How Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti Sacked The Alake Of Egbaland In 1949 by Suurulere(m): 4:44pm On Aug 31, 2016 |
On January 3, 1949, Oba Samuel Ladapo Ademola (1872-1962) the 7th Alake of Egbaland (1920-1962), abdicated the throne due to a strife with Egba women, led by Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (1900-1978) and her sister-in-law, Eniola Soyinka, mother of Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka (b. 1934) , on the issue of tax. The women were made to pay heavy taxes and were also maltreated. http://www.historyvilleng.com/2016/08/22/how-funmilayo-ransome-kuti-sacked-the-alake-of-egbaland-in-1949/ 5 Likes 8 Shares

That's real activism, it's not a game for the fearful, if only you know the mystical and traditional powers kings wielded in those days, you'll know it's not a kids play for them to be openly challenged such way. There's one thing about the Kutis and Soyinka's family line, their early access to western education stood them out. Abeokuta is the cradle of education in Nigeria, it's therefore no brainer the personalities they've produced. 25 Likes 2 Shares |

In addition, during the era of the cold war, prior to the independence of Nigeria, she provoked the fury of the british colonialist with her perceived pro-communist stance. She had extensive contact with the Eastern Bloc and she often traveled to countries such as: USSR, Hungary and China. It was on one of such travels that she met with Mao Zedong, the father of modern day China. Her meeting with Chairman Mao infuriated the British so much that they had to confiscate her passport and travel documents 12 Likes |

This is really commendable. Greatness runs through our veins in Nigeria. But unfortunately we are allowing ethinic,tribal and religious sentiment to tear us apart. Let's live beyond Hausa,yoruba and Ibo. Because we are first Nigerians before any other. 7 Likes |

"The first major demonstration held on November 29 and 30, 1947. Many women took part. As they neared the Alake’s palace, she commanded the marchers to stop, closed her eyes and told them that all those who were afraid should leave while her eyes were closed. None withdrew. They maintained vigil during which they sang abusive songs." 21 Likes 2 Shares |
