Indigenes of Lagos are called Lagosians Indigenes of Delta state - Deltans From Bayelsa - Bayelsan From Kogi - Kogites From Kwara - Kwarans From Abia - Abians Akwa Ibom - Akwa Ibomites etc But how do you call people from Adamawa? Is it Adamawians? Same goes for Benue, Enugu, Edo Bauchi, Kano, Katsina and a host of others. |

Not every place has an easy demonym. I guess its what ever fits. |

The thing is that demonyms are not always created in the same way. There are some demonyms that might seem unusual. For example: A person from England is English, a person from Finland is Finnish, but a person from The Netherlands is Dutch. 5 Likes 3 Shares |
