Nigeria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria) is currently divided into 36 states and one federal capital territory. The states are further divided into 774 Local Government Areas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Government_Areas_of_Nigeria)
 Before and after independence in 1960 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960), Nigeria was a federation of three Regions: Northern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Region%2C_Nigeria), Western (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Region%2C_Nigeria), and Eastern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Region%2C_Nigeria). Provinces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Nigeria) were also used in colonial times (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_Nigeria). In 1963 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1963), two provinces were detached from the Western Region to form the new Mid-Western Region (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Western_Region_%28Nigeria%29). In 1967 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967), the regions were replaced by 12 states due to a military decree; only the former Mid-Western Region escaped division, and formed a single state following the restructuring. From 1967 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967) to 1970 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970) the areas of Mid-Western State and the Eastern Region attempted to secede, as Biafra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biafra). In 1976 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976), seven new states were created, making 19 altogether; the Federal Capital Territory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Capital_Territory%2C_Nigeria) (now called Abuja (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuja)) was established also. In 1987 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987) two new states were established, followed by another 9 in 1991 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991), bringing the total to 30. The latest change, in 1996 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996), resulted in the present number of 36 states.
