Overview
We have women who left footprints in history but most people do not know about them because their stories are not told. I want to tell their stories and I am starting with Queen Idia of the Great Benin Kingdom. A woman whose determination and courage inspires me.

Short Summary

  • Idia (The Idah War) is about Queen Idia, a patriotic woman who took up arms and went to battle to preserve the throne of the Great Benin Kingdom when the warriors of Benin refused to fight against their enemies because of a perceived misdeed by their King, Oba Esigie.
