In this episode, Fola and Feyi discuss the Mad Men and the Missionaries from Europe who entered pre-colonial Nigeria with their own ambitious agenda, altering the history of the future country in the process. The authors also introduce the idea of what they call the "Clapham Sect Era", as a distinct period of economic transformation in Nigeria's pre-colonial history, and talk about what lessons they think this era holds for modern Nigeria.
