Draft:Onokoro Nwoti

  • Comment: While this reads like an advertisement and essay, the article is also not focused on Nwoti, there're details that really should not be here as they do not directly focus on Nwoti. An overhaul might make this acceptable because of Nwoti's significance, but this draft, as is, can not be accepted. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:02, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Onokoro Nwa Enyi Nwoti was born in northern Igboland in Nigeria. She was born sometime around 1903 though the exact date is not documented.[1] During her long life she became a “merchant queen” holding much power and influence in the marketplace. She also was politically influential as a member of National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) and a leader for women in the nationalist movement. Her date of death is unknown but as of 1998, Madam Nwoti was still engaging in trade, albeit in a different form than in earlier periods.[2]
