[Note: Long but extremely instructive quote about a group of indigenous women who fought back against European colonization and lost.]

The [Igbo] women's war began in 1929 in a place called Oloko. The British had recently introduced a system of taxing men and had decided that in order to assess the taxable wealth of all the people, it would be necessary to count women, children, and domestic animals. When Okugo, the chief of Oloko, attempted, under instructions from the local British officer, to count the goats and sheep belonging to Nwanyeruwa, an important woman in the village, she yelled, "Was your mother counted?" at which point they seized each other by the throat. A meeting of women was called, where it was decided to send a palm leaf, the symbol of trouble and a call for help, to all the women in the area. Women poured into Okugo's compound from around the countryside and proceeded to "sit" upon him. To "sit" upon a man is a pidgin English term referring to the punishment inflicted by women on any man who has broken their laws. It has the same meaning as "spoiling" a person's property. The crowd mobbed the chief, damaged his house, demanded his cap of office, and forced the district officer to arrest him and charge him with assault. "The women," said this officer with some embellishment, "numbering over ten thousand, were shouting and yelling round the office in a frenzy. They demanded his cap of office, which I threw to them, and it met the same fate as a fox's carcase thrown to a pack of hounds. The station between the office and the prison ... resembled Epsom Downs on Derby Day."

Despite assurances from chiefs and administrative officers that women were being counted for purposes other than taxation, the trouble spread to Aba, an important trading center. There some 10,000 women, calling themselves "the trees which bear fruit" and "scantily clothed, girdled with green leaves, carrying sticks," converged upon the town. They attacked and looted the European trading stores and the bank, broke into the prison, and released prisoners. After 2 days of rioting, troops arrived and dispersed the crowds without serious casualties.

In another part of Igbo land crowds of women gathered, bedecked in the symbols of war. "Dressed in sackcloth, their faces smeared with charcoal, sticks wreathed with young palms in their hands, while their heads were bound with young ferns," they burned the Native Court and sacked and looted the European store and other property. They declared that the district officer "was born of a woman, and as they were women they were going to see him." When the women mobbed police and military troops, 18 were killed and 19 wounded. In another incident, elsewhere, 32 women were killed and 31 wounded after a mob of women made threatening and obscene gestures against the troops, calling them sons of pigs, and striking at the district officer with their sticks.

The trouble that broke out in early December was under control by the twentieth day of that month. Igbo men did not participate in the rioting. With a few exceptions, they acted as passive but consenting parties to the behavior of their wives. Children were nowhere in evidence during the riots. The rioting was carried out solely by adult women, who sent round the palm leaves to rally their comrades and beat the drums to convey the message of war, just as the drums are sounded to announce a council meeting. Unwilling women were forced to join. One woman, whose daughter-in-law was killed during the rioting, testified as follows:

We met a crowd of women heading to Utu-Etim-Ekpo. The women stopped us. There were plenty too much women, a very large crowd. They were coming along the road and beating their laps and lifting their heads towards the sky and waving their sticks. All had sticks; big sticks. I was afraid of them. They took away my basket and forced me to join them . . . "You are a woman, you must join us." They looked quite different from any other crowd of women I have ever seen. They had nkpatat (wild fern) round their heads. There were no children with them. As they had no children with them that also made me afraid. I do not know where any of the women came from. I was very much afraid of them and did not look at their faces.

The riots were a testimony to the vigor and solidarity of Igbo women. Although the threat of taxation was the immediate cause, they were really fighting to preserve "the spirit of womanhood." Speaking to the subsequent Commission of Inquiry, the women said, "We are not so happy as we were before . . . Our grievance is that the land is changed — we are all dying." Taking these words literally, the British did not understand their meaning. In fact, the women were right — their way was dying, their spirit and ties to the land were slowly being crushed by the new ways brought by the Europeans. The power of the women's councils had been eroded by the institution of a Native Court system composed solely of Igbo men. During the riots these courts were sacked and burned in 16 Native Administration centers. When giving evidence, the women "uttered a flood of criticism against the corruption and injustice of the chiefs and courts." The commission promised that the Native Courts would be reorganized to reflect more faithfully the Igbo system of justice, and that women would sit as judges.

In 1934 this promise had not been fulfilled. The women's councils had lost more power because the government forbade the women to "war," which had been their major means of enforcing their rulings. In rising to defend what they called the "women's world," Igbo women lost the women's war. Believing themselves to be inviolable, the women were shocked at the carnage leveled against them. Despite their assertions of being prepared to die, they firmly believed that the soldiers would not fire on women, that they had no bullets, and that women were never killed in war. As rioters, they compared themselves to vultures, which in Ibibio (a neighboring tribe) means the "messengers of God." One woman said to the commission:

I was surprised to see the soldiers fire as we were women we call ourselves vultures as we did not think soldiers would fire at us. Vultures go to market and eat food there and nobody molests them nobody will kill vultures even in the market, even if it kills fowls. We only fling sticks at them if they take our chop and so we thought soldiers will not harm us what we may do.

European education, Christianity, and the desire for European goods also contributed to the end of the "women's world." A fitting epilogue is delivered by Sylvia Leith-Ross, a concerned British woman, who wonders how long it will be before education can "give the girls something as important, as satisfying, as pervasive, as the land gave to their mothers." And so a new sex-role plan is imposed by the conquerors on the conquered.

November Save MEGA summary (part 7)

before / next

sad sad news for november save but her majesty erica ekpo has passed, and june was of course devastated

and I quickly arranged a funeral and wake because im organised like that and I promise I WASNT ENJOYING THIS AT ALL 😃

and adie and elijah were goofing and steve had to tell them off 😒

but it was a nice ceremony in the end (if thats what we can call sim funerals AHAHAHA)

landon was also there btw to support adelaide which was nice of him

and admire himself in the mirror I guess

then I gave their bedrooms a little facelift because we came into money mysteriously (thanks erica) HJDGHDGD but no for real, they organised to sell up erica's house and stuff, which meant they had some inheritence to play around with

and heres the entire upstairs since I dont show my builds much I feel

some steve / june cuteness as well because theyre veyr in love and I love that for them

one day adelaide decided to skip school so steve had to sit her down and agreed not to tell her mum this time round because he has a permissive relationship with his daughter oops AHAHA (if june had found her she would have been dead)

then her friend justin came over and FLIRTED with her, but I really dont think she likes him in that way

some cute photos of steve and his third child, moose

(my dog sleeps like this 🥺)

then adelaide went clubbing with her friends for the first time (shes now about 18 I guess in my mind, as this was really close to when she finished school) HER AND LANDON got in a fight tho (initated by landon), and she kissed another dude at the bar to make him jealous #toxic

she looked cute tho

and long sstory short but he did end up going back to herss with her... but for some reason he wanted elijah's bed

which he wasnt too thrilled about, but steve and june slept on blissfully unaware of the shenigans, which is just as well because june would have MURDERED adelaide

elijah decided to make a bad situation good, so he went to the gym to work on building more muscle (hes quite the fitness bro)

Anne-Claire Coudray

Anne-Claire Coudray, journaliste et présentatrice de TF1, a récemment été victime d’une usurpation d’identité. Des fraudeurs ont utilisé son nom et son image pour tromper des internautes, profitant de sa notoriété pour donner une apparence de crédibilité à leurs escroqueries.

L’Affaire Livaxxen et Immediate Bitwave 

L’usurpation de l’identité d’Anne-Claire Coudray est illustrée par l’affaire Livaxxen et Immediate Bitwave. Cette escroquerie a pris la forme d’une fausse interview publiée sur Medium mais également sur le journal “ le monde “ . Le contenu de ces articles mettaient en scène Anne-Claire Coudray dans un contexte financier frauduleux, sans son consentement.

Les techniques employées par les fraudeurs sont bien connues mais restent efficaces : créer un sentiment d’urgence, présenter une révélation choc, et promettre un enrichissement rapide. Tout cela est conçu pour attirer l’attention et persuader le lecteur de la véracité de cette opportunité financière.

Signaux d’Alerte 

Absence de Présence Web Établie : Les sites Livaxxen et Immediate Bitwave et les profils associés manquent d’informations détaillées sur l’équipe, les licences ou les régulations. Les entreprises d’investissement légitimes fournissent généralement des informations détaillées et vérifiables sur leur personnel et leurs opérations.

Promesses de Rendements Élevés : Livaxxen et Immediate Bitwave promettent des rendements élevés et rapides, une caractéristique typique des arnaques financières. Les rendements exceptionnels sans risques clairs devraient éveiller la méfiance.

Enregistrement Récent du Domaine : Le domaine associé à ces arnaques a souvent une existence récente, ce qui peut être un signe de fraude. Les entreprises légitimes ont généralement une histoire plus longue et une réputation établie.

Témoignages de Victimes de l’arnaque financière

Un investisseur sur Livaxxen : “ Grosse arnaque:  Suite à un visionnage de l’émission quotidien je croyais que c’était fiable.”

Gabriel Ekpo, a partagé son expérience sur Trustpilot : «  Immediate Bitwave à fuir ! Ne croyez surtout pas ce qu’on vous raconte a la TV. J’en ai fait l’experience, et j’ai perdu de l’argent à cause de ma naïveté ! »

Comment l’arnaque commence en général 

Une annonce sur Instagram, présentée par Marie-Claire Coudray pour « Le Monde », expliquait comment améliorer sa condition de vie via une plateforme créée par Bernard Arnault, soutenue par la Banque de France et Emmanuel Macron. Après avoir laissé des coordonnées, un contact avec Louise Renie du « CENTRE DE GAINS » propose de verser 400€ pour démarrer sur la plateforme de trading « ATOMIX CHAT » avec Jessica Barret comme mentor. Après le paiement, Mme Barret forme l’utilisateur via AnyDesk sur la plateforme et ensuite, un compte de trading est ouvert, réalisant un premier profit avec le dépôt initial.

Preuves d’Arnaque

Absence de Réponse aux Requêtes : Plusieurs utilisateurs ayant tenté de joindre les numéros de Livaxxen et Immediate Bitwave pour des questions ou des réclamations ont signalé qu’ils sont restés sans réponse. 

Avis et Réclamations en Ligne : Les sites de réclamations comme Trustpilot ou notre cabinet d’avocat contiennent des avis négatifs et des plaintes concernant Livaxxen et Immediate Bitwave. Ces avis soulignent des expériences similaires de fraude et de mauvaise gestion.

Signalements Officiels : Des signalements ont été déposés auprès des Plateformes. Ces signalements qui ont été enregistrés au sein de notre cabinet mais également à l’AMF rapportent des cas de fraude et d’escroquerie associés à Immediate Bitwave.

Protégez-vous contre les Arnaques !

Anne-Claire Coudray n’a jamais donné son accord pour cette interview ni pour l’utilisation de son image dans ce cadre. Afin de se prémunir contre les arnaques, il est crucial de vérifier vérifier la source des informations et de se méfier des offres trop alléchantes. Il est recommandé de consulter directement les sites officiels des personnalités publiques ou des institutions avant de prendre des décisions financières basées sur des recommandations en ligne.
