Let's assume I ask for your name.

What is your name?

My name is a lean, but I never heard that name before.

So instead I call you Alan.

Nice to meet you.

A lean.

Soon enough you will get.

My name is not Alan.

It's a lean.

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 Heating Yaga.

The British man couldn't pronounce it so, he said.

From now on, this is Mount Kenya and because off that mistake, an entire country now has a different name on the world map in Madagascar, I saw a beautiful country on Lee to learn that it's 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 off another mistake 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 labelled everyone off these guys Mother tribe of the Sioux Nation.

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.

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 new science.

He thought loose ire was too complicated.

So he called me not instead, just like rapper.

I hated that name.

But turns out NASA is not just a rapper.

It also means people in Arabic.

So I decided to keep that name and start.

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 cold salon by the British.

So they changed it.

And now it's Theo.

People in India didn't like the British name Bombay.

So they changed it.

Now it's moment by indeed.

Now people change the city.

Name Saigon.

Toehold G men.

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 your See you next week.
