Ymblanter suggests sockpuppetry by me. On the contrary, I have an interest in Nigerian history. It is erroneous to imply causation between the abolishment of slavery in Lagos with the decline in Benin. Britain invaded Lagos in 1851, see Reduction of Lagos. As a consequence, the Treaty Between Great Britain and Lagos, 1 January 1852 was signed effectively outlawing slavery in Lagos and related regions (including Benin). Benin was conquered by Britain in 1897, see Benin Expedition of 1897. Therefore drawing causation between an event that took place in 1851 and another event that took place in 1897 is false.

I just find it strange that a user with three edits makes an edit, and then you show up and restore the same edit. Also, the fact that you do not that the talk page discussions start at the bottom, and how to sign, does not help much. However, thanks for starting the discussion. The text in the article is not mine, but I think the original idea was that the abolishment of slavery in the British Empire (not in the Edo Empire - note that your edit has removed the link from the article) was the reason.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:09, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well Lagos became a part of the British empire in 1861 with Lagos' annexation. It is a huge stretch to say that the abolishing of slavery in the British Empire (in 1807) led to the fall of Benin in 1897 Kunkuru (talk) 16:23, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good, I see indeed that Benin Empire tells the story differently. Let us keep your version.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:42, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you sir/madam :-) Kunkuru (talk) 16:43, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There was never a thing such as "Nigerian Nationalism". Nationalism in Nigeria was entirely a contraption of the South.

Maybe there is a more accurate term, but that is the term the relevant literature uses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.255.3.167 (talk) 16:48, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This Entire article is a polemic against the North. further more the author keeps on giving us he's/her's opinion without any sort of citations. I suggest the entire article be overhauled.

The section "Influence of the Christian Missions" (and possible more) is a direct copy from the site [1]. I'm not sure how it should be formatted, but at the moment, the formatting makes it look like original research (which it isn't).

This is part of Helen Chapin Metz, ed. Nigeria: A Country Study, Washington: GPO for the Library of Congress, 1991. While such country studies are available for use, as they are in the public domain as a government-prepared document, I would agree with you that it should be credited.

The whole "(Note: All of this section to this point is from" bullshit should be fixed. First of all this belongs in the footnotes, plus missing parenthesis. Also, needs more sources. 2A00:1028:9197:48F6:443B:32DB:5C06:458A (talk) 10:19, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Colonial Nigeria seems to be describing the general colonial history of Nigeria. But standalone articles about Nigeria's colonial history exist (such as Southern Nigeria Protectorate, Northern Nigeria Protectorate, and Federation of Nigeria). So why is there no standalone article for Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria, the historical period when Nigeria was first amalgamated? Helioz9 (talk) 19:29, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
