Jihadist to the north and their new recruits in Yoruba land made yorubas sign themselves to slavery.


It must be noted that the British military expedition and subsequent colonisation began on yoruba soil from where they got a foothold to spread in land.

ANOTHER MAKE ME FEEL GOOD JUNK TO MASK YOUR INFERIORITY COMPLEX




Here's what Harold Smith, one of the colonial officers the British Government sent to rig Nigeria’s pre-independence elections in favour of the North, had to say about Yorubas and Awolowo resistance to British rule, FROM THE HORSE'S OWN MOUTH:

"But the British were not treated as gods by the Yoruba. In my experience, the Yoruba regarded themselves as superior to the British and one only had to read a book written by Awolowo, the Western leader, to know why. The Yoruba were often highly intelligent and they taunted the British with sending inferior people to Nigeria. The Igbo would be humble and avert his eyes in the presence of a European. The Yoruba child would look at an important European and shout, ‘Hello, white man,’ as if he were a freak.”

Awolowo in the West had taunted the British by claiming that his government had accomplished more in the space of two or three years for his people than the British had since they arrived in West Africa.”

“The thrust of the British Government’s policy was against the Action Group led by Chief Awolowo, which ruled in the Western Region. Not only was the British Government working hand in glove with the North, which was a puppet state favoured and controlled by the British administration, but it was colluding through Okotie-Eboh with Dr. Azikiwe – Zik – the leader of the largely Igbo NCNC, which ruled in the East. We tricked Azikiwe into accepting to be president having known that Balewa will be the main man with power. Awolowo has to go to jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater Nigeria

An excerpt from the book Black Critics and Kings: The Hermeneutics of Power in Yoruba Society
By Andrew Apter


"As far as it is possible for one race to be characteristically like another from which it differs in every physical aspect, the Yorubas it has been noted are not unlike the English in many of the traits and characteristics. it would appear that what the one is among the whites, the other is among the blacks. love of independence,a feeling of superiority over all others,a keen commercial spirit and of indefatigable enterprise,that quality of never being able to admit or consent to defeat are some of the qualities peculiar to them, and no matter under what circumstances they are placed,the Yorubas will display them(ibid.,xxii)

The official christian or white reading is still clear Yorubas are to other Africans what the english are among Europeans at the top of the hierarchy of nations by virtue of shared traits and characteristics. The inferiority of blacks to white, however is implicitly assumed. Oris it? On the point, a deeper reading asserts something else. Yorubas, like the English,they feel superior to all others, enterprising and above all will never consent to defeat no matter under what circumstances they are placed. When these circumstances include British overule,The yorubas will protect their independence feel superior and never accept defeat


ABEOKUTA WOMEN REVOLT
Abeokuta Women's Revolt led by the Abeokuta Women’s Union (AWU), took place in the 1940s. It was a resistance movement against the imposition of unfair taxation by the Nigerian colonial government


ADUBI WAR
The Adubi War, known locally as Ogun Adubi, or Egba Uprising was a conflict that occurred in June-August 1918 in Colonial Nigeria as a result of taxation introduced by the colonial government. The war consisted of thirty thousand Egba fighters destroying much of the railway and telegraphs lines south of Abeokuta along with the killing of a European trading agent and a high-ranking Egba chief. The incident was the culmination of the abrogation of Abeokuta's independence in 1918, and the introduction of direct taxation and forced labor in the region. British soldiers who fought in the war received the Africa General Service Medal.

TRIUMVIRATO SUGAR MILL REVOLT
Carlota Lukumí is a Yoruba woman who led a rebellion alongside a woman named fermina. Femina was locked up after her plans for the rebellion were discovered. Using talking drums to secretly communicate, Carlota and her fellow warriors freed Fermina and dozens of others. They both led an organized well orchestrated armed attacks at triumvarato sugar plantation in Cuba against five plantation operations. There is a monument in Cuba at the Triumvirato Sugar Mill in her memory.

THE MALE REVOLT
The male revolt is the most significant slave rebellion in Brazil. On a Sunday during Ramadan in January 1835, in the city of Salvador da Bahia, a small group of black slaves and freedmen, inspired by Muslim teachers, rose up against the government. Muslims were called malê in Bahia at this time, from Yoruba imale that designated a Yoruba Muslim.Many consider this rebellion to be the turning point of slavery in Brazil
