The History of Nigeria: Kingdoms, Colonies, and Africa's Giant — Fexingo History

From the ancient Nok culture to the rise of the Oyo Empire, the transatlantic slave trade, and the creation of modern Nigeria under British colonial rule, this show charts the turbulent history of West Africa's most populous nation. Join Lucas and Luna as they explore the kingdoms of Benin, Hausa city-states, the Sokoto Caliphate, and the Igbo societies that shaped the region. They'll dissect the Berlin Conference of 1884, the amalgamation of 1914, the Biafran War, and the long shadows of independence leaders like Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, and Ahmadu Bello. Through episodes on the Niger Delta's oil politics, the Afrobeat rebellion of Fela Kuti, and the resurgence of Nollywood, this series asks how Nigeria's past explains its present as Africa's sleeping giant—and whether it will ever fully awaken. #NigeriaHistory #BeninKingdom #OyoEmpire #NokCulture #SokotoCaliphate #TransatlanticSlaveTrade #BerlinConference #Amalgamation1914 #BiafranWar #NnamdiAzikiwe #ObafemiAwolowo #AhmaduBello #NigerDelta #Afrobeat #FelaKuti #Nollywood #History #FexingoHistoryBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-nigeria-kingdoms-colonies-and-africa-s-giant-fexingo-history--6985098/support.
