dc.description.abstractMost researches have generally regarded taxation as the main reason for revolt in colonial Nigeria. There are good reasons to believe that there were other significant tax related considerations, other than taxation, that were re sponsible for the revolts that were thrown up in the late colonial south-western Nigeria. Some scholars have also noted a comparative process that is currently unfolding; that it was the need to raise money that forced the hands of the co lonial authority into democratization and that the despondency of the indige nous population was a major reason for the crises that enveloped Yorubaland from 1925 up to 1955. These claims have been fully tested. In this article ‘Tax Revolts in Yoruba land, 1925-1955’, questions are asked and arguments ex plored using archival and oral evidences. The study found that the high hand edness of Native Authority and other social and economic considerations were genuine reasons for the discontent of the indigenous population, and these were significant constraints that morphed into spontaneous violent responses across Yorubaland against British colonialism.
