Presidential aspirant calls for changing of Nigeria’s name
,,,A 2023 presidential aspirant on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Garba, on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, called for the change of Nigeria’s name.
Garba said many countries in Africa changed their colonial names after independence, but Nigeria stuck to the name with all its attendant minuses. The 39-year-old therefore asked the country to go back to being called Nigritia.
….Nigritia, or Negroland is an archaic term in European mapping, referring to Europeans’ descriptions of West Africa as an area populated with negroes. The modern nation of Nigeria is in the center.
,,,,The term is probably a direct translation of the Arabic term Bilad as-Sudan, meaning “Land of the Blacks”, corresponding to about the same area.
