Prof. Dora Says "...its Nigeria not Naija"


For the young and the young at heart who have adopted the term "naija" for our dear nation.....below is an advise from mama
"It is very offensive to call Nigeria ‘Naija’. We are making plans to write companies to stop using the word Naija. I have heard that name Naija in adverts. I want them to go back and remove that word. If anybody says this is Naija, ask the person, 'Where is Naija?' We have to stop this word because it is catching up with the young. If we don't put a stop to its usage now, it will continue to project us wrongly.” - Minister of Information and Communication, Prof. Dora Akunyili.
Personally i don't think there is anything wrong with our nickname jor "Naija For Life" lol
