Meaning Of Colonies.. (at Least This Should Ring A Bell To All Nigerians)

colonies
noun

colonies is a plural word and cannot be define directly.

Firstly you cant get the actual meaning of colonies without first understanding what the singular of it is.

Example, colony is the singular which can be define and while colonies is the plural.

colony
noun

1, Colony. A colony is a country which is controlled by a more powerful country.

( Example, this is talking about colonialism, to colonize another country or area. more like the colonial era )


2, Colony. A country or area under the full or partial political control of another country and occupied by settlers from that country..

( Example, this is talking about a siege to another country or community. forcefully conversion of land occupancy, strategic location, natural resources e.t.c without recognition of the state law or it people, only answerable to parent region. more like a colonial era )


3, Colony. A colony is a group of people who settle in a new place but keep ties to their homeland.

( Example, this one means that a government of it own is existing inside another government territory, which is not answerable to the law of the lands, but rather to another government where it came from. the state laws or community control is not applicable to them, they are totally independent and exempted from all forms of controls of the states. more like a totalitarian.)


now since we can now fathom what is colony, let check the plural which is colonies.

colonies means having more colony, and in translation it means having the colony the size of a local government across the all 36 states.
