Because Europeans went over to Nigeria, they took the natives' property and enslaved them. Within the old feudal systems, when a person owned the land, many times he gave all of the slaves his last name. Since these persons usually had first names (or 'Christian' names) from their native languages and religions, they were "Christianized" by being given the names of their conquerers. Also, these slave owners considered their slaves property, so they raped many of the women, whose mixed children were given European names, as well. These lighter-skinned slaves worked in the house, because they weren't so "offensive" to look at.
