On January 3, 1949, Oba Samuel Ladapo Ademola, the 7th Alake of Egbaland, Abeokuta, abdicated the throne due to strife with Egba women, in a protest led by Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti on the issue of tax.
The women were made to pay heavy taxes and were also allegedly maltreated.
After days, months, and years of protest, the Alake, who was seen as a stooge of the British colonial masters, was removed and forced out of his palace at Ake and exiled to Ogbomoso (other records say Osogbo) where he stayed until December 1950.
The intrigues, thrills, and frills of this event are the focus of this video. #HistoryVille #FunmilayoRansomeKuti
