“I wanna go to the ocean but I really hate those fuckers in Sierra Leone, Libera, Côte D’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, and Benin.”
I’m also slightly bothered that the Niger River only goes through a tiny sliver of Niger.
I kind of feel like they shouldn’t claim the name. Maybe trade names with Nigeria. It will probably be some pretty easy paperwork alterations. You just take away their A.
