Description
A bold re-examination of Nigeria's colonial past, challenging the traditional narrative of a benevolent civilising mission. Max Siollun presents a stark alternative, revealing the darker side of colonial rule, where violence, exploitation, and cultural manipulation were used to maintain control. This unromanticised history sheds light on the lasting impact of British rule on Nigeria, and the ongoing struggles that continue to shape the country today.
