On this week's episode, we break down the Aba Women’s Riot Uprising of 1929, from colonial indirect rule to the powerful tactics women used to challenge oppression and connect it to modern movements like #EndSARS. We also spend a lot of the episode talking about “sitting on a man” (don’t worry, it’s not what you think lol)… and by the end, you might just feel inspired to join our movement yourself.

To unpack the story and the powerful themes behind it, we’re joined by two incredible guests, Nollywood veteran Bob-Manuel Udokwu, who plays Adaego’s father, and rising star Chisom Agoawuike, who brings Adaego to life.
