Currently the country is heading nowhere

Goldesia was sold not Nigeria at a paltry £865,000...

Did the Historical Bible not tell of how IESUS HORACE CHRISTOS who later became JESUS was sold at 30pieces of silver and yet he became king of the world.
Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria..
Look closely for the truth is obvious.

Many African countries have changed
their colonial given names, I wonder
why Nigeria has not opened discussion
on this. After all, we even changed our
colonial, though better national anthem..

A common practice by the Europeans
when they first began making contact with
the West African peoples was to name
the various areas in accordance with what
product was readily available from the
coastal areas in question.

Therefore, the area now called Ghana
was a great source of gold, while ivory
which was another valued commodity
was abundant in the area still bearing
Ivory Coast today..

Interestingly, the area that became Nigeria,
especially the now South- South region
being the biggest source of slaves and was
initially called 'Slave Coast' with the Igbos ( "Eboes"wink making up a sizeable population of those sold into slavery from West Africa.


A few Examples countries that changed
their colonial names after independence..

👉Benin Republic was "Dahomey"

👉Burkina Faso was "Upper Volts"

👉Ghana Was was "Gold Coast"

👉Niger Republic was "French Sudan'

👉Zimbabwe was Southern Rhodesia


And many more.




Below is a US advert for sales of
"Eboe" slaves, just arriving from Bonny.
Igbo slaves were valued as very hardworking
Everything you said was good except for one thing. The current national anthem is better

Current anthem is just like a school
or community club song.. It doesn't
motivate you to achieve anything. In fact
Most government functionaries an
indeed adults can't even recite the first
stanza, school children are even worse
because their teachers can't even recite
it...

Nigeria's call obey ......🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 😁😂😁



Compatriots is voiced as "compassion"

Now Nigeria is ours we can change the name if we want
Bandits and rampaging gunmen have renamed many captured villages and towns up north

efforts to return refugees and displaced people back to their land were never initiated

Re: Goldesia: The Name Earlier Proposed For Nigeria by Oburu202: 3:13pm On Feb 22, 2024
Poor Nigeria is still British property.

We be market wey dem buy🤦

That’s why they keep dictating who becomes what in Nigeria and continue to select buffoons while at it.

But someday, just like the Americans, the Chinese and the Arabs broke free, Nigeria, nay Africa, will break free from these vultures.

Break free? I laugh in Chinese. Do we have what it takes to break free? Look at those who break free what they have. Unity, strong will, manpower, etc. We don't have unity and we are not noble.

Very selfish set of people. Tribalism and corruption is killing us.

Abeg stop dreaming.

Africans and stupidity. Imagine perpetuating what a few white men designed for their selfish benefit. Imagine if it was Asians or Europeans that some race sat at a table and shared like cake. Even Arab tribe won't permit it. It can only be the black race tolerating rubbish. None would have the boldness to ask why.
Ignorance isn't bliss.
The British/French made 90% of Arab countries you see today, created India.
Other European countries also created, split or merged several asian countries still in existence.
