Why do NIgerians call NIgeria "FatherLand" , when it is clearly the MOTHER that gives birth to its children.

and we as children of the Soil, should call this land MotherLand,

I know for a fact that Nazi Germany used to refer to its nation as FatherLand. just saying. . undecided

You can choose whichever term that suits you even though countries are usually referred in feminine terms. Russia for a fact goes for "Mother". Many Countries too.
