@Number 57: I'm guessing the date in the first sentence ("General elections were held in Nigeria on 21 October 1938") was a cut-and-paste error? Do you know what the actual date of this election was? I'm not finding anything from a quick online search, so perhaps you can remember where you got this information from originally? --Oravrattas (talk) 06:54, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Oravrattas: Yes, my bad – thanks for spotting it. I presume the date is in the Tamuno or Wheare sources, which I got from the British Library. I've ordered both works and will check them in the next few days. In the meantime, I've changed the date to just 1947. Number57 09:33, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not in the Tamuno source. Awaiting the Wheare one. Number57 23:46, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
