Formation by Fola Fagbule
The Making of Nigeria from Jihad to Amalgamation
A brisk, accessible history of Nigeria’s origins from the early nineteenth century to the 1914 amalgamation, tracing how jihad, commerce, missionary zeal, and British imperial ambition intertwined with the actions of African rulers and merchants to reshape states, shift the economy from the slave trade to palm produce, and knit diverse polities into a single colony, challenging myths with clear-eyed analysis of power, violence, and pragmatism.
