March 1959 - The Strange Case Of Mrs Ransome-Kuti And The Alake Of Abeokuta The Alakes whims, needs and desires are looked after by obedient household, well trained attendants. At first, the Alake didnt take the fiery, crusading Mrs. Ransome-Kuti seriously. When he did, she had a clamouring bunch of women behind her, asking for more rights. So the Alake, rather than hit a woman, decided to abdicate. A year later he was back, and the boisterous battle was on again. (Photograph by Matthew Faji BAHA)
