ugodaniel: Absolutely Wrong! Many people said Flora shaw ,Lugards wife gave the name in the throes of passion with Lord Lugard.that might be wrong But Certainly she coined the name Nigeria from Niger-Area. Truly she named us Nigeria but i dont know under the circumstances she did? Was it when she was giving head to Lord L or During orgams? me no know   You copy? |
