Do You Know.. The Word Nigeria Was Coined In Kogi State? by Acidosis(m): 10:48pm On Sep 06, 2012
Please I have to start this thread in response to the silliest comment I've ever read in my life.. made by:

Re: Anambra/Kogi Oil Wells -
Ownership Still Unresolved by
okosodo : 6:35am

"If they are discussing , they should know that kogi is not supposed to be
a state."


Okosodo, as the name implies "fall inside a river" should be marked here on nairaland as the silliest indigene of his densely populated fraudulent catchment area.

For your Information, Kogi state is the first administrative capital of modern day Nigeria . It was in Lokoja, that the name Nigeria , was coined by Flora Shaw, the future wife of Baron Lugard , a British colonial administrator,while gazing out at the river that stretched before her in the late 19th century.

Mineral resources include coal, limestone, iron, petroleum and tin.

Now you wondering where I got these mineral resources from? well it has been their even before our fathers. The non-utilization is as a result of negligence, tribalistic cowards and the fraudulent pigs in the F.G who are "only" after their state and region.

I guess you have to read between lines of recorded events about the Northern and Southern Protectorates when you are sober and free of unnecessary pressure from tribalism. There is a difference between Colonial Military, Administrative and Royal Niger Company headquarters. Remember Lord Lugard was a soldier.

Yes I know, but whatever regime you know and have to quote is still within this NIGERIA. And besides, does that justify the silly statement from the silly poster?

I have a feeling that Lady Lugard was misbehaving and had named Nigeria after 'Nigger area' and not 'Niger area' as assumed. Even at that,'Niger' is a polite way of saying 'nigger'.
