Discuss this article by @Gary Oswald here
Good to see this series return after over a year.
BTW, no offense and I have pointed this out before, but when an article is by yourself, why do you say "by @Gary Oswald" instead of "by myself"?Haha, yeah. It's been far too long. Luckily I already have the next couple finished so the next gap shouldn't be quite as long.
Mind the article I am currently writing is one I am very nervous about because it's about the Kat River Experiment, which I suspect @Sulemain knows much more about than I do and is going to call me on a lot of stuff.

Would be interesting to see if there are parallels that can be drawn with Libreville and Gabon.
The Lebanese were also an important middleman minority in French-colonized Africa.The effects on the interior of this new tax led to the arrival of Lebanese traders in the 1890s.
I would love it if a French speaker who knew the time period joined the forum and contributed. Because they'd be able to answer questions like this and I can't.
My knowledge of the history of French Speaking Africa (Dahomey aside) is just so small compared to English Speaking Africa. I will try and cover some of that history on this, as I already have, but it's going to be far more basic than the coverage of the British Empire, simply because I can't read most of the primary and secondary sources.
very interesting how the freetown /sierra leone also applied to Lagos vs the rest of Nigeria together with Cape Coast /Gold coast. they were basically footholds to advance into the hinterland. The Gambia was the failed one due to the French interests there. Lovely to see you back always enjoyed it. Also the prominence of the Krio people continued till at least the 30s in lagos together with the portugese returnees. still very prominent because of the 1st mover advantage in education
