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 Nigeriapolygamy and family lifela dolce vita in 50s EnglandCliff Richard (of all things)the Nigerian civil warcounting your blessingsabove 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.
