Yorùbá women from the 1950s 🥵 Komọ́lẹ̀, gèlè and ìpèlé, you can’t separate Yorùbá women from the Aṣo-òkè, Iro, Gèlè and Ìpèlé.
A regal combo 🤍

Gèlè ò dùn bí i ká mọ̀ọ́ wé, ká mọ̀ọ́ wé, kò dà bí i kó yẹ'ni. /
The beauty of a woman's head-tie lies not just in knowing how to tie it, but in how well it fits when tied.
[Ultimately, end results not activities count.]

LIFE STORY ON EFUNSETAN ANIWURA!!

Efunsetan Aniwura was a prominent 19th-century Yoruba woman renowned for her wealth, business acumen, and significant influence in Ibadan, Nigeria. Born in the 1790s in Ikija-Egba (now Abeokuta), she overcame early adversities, including being orphaned and the death of her only child, to become a formidable figure in Ibadan.

She established herself as a successful trader, dealing in commodities such as bitter kola, kola nuts, and cocoa, and was a pioneering force in business, particularly for women of her time. Efunsetan's operations were vast, employing numerous slaves on her agricultural estates and trading extensively across West Africa, even engaging with European traders.

Her power extended beyond commerce into the social and political realms, where she became the Iyalode of Ibadan, a title signifying her role as a leading female authority. She was known for her stern leadership, partly influenced by her personal losses, and her strategic involvement in military affairs by training her slaves in combat, thus contributing to the city's defense capabilities.

However, her prominence also led to political rivalries, particularly with Aare Ona Kakanfo Latoosa, the military commander of Ibadan, who eventually orchestrated her removal from the Iyalode position in 1874 due to her growing influence. Her demise remains controversial, with theories suggesting either su***de or betrayal and poisoning by her adopted son, possibly under Latoosa's influence.

Efunsetan Aniwura's life and legacy continue to be celebrated as a testament to female strength, entrepreneurship, and leadership in Yoruba history, despite the tragic end to her powerful and influential life.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 PLEASE READ‼️ professional mode people come engage with me 3 little words

🔊If everyone wants to get money that's in professional mode, it's not about how much content (like how much you're posting) you put out or your reach.

▪️When you keep posting, people start commenting on that; so people start bouncing from one thing you post to another so you're not getting enough comments per post.

◼️So, make one post like this right here and everybody that is connected with you does nothing but comment on this post right here. That's how you run it up.

▪️If you want to comment hard on other stuff that I post that's fine as well, but the main key is if everybody makes this same post that I'm making right here.

◼️Explaining the situation and 40 or 50 of us get together every day and post on it about 5 to 10 times a piece each on each other's page, that's running it up!

🔸You don't have to have people comment on 50 different posts because then you're only going to make so much change per post.

▪️So I'm going to make this one post right here and ask that everybody that messes with me, I don't care what you say; if it's "hey, how you doing?, Good morning, I love you, kiss my butt, I hate you... I don't care what you put just do it 10 times a day for me and I'll go to your page and do it 10 times a day for you on one post.
☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽
🔷This one post that's all I'm asking...

◼️I'm deserving of that and every one of us is and that's where we've been going wrong people. There's a lot of people complaining they ain't making money and they're doing it day and night.

▪️That's because you're overdoing it and it's called shadowing. Facebook starts to think your account is fake. It's over excessive and you start catching restrictions and stuff like that. It only takes one post, really. Yeah, everybody wants to make something cool that would go viral, but all you have to do is do this right here explain what I'm explaining right here.

🔥🔥Stay on this one post and comment on it 5 to 10 times a day for me and I'll go to your page and I'll stick to one thing you posted and do the same thing for you everyday.☝🏽

▪️Now let’s get that money! 🥰

Out of all the Òrìṣà in Yorùbá land that people try to avoid worshipping, Òrìṣà AJÉ is not one of them.

You see Oníṣẹ̀ṣe, Muslims, Christians and everyone jumping at the front, praying to Òrìṣà Ajé, because, no one hates wealth.

Once you are Yorùbá, you can't do without Ajé.

May Òrìṣà 🐚 Aje' bless our week and fill our pockets and hearts..... Àṣẹ Èdùmàrè

A healthy mind, body, spirit and soul is where the real WEALTH resides.....

Ibosi Ajé ooooooo 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

Ire O!
