This was the First Woman to drive A Car in Nigeria... "Mrs Funmilayo Ransome Kuti(Fella's Mother)"...

Well educated with a colonial education and a Christian background, she was radicalized through the actions of the British occupation of Nigeria: its racism, sexism and economic violence. Ransome-Kuti received the national honor of membership in the Order of Nigeria in 1965. The University of Ibadan bestowed upon her the honorary doctorate of laws in 1968. She also held a seat in the Western House of Chiefs of Nigeria as an oloye of the Yoruba people.
Traditionally, Yoruba society was divided into male and female administrative sections. Although men in Nigeria held the position of clan chiefs, women had traditionally held political authority which was shared with men, particularly concentrated in areas of trade. With the coming of formal colonial rule through the Berlin Conference of 1884, the British authorities occupying Nigeria restructured the governance of the society: establishing the position of “Warrant Chiefs” as middle men to act between the traditional authorities and those of the colonizers, elevating the traditional and largely symbolic position of clan chief to a political power broker and created the Sole Native Authority, to which only the men holding local political power were admitted.

#70 note

The woman set record in order news APC everywhere you go, don't be left out join the train of CHANGE.
#ihavedecided.

She was a great icon indeed. She was An amazon, a rare gem, an epitome of greatness, an intrepid explorer of great values, a colossus who stood her ground against a gender discriminating society of her time.


Ladies of today should emulate and imitate her likes.
Not lusting after sugar daddies 'aristos'.

That to me is history, let's face current challenges.

Ok
