Aba Women Uprising Of 1929, And Not "Aba Women Riot" by Elbinawi: 10:36am On Feb 11, 2022 |
Most Nigerians have never heard the name Nnete Okorie-Egbe. This famous woman led the popular Aba Women Uprising of 1929 against the excessive colonial taxation in Aba by the greedy British colonialists. And she was then 63 years old. She died at 102 in 1968. The British colonialists branded that famous uprising as "Aba Women Riot" to demonize the popular uprising. Unfortunately, This is what is taught in our compromised history books. It was never a riot, it was a popular uprising. No single National monument has been named after this Heroin for Justice. And no statue for that famous uprising. Very unfortunate! Dear Heroin, continue to rest in peace! We your children will walk your path.....#RIP #ElbinawiTweets 3 Likes |

I have been saying exactly this thing but no one cares to listen. The british called it Aba women riot to justify the heavy handedness they employed against our mothers. It was a simple protest..done with palm leaves and songs...how was that a riot ?.did they kill anybody, did they destroy any property ?....the british military officers started shooting and killing our defenseless mothers because they refused to go home insisting their demands must be met first . 2 Likes |
