That street was named in the hey days of Abacha govt, to spite Abacha. They proposed to name another for ken saro Wiwa, I can't remember. Abacha retaliated, I think, by renaming d street where American embassy was located in Lagos Louis farrakhan.Jerry Gana,Abacha's minister of information, make mouth die....how time flies, 17 years ago!

Guys, sorry to burst your bubble. That's an Honourary street name. It's all over here in Chicago and other US cities . If you use Kudirat Abiola street on your mail, it won't get delivered. I still think it's nice for the city of NY to honor her though.

@shizzleStar How can you claim your comparison is relative when the River Thames is in England and this thread is about an American street section with a Nigerian name.... sorry but your comparison is what is stewpid grin .... I agree with @oluks05

@oluks05 You should know better than to alter someone else's comment when quoting it .... that's a juvenile 419 move cheesy

It's better to go do something good to earn a living rather than insulting urself over little issue.

Is there a house on that street? If no house, who go deliver mail there? Make sense small.
If businesses are located on that corner, then what's stopping their mail from being delivered? You think NY is Anambra?
Where did Anambra comes in ?. I live in Chicago and I said we have hundreds of honorary street names and I even commend the city of New York for that. That's why Nigeria is in a rot that she's in. People look at things from the prism of tribes. Nothing wrong from been from Anambra but I am not from that part of the country. Use your sense before insinuating garbage.

A relative comparison would have been the Hudson River, since that's actually in New York...NOT the Thames which is in London* and nowhere near America...

*actually it runs through four southern counties in England, but I'm too lazy to write every city and county...

Yes its good ,but why a damned Yoruba? An Igbo woulda been great coz they're hard working,smart and exemplary.
Re: The Only Street In America With A Nigeria Name by femigeisha: 5:20am On May 20, 2015
@op you might want to verify your facts because there is a street in hawthorne Los Angeles california named after a nigerian (OSAGIE street).

Just a corner and not a street. Well, from corner, we may rise to have a street? If only photoshop or graphic work is not at work here.
