Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has called for the scrapping of the name, ‘Nigeria’.
Recall that a British journalist and writer, Flora Louise Shaw, popularly known as Lady Lugard, is credited with having coined the name “Nigeria” in 1897.Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, the National Coordinator of HURIWA, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, noted that the name is one of the major reasons some people are referring to Nigeria as a zoo.
“None of our ancestors gave us that name Nigeria. Are we saying that we don’t have …we in HURIWA we can give the National Assembly one hundred names if they are looking for a name to give Nigeria. “Other countries all over Africa decided to do that some of them they gave Gold Coast and they rejected it because we’re not doing slave trade here. They carved a new name for themselves.
