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.

In three of the cases the waste became home to rodents. The court penalties followed five successful prosecutions brought by Blackburn with Darwen Council,. They followed neighbours complaining about mounting rubbish – with front and rear gardens and back alleys being used as dumping grounds for rotting waste. The defendants were summonsed to appear before Blackburn Magistrates last month after ignoring calls to take action by the council. Brittany Lea Walker of Whinney Lane, Blackburn; Russell Holden of Ennerdale Avenue, Blackburn; Stephen Duerden of New Bank Road, Blackburn; and Sylvia Holmes New Chapel Street, Blackburn, were each ordered to pay £1,046 each after failing to comply with requests to remove their waste.
