Deletion of Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria

Comment: This was the formal title given to the colony when Northern and Southern Nigeria were merged.  See http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=uyqepNdgUWkC&pg=PA457 here for example.  As this is a valid historical name for the place, it should not be a red link.  Merger into another article such as Nigeria is a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion, per our |editing policy
