ichoku: Can you stop being tribalistic? Do they need to copy anyone to defend their rights? They were being oppressed by a thief called a king. And you could say is copy. Next time you are oppressed please don't do anything because you don't want to copy the first person that protested. Live your life with love and stop being tribalistic 10 Likes 1 Share |

ichoku:You'll have to check the next thread to find something to stroke your ego.LOL. While it can't be disputed that the Aba Women Riot(1929) occured before the Abeokuta Women Revolt(1947),the latter was inspired by tax-related uprisings in Egbaland that predate the Aba Women Riot. Check this timeline: Ijemo Massacre(1914),Adubi War(1918),& Abeokuta Women Revolt(1947). Capisce? |

Woman was hardcore. She even gave it to the Oyibo district officer who shouted at her to shut up your women. You may have been born but you were not bred. Can you speak to your mother like that? Sadly all we have left now is Femi and seun Kuti. 5 Likes |

oyb: Aunty Yeni is the closest to Fela and her grandma in character, she would have been a Fela if she were male, and if people weren't expecting egbon Femo to become something he is not -- a radical like Fela . . . his music is very good, but character is more like his mum, grand dad, or Olikoye like. |
