There is nothing like that. The problem is that we do not appreciate our culture and history. Do you know that markets are connected to the Oba? The Iyaloja is a member of the King's cabinet and the King gets to know the feelings of the people through what the market women say? Our mothers worked and earned without problem until the British colonialists came to destroy our system of government. It won't happen in Igbo markets because historically Igbo don't have the same system but the story of Funmilayo and Aba women's rights should have taught Nigerians some lessons about who they are. Alas!

Our society has been destroyed by Western ideas and some people who call themselves feminists without knowing who they are will say their fathers are misogynistic and all that nonsense. They don't know how powerful their mothers were before oyinbo came to destroy what they had. Now the oyinbo are contaminating their minds the way they did in the west to make them compete with men instead of us working together as a society. Everyone had their roles, both men and women. The same British called our fathers idiots for giving their women so much freedom such as Iyaloja!!! They did not allow women participate in their own democracies, today women are looking for crumbs to eat in that thing they call percentage whatever. They are begging the Presidents to give them space. How foolish can Africans be!

Do your own research on why we had the Aba Women Riot and the Abeokuta riot, all led by women. Even in Black America, women were tired of being lied to because they saw white massa sleeping with them and giving them false hopes. Women are protectors of the society. Today I saw one boy on Nairaland who said a woman without 500k should not get married. Women in Nigeria have been raped off their power and deceived with feminine rights by oyinbo who make them hate their ancestors and love fake oyinbo rights. The women did not take a careful study of how these oyinbo gave their own women rights and when.

Before you reply me, if you choose to reply me, listen to Prof first and reflect on who we historically are. If you don't know your history, you will repeat the mistakes of the past

Expect divide and rule tactics soon, they are Igbo or they want to develop the land or set the place on fire.

MadPolitician:
That iyalaoshi nonsense is not known to the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. The lady in question is an interloper that should be immediately arrested and prosecuted for extortion and grand theft. Imprisonment should follow as quickly as possible, since she has constituted herself into a grand menace to the society for a long time. I just can not understand how the so called financial capital of the country will be allowed to descend so low as to tolerate this sort of infamy. How a person not recognised by the constitution as a functionary of the state, will be going around collecting taxes that go directly to her personal purse is mind boggling.

Nigeria runs on a well documented constitution. Warts and all, that paper called the constitution dictates every constitutionally accepted position in the country. Again, the federal laws supersedes any petty local laws. I will repeat for emphasis; the federal laws supersedes any petty discriminatory edicts from the states. If some prehistoric tribal mutants want to enforce traditional edicts alien to the constitution just to satisfy their village ego, they should be told what to do; get yourself a brand new Republic and make the strange looking daughter of your tribal god the leader of all markets there. Your kettle of fish. But as long as Nigeria subsists, this galurous ladys corrupt intentions will always be challenged.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Iyaloja stuff should be restricted to traditional Yoruba markets in charge of women traders selling pepper and tomatoes , not Igbo markets

What does she know about electronics and like gadgets that she wants to lead a market dedicated to those items ?

InyinyaAgbaOku:
That's Yoruba market system for you. Computer village doesn't fit into that

Dalohad:
The Ibos already know how some of our tribalistic yorubas think and will find a way around it.. There are other tribes in all the associations who are stakeholders there..

Tinubu's daughter has no stake and should go get a job.. Iyaloja general rubbish is not constitutional.

PureFace1:
Keep ranting

Who told you Iyaloja is illegal in Nigeria, you guys are the illiterates? We have different type of Laws in Nigeria and Iyaloja is very legal in Nigeria according to customary laws, that customary laws also have federal constitution backing it.

Even if it is not legal go and create a Pigsty in front of the Sultan of Sokoto , start selling pig meat and claim it is not illegal in the federal constitution and see what happen, Same way Beer and alcohol is not illegal in Nigeria but it is being destroy in the north.

You Igbo are just looking for a way to disrespect Yoruba and start dragging space with Yoruba in south west, it is not the taxes that is bothering you, what is bothering you is the fact you have to start bowing for a Yoruba woman as the Chief of the market, we all know how misogynistic Igbo culture is, you hate bowing for women or giving them same respect as that of men but this is Yoruba land you have to respect our culture and customary law or you won't have peace in that market.

In your tiny oshogbo world, a customary law is superior to a federal law in a federal republic. Ignos la bla bla. No pne has said you can not bow to a pig if you want. All i said is that the office of Iyalaoshi is alien to federal Nigerian laws and the courts just proved that. Its a primitive and atavistic set up that is bound to unravel the wayNigerias do business.

If you want a country where your villages laws trounces that of the federal government, create your own republic just as the biafrans are trying to do. Its irritating that you will insist on one Nigeria while desperately trying to browbeat everyone else into accepting your primitive laws. That agbadorian logic wont fly

There's nothing like Igbo markets in South west every market is Yoruba market just because you have large Igbo population in the market doesn't mean you now own it, if you want Igbo market relocate to the East.

Christistruth02:
Iyaloja and Babaloja are for all Markets in Yorubaland

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Go and tell that to the court that removed Iyaloja.

How does she help with logistics on gadget sales if she knows nothing about the logistics?
We are not talking of pepper and tomatoes here.

tiger28:
Obviously you are from THAT Side.........Absolutely no understanding or regard of Culture.......Uncouth Ppl dem!

WHY aint you selling your "gadgets" in the East.......oh forgot, Low patronage and insecurity.

Take your Gadgets back to the East Market abeg!

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Is their iyaloja at Microsoft office in Lagos or culture never reach that side ?
Where iyaloja dey for China town in Lagos ? Biko shift

tiger28:
Clutural Bastards!

Dragging WHERE they shouldn't be dragging......i blame the Yorubas, eboes can NEVER attempt this in our North. They already know the result.

Do you EVEN know what iyaoloja MEANS?

tiger28:
SOON they will close down the market for SANITATION then these "Naked" ppl will start BEGGING AGAIN!

Beggie Beggie Ppl dem!

You see, you cannot do whatever in another man's land..........Iyaoloja has been a Title in all SW markets since the beginning of TIME(I dont care if its Tinubu daughter or not)

You cannot educate ppl that have no origin....abi how can you explain HOW your Traditional headwear is a Santa hat that is MEANT for Cold WINTER in African Hot Climate

We Northerners have a Turban or cap reminiscent of our Islamic Culture while Yorubas have Abetiaja cap that local to their Culture.


If you dont like it......then RELOCATE!

I am a Northerner!

Open your eyes

Lagos Markets are all controlled by Lagos State Government

Computer Village is located in a residential area and should have been closed down 4 years ago

It is a no win Situation

Lagos Government always wins in Lagos


Jokes apart there is important History to why all Markets in Yorubaland always Traditionally have an Iyaloja and Babaloja
Iyaloja and Babaloja always resolve disputes in the Market before it is blown out of proportion

The Yorubas once fought a 7 year Civil War that was started by a shortage in a Bowl of Pepper sold at Apomu Market in Osun State

It was called the Pepper War and it led directly to the Owu War.

The War resulted in victory for the Oyo/Ijebu/Ife alliance and the destruction of the over 700 year old Owu kingdom and the death of Olowu the Owu king

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Even historically, iyaloja and babalojas are traders in the same market who are conferred the title.
Does this Iyaloja have a shop in computer village ?

You can't resolve disputes when you don't know the nature of a market , this is not pepper selling here

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Any iyaloja in china town and Microsoft office as well as expatriate business areas in Lagos?
Culture no reach that side? Cultural kleptomaniacs

Christistruth00:
It is your lack of knowledge of Yoruba History which is making you speak this Way

European Arms and Ammunition were sold in those markets and it was the duty of the Babaloja and Iyaloja to make sure none got into enemy hands
Yorubaland markets always have Iyaloja and Babaloja

They have advisers that are experts in the field

InyinyaAgbaOku:
But the iyalojas had shops therein right ?

Factcheck0001:
