Listen to this Prof. and tell me if we need to rethink Uganda.
The name Nigeria was created by Lord Lugard and his girlfriend to define Nigger area. The Prof wants to change it to the United Republic of Songhai. Those who read or have studied African history know that Songhai was an empire at par with Ghana and Mali. The founding father of Ghana,Kwame Nkrumah, was far-sighted enough to change the name from Gold Coast.
The name Uganda is a British creation derived from Buganda. Since Buganda and purportedly others desire federalism, would it make sense to change the name of the country? While we are at it, we should also change the names of several waters and other natural structures to their original native names. This will be psychologically inspiring, and believers will not need some European names or Arab names to claim their religiosities.
