I found an interesting article on one of my favorite sites Yardflex.com. According to them, Nigeria will name the streets after various blacks who were historically significant. Here's a snippet:
"Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory Minister, Aliyu Umar announced recently that some 80 streets will be renamed in the country's administrative capital and the new street names will more closely reflect the cultural and historical relevance of Africans. Streets will be re-named after legendary Black people like: Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Bob Marley, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X." (END OF EXCERPT) To read more go here:
