Mariangeles:
When did Brazil and Ivory coast change theirs?
Yamoussougini? 😧

It is actually from Yamassoukro to Abidjan, and yes Brasilia is the capital of Brazil.

Biafra: Anambra > Atlantic Ocean, Sambisa Forest, the sky, River Niger etc.

Japan, sure say no be only the letters dem move around and not the physical movement

I was shocked too. But will check the reality of this list when I have time, after feeding my family 1st

Amotolongbo:
The new Sri Lanka Capital, Jayawardepura is actually named after their Prime Minister

Just as we must rename Nigeria TINUBURIA before the end of his second term.
The Ayes have it!!

Here's according to Chatgpt:

The capital of Ivory Coast (Côte d’Ivoire) is Yamoussoukro.

Although Yamoussoukro is the official political capital (since 1983), the largest city and economic hub of the country is Abidjan.

Hungary (Magyarorszag) Debrecen to Budapest (Pest, Obuda Buda)

Winterhaven:
Seems pakistan finally realised what the religion of peace truly is and decided to give them their appropriate name.

So bad that it couldn't be denied

Iamajike:
What was the reason behind the relocation of capitals

In some cases to decongest in some cases to centralize.

Very dry joke.

Richtaiwo:
Watch them sing hymns of admiration for every other country that relocated its capital city, calling it vision, strategy, and forward thinking, yet unleash thunder and brimstone on Nigeria for doing exactly the same thing for glaringly practical reasons.

I have rarely encountered a display of inferiority complex so energetic it deserves its own national grid.

Guy how much are you even been paid for this nonsense you keep spewing on here.
Ain't you tired, get a life bro. Nobody is chasing you, but you're behaving as if you're being chased

People will still complain that they're supposed to be financial city or any other juicy city there

franchasng:
If Nigeria truly want nationwide development and unity, the capital of Nigeria should be rotated among the six geopolitical zones once every 50yrs.



Another option is to operate 6 capital cities, namely:


Abuja - Executive capital - President & Vice

Oyo/Ibadan - Financial Capital - CBN headquarters (CBN Governors, etc)

Enugu or Imo/Owerri - Judicial capital - Chief Justice of Nigeria office, Attorney General Office & Supreme Court HQ


Kano - Defence Capital - All Service Chiefs HQ

Akwa Ibom or Cross River - Parliamentary Capital - Senate President/Deputy Senate/Senators


Bauchi or Yobe - Second Judicial capital - House of Reps Speaker/Deputy Speaker of House of Reps/All House of Reps

Germany didn't change
West Germany was Berlin and east Germany was bonn,
When they came back together, they retained berlin

IBB almost lost his live n members of his family to Coup. No coup has been successful in Nig since moving the capital to fct

Abuja was the fct long before IBB, all he did was fast track the physical movement of the FG

How many developed countries used this model? Una no dey serious for this country.

Japan only changed the order of the name in reverse order. Kyoto to Tokyo.

Nigeria should have done the same thing. Lagos to Gosla.

Japan just switched letters and called it a day.

It's all point to one thing. A disconnect & high level of distrust between the leaders & the leads.

Tinubu has changed it back to Lagos...if you don't know...now you know.

Very educative post... Ivory coast and tanzania...new capital's..

Kudos op👍🙏

Abuja was designated as the planned new capital in 1976 (during military rule), but the federal government didn’t physically move there until December 1991 under IBB after the failed coup
