S'Nabou

Alima S'Nabou (born c. 1880) was an African interpreter (from modern day Nigeria) who accompanied a French explorer named Lieutenant Mizon.

Alima S'Nabou was born to a chief, Konanki, in the village of Igbobé, near Lokodja located at the confluence of the Benoue and Niger rivers.

[6] S'Nabou assisted by communicating the feelings of the Sudanese people and proved to be useful in Mizon's quest of going up the river Niger in a steam boat.

[11] Le Monde illustré published an article about her, naming her as Sanabou, which said that she was "en passe de devenir une celebrité Parisienne" ("on the way to becoming a Parisian celebrity").

[10] In September 1893, Mizon and his entourage left Yola on his boat and "dropped S'Nabou at the Catholic mission at Onitsha where she gave birth to a boy of light complexion".
