In 1851, Britain bombarded Lagos, deposed its Oba, and installed a puppet ruler — all under the banner of ending the slave trade. This episode unpacks the real motives behind the attack, the role of the Saro returnees from Brazil, the diplomacy of Oba Akitoye and his rival Kosoko, and how a single naval action set the stage for Lagos becoming a British colony a decade later. We explore why Britain chose Lagos over other slave ports, how the Saro community shaped the city's politics, and the lasting irony of a 'humanitarian' intervention that led directly to colonial rule. Featuring the Battle of Lagos, the role of Commodore Henry William Bruce, and the complex legacy of the Saro elite who both resisted and collaborated with British power. #Lagos #BombardmentOfLagos1851 #ObaAkitoye #ObaKosoko #Saro #BritishColonialism #SlaveTrade #WestAfrica #NigeriaHistory #RoyalNavy #CommodoreBruce #LagosColony #BattleOfLagos #Abolition #HumanitarianIntervention #ColonialHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
