Old tales and myths of origin should be the place to start.

What name have you gotten from old tales and Myths as the name before 'Nigeria'?
Re: Happening Now!! Debate On Changing The Country's Name, "Nigeria" Rages On!! by PDJT: 2:20pm On Jul 25, 2017
-Nigerians should look for the book: "The passing of the great race" by Madison Grant, and see how the intellectuals who called themselves "The Progressives" at that time(late 19th & early 20th centuries) saw the black man and Southern/Eastern Europeans.
-Lugard's ideals were shared by the leaders of that era, including Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, British establishment etc.

Will try and read that.

But trust me, there was no way they could kick against his ideals since he was dealing with blacks that were underdeveloped

Nigeria is a good name and the flag is a good design, it would be tragic to discard them. Indian ocean is not a good name.It should be African Ocean, fight to change such things first. Then again, Africa isn't indigenous to the continent.
