The Woman That Made Fortune From Slave Trade, Madam Efunroye Tinubu by Jacobnoise(m): 3:09pm On Oct 18, 2017
It is said that Egba people in the Yoruba tribe are very industrious people.
It is because of their hard work that they end up influential, powerful and wealthy.
The 19th century businesswoman Madam Efunroye Tinubu exemplifies this belief. In her time she was the wealthiest woman in the Yoruba kingdom.

Not only did she have wealth, she was influential and a kingmaker.
Her story starts circa 1805 when she was born in the heart of Egbaland, Ojokodo. Her father's name was Olumosa and her mother's name was Nijeede. Her full name is Osuntinubu because it was believed she was gotten from the water goddess Osun.
