A lot Nigerians have no clue how Nigerian states got their names . I was guilty of such, until I came across this piece. ABIA : Abia is an acronym derived from the name of the four main groups of people in the state as at the time it was formed in 1991: A ba B ende I suikwuato A fikpo 2. ADAMAWA: This state was named after a warrior that conquered the region in the begining of the 19th century. His name was Modibbo Adama Bin Ardo Hassan. 3. AKWA–IBOM : Akwa Ibom is named after a river, the Qua Iboe ( or Kwa Iboe ) River . 4. ANAMBARA : It was derived from the name of the Oma Mbal ( Omambala) River ( in Ibo , the native name of the river is Ànyịm Ọma Mbala ) . 5. BAUCHI: There are three versions of how Bauchi got its name . One version says ‘ Bauchi’ is Hausa word meaning the southern flanks of Hausa land . Tribes living in the southern parts of the Hausa land were referred to as “ kasashen bauchi ” and the area they lived in later came to be known simply as Bauchi. According to the second version the state was named for Baushe , a famous hunter who settled there before the 19th century while the third states that ‘bauchi ’ is Hausa word for slavery since it was a center for slave raiders. 6. BAYELSA: Bayelsa was formed as a result of the clamour from the three LGAs in old River ( Brass LGA known as BALGA, Yenegoa LGA known as YELGA and Sagbama LGA – SALGA ) . The name came about from the combination of their acronymns. BA +YEL+SA = BAYELSA. 7. BENUE : It is a word from the Batta language ‘Binuwe ’ which means ‘ Mother of Waters ’. 8. BORNO: The name was derived from ‘ Borno ’ , an alternative name of the Kanuris who form the predominant ethnic group in the state . 9.

KOGI: The name Kogi was said to have be derived from ‘kogin’ , hausa for river. This is to represent the fact that the two biggest Rivers in Nigeria, River Niger and River Benue form a confluence in the state. 23. KWARA : This was named after the River Niger which forms the Northern border of the state. The Nupes used to call the river Kwara. 25. LAGOS : The name is a Portuguese word for lakes .

They perhaps needed a good reason to end it, and you conveniently helped out. Do not beat up yourself, you have a clear conscience.
