== Biography == Ngalifourou was born in 1864 in Ngabé on the Congo River. A member of the Tio people (Eastern Teke), who are a Bantu community living between the present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo, Ngalifourou was married at the age of 15 to King Iloo I (also known as Iloo Makoko), who was much older than her. She was his second wife, titled Waafitieere. Oral traditions suggest they married in 1880.
