Claims about Madam Tinubu's repentance from the Trans Atlantic Slave TradeEdit

Many publications (notably those that promote black history)[23][24] have asserted that Madam Tinubu became a changed person after learning about the evils of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.[25][26][27]

However, an often cited hagiography about Madam Tinubu by Oladipo Yemitan paints a different picture of an unapologetic and profit minded human trafficker.

On one occasion, during her final sojourn in Abeokuta, she was alleged to have sold a young boy into slavery and was accused of it. When arraigned before Ogundipe Alatise over the matter, she reportedly explained: 'I have a large house-hold and I must feed them well. I need money to do that, that's why'.

— Oladipo. Yemitan, 'Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker'

You are very right my broda, in addition, the CONCEPT of being a slave is very different in the 2 climes. The concept of slavery in Yorubaland especially is very mild; subjugation with eventual liberation and societal integration; while in the European and Middle East/ Mediterranean, the concept of slavery is total dehumanisation, subjugation and cruelty.

Africans selling Same Africans, u can imagine. And some mofos will be hating on Innocent whites who cared enough to bring u civilization and still giving u Aids upon Aids All day everyday. This Thing called Black Man has a huge problem, keep sentiments apart and think about it.

Very correct!!.

I try to explain to people that the Europeans never came to trade slaves at first because they were no slaves to trade in Africa. The Europeans came to buy gold, cash crop, other raw materials. They never came here to buy slaves at first. Our first trade with Europeans were not slaves!!.

After some years of legitimate trade with our people, the Europeans simply exploited those practices that were already here, but which we did not call slavery. They began offering money for someone being reprimanded for a crime or a prisoner of war that would normally have been set free later. Eventually, it gradually became the dominant trade, and the original legitimate trade was forgotten!.

You're wrong to some extent, the transatlantic slavery started with the Portuguese who came to Africa mainly for sugar. They forcefully recruited people from Africa for sugar farms in Africa, when the people revolted, they started transporting them to the Americas (Brazil). Other European powers followed suit

See mama looking stern in the picture, lol. Her look says it all. She was really a no-nonsense woman in her time. I read deeply about her. She actually married a kanuri man called mohmodu bugara( from north eastern Nigeria) who happened to be her employee. The man later married another wife but still named the children the second wife had for him after Madam efunroye's father's name(tinubu). One of the children was the Saka Tinubu, the educated Islamic scholar who prominent in the ahmadiyya movement in Nigeria in 1900s. Now I can understand why sen Bola Tinubu is so close to the north.
