TK :

Scipio Africanus (Not Leo who existed much later) was named after the region 'africa' not the other way round, Alkebulan can only be traced back to 1575 where it was claimed to be of arab origin, the word is pseudo Arabic not even a real arabic word.

YT:Thecheckinwithzae :

Alkebulan is what Arabs called it.

cstephaniem17 :

I thought it was Portugal

Azrael | The Creative Sage :

He's referring to Flora Shaw, Lord Lugard's girlfriend at the time, who named it "Niger Area". But Lagos was named by the Portuguese, which Lagos means "of lakes"

Darryl :

The confidence this dude has and being wrong as often he is is incredible

eddievillain :

so Godfrey is going to keep posting stuff without addressing the elephant in the room😳😳😳

TheMedicineShell :

Lagos is Lagoons in Portugese.

Dionysius :

From my research, that’s backward. Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus wasn’t born with the name “Africanus.” He was given that title after his victory in Africa. The title came from Africa; it didn’t give Africa its name.

GIGSHOT :

been learning a lot on this show

Mo Yu :

al kabulan is also Arabic

Cactus 🌵 Africanus :

Lagos was given its name by Portuguese explorer in the 1400s

Walter Okaeben :

Lagos is named after Lagos is Portugal, meaning lakes or lagoons. except you are talking about lady Flora Shaw, lord Lugard's wife. she suggested the name, Nigeria to lord Lugard.

geolaya20 :

dripdrop :

Dear god, so many incorrect ‘facts’ here

Noneya Business :

Godfrey always speaking on things he’s not fully educated about. Lagos is a name given by the Portuguese in the late 1400s. Flora Shaw only coined the name Nigeria during British colonial era

NAA :

Africa was not named after Scipio Africanus, he was named after Africa for having won a battle there. Flora Shaw/Lady Lugard named Nigeria but Portuguese explores named Lagos which translates to lakes.

mmelimm :

That roman emperor was named after Africa, not the other way round.

Haygu Mashquulin :

No no the name Africa is from Afar people in East Africa
