In late 1929, thousands of Igbo and Ibibio women in southeastern Nigeria launched a massive protest against British colonial taxation and local warrant chiefs. This episode digs into the Women's War — known as Ogu Umunwanyi in Igbo — focusing on the specific grievances, the spark at Oloko, the spread across Calabar and Owerri provinces, and the brutal British response that left over 50 women dead. We follow figures like Nwanyeruwa, the woman whose confrontation with a warrant chief ignited the revolt, and examine how the women used traditional practices like sitting on a man to enforce their demands. The episode also explores the aftermath: how the protests forced the British to rethink indirect rule, yet how colonial historiography long dismissed the event as a riot. With context drawn from earlier episodes on Igbo society and colonial conquest, this is a story of women's political agency, economic justice, and anticolonial resistance that still resonates in Nigeria today. #AbaWomenWar #OguUmunwanyi #IgboWomen #NigeriaHistory #1929WomenRevolt #BritishColonialism #Nwanyeruwa #SittingOnAMan #WarrantChiefs #Calabar #Owerri #IndirectRule #AnticolonialResistance #WomenRights #ColonialTaxation #FexingoHistory #WestAfrica #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
