The topic "Drop The Name Nigeria, It's Demeaning: Wole Olanipekun Advocates Restructuring" seems to address a significant and contentious issue within Nigerian politics and society. Advocating for restructuring and questioning the name of the nation is a thought-provoking stance that likely sparks discussions about the country's identity, history, and political future. It would be interesting to explore the arguments and perspectives presented by Wole Olanipekun and others on this topic to better understand the context and implications of such a proposal. 32 Likes 5 Shares |

Why is Nnamdi Kanu being vindicated every now and then. Remembered how he frowned at the name NIGERIA. Good morning to all the magas copying him. MNK is a prophet honestly. Many tribes would wish to have him. That's why Jealousy no let them commend his sagacity. Man is a genius. If Mandela spent years in prison and came out victorious, I believe MNK is already on the footpath. God bless him abundantly 222 Likes 36 Shares |

I disagree with the learned SAN. Every parent has the right to name their child. The British created Nigeria as a country and have a right to name it. Without the British, there would be no Nigeria. To discard the name Nigeria means you might as well dismember the country. That is unacceptable to the majority of Nigerians who fought a brutal civil war to keep the country together. The problem of Nigeria is not in its name but in corrupt citizens who are majority in the country. 41 Likes 6 Shares |

And these are supposed to be the very revered so-called legal luminaries a country boasts of. So, if Wole finds his way to become the President of this country his first agenda will be to rename the country. Just point out one sin the country or appellate "Nigeria" has committed on its own accord. This is akin to changing a wine bottle without a change of the liquid contents and hoping on a change in customer satisfaction in terms of product quality. If you like carry pig go car wash, open all the nozzle to wash him body, the moment you turn off the tap e go fall yakata inside the puddle wey don gather begin swim inside. Carry monkey, wear am agabada or suit, send am go America come tell am say him name no be monkey again day na Bulablu. When monkey see banana e go remind you say him monkeyness na follow-come....ekpas We the individuals making up the space called Nigeria are the ones denting the "poor Nigeria's" name and image and owe him/her a huge apology. And to do that we need a holistic and fundamental change in every facet of our socioeconomic values/lives, culture, and morals. Sense no be by age truly. Na the people wey dem say make we dey look up to and emulate be these ones oh. They don't even have a clue what ails the country they seek to govern. Shaking my head. 43 Likes 9 Shares |

Why can’t you tell your clueless drug baron Tinubu you are defending I’m the presidential election petition tribunal that he should change Nigeria name. You only want to perpetuate more fraud to the system by suddenly change your thoughts about restructuring of Nigeria political system of government. When GEJ started it then, you were against it. When People preached loudly on restructuring especially Atiku Abubakar saying it emphatically that when he reach power, his first assignment is to restructure this Nation. Now you are coming to your sense now. With the clueless man you are defending in the court of justice, Tinubu will never perfect restructuring in his government. Meanwhile, kindly share, like and comment on my YouTube channel. Thanks 🙏 It’s Hypocritical for Tinubu to subject Nigerians to Poverty - Pastor Tunde Bakare Tinubu is wicked in his government, Tinubu’s government is liberal and hypocritical to subject Nigerians to Extreme poverty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPJuhdz23a0?si=E6JhKq5BGQHnTBOk 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Nothing is wrong with the name Nigeria. If you like change the name 500 times, it won’t affect anything expect you put in work. So this will be misplaced priority. 123 Likes 2 Shares |

AsomughaChuks05: While I agree with part of your submissions, it is imperative to make a correction to one of your points. The British never created Nigeria as a country. The British created Nigeria as a business enterprise to be headed by an indigenous CEO/President while the British Royals kept the majority shareholding and control of the board. If in doubt, ask yourself why is it that anyone who seeks to preside over Nigeria must first go to 10 Downing street to make their intentions known while also submitting their CVs for a possible interview and assurances secured from the applicants on how they intend to make the business enterprise more beneficial and profitable to them (the board of directors/majority shareholders)?. To pass their interview and to be deemed as fit for the top job, of course, you will have to give them assurances of a prosperous Nigeria under your leadership. However, it is pertinent to note that "A Prosperous Nigeria" in this context is hugely different for "Prosperous Nigerians". While the former is what concerns and benefits them as the real owners of the business enterprise "Nigeria", the possibility of the latter goes against their dividends and hell no way you will be getting their support for the top job. In conclusion: If you set out to work for the prosperity and betterment of Nigerians, it would mean you starving the shareholders of their premium payouts. No serious business person dey put hand for that kind kalo kalo business. If you say you get coconut head and want be hero by force to care for your people, them know how to take care of you. Dem get agents for even your household. You go "chop imaginary apple" by force. Una doooooh... Just something to ponder upon... 37 Likes 5 Shares |
