It is true that Flora Louise Shaw coined the name "Nigeria " but the question here is what is the meaning of NIGERIA?

Well according to my research, the idea of that name "Nigeria" was derived from "Niger river". Which is seen as "Niger Area" and the true meaning of Niger is "Darkness".

So, the original meaning of the name "NIGERIA" is Darkness Area or Dark side.

This is Land is not for sale beware of my Son SHURAJU!

No lie in Yoruba Nigeria means "we wake up to suffering n hardship" an ge ria

Lolll

Since everyone is being creative to see another meaning of Nigeria, let me quickly say that in Igbo Nigeria (N'ayị Je ịrịa) means 'We will surely suffer'

maybe yoh were not taught history in your school when you were young....

No wonder everything here is dark and senseless

That name "Nigeria" was something Flora shaw Luggard came up with because she didnt know what to call the place.

I heard she first called the place "Nigger area" before she modified it to "Nigeria"

Either way, the name is still as fake as when Flora shaw created it in 1897 and the country is still as fake as the day Lugard created it in 1914.
