And speaking of Senegambia (except not really)....The short-lived French colony of Senegambia and Niger (1902-1904) was reorganized as Upper Senegal and Niger (1904-1921) and then as the colonies of Upper Volta, French Sudan, and Niger (Burkina Faso, the Republic of Mali, and the Republic of the Niger, respectively), all of which came under the governance of French West Africa. [And just to be clear, Senegambia and Niger did not include what would later become either Senegal or The Gambia, and bears no geographical resemblance to the short-lived Senegambia Confederation unifying the two.]
