<\/span>What is UAR?<\/span><\/h2>\n
United African Republic ( UAR) also known as United Alkebulan Republic is a name proposed to House of Representatives by Adeleye Jokotoye, a tax consultant and a member of the committee on the review of the constitution.<\/p>\n
He said Nigeria was a name imposed on Nigerians by her colonial masters and the wife of Lord Lugard, Flora Shaw.<\/p>\n
According to Mr Jokotoye, the United African Republic or United Alkebula Republic (UAR) will reflect the multi ethnic groups in Nigeria today.<\/p>\n
He also proposed changes to the structure of some government agencies in the country.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What is Alkebulan<\/span><\/h2>\n
$\"What$ <\/p>\n
Alkebulan means mother of mankind or garden of Eden. It was the ancient name of Africa. It is the oldest and the only word of indigenous origin.<\/p>\n
