AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND THEIR OLD NAMES. AFRICA WAS ONCE CALLED ETHIOPIAN CONTINENT.

I Really Love My Continent, For God Has Made It Possible For The world To Understand That, Everything Is Coming From My Mother Africa. Names were wrongly pronounced to suit their tongues! Beijing was Perking and Indian capital together with their commercial hub Mumbai were called wrongly like Bombey.

Its wrong not to refer to old names of African countries. The so-called old names are in fact colonial names. I want to embark on a journey of discovery to Europe to discover the new land, rivers and mountains and begin the process of giving them names such as Shaka, Hintsa, Moshoeshoe, Queen Mantatisi, Queen Nandi, etc. We are sick and tired of colonial history. Its time to liberate history from colonialism, racism, prejudice and white supremacy.
