The second in our series of conversations with people 75 years and over, this episode is a truly special one.
We meet two Agbaje sisters (82 and 91 years old) who have lived their best lives and lived to tell the tale. Mrs. Moulin Ashake Agbaje - Anozie and Ms. Wule Agbaje (the Agbajes) are special, and boy, do let us know it!
In this episode, we talk about:
- life as children of a millionaire in pre-independence Nigeria
- polygamy and family life
- la dolce vita in 50s England
- Cliff Richard (of all things)
- the Nigerian civil war
- counting your blessings
- above everything else, the Agbaje Oriki (poignant, deep, rich, incredibly moving)
and then, the joke - the side-splitting joke. This one requires Google Translate but absolutely worth the effort.
A moving, wistful tribute to an incredible generation.
