August 1959 Are Our woman Richer Than Our Man Alhadja

August 1959 Are Our woman Richer Than Our Man Alhadja Nimota worked like a busy beaver, selling a bit of cloth here, another bit there. It mounted up. Going on pilgrimage to Mecca every year hardly makes a dent in her bulging purse. They are fading fast, the days when our women used to go pleading to their men for few bob for clothes, for a trinket. The ladies, with disarming smiles, with a relentless grasp of business principles, are carving a way deep into our financial world. Theyre getting into the tycoon class, making bank managers bow when they sweep in. (Photograph by Matthew Faji BAHA)
