Section to discuss Efunroye Tinubu as an abolitionist[edit]

I added this section to the page to provide a balanced perspective of the subject's alleged volte face from slavery

Notably, assertions of Tinubu's slavery volte face are unsubstantiated. There is no recording of a public renunciation of slavery and I hope that through this Talk Page section more information can be unearthed to enrich the article.

Updates from user with IP address 141.0.149.26 also introduces an unsubstantiated distinction that obfuscates per IP address 141.0.149.26's accompanying note that curiously deleted properly sourced information from Yemitan's biography:

Adjusted the section on Madam Tinubu and the slave trade to remove bias. As "slaves" in the Yoruba context are not the same as European "Chattel slaves", Efunroye's continued employment and local trade in the former does not contradict accounts of her opposition to the latter

IP address 141.0.149.26's update also deleted a key discrepancy that weakens the claim of Tinubu as an abolitionist: Tinubu violated the terms of the 1852 Treaty abolishing slavery in Lagos (documented in the main Wikipedia article).

Additionally, some of the sources for the volte face claims that Tinubu was banished from Lagos because of her anti slavery position when substantiated accounts in the main article have her trading secretly in slaves & undermining the treaty she was supposedly in support of.
