Overview
Mma Udoma, a historical play written by Charles Ukpong is a treatise on the 1929 Women's revolt in Colonial Eastern Nigeria, in which the author sets out to correct the myth that the women's war of 1929 started in Aba. This is not only erroneous but misleading. Led by their iron-clad leader, Adiaha Edem Udoma, women nationalists from Bonny, Andoni, Kwa (lbibio/ Anang), Ogoni, Nkoro Ibo and Opobo (lkot Abasi) staged an anti-colonial revolt to redress tyrannical, insensitive and oppressive imposition of taxes on women, as well as other socio-political and economic grievances against the British Colonial Government.
