I just hope it’s not a first woman to drive car biopic. Please they were seizing her passport and denying her visas because of her, as Tafawa Balewa put it, “communist sympathies”
She went to China and was met personally by Chairman Mao. She won the Lenin Peace prize.
This woman decided to throw membership of the Abeokuta Women’s Union open to market women and other poor women. She taught them how to fight colonial police.
Please let it not be a first woman to drive car biopic. She is a Nigerian leftist hero and she means so much to us. 😭😭
A star of the pro-communist, anti-colonial Women’s International Democratic Foundation which included the Federation of Nigerian Women’s Societies, which she founded. Headquartered in East Germany, the WIDF paid for her to travel and campaign for women’s rights across the globe.
She was assassinated by the government in her son’s home. They threw her from the window of a storey building & died later of her injuries and imma be so passed if this movie turns out to be a celebration of the aesthetics of her person without engaging w the struggle she waged.
I’m glad so many people agree. I’m still optimistic.
Pls consider donating to help a man who has lived w HIV for 24yrs, manage his health challenges that threatening his ability to keep his viral load undetectable (his health has so deteriorated he’s lost his business & home).
