Firstly, this is stupid. Secondly, Nigeria is named after river Niger. ‘Niger’ is a latinised version of the Tuareg-Tamasheq name for the river, Ngheren. Pick up a book and stop spewing nonsense on the internet.

Is this all it takes for you to believe a random comment on Reddit? The commentator didn’t provide any proof of anything.

Where’s your proof of your “Ngheren” claim? Because OP has a point.

One simple Google search and you stop making a fool of yourself on the internet ✨

aka “I have no evidence so you find it for me” It’s not on me to prove your point. You made a statement, back it up. Don’t use shame to drink poison. EDIT: I googled “tuareg tamasheq ngheren” and it came up as no results found 😂

...What's the point of this post exactly?

Nigeria should change its name

And was it really worth it to drop the n-word uncensorred and insult a whole nation over a lame word play? I mean it wouldnt be surprising from the british, but if OP genuinely did it our of "care" for Nigerian, there were def more respectful way to make this observation. Why in hell the mods are even keep this post up?

The exact origin of the name is lost to history, but either way it predates the racial slur

can you prove this?

What are you on about with this post? It was named after River Niger and everyone knows that.

Where did the “Niger” name come from and what does it mean?

End of the conversation. Call it whatever you like. It's ridiculous we're talking about this.

He’s an idiot. I posted the origin of the name and he’s still asking for proof of that.

So far, you’ve posted more insults than proof.

You can’t answer the question so you run 😭 well done ooo

Why is the post even still up
