    On 8 January 1897 the name of ‘Nigeria’ appeared in print for the first time. It was the title of an article in our leading newspaper, written by Miss Flora Shaw, who at that time ‘did the Colonies for The Times ’, as Cecil Rhodes expressed it. Miss Shaw later became the wife of Lord Lugard, the great builder of Nigeria; and one of the greatest of all British Colonial Administrators. And here is what Miss Shaw said

    Open AccessC K MeekARTICLEAfrica1943

    Opening ParagraphMost people are aware that Nigeria is named after the river Niger, but many may be surprised to hear that the word Niger is not derived from the Latin adjective niger meaning 'black', but from a Libyan and Sudanic root, meaning 'water"or 'river'. This word was used by the geographer Ptolemy some 1,800 years ago in the Greek form of 'Niγɛιρ', and it is used to-day by the tribes of lake Chad in the form of njer. But Pliny employed …

  • Marriage by Exchange in Nigeria. A Disappearing Institution

    Open AccessC K MeekARTICLEAfrica1936Cited by: 6

    Opening ParagraphIn Nigeria there are two principal methods of contracting marriages (a) by the payment of a bride-price, and (b) by exchange.I use the well-established term 'bride-price' in preference to the newfangled term 'bride-wealth' because the exact equivalent of the term 'bride-price' is used in many native Nigerian languages, and also because the term connotes a standard rate payable for a bride, whereas 'bride-wealth' is a vague term w…

    Opening ParagraphThis article is an attempt to give some account of the magicoreligious ideas of the Bachama tribe. It is based on notes made during a ten-days' visit to the tribe in the spring of 1927. During this visit I had the good fortune to witness the annual festival at Fare, the description of which occupies the major part of the following remarks.
