Congo and DR Congo in Africa. There is a secret about naming a country after a great river but I won't say here. 2 Likes |

I suggest Airegin. Nigeria spelt backwards might just be what we need to move forward. |

RhinoChest:Had Nigeria been a serious country, long time ago is should have changed that stupid British colonial name "Nigeria" that a white woman created in London The reason Nigeria cannot chsnge its name is because nothing really brings the indigenes together and there is no name that can bring them together |

I strong suggest we both change our name and our flage and our national anthem and pledge. We need a new identity, we need a flag that inspire, this green white green is so uncreative and so dull. We need a new name and new identity. |
