Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.
Reason for the nomination:
Several books have been showing up on the English Wikisource labeled as {{PD-Nigeria}} on Commons, but these works are often not anonymous and published after 1955 and sometimes not even published in Nigeria. Nigeria has a generally life+70 rule (with 50 years from publication for collective works, so I left most of the newspapers alone, and 70 years for government works). I eyeballed it, given the number of files and lack of proper date or author in the description, and stuck to the books.
