Thank God for the elders, without them the truth would be lost to history! This is why it’s important to document, research the information yourself! You now know the importance of that structure, the woman who fought for there rights and dedication of a bank manager who possibly lost his life for his job! Great stream! I too never knew about the woman’s war! Love the video and the information!
Nice piece, but on what we now call Aba women riot, it didn't start from Owerri or Aba, it started right at Ikot Abasi, don't forget Ikot Abasi was like the seat of power, its started right there and later spread into other province,and I also think all this falsification in our history has to be corrected for proper documentation. And on the building the little I know about it is that, the building was a kind of save used by the British to store their valuable, don't forget the British were merchants on many commodities, setting up camps in different regions in a form of transshipment centre for easy connectivity, while they were into the slave trade business, they were also exploiting other valuable from Africa, such as the minerals deposited beneath,if is what they telling you, the British would have open it to bring out their brothers, what people believe is that there may still be some valuable items inside the save,because they lock the place when leaving Nigeria, and there must have had a very solid reason for locking it,so is left for us to clear our curiosity by opening the save to at least know what's inside.
The protest began at Owerri maybe riot began at Ikot Abasi but protest started when women from some places in Umuahia traveled to Owerri to protest and that is what sparked protest in other places like Aba, Calabar, Igwenga (Ikot Abasi)
@@wowneche you may want to research that, I was surprised that it actually started in ikot Abasi. To think I am from that state and just very recently knew that.
@@wowneche You are very correct. My grandmother took part in that riot from mbaise to Owerri to Aba. If you remember mbaise ppl killed a white man and hung his bicycle on the tree thinking the bicycle will go back and tell of what they did. The white came to avenge their man but mbaise ppl fought back. All these my grandmother told me.
Anyanwu, yes you have some facts dig about Aka nkwu chere Igbo that crossed Imo bridge from umuopara umuahia to settle the rift between the mbaise and the whites.
Been awhile I watched ur video since I traveled out of country have been busy but thank God I have the time to watch today.. earthquake is disturbing us here in turkey we need each and everyone prayers..
FirstBank commenced business in 1894 in what was then the British controlled areas, as the Bank of British West Africa. And I learnt that First bank originally served British shipping and trading agencies in Nigeria.
I believe the story though but if they are claiming that this safe couldn't be broken in this present age, then i cant believe that. Only thing i understand is that they dont want to break it so that they can make it as historical museum
Wownenche, i love your contents àlot. There is a place in Plateau state ( Jos) called Ampang west which is located at a local government called Mangu. It has a crater lake ( the only crater lake in West Africa) called "Am Pudong" history has it that no one has ever been to the centre of that water. Ànd you can't fetch the water from that river. Please make your enquiries.
That door actually looks like a bank vault door. Many banks have similar design of vault doors, if you see vault doors in old Union Bank and First Bank branches. Vaults walls are usually thicker than normal and old British doors never really go bad. They should reach out to the vault door makers like Chubb so that they can find a way to open it. There may be a makers name attached to that door.
The first British Bank in Nigeria was the Bank of British West Africa (BBWA), which was established in 1894. It was a British bank that operated in Nigeria during the colonial era. The bank was later renamed Barclays Bank of Nigeria in 1957, and then Barclays Bank Nigeria Limited in 1969. In 1971, the bank was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. However, if you're referring to the first British bank to be granted a banking license in Nigeria after independence, it was Standard Chartered Bank (formerly Standard Bank of West Africa), which was granted a license in 1999.
There's an aeroplane which landed in our community Obinze Owerri west till date is still there we play around it while we where kids alot of people said the helicopter lost it's way and lots of passengers crashed alongside with it. your bravely is top notch,👏
Why are these amazing victorious Women of Aba not part of the national educational curriculum? Also, why is it called the 'women's war museum' - it makes it sound like the women were just fighting among themselves? Should it not be the 'Aba Women's Victory over the british taxation museum'? We would love the know the names of the women too. How many other wars have women all over the country won yet they have not been given national recognition as they deserve
From old literature, i gather that First British Bank of Nigeria was the most popular bank in those days because it existed in both Lagos and Kaduna in the 50s. I wonder if it has no links to the current First Bank of Nigeria.
When you say they have tried to open the bank but no avail, I was like it can be possible here South Africa. I think you people you must try to contact South African criminals ,they can boom 💥 that ATM for you people, it seems like booming ATM is their hobby here 🧐
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THE BODY OR SKELETON OF THE BANK MANAGER WOULD BE INSIDE. HE COULD NOT HAVE LOCKED HIMSELF INSIDE WITHOUT CRYING FOR HELP, WATER AND FOOD AFTER SOME DAYS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HE LEFT AND ESCAPED BY MIDNIGHT WHEN EVERYONE HAD LEFT THE SCENE OF THE BANK VAULT.
What I also think about this safe is that it may have an escape route like an underground tunnel 😂😂
got out with all the money, hahaha
Absolutely.. Seriously transactions are going on in there 😂😂
I thought so
Wow ! You’re wise .
5gbb çg@@anyanwumaureen7086
I been fast forwarding waiting for you to open the bunk but rumour has it that you’re still talking and not breaking the door
😂😂😂😂😂
God bless and protect you you are a great man

Thanks for all you do, to my own understanding I think it's now the first Bank. When I made the research on it's still talking about first Bank.

My Mothers were formidable resolute and fearless. Aba women riot 1929 I will forever honour my Mothers
Wownche i think Barclays Bank which is now Union Bank could be the name because my mom saved some money for me in 1953 when we came back from London.
Been awhile I watched ur video since I traveled out of country have been busy but thank God I have the time to watch today.. earthquake is disturbing us here in turkey we need each and everyone prayers..
I hope you're good bro
please stay safe you have my prayers 🙏🏾
Yes for now we're safe tho another one just happened yesterday again.....God will see us through 🙏
Hi Ibeto. Hope you're alive and well and hope the earthquake didn't affect you? Just concerned about you.
Scary stories to tell in the dark.
I think inside the bank there's a road out for the manager to escape, maybe the way out is underground
got out with all the money, hahaha
Yes open it I will be waiting to see inside
I am thrilled by your videos... keep it up because its not easy bringing live to history which has been or is being forgotten
May God Continue to protect you
Great job! Kudos always dear brother❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗✌✌✌
I would really love to see what is inside there thank for sharing this history with us viewing all the way from Jamaica 🇯🇲👍👍👍👍👍♥️❤️♥️
They should dig from the ground to get it. 😂
i think someone should turn the bank upside down to see if they can find a hole or dig a hole to get in the bank
Thank you my brother you really amazing.may God 🙏 bless you
Amen
Thank you
History is power. Well done.
can’t believe it can’t be broken in this generation
Well done brother. We need to know the end of this story. God helping you.
That bank manager deserves a raise man ....
Brother, so amazing with this very idea
If only all bank managers were dedicated to their jobs like this one.
This is really strange and interesting. Nice one 👍
Williams watching from Italy
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
How did he allowed view easily .@@wowneche
I’d really love to see so what’s inside this bank

Kudos to you brother. We need more hidden stories like this. ✌️✌️
Kudos to you ✍️
Ah, very scary,but you gave me confident to enter anywhere in oke Idanre
I thought you want to open the bank. I was so curious to see what is inside.
Nice one. Watching from Scotland
I believe the story though but if they are claiming that this safe couldn't be broken in this present age, then i cant believe that. Only thing i understand is that they dont want to break it so that they can make it as historical museum
So fact bro, who are they deceiving with such stories that it's cannot be broken
Well, why can't they break it and recouple it? It's still historical either way.
We need hidden stories like this!
Instead of stupid pranks not making sense
@@terenciamacfoy6111sigh you have no idea. Social media is now full of rubbish all in the name of content 🤦♀️
Interesting.good job .I love history
I'm glad you enjoyed it
Good effort. Congratulations!

Someone has told me about this before but I wasn't able to get there when I was in jos
Strongest bank ever 💪 they cannot fit to break it
Lol
😂😂😂
Pls leave my boy alone😂
😅😅

Weldone brother enjoying your video more strength grace
This Bank Manager must be very rich by now. After over 90 years of zero expenditure, even Elon Musk dares not compare his riches to this man
Really 🤣🤣🤣
Very funny🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂yr joking
You be mumu.get out. The best comedy talk of the century 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 o
Lmbo OMG lol 🤣😆🤣 Christ Sakes
Why can’t they demolish the building from the back instead of going through the iron door?
Because the wall has nothing to do with the safe if you destroy the wall you can't still get into the safe
Okay, I was wondering too but you sorted it now
Wow this is something else
That door actually looks like a bank vault door. Many banks have similar design of vault doors, if you see vault doors in old Union Bank and First Bank branches. Vaults walls are usually thicker than normal and old British doors never really go bad. They should reach out to the vault door makers like Chubb so that they can find a way to open it.

I wholeheartedly agree. There may be important information about the colonial history of Nigeria inside.
@@weareallbeingwatched4602 your comment is amusing but you may have a point there.
They can blow it up

@@wowneche you are making it look like it will be impossible to break it, but it's not..in this era we are in, nothing is impossible
God bless your hustle keep it up,why didn’t you try and open the bank and see if they is corpse or skeleton in it
Nice discovery
Thanks for watching
This story is so interesting
You can open it with good equipment
A similar Story line to What Ireti Doyle did.....
There must be precious stones in there,not only coweries

Dig from the ground into it. This is so easy to do.
That's very interesting, history is very important.
True

The walls nkor ?
Bankk we are waiting to see
Why are these amazing victorious Women of Aba not part of the national educational curriculum? Also, why is it called the 'women's war museum' - it makes it sound like the women were just fighting among themselves? Should it not be the 'Aba Women's Victory over the british taxation museum'?
We would love the know the names of the women too.
How many other wars have women all over the country won yet they have not been given national recognition as they deserve
"The Women's Victory Museum". I agree, let's put some positives to this important part of our African History.
Each everyone's with different ideas
We are bless we women Amen.
How come they just don't use a LiDAR scanner to see through it?
From old literature, i gather that First British Bank of Nigeria was the most popular bank in those days because it existed in both Lagos and Kaduna in the 50s. I wonder if it has no links to the current First Bank of Nigeria.
Very interesting movie
When you say they have tried to open the bank but no avail, I was like it can be possible here South Africa. I think you people you must try to contact South African criminals ,they can boom 💥 that ATM for you people, it seems like booming ATM is their hobby here 🧐
They'll have a though time with this one
@@wowneche 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Am enjoying your stories my oga
Thanks so much
I am 15 but I know the bank very well because of history
This is bank was used slaves times
Will like to know the end of this bank
Wow😮

If he left midnight, but the bank still locked from inside. The greedy fella still in there enjoying his riches. Till death do us part.

To the people living in the town, you can use thermite to cut through the hinges of the door and access its contents. You're welcome

First British Bank of Nigeria
If you're seeing in 2107. Just know that a bank once answered this name in Nigeria.
its the first British colonial bank of Nigeria located in ikot-abasi akwa-ibom state ikot abasi has the most history of Nigeria
True
Is iron, find a good panel beater to dismantle it jor
I don't think that will be important
@@wowneche very important, if I lived in the village, id have opened it long ago, gold could be there. Or what ever,
Exactly!
