Nigeria set to change its colonial name to united African republic

[kittenheels]

Thomas Sankara renamed the Republic of Upper Volta Burkina Faso by taking the word "Burkina" from Mossi and "Faso" from Dioula -> Burkina Faso = the Land of the Honest Men.

Even though there are like 60 native languages spoken in the country, taking words from the main ones, those that almost everybody talk, to create one uniting title is pretty dope imo

It's that or an english name so no one feels slighted

The people's prayer is to break up the ******ia into Biafra, Yourba Nation, Middlebelt..etc..don't let this name propaganda fool you. Western news is not carrying Naija news but a civil war is brewing, Al Jazeera, twitter, YouTube is how I get my news.

Nigeria is an amalgamation of "****** area". These demonic white people did that then left white Bible's everywhere and we've been doomed ever since.

Tell it breh.. Biafran?

You're Sierra Leonean if I'm not mistaken? SL Krio?

Yes

 

[frush11]

I thinking GHANA or Nigeria

We are Diasporans Blacks who happen to live in an African country because off various factors such as slavery. The population off Africa is a lot more complex then you think. Especially the Coastline and Island Countries.

im sorry but that's an ugly name

 

[generic-username]

a quick google search will tell you

Africa is a continent with thousands of ethnic groups Do you think they all called it "alkebulan" which according to google is an Arabic word?

Where im from we call them ñañigo and they created a freemason-like secret society called abakua. Wiki says theres 600,000 of them in the cross river state and that they are a igbo splinter group? Just wanted to know about that since id honestly love to see all of the southern parts of Nigeria one day and possibly Benin as well from a historical and spiritual perspective. But the political situation is killing any dream of that for right now

I was just reading about the Leopard Society...

 

[tuckgod]

we (AA) got cacs last names and Africans let cacs name their own countries


shyt even cacs named the continent "Africa" smh they should've just kept the name "Alkebulan"


SMH

Arabs called (some of) it Alkebulan.

We don’t know the “original” name of that entire land mass and there probably never was one.

Nigeria is not united so the name is not fitting. Fulani are fooling alot of ppl with their paid propaganda. They are the minority who took over Nigeria who want it to say together for their Islamic agenda. Know this and know peace. If you know nothing about Nigeria please stfu and stick to your local politics. Sincerely, someone who cares about the indigenous ppl in the contraption called Nigeria. Some of yall are over 5 years late realizing Nigeria means N**ga Area, a racial slur. There is a whole documentary on Netflix.

The Sierra Leonean Krio/Creole people

I was shocked when I met a couple of Sierra Leoneans that had English surnames. Then I learned their history. Complex and fascinating.

Im reading about it as well, I know men who are initiates but its not an easy thing to get into from inside the u.s.

'Omo United African Republic' doesn't have quite the ring to it

Krio from Sierra Leone: Afro-Diasporans with a twist?

Scroll down, you'll see how mixed up we are. And that's just on the Liberated Africans side, not the Maroons, Nova Scotians, or the Ones from London

some of the natives also called it Alkebulan ( Nubians & Ethiopians) and my main point was that i'd rather the name come from the people of the land rather than it come from white people.

That’s what I’m saying.

Alkebulan is a descriptive name..

The Land of the Blacks in Arabic.

That’s not a name “blacks” gave themselves.

Every name we have is a name given by someone else.
