Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has called for the scrapping of the name, ‘Nigeria’.
HURIWA called on the National Assembly to consider a new name for the country in its proposed Construction amendment.
The group claims the name has no root in the country since it was given by a white lady who came all the way from England to visit her boyfriend and along the line coined the name.
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.
