The name Nigeria should be changed from what Lord Lugard's mistress gave the territory since inception; other African countries did that.
Gold Coast- Ghana
Upper Volta-Burkina Faso.
Nigeria was formerly called[b] slave coast [/b]before the Lord Lugard mistress renamed it Nigeria.

Other names that needs immediate change.

Lagos (Lagoon in Portuguese) Should be named[b] EKO[/b]

Escravos (Slave) should be renamed[b] Freedom city[/b]

Port Harcourt should be renamed[b] Port Jaja[/b]

Nigeria should be deleted and befitting name should be used, until then, the country is still not independent.

We need to start taking our destiny into our hands, most people change their names after reaching some level of maturity.

PDP NEC should be the first set that needs Re-branding and thorough counseling about corruption

What the country need are issue based re-branding; one is to change the name "NIGERIA" the name means something but makes no sense, or give any hope or sense of belonging.

The nation should take a good name for herself.

THE ONLY THING DORA NEED TO FOCUS ON NOW IS RE-BRANDING NEPA(PHCN), OTHERS WILL BE ADDED TO THE COUNTRY AUTOMATICALLY,

NIGERIA is a beautiful name.we only need to change out attitude

No it's not, just like Jacob in the bible didn't amount to anything till his name was changed to Isreal. The colonial masters gives name to their territory then as mockery of their state of existence then.

NEW NAIJA for real

the federal republic of wazobia

Is this what we really need - re-branding ?

carrying of ghana must go bags in and around govt organizations especially the accounts office of all federal ministries!!!!!

kael:

the federal republic of wazobia

If zoning, qouta system and federal character will not come into play, it's not a bad idea. but truth other ethnic groups, they'll want to know if the country belongs to Yourba, Hausa and Ibo.

Name changing could just be a step to the right direction and transformation

zionic:

yea its just the attitude that's all.

Nyasa land-Malawi

Northern Rhodesia-Zambia

Southern Rhodesia-Zimbabwe

Namibia-South West Africa Republic

Bechuanaland-Botswana

Methinks,the change of a country's name is superficial and mundane and can be likened to a situation whereby instead of finding a cure to leprosy you are busy looking for the antidote for ringworm.

Bad leadership is simply the bane of Africa

I am with you!

word and synonym
Nigeria: Corruption.

DORA SHULD SEEK REBRANDING D KINGDOM OF PHCN 1ST ,AND ALL OTHER SECTOR WILL BE ADDED TO IT.

All the countries that have had a name change, where are they today? Only Ghana is making some sort of headway.
Name change is not our problem at all.
Fix power and everything else will follow

^^^^^^^^ Quite the contrary.


Many of those countries actually are more stable.

@poster, of course I agree with you, a total re-branding and name change as opposed to remaining a Niggaaar area that Oyibo has and still thinks we are.

You just need to mention the name Nigeria abroad for people to be regarding you with caution! too bad you know?

re-branding is not realy the issue here, eg, our re-brandered e-passport has no meaning when u land to another country with a nigerian e-passport, u will be search like u are from another planet, guys our problem is not re-branding, our problem is us in general

I am in total agreement with you, but the change should only happen when we become an emancipated nation ie free from the current puppet administrations that we have had since 1960. Failing that we might as well go back to calling ourselves the slave coast since we are still in chains (mental).

The national flag. With how coloful we are, green and white are too bland to reprez us. QED-tell them i said so.

True talk, the country is just a puppet in the hand of many nation, some for political reasons, some for religious, some for economic reasons.

It's only in Nigeria that they allow foreign nationals to come in unchecked, if they are spies or not, does not border anyone, as a result, we're still mentally enslaved to other countries.

rebranding project is a welcome develoment. My problem with it is about what and whom we are rebranding for? If we're rebranding just 2 get wide acceptance and commendation from the international community, we're get'n it d wrong way. Cos d homefront here shld be considered too. Rebranding shld start 4rm within. 9jans are greedy. Our leaders are saddists 4 'saddis has become d ruling class religion, cos of their inglorious silence'. I believe dt d change in attiude shld start 4rm d head. They're d cause of our problem. Diaz not'n wrong wt d name . .nigeria

Total re-branding!!!!

Dora needs to re-brand herself first

^^^ especially that her creeepy smile. i creeps me out .

Since we cannot make up our minds
We have already been rebranded
