The Day Nigerian Women Shocked the British Army

British officers expected a routine show of force. What they faced instead caught them completely off guard. Thousands of Nigerian women organized, mobilized, and confronted colonial authority with a level of discipline and unity the British army had not prepared for.

This episode tells the story of how Nigerian women used strategy, numbers, and cultural resistance to force armed soldiers to retreat. You’ll see how protest became pressure, how traditional power structures were turned into weapons, and why colonial officials quickly realized this was not a movement they could intimidate.

We break down the events that led to the confrontation, the tactics the women used, and the moment British command understood they had lost control of the situation. This was not chaos. It was organized resistance.

If you think power only comes from weapons, this story will change how you see history.
