Ok, I know that there's a difference between Niger and Nigeria. I also know that if I wanted to refer to something that was about or came from Nigeria, it would be "Nigerian". What's the proper term for something that is about or comes from Niger? I've been wanting to use something other than "The documents from Niger" or "The Niger forgeries", but the only word that comes to mind is Nigerian, and that's not the right one. Any suggestions?

Thank you, Kriselda. :)
Hmm, I should get a blog entry out of this question. Hehe.

The CIA World factbook contains answers to such questions:
noun: Nigerien(s)
adjective: Nigerien
You haven't heard it before either? So the right answer is "Nigerien" refers to thing and people from Niger, but a google search reveals it is rather rarely used.
