In the present day Nigeria’s political system is extra fiercely contested than ever with some militants making an attempt to interrupt up the federation – to what extent do these schisms have their roots within the excessive violence of Britain’s business exploitation of the territory and its colonial conquest ?
To sort out this query, Speaking Africa podcast speaks to Max Siollun, writer of What Britain Did To Nigeria; Barnaby Phillips, writer of Loot : Britain and the Benin Bronzes , and Funmi Adebayo, an economist and writer of the Black Monologues podcast sequence.
This week’s Speaking Africa is mediated by Patrick Smith.
