I welcome you all to the next episode of Skashanji's program. My name is Neil Dubob, you are amazing artist. We are remembering a remarkable Nigerian woman whose courage helped change the story of women and Nigeria itself. Her name was Fulmila Yor ran some cool tea. She was born on October 2519 OO in Abu Quta, and she grew up at the time when opportunities for African women were very, very limited. But for Mila Y'all believed that education could open doors. She became a teacher and devoted herself to educating both children and women. But as she listening to the struggles of ordinary women, she realized that education. alone was not enough. People also needed a voice and Fumila Yo was prepared to use her. So she became a powerful organizer of women in Abbe Okuta. Toh, women's union, thousands of women came together to challenge on 3,000 and political injustice during British colonial rules. This women in March protest, they presented petition and demanded to behave. To me, La Jaiyot did not simply tell women to complain about their problem. She helped them organize themselves and stand together. The stroke eventually contributed to major changes in the local political system, including the suspension of taxation on women and the abdication of of their lack of Abelguta in 1949. But for Milayor's vision went beyond Abilgata. She believed Nigerian women should have a voice in decision affecting their communities and their country. She became involved in Nigeria's nationalist movement and campaign for self-government and independence. She also traveled internationally, connecting the struggle of Nigerian women with wider movement for equality and freedom. Sadly, her story ended in tragedy. In 1977, soldiers attacked the family compound where her son Felar left. seriously injured. So she kicked the bucket in 1978 at the age of 77, but her voice did not join her. Today, for me, Your Ransom Kootty remains remembered as an educator, nationalist, women write advocacy, and fearless organizer who show that ordinary people can create extraordinary change when they stand together. Her story reminds us that one voice can inspire many voices. And when those voices stand together, they can become impossible to ignore. I remain your amazing artist, Neil Dubob, and see you in my next sketch. Bye.
