1876 CE to 1887 CE

Colonial Lagos is a busy, cosmopolitan port, reflecting Victorian and distinctively Brazilian architecture and the varied backgrounds of a black elite, composed of English-speakers from Sierra Leone and of emancipated slaves repatriated from Brazil and Cuba.

Its residents are employed in official capacities and are active in business.

Africans also are represented on the Lagos Legislative Council, a largely appointed assembly.
