The Adubi War,Abeokuta

THE ADUBI WAR

The Adubi war, also known as “Ogun Adubi” and
sometimes reffered to as the Egba Uprising , was a war that took place between June and August, 1918 as a result of the taxation system introduced by the British colonial government in Abeokuta , the present capital of Ogun State, Nigeria.
More than thirty thousand (30,000) Egba fighters picked up arms and went to war against the colonial government officials in Abeokuta, destroying many railway and telegraph lines in the southern part of Abeokuta. An European trading agent and a high Egba chief were killed in the war.
The war was mainly caused by the introduction of the direct taxation system on the Egba people, and also the cancellation of Abeokuta’s independence in the
year 1918.

Use it as a music player pocket: It’s great to hold a small ipod or mp3 player. Use it as a comb pocket: You can fit a small comb in there for any hair emergencies. Use it as a floss pocket: A small pack of floss can fit in there for spinach-in-teeth emergencies. Alternat...
