    it was coined from river niger by flora shaw.
    3) arms of Nigeria
    has a black shield with two

    together like the letter Y.
    These represent the two

    represents Nigeria’s good earth while the TWO HORSES on each
    side represents dignity. The EAGLE represents strength, while
    the green and white bands on the top of the shield represents
    the rich agricultural land of the inspiring country. The YELLOW
    FLOWERS at the base are Costus Spectabilis, it stands for the
    beauty of Nigeria. The slogan- Unity and Faith, Peace and
    Progress written at the base of the Coat of Arm is Nigeria’s
    motto

    2) 1960 by Britain

    4) unity, faith, peace and progress
