In this episode, Fola and Feyi discuss the powerful and storied Nupe kingdom in the Niger heartland. They also take a detour to Ilorin and Akassa and bring it all together to show how they were all conquered by a London Stock Exchange listed company, Royal Niger Company.
They also answer some very interesting questions from listeners about the Saro returnees and the history of pidgin English in Nigeria.
