A proposal to change Nigeria’s name to United African Republic has been received by the House of Representatives Special Committee on Constitution Review.
The proposal was submitted by Adeleye Jokotoye, a tax consultant to the committee at the South West zonal public hearing in Lagos.
According to Jokotoye, the name ‘Nigeria’ was imposed on the country in the colonial era, hence it should be changed.
Jokotoye also explained that he chose ‘United Africa Republic’ because the country is made up of hundreds of ethnic groups that need to be United.
He also suggested as an alternative, ‘United Alkebulan Republic’ (Alkebulan means ‘mother of mankind’).
Good talk but not this time weare not met together in this country that not respect another ethic group let yoribas rulers is people and igbos do same thing hausa people are do any how in this country
I by changing name of a country is not the right thing, they all know the right thing to do. Why changing the name that have been installed over thousands of year, now? If they want Nigerian to be United they have to copy how other country’s treated their people like American, either you work or not in American as a citizen you’ll receive your state security number MONEY every blesses month which is (SSN) . American state of California is largest more than Nigerian country so I see no reason why our leaders can’t be given us a citizen money every month.. please mr president and other leader’s do the necessary things in this country to be proud of by every citizen of Nigerian and I bet by working on all this to our country all our brothers and sisters that have traveled overseas will plan of coming back home.
