Why Do We Call Ourselves Nigeria? This Is Songhai Empire. Our Name Is SONGHAI. by Topman7: 10:04pm On Feb 18 |
I'm tired of this English name, Nigeria. Large parts of this nation were part and parcel of the mighty Songhai Empire. Songhai Empire Other nations have taken up the names of the other powerful empires like Ghana and Mali, Benin etc. It is now for us to take the last one SONGHAI and make it ours! To hell with the name Nigeria! Welcome to the Federal Republic of Songhai!! |

The songuy abi na sonmoon no reach south ooo. We are ok with our Biafra. Ok? I'm in support of having the Nigeria destroyed. I agree with you that it's a foreign name by the business owners. Now, let's face reality and de almagamate the northan and southern Nigeria and then, break it further to give birth to Biafra. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Bookhub: We want to name it after the most prominent and powerful empire of this region. I would have preferred to name it BENIN, but that name has been taken up. So Songhai is the next best. The Aro theocracy was highly regarded and is a valued part of our history. I'm completely detribalised so I don't look at this issue through ethnic rivalry lenses. |

PortHarcourtcit: What...? What is this CLOWN on about? Wanting an AFRICAN name for an AFRICAN COUNTRY is ''devilish''? Thanks Britain, for destroying the minds of our people, and replacing their ancient pride and dignity with self hatred and inferiority complex. Pathetic. 1 Like |

Topman7: You no know wetin you dey talk,you'll be whole sale handing over the country to the hausa-fulani. Ghana chose a neutral name for this reason, Benin also chose a neutral name for the same reason. Ghana could have gone for Ashanti and Benin for Dahomey but they knew it will be sending the wrong signals. Songhai will give a wrong impression that the hausa-fulani conquered the south,many historians will manipulate history to suite that narrative. 1 Like |

It won't surprise me if the ancestors are working against us because we abandoned them to embrace the English, from religion to even the naming of our land, when we have so many great kingdoms and empires we can use to name ourselves. Countries with indigenous names like Kenya, Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania etc all seem more serious and patriotic in the way they do things, with far less corruption and abuse of office. It is our total political disconnectedness from the past that makes us unpatriotic and corrupt, because we are like a tree without roots. |

Topman7: In Nigeria it covered only the hausa-fulani north( Northwest) not even north east,it will be misrepresentated by historians to mean Nigeria is a hausa-fulani territory. Kwara or Benue are actually indigenous names |
