Mount Patti

The Mount Patti Hill is a 1503 foot-tall (458 m) mountain and tourist attraction in Lokoja, Nigeria.

[1][2] The name (Nigeria) was coined by Flora Shaw in 1914 when looking at Lokoja from top of The Mount Patti.

In an essay that first appeared in The Times on 8 January 1897, Shaw suggested the name Nigeria for the British Protectorate on the Niger River.

In her essay, She made the case for a shorter-term that would be used for the "agglomeration of pagan and Mohammedan States" to replace the official title, "Royal Niger Company Territories".

In 1900, the governor-general of Northern and Southern Protectorate of Nigeria Sir Lord Frederick Lugard and other colonial leaders resided their office and resting place on the Mountain, with the mount peak closed to the River Niger and Benue River.
