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’).

If anyone wants to talk about Nigeria, let them talk about how Nigeria is, and not how Nigeria should have been, because Nigeria has never been. Nigeria is a topographical arrangement by the British for selfish purposes with major focus on resources. The country called Nigeria no longer exists. There was a country. Pure and simple.

If the name was imposed on us, what of the constitution? before changing name, change the constitution to the traditions and aspirations of various ethnic groups in Nigeria, then, come up with a befitting name that reflects the ethnic groups. Changing name is not Nigeria's problem but, ethnic ruling and religion. If these issues are addressed, Nigeria may be normal

It’s not the name that’s the problem, the problem is the people occupying the leadership space, change all the leaders and leave the name Nigeria alone.
