Alphabetical list of Nigerian post offices to 1980 and beyond This list includes all the post office names mentioned in Proud and in Jones Ed2. It also includes: 1. Additional offices seen by the author, Paul Redhead, and described in his detailed cancellation lists. 2. Additional offices reported by other collectors or mentioned in the update notes made by Neville Jones after Jones Ed2 was published. 3. Additional offices for which cancels have not been reported, but which are mentioned in lists supplied by the Nigerian postal authorities giving the names of offices extant in 1949, 1963, 1973. Those lists are held in the WASC library. Also mentioned is an 88 list. This was published by NIPOST in 1988 and is helpful in placing post 1980 offices. The author will be happy to email a copy on request (6MB+ .pdf file). The three columns under Notes refer to three lists mentioned in 3 above, which give the names of Post Offices, Branch Offices, Sub Offices and agencies (PO, BO, SO, PA) extant in that year. For PA, SO main Post Town is given in Notes, as 'Under X' unless given in other name for office. The Open Column gives an opening date if known. Dates in () or prefaced with ‘By’ are generally taken from dates of known cancels. Post Independence opening dates are thanks to Michael Wright’s researches in the Nigerian Gazettes between 1960 and 1975. Unless necessary for clarity, I’ve removed explicit reference to ‘not in P or J, no cancels seen’ because that is what the Violet colour coding of an office name implies 1. Name variants / alternative spellings: I've included either as LH column name or in the Notes coulumn all the name variants shown / see on cancels. In some cases there are several.... Where it helps I've put 'See... ' in Notes to point to main entry for that place. 2. Typos: Where it is clear that a name from a source is actually a typo I have indicated that. However, there are bound to be 'offices' in this list which are a miss-spelt but undetected name for another office. 3. Use of ↑: An in the Notes column signifies that I think this is the same office as one a line or two above it in the list. 'Same office' may reflect name change, spelling variant, typo or, most often. the inclusion of the controlling post office in the name of a postal agency. Controlling office change (eg Uromi for Ubiaja) may be shown in a new canceller for the office. 4. Inclusion of offices which became part of Cameroon Republic. I've followed Jones in not including offices which became Cameroon Republic in 1961, even if they earlier issued stamps which give 'Nigeria' as country. Victoria, Bafut, Bakebe, Bali, Bamenda, Buea, Kumba, Ossidinge / Mamfe, Manyemen, Mbengwi, Mbonge, Muea, Muyuka, Ndian, Ndop, Ndu, Nkambe, Nsaw, Nyasoso, Santa, Tiko, Tinto, Tombel, Wum. Oddly several of these are included in the 1963 post offices list (Manyemen, Ndian, Nkambe), 5. Colour coding of names: Brown shows office for which a cancel has been seen (by Proud, Jones, or me) dated 30

Alphabetical list of Nigerian post offices to 1980 and beyond

This list includes all the post office names mentioned in Proud and in Jones Ed2. It also includes:

1. Additional offices seen by the author, Paul Redhead, and described in his detailed cancellation lists.2. Additional offices reported by other collectors or mentioned in the update notes made by Neville Jones after Jones Ed2 was published.3. Additional offices for which cancels have not been reported, but which are mentioned in lists supplied by the Nigerian postal authorities giving the names of

offices extant in 1949, 1963, 1973. Those lists are held in the WASC library. Also mentioned is an 88 list. This was published by NIPOST in 1988 and is helpful in placing post 1980 offices. The author will be happy to email a copy on request (6MB+ .pdf file).

The three columns under Notes refer to three lists mentioned in 3 above, which give the names of Post Offices, Branch Offices, Sub Offices and agencies (PO, BO, SO, PA) extant in that year. For PA, SO main Post Town is given in Notes, as 'Under X' unless given in other name for office.

The Open Column gives an opening date if known. Dates in () or prefaced with ‘By’ are generally taken from dates of known cancels. Post Independence opening dates are thanks to Michael Wright’s researches in the Nigerian Gazettes between 1960 and 1975. Unless necessary for clarity, I’ve removed explicit reference to ‘not in P or J, no cancels seen’ because that is what the Violet colour coding of an office name implies

1. Name variants / alternative spellings: I've included either as LH column name or in the Notes coulumn all the name variants shown / see on cancels. In some cases there are several.... Where it helps I've put 'See... ' in Notes to point to main entry for that place.

2. Typos: Where it is clear that a name from a source is actually a typo I have indicated that. However, there are bound to be 'offices' in this list which are a miss-spelt but undetected name for another office.

3. Use of ↑: An ↑ in the Notes column signifies that I think this is the same office as one a line or two above it in the list. 'Same office' may reflect name change, spelling variant, typo or, most often. the inclusion of the controlling post office in the name of a postal agency. Controlling office change (eg Uromi for Ubiaja) may be shown in a new canceller for the office.

4. Inclusion of offices which became part of Cameroon Republic. I've followed Jones in not including offices which became Cameroon Republic in 1961, even if they earlier issued stamps which give 'Nigeria' as country. Victoria, Bafut, Bakebe, Bali, Bamenda, Buea, Kumba, Ossidinge / Mamfe, Manyemen, Mbengwi, Mbonge, Muea, Muyuka, Ndian, Ndop, Ndu, Nkambe, Nsaw, Nyasoso, Santa, Tiko, Tinto, Tombel, Wum. Oddly several of these are included in the 1963 post offices list (Manyemen, Ndian, Nkambe),

5. Colour coding of names: Brown shows office for which a cancel has been seen (by Proud, Jones, or me) dated 30 September 1960 or earlier (ie pre-independence). Green shows first recorded use 1 October 1960 up to the end of 1980 (ie the latest date covered in Jones). Violet shows that the name has been recorded but has not been seen on a 'live' cancel (as opposed to an impression book record of a canceller sent but perhaps not issued). The rest of the entry row should show where the record of the name was taken from for this list. For convenience I've published a separate list of all these 'known unknowns'. Yellow indicates an office for which no cancels pre 1981 have been seen.

6. The Notes: I have attempted to give a location for each office based on information gleaned from Proud, NIPOST lists (see separate document), online gazetteers and maps, and Google.
