Nigeria Name Should Change From “Nigger Area” To “United Rep. Of Songhai” – Prof. Akin Oyebode

Professor of International Law And Jurisprudence at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Professor Akin Oyebode, who is also a delegate at the ongoing National Confab in Abuja suggested among other things that “Nigeria” is a colonial name bequeathed by colonial ruler, Lord Lugard as suggested to him by his “girl friend”, Flora Shaw.
Oyebode also said the River Niger was wrongly named, adding that the River actually discovered Mungo Park and not the other way round.
He explained reason for his positions in this interview with SaharaTV. Enjoy!
