How I Lost My Name....(and got it back)

my name is not let's assume I ask for your name what is your name my name is a lien but I never heard that name before so instead I call you Alan nice to meet you aleem soon enough you will get there my name is not Alan it's Alena this may sound funny but it happens to all of us our names get messed up all the time but what if I told you that the world map has the same problem take Kenya for example this country is named after a mountain when a British person came to visit the local said this is Mount Eden Yaga the British man couldn't pronounce it so he said from now on this is Mount Kenya and because of that mistake an entire country now has a different name on the world map in Madagascar I saw a beautiful country only to learn that its name is a mistake Marco Polo thought this was a Mogadishu Somalia and he misspelled that word to Madagascar and now the entire nation has to go by that name because of another in the US I went to Nebraska to meet the American Indians but they're not Indians Columbus didn't know where he landed he thought he was in India but in reality he was in America so he labeled every one of these guys Indian the mother tribe of the Sioux Nation and we're still here in life the person with power can literally change the world map however they want they can change your country name your city name and they can even change your name I mean I know how it feels because it happened to me too when I first went to the United States as a fresh immigrant I told my roommate from Wisconsin that my name was no sire he thought no sire was too complicated so he called me not instead just like the rapper I hated that name but turns out Nass is not just a rapper it also means people in Arabic so I decided to keep that name and start mass daily I got lucky with the name change but many others did not and now they are taking action these people didn't like their country name it was called Ceylon by the British so they changed it and now it's the people in India didn't like the British name Bombay so they change now it's monk by in Vietnam people change the city named Saigon to Ho Chi Minh slowly but surely countries are standing up to their real names and people are too now I require my closest friends to call me no sire because that is my real name this may sound trivial but it's a big deal to a lot of people because nothing is more powerful than being able to control York see you next week hey there how are you thank you so much for watching the video try watching another video they're short and they're meaningful also try following this channel I think you'll enjoy it every day there's gonna be a much better video coming your way thank you so much [Music]
