Osomalo
The osomalo were active traders, mainly of Ijesa-Yoruba origins.
Tough with money and debt collection, the osomalo relied on the use of credit to make huge profits, to the extent that the name described both a trading practice and cruel habits.
Khadijah bint Khuwaylid RA the first wife of the Rasulullah SAW, was born in Mecca into a merchant family of the Quraysh tribe. She was named Khadija because she was born as a premature baby๐. She was also referred to as Tahira (the pure) even before Islam due to her chastity.
