when did nigeria became a colony of britain?
1914
nigeria has been home to a number of ancient and indigenous kingdoms and states over the millennia. the modern state originated from british colonial rule beginning in the 19th century, and took its present territorial shape with the merging of the southern nigeria protectorate and northern nigeria protectorate in 1914. the british set up administrative and legal structures while practising indirect rule through traditional chiefdoms. nigeria became a formally independent federation in 1960. it experienced a civil war from 1967 to 1970. it thereafter alternated between democratically elected civilian governments and military dictatorships until it achieved a stable democracy in 1999, with the 2011 presidential election considered the first to be reasonably free and fair.
