  • People: Part I

    At *The Facade Nigeria*, one of our goals is to shine a light on individuals from Colonial Lagos. In October 2021, we launched a series on Instagram (instagram.com/thefacadenigeria) focused on Memorials. This series captured the sorrowful, yet sometimes hopeful, words of family members remembering loved ones who had passed, with the hope of resurrection.


    In this new series, we are diving deeper into the lives of more individuals, offering insights into their time on earth and their roles in Colonial Lagos.


    In this episode, we explore the lives of Anna Sophia Williams, Emily Blaize, Cornelius Bartholomew Moore, Richard Zacchaeus Bailey, G. J. Cole, and Daniel Akitoye.


    Don't forget to share our podcast with family and friends! See you in the next episode.
