@beyond.naija: Do you know the Nigerian woman who helped force a king from his throne? 🇳🇬 Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was a fearless activist, women’s rights leader, and the mother of Fela Kuti. In 1946, she led thousands of women in Abeokuta against unfair taxation and the abuse of market women. Their resistance lasted for years, eventually forcing the Alake to abdicate in 1949 and helping abolish the tax. But her story didn’t end there. Decades later, at 76, she was thrown from a second-floor window during the military raid on Fela’s Kalakuta Republic. She died from her injuries in 1978. She fought for women’s freedom and paid the ultimate price for standing up to power. #BeyondNaija #FunmilayoRansomeKuti #NigerianHistory #NigeriaHistory #AfricanHistory #NigerianWomen #WomenInHistory #FelaKuti #Abeokuta #YorubaHistory #NaijaHistory

Olufunmilayo Ransome Kuti❤️An amazon indeed.. My late Mom also participated alongside my grandmother as a teenager in the great egba women"s revolt that drove the Alake out of his palace in 1949❤️

So sad that when you ask children even adults that “who is Funmilayo Kuti?” They’ll tell you she’s the first woman to drive a car, so sad.
