In this episode, Fola and Feyi talk about the books and papers they read and researched in writing Formation and some of the reasons why they chose those particular books. It's a bit of a long episode, so enjoy! 

In this season finale of the Formation Podcast, Feyi and Fola discuss how much of an impact World War I had on the new colonial creation of Nigeria, Lugard's predecessors and replacements and how modern day Nigerians might learn something from how the cobbled together country was governed.
