Southern Nigeria was a British protectorate in the coastal areas of modern-day Nigeria, formed in 1900 from union of the Niger Coast Protectorate with territories chartered by the Royal Niger Company below Lokoja on the Niger River. The colony around Lagos was added in 1906, and the territory was officially renamed the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. In 1914, Southern Nigeria was joined with Northern Nigeria to form the single colony of Nigeria.

  • Southern Nigeria was a British protectorate in the coastal areas of modern-day Nigeria, formed in 1900 from union of the Niger Coast Protectorate with territories chartered by the Royal Niger Company below Lokoja on the Niger River. The colony around Lagos was added in 1906, and the territory was officially renamed the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. In 1914, Southern Nigeria was joined with Northern Nigeria to form the single colony of Nigeria. The unification was done for economic reasons rather than political — Northern Nigeria had a budget deficit; and the colonial administration sought to use the budget surpluses in Southern Nigeria to offset this deficit .
  • Das Protektorat Südnigeria (engl. Southern Nigeria Protectorate) war von 1900 bis 1914 ein britisches Protektorat in Westafrika. Zusammen mit dem Protektorat Nordnigeria bildete es die Grundlage der ehemaligen Kolonie Nigeria. Das Protektorat Südnigeria wurde 1900 aus dem Protektorat Nigerküste und Territorien der Handelsgesellschaft Royal Niger Company gebildet. Am 16. Februar 1906 wurde die Kronkolonie Lagos an das Protektorat angeschlossen, das in „Kolonie und Protektorat Südnigeria“ (engl. Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria) umbenannt wurde. 1914 vereinigte sich das Protektorat Südnigeria mit dem Protektorat Nordnigeria zu einer einzigen Kolonie, deren Gebiete jedoch de facto bis 1946 getrennt verwaltet wurden. Südnigeria wurde bis 1906 von einem Hochkommissar verwaltet, danach von einem Gouverneur. Hochkommissare waren 1900–1904 Sir Ralph Denham Rayment Moor, der 1900 von Henry Gallwey vertreten wurde, und 1904–1906 Sir Walter Egerton. Gouverneure waren 1906–1912 wiederum Walter Egerton, der 1907 von James Thorburn vertreten wurde, und 1912–1914 Sir Frederick Lugard, der gleichzeitig auch das Amt des Gouverneurs von Nordnigeria innehatte.
  • Sul da Nigéria foi um protetorado britânico nas zonas costeiras da Nigéria dos dias atuais, formado em 1900 a partir da união de Protetorado Costa do Níger com territórios fretados pela Royal Niger Company em Lokoja abaixo no Rio Níger. A colônia em volta de Lagos foi adicionada em 1906, e o território foi rebatizado oficialmente a Colônia e Protetorado do Sul da Nigéria. Em 1914, Sul da Nigéria se juntou com o Norte da Nigéria para formar a única colônia da Nigéria. A unificação foi feita por razões econômicas, em vez de políticas — a Norte da Nigéria teve um déficit de orçamento; e a administração colonial procurou usar os excessos de orçamento no Sul da Nigéria para compensar este déficit.
