I heard the Senator Ahmed Tinubu is related to her, is it true?

hopexter:
This story is confusing me she aided in slave trade abolishment after selling more than 2 million slaves and making money and fame from it. She retired from the business doesn't mean she stopped it.

Stallion93:
Read my post again, I said they didn't make much of the Slave trade numbers and history in general. They all did But when u talk about slavery today Only blacks come to mind because ours Fvkin lasted for 400 years.

Stallion93:
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.

They blacks or they spent less years??

OneCorner:
Everyone keeps blaming whites for slavery.
But is it not blacks that were selling d slaves?

ajl:
See this one. Oh my! Did I see you say "innocent whites"? How naive. So you think the aids they are giving out is to help Africa. Point to a nation that has achieved anything with aids from the Europeans. The purpose of the aids is to mentally subjugate Africans and promote access to resources. Can you believe the Chinese with $200 million aid built the African Union headquarter, and they went ahead to bug it.

awelekiti:
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.

StUriah:
Check this if it is true

Lame attempt to twist history
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'.

don't believe awelekiti she is in no way related to bola tinubu.. the northerners the yorubas fought were fulanis not kanuris..

slavery never happened in West Africa..

codemaniacs:
Tinubu's mother's name is Abibatu Mogaji

codemaniacs:
there's no info on his father that I know of...

his mother was probably a married woman so I assume his father's surname was also mogaji.

this is just my assumption since having a child in her era would have led marriage..

codemaniacs:
you are entitled to your opinion...

in my opinion, African women (specifically Yoruba and Igbo women) never had multiple husbands in the 1800s but the men had multiple wives due to their wives bringing their friends to them.

I believe bola tinubu is an imposter..

codemaniacs:
like I said you are entitled to your opinion.

her biography was not written by her. you have no proof that she married more than one husband and you have no proof that the picture used to depict her is own picture.

there are people with the same surname that aren't related, so the Tinubu family can't do anything about it..

Yoruba women wouldn't marry more than one husband due to population control and the sacredness of womanhood...

FisifunKododada:
My fellow Egba person. God bless her. Yorubas setting the pace for humanity since 3333 BC.

codemaniacs:
I don't prove with facts since "African historical facts" were not written by Africans...

share links or materials of this woman's biography written by her children...

98% of families don't keep records... the families that have records only have photographs of their grand parents not great grand parents..

you are entitled to your opinion..

I would never accept your opinion and you would never accept mine..

be careful with what you see and read as "facts"...
