Most people do think the river Niger is named after Niger state lol. Very wrong
Who thinks that
Every body knows the state was named after the river
In fact lots of places have been named from that rice including Niger, Nigeria and other places

Some of these you mentioned are creeks when compared to the list. Imagine river congo being the deepest in the world and river Nile being the longest in the world. This means Africa is truly endowned!

The Original mention by the composer is "Senegal". The idea is to mention one river/tributary in Africa.

And mind you, it's a rhyme that kids from many countries sing. It's not only for Nigeria.

Lyrics of the rhymes changes from Country to Country as you can observed from the thread. Benue river isn't synonymous to Nigeria alone, it flowed from Cameroon and travels west ward

Same is the Congo river passes through 9 countries. But the composer wouldn't mention all the countries it passes. "Niger" is already mentioned for Nigeria. Did you see where 2 rivers is mentioned for in any particular country? If you want as many rivers in Nigeria to be mentioned then you can as well compose your own rhyme. I don't know how you were thought in your time, but in our good old days when respect is given to the original composer, "Senegal" was the river mentioned.
Let's give respect to Originality. That's all I'm saying!

Seriously,
Limpopo and Orange are South Africa based rivers. Stop the propaganda pls cos you don't even know the original
Re: Five Longest Rivers In Africa (Facts And Pictures) by Inishalom(m): 11:48am On Nov 17, 2021
There are still unresolved disparities of opinions on which River is actually longer, i.e between the Nile river of North Africa and the Amazon river of South America

Some of these you mentioned are creeks when compared to the list. Imagine river congo being the deepest in the world and river Nile being the longest in the world. This means Africa is truly endowned!
