Nigeria's Independence Movement & Coup Era w/ Max Siollun (AR&D Ep. 13)

In this continuation of our African Revolutions and Decolonization series, we bring back Max Siollun, whom you will remember from our episode Precolonial Nigeria from a few months ago. This time, we look at the Independence Movement in Nigeria, and then look at the post-colonial era with a particular focus on the Coup Era from the mid-60's through mid-80's. A fascinating history, and one which we hope you will find useful! Be sure to stay tuned for further episodes of the series! Max Siollun is a historian. He has written several acclaimed books on Nigeria's history, including What Britain Did to Nigeria: A Short History of Conquest and Rule , which was shortlisted in BBC History Magazine 's 2021 Books of the Year, and The Forgotten Era: Nigeria Before British Rule .
