Ms Tinubu-Ojo also declared herself the first daughter of Nigeria.
Barely two days into his administration, the daughter of the newly sworn-in president of Nigeria, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, has declared herself the Iyaloja-General of the republic.Iyaloja is a Yoruba word that translates to “Mother of the Market” in South Western states. It is an elective position commonly used to refer to market leader.Among the leaders, a general leader is chosen hence the title, Iyaloja-General.
Her updated Twitter bio is a far cry from the previous administration, where the president’s children were not visible. Even the ‘Office of the First Lady’ was not recognised.First daughter The first family is an unofficial title which draws its etymology from pop culture and became popular in 1962 after American comedian Vaughn Meader released his comedy album, ‘The First Family’.Going by reactions, many seem to believe that Ms Tinubu-Ojo, by announcing herself as the First Daughter of Nigeria, may be getting some other monetary inducements.
“I shall be focusing on Youth & Women Empowerment, empowering people with Special Needs, empowering the vulnerable and several other programs aimed at affecting the lives of Nigerians, especially, those in the grassroots.
