From this route they came
Women of vision� prides to behold�
Freedom fighter who mobilized to resist
That act of tax the colonial master bestowed
From here they came
The route of the river they follow
That history would bear them witness.
Stories of their conqueror
Are now told centuries there after
Women who fought the Ikot Abasi women riot
But see how history seeks to place them wrong
Didn�t they say it is Aba woman riot?
But where was it fought?
Come to Ikot Abasi
Ask of the Independence Park
For there you would see the Obelist
For the victims of the women�s war of 1929.
