Yeye Taiwo Lijadu, at 75, stands as an inspiring figure from Nigeria’s music history, where she once shattered glass ceilings alongside her sister in a patriarchal industry.
The Lijadu Sisters not only transformed Nigeria’s pop music scene in the 1970s with their groundbreaking sound and style but also became symbols of female empowerment amidst societal struggles.
'Women suffered at the hands of men in Nigeria,' Lijadu recalled, reflecting on the harsh realities that popular female artists faced during their rise to fame.
With their 1970s albums being remastered and reissued, the Lijadu Sisters are finally receiving the recognition and acclaim they long deserved for their pioneering contributions.
