In the shadow of the 1897 Punitive Expedition against Benin, a lesser-known but fiercely fought uprising unfolded among the Esan people of the Edo hinterland. Discontented with the imposition of British rule and the destruction of their sacred groves, Esan warriors, led by local chiefs and the powerful oracle of Uromi, launched a series of coordinated attacks on British patrols and colonial outposts. This episode explores the events of the Esan Revolt of 1897-1898, including the British burning of Uromi, the capture of Chief Okojie, and the brutal suppression that followed. Drawing on oral traditions and colonial records, Lucas and Luna discuss the revolt's strategic use of guerrilla warfare, its spiritual dimensions, and why this story has been largely overlooked in Nigeria's independence narrative. They also touch on the parallels with the earlier Ekumeku War and the legacy of Esan resistance in modern Edo State. #EsanRevolt #Uromi #ChiefOkojie #PunitiveExpedition #BeninEmpire #Edo #Nigeria #ColonialResistance #1897 #GuerrillaWarfare #OracleOfUromi #EsanLand #BritishEmpire #OralTradition #WestAfrica #History #FexingoHistory #Decolonization Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
