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

Women of old are powerful

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.

slysteel:
Ripple effect of the aba women riots.

In a manner of speaking? Yes.
Factually?No.

Oyo lo wa, women of now, are only into make up and modelling .

You two should learn to do simple research before spewing rubbish..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adubi_War
http://dareolawin..com/2016/03/massacre-ijemo-people-deserve.html

Moreover, do not rubbish the contributions of those brave women (Either the Abeokuta or Aba uprisings or the taxation wars that pre-dated those two) with ethnic coloration or bigotry.. They do not deserve that nonsense!

seanswitch:
"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."

You are a very nice COPY N PASTE machine o!
