Brief History. Five hundred years before Christ, there arose in central Nigeria a culture that was among the most advanced and richest of the ancient world and it stretched from Africa to Europe and the Middle East. Portugal was the first European power to establish trading stations in the 1400s, but control was taken over by Britain shortly. The tide changed after Britain abolished slavery and sought to eliminate slave trading. In 1861, Nigeria was made a British colony and in 1906, land east of the Niger River was incorporated into the colony. Slowly, Britain began to prepare the country for self-rule and in 1999, the first popularly-elected president in 16 years came into office.
