Efunroye Tinubu (c. 1810 – 1887), born Ẹfúnpọ̀róyè Ọ̀ṣuntinúbú,[1] was a powerful Yoruba female aristocrat, merchant, and slave trader in pre-colonial and colonial Nigeria


She sold slaves to Brazilian and European merchants in violation of a 1852 treaty with Great Britain outlawing the slave trade in Lagos, which resulted in her coming into conflict with the British

She was married to Oba Adele of Lagos, and she used his connections to establish a successful trade network with European and West African merchants in slaves, tobacco, salt, cotton, palm oil, coconut oil, and firearms. She allegedly owned over 360 personal slaves.

You could be one of her relatives. Anyways Africans condemn her just like we condemn Eunice rivers
An honorary statue and park is a DIFFERENT type of condemnation

Madam Efunroye Tinubu came to Lagos from Abeokuta. She was a successful businesswoman, slave trader and a renowned “Kingmaker” of her time. She held the government of Lagos in her grip and was acclaimed to have organised the first major palace coup: the power tussle between Oba Akitoye and Prince Kosoko (1849-1851).
Madam Tinubu, just before she was deported to Abeokuta by the British Government, gave the then Governor of the Colony, Sir John Hawley Glover (24 February 1829-30 September 1885), the parcel of land on which the iconic “Glover Memorial Hall” was built. The Hall later became a citadel of arts that birthed the growth of art and culture in Lagos State and also saw the birth of stage play productions from great thespians like Duro Ladipo, Herbert Ogunde, Wole Soyinka, Steve Rhodes and many others.

It's the timeframe for me :picard:
She was doing this AFTER it was banned and it was almost certainly globally known how bad slaves were being treated in the new world

I read a story couple years ago about nigeria slave culture within nigeria. Like there is a famous family/town where even now people can tell if you come from a slave or a slave owner that lived there in the past based off name
