Ibadan market women and Lebanese traders in Southwest Nigeria, 1900–1960
In the pre-colonial era, Yoruba market women were astute itinerant traders with a formidable presence in the trading spaces of towns and villages. This legacy subsists till the twentieth century when colonialism shaped the business terrain. Colonial commercial changes such as the cluster of business districts in Ibadan around Dugbe, Ogunpa and Old Gbagi market were strengthened by the railway facility in the environs which ultimately aided the inflow of imported goods and textiles inclusive. Thus, this work examines the politics of textile trade between market women and the Lebanese merchants involved. The work contextualises the features of rivalry and discontent in the trade relations. It exposes market women’s cultural disposition to the market as a means of economic power cherished as a source of livelihood in the colonial era. The work deployed the historical approach to analyse primary and secondary sources such as books, journals and archival materials.
