Drabeey:Nairaland used to be filled with intelligent people until about a year ago when ethnic champions, frustrated teenagers and admission seekers found a home on Nairaland. Intelligent people had to give way for the stupid ones who now happen to be in the majority. 11 Likes 1 Share |

1) Kwara is a corruption of the name "Kora" which was the original name of the river Niger. 2) Nigré (meaning 'dark', as in 'Niggger' ) is the name given the river 'kora' by the Europeans when they first saw it, due to the dark nature of the water. In summary, 2 Nigerian States are named after the same river in different languages. 1 Like |
