Today, we bring you a history lesson by the irrepressible @Ikechukwu, our lecturer. We are aware that History was struck from the nation’s educational curriculum so you might be lacking in knowledge of this simple subject. Or perhaps we are being presumptuous, so we’ll ask: do you know how your state took its name? Yes? No?

Let’s allow our lecturer do his thing…

We have to say, we are struck by the number of states named after rivers. What was it with the colonialists and water, biko?

The Origin of Nigerian state names.
A Thread!

RT to enlighten somebody.
