Wuraola, Nneka and Azeezah learn the story of a Queen Mother in Nigeria who brought peace to her lands and peoples using herbal remedies. From that time the mother of the first born son of the King was always known as the Queen Mother and was given her own house and servants.
In this story Wuraola, Nneka and Azeezah learn how sixteen year old Queen Amina protected her land from jealous neighbours by building walls around it and riding around them on her horse, called Demon, shooting the enemy with her bow and arrow. You can still see evidence of Amina's walls today if you look very carefully in the sand.
