'Incredibly necessary, magnificently done, Siollun charts the characters and events that shaped the lives of those who inhabited Nigeria's territories centuries before colonisation' - Remi Adekoya, author of It's Not About Whiteness, It's About Wealth'Without a doubt, Max Siollun is the best Nigeria-focused historian of our times' - Matthew T. Page, former U.
S. State Department Nigeria expert'Max Siollun accomplishes what few dare to attempt - a revival of a time when the region now known as Nigeria was alive with vibrant kingdoms, city-states, and complex social dynamics long before European colonisers imposed their narratives' - Gimba Kakanda, writer and researcher'There is no more eloquent and informed guide than Max Siollun' - Sathnam Sanghera, author of EmpirelandMuch is known about what Europeans did in Africa, yet very little is known about Africa's history before its colonisation. In this surprising exploration, Max Siollun uncovers societies that were not part of a backwards 'Dark Continent', but which instead had rich lore to rival the ancient Greeks and Romans.
