Yorubas defeated wetin?

Biafra soliders had less casualty than Nigerian military, in which yoloba led, despite less weapon and allies.

Hell your brother Obasanjo lost 1000 men in his FIRST day as leader according to Isama.

Your blother, Adekunle, stayed his ass in Lagos throughout the war and taking credit of an Anioma aka Isama win. The only one adekunle ever led, he lost so much men he got demoted faster than a speed of light.


When for fulani...they slaughtered and even made a freaking burial ground of una in YOUR lands. Your leaders out of shame and licking buhari ass deemed it " ritualist den" despite the people in question screamed loud that fulani are the culprits. Not even one acknowledge of it by your leaders. At least Enugu leaders didn't shamefully ignore their own cries and accepted what the people said. Yours out of fear pathetically did.

Likewise the fulani OWN your land as we speak.

And this illiterate is talking

You NEVER warriors. You are mouth action cowards

YORUBAS ARE NOT IN YOUR LEVEL AND THE WORLD KNOWS IT.IGBOS ARE COWARDS AND WEAKLINGS.THEIR ONLY FIGHTS OR WARS WERE WRESTLING WHEN GREAT AND BRAVE NATIONS LIKE BRITAIN,YORUBA NATION,ROME ETC WERE BUILDING EMPIRES.

READ A LITTLE OF THE WAR INGENUITY OF THE GREAT YORUBA NATIONS:

Yorubas because of their war capabilities AND BRAVERY expanded up to TOGO and GHANA AND DAHOMEY while your people were covering their blockoss with their bare hands


The EWE people have not always lived in their present home. Their traditions recall a migration from the east - more precisely KETU a YORUBA town in modern BENIN. KETU is also called AMEDZOFE or MAWUFE in the accounts. KETU was founded by the YORUBA people by the fourteenth century at the latest.

In it lived besides the forebears of the EWE, the YORUBA and the ancestors of the AJA, FON, and GA-DANGME. It was the expansion of the YORUBA people that pushed the EWE and related peoples westward.
The migrants went to live at TADO in present-day TOGO from where they later dispersed in various directions.

The Oyo Empire was a Yoruba empire of what is today Western and North central Nigeria, and Eastern Benin. Established in the 15th century, the Oyo Empire grew to become one of the largest West African states. It rose through the outstanding organizational skills of the Yoruba, wealth gained from trade and its powerful cavalry. The Oyo Empire was the most politically important state in the region from the mid-17th to the late 18th century,[citation needed] holding sway not only over most of the other kingdoms in Yorubaland, but also over nearby African states, notably the Fon Kingdom of Dahomey in the modern Republic of Benin to the west.


Mythical origins

The mythical origins of the Oyo Empire lie with Oranyan (also known as Oranmiyan), the second prince of the Yoruba Kingdom of Ile-Ife (Ife). Oranyan made an agreement with his brother to launch a punitive raid on their northern neighbors for insulting their father Oba (King) Oduduwa, the first Ooni of Ife. On the way to the battle, the brothers quarreled and the army split up.[2] Oranyan's force was too small to make a successful attack, so he wandered the southern shore until reaching Bussa. There the local chief entertained him and provided a large snake with a magic charm attached to its throat.

The chief instructed Oranyan to follow the snake until it stopped somewhere for seven days and disappeared into the ground. Oranyan followed the advice and founded Oyo where the serpent stopped. The site is remembered as Ajaka. Oranyan made Oyo his new kingdom and became the first "oba" (meaning 'king' or 'ruler' in the Yoruba language) with the title of "Alaafin of Oyo" (Alaafin means 'owner of the palace' in Yoruba). He left all his treasures in Ife and allowed another king named Adimu to rule there.[3]
Early period (14th century–1535)
A Survey of Old Oyo Palace Compound

Oranyan, the first oba (king) of Oyo, was succeeded by Oba Ajaka, Alaafin of Oyo. Ajaka was deposed, because he lacked Yoruba military virtue and allowed his sub-chiefs too much independence. Leadership was then conferred upon Ajaka's brother, Shango, who was later deified as the deity of thunder and lightning. Ajaka was restored after Shango's death. Ajaka returned to the throne thoroughly more warlike and oppressive. His successor, Kori, managed to conquer the rest of what later historians would refer to as metropolitan Oyo.[3]
Oyo-Ile

The heart of metropolitan Oyo was its capital at Oyo-Ile, (also known as Katunga or Old Oyo or Oyo-oro).[4] The two most important structures in Oyo-Ile was the 'afin,' or palace of the Oba, and his market. The palace was at the center of the city close to the Oba's market called 'Oja-oba'. Around the capital was a tall earthen wall for defense with 17 gates. The importance of the two large structures (the palace and the Oja Oba) signified the importance of the king in Oyo.
The Nupe occupation

Oyo had grown into a formidable inland power by the end of the 14th century. For over a century, the Yoruba state had expanded at the expense of its neighbors. During the reign of Onigbogi, Oyo suffered military defeats at the hands of the Nupe led by Tsoede.[5] Sometime around 1535, the Nupe occupied Oyo and forced its ruling dynasty to take refuge in the kingdom of Borgu.[6] The Nupe sacked the capital, destroying Oyo as a regional power until the early 17th century.[7]
Imperial period (1608–1800)

The Yoruba of Oyo went through an interregnum of 80 years as an exiled dynasty after its defeat by the Nupe. They re-established Oyo as more centralized and expansive than ever. The people created a government that established its power over a vast empire.[6] During the 17th century, Oyo began a long stretch of growth, becoming a major empire.[7] Oyo never encompassed all Yoruba-speaking people, but it was the most populous kingdom in Yoruba history.[8]
Reconquest and expansion
Oyo Empire and surrounding states, c. 1625.

The key to Yoruba rebuilding of Oyo was a stronger military and a more centralized government. Taking a cue from their Nupe enemies (whom they called "Tapa", the Yoruba rearmed with armor and cavalry.[6] Oba Ofinran, Alaafin of Oyo, succeeded in regaining Oyo's original territory from the Nupe.[5] A new capital, Oyo-Igboho, was constructed, and the original became known as Old Oyo.[5] The next oba, Eguguojo, conquered nearly all of Yorubaland.[5] After this, Oba Orompoto led attacks to obliterate the Nupe to ensure Oyo was never threatened by them again.[5] During the reign of Oba, Ajiboyede, he held the first Bere festival, an event to celebrate peace in the kingdom. Celebrated regularly, it would retain much significance among the Yoruba long after the fall of Oyo.[5]

Under his successor, Abipa, the Yoruba repopulated Oyo-Ile and rebuilt the original capital.[5] Despite a failed attempt to conquer the Benin Empire sometime between 1578 and 1608,[5] Oyo continued to expand. The Yoruba allowed autonomy to the southeast of metropolitan Oyo, where the non-Yoruba areas could act as a buffer between Oyo and Imperial Benin.[9] By the end of the 16th century, the Ewe and Aja states of modern Benin were paying tribute to Oyo.[10]

Dahomey Wars

The reinvigorated Oyo Empire began raiding southward as early as 1682.[11] By the end of its military expansion, Oyo's borders would reach to the coast some 200 miles southwest of its capital.[12] It met little serious opposition until the early 18th century. In 1728, the Oyo Empire invaded the Kingdom of Dahomey in a major campaign of its cavalry.[11][13] Dahomey warriors, on the other hand, had no cavalry but many firearms. Their gunshots scared the Oyo cavalry horses and prevented their charging.[14] Dahomey's army also built fortifications such as trenches, which forced the Oyo army to fight as infantry.[15] The battle lasted four days, but the Yoruba were eventually victorious after reinforcements arrived.[15] Dahomey was forced to pay tribute to Oyo. The Yoruba invaded Dahomey seven times before finally subjugating the small kingdom in 1748.[16]

Later conquest

With its cavalry, Oyo campaigned successfully in conquest and suppression over great distances. The Oyo army was able to attack defensive fortifications, but it was harder to supply an army, and they withdrew when supplies ran out.[17] The Oyo did not use guns in its major conquests. The military waited until the 19th century to adopt them.[17] In 1764, a joint Akan(Akyem)-Dahomey-Oyo[18] force defeated an Asante army.[11] The alliance victory defined borders between the neighboring states.[11] Oyo led a successful campaign into Mahi territory north of Dahomey in the late 18th century.[11] The Yoruba also used the forces of their tributaries; for instance, they accomplished a 1784 naval blockade of Badagri with an Oyo-Dahomey-Lagos force.[19]
Organization

At the beginning, the people were concentrated in metropolitan Oyo. With imperial expansion, Oyo reorganized to better manage its vast holdings within and outside of Yorubaland. It was divided into four layers defined by relation to the core of the empire.[20] These layers were Metropolitan Oyo, southern Yorubaland, the Egbado Corridor and Ajaland.

Metropolitan Oyo

Metropolitan Oyo corresponded, more or less, to the Oyo state prior to the Nupe invasion.[20] This was the hub of the empire, where the Yoruba spoke the Oyo dialect.[9] Metropolitan Oyo was divided into six provinces, with three on the west side of the Ogun River and three to the river's east.[9] Each province was supervised by a governor appointed directly by the Alaafin of Oyo.[21]

Yorubaland

The second layer of the empire was composed of the towns closest to Oyo-Ile, which were recognized as brothers.[20] This area was south of metropolitan Oyo, and its Yoruba inhabitants spoke different dialects from that of Oyo.[9] These tributary states were led by their own rulers, titled Obas,[21] who were confirmed by the Alaafin of Oyo.[21]

Egbado Corridor

The empire's third layer was the Egbado Corridor southwest of Yorubaland. This area was inhabited by the Egba and Egbado, and guaranteed Oyo's trade with the coast. The Egba and Egbado tributaries were allowed, like their Yoruba counterparts, to rule themselves. They were, however, supervised by Ajele.[20] These were agents appointed by the Alaafin of Oyo to oversee his interest and monitor commerce. The lead representative of Oyo in the corridor was the Olu, ruler of the town of Ilaro.[12]

Ajaland

Ajaland was the last layer added to the empire. It was the most restive and distant, and kept in line with threats of expeditions against it.[20] This territory extended from the non-Yoruba areas west of the Egbado Corridor far into Ewe controlled territory in modern Togo.[9] This area, like all tributary states, was allowed a fair degree of autonomy as along as taxes were paid, the orders from Oyo were strictly followed, and access to local markets was provided to Oyo merchants.[10] The Oyo often demanded tribute in slaves. The tributary sometimes made war on other peoples to capture slaves for this.[22] Oyo punished disobedience by wholesale slaughter of the community, as it accomplished in Allada in 1698.

Fulani herdsmen cowards that Yorubas have been treating their asses up since 1900.Don't worry yourself about Yoruba because they are warriors who had always been helped by God to win their wars against all their enemies.When there is no more One Nigeria,we would treat their asses up.There is no more Afonja to help them

UNA COWARDNESS KNOWS NO BOUNDS.You know what?Na Yoruba man win una wars for una but when the coward Ojukwu murdered him,una weakling come show well well until a few yoruba soldiers decimated battalions of Igbo soldiers.

However, the Biafrans responded with an offensive of their own when on July 9, the Biafran forces moved west into the Mid-Western Nigerian region across the Niger River, passing through Benin City, until they were stopped at Ore just over the state boundary on August 21, just 130 miles east of the Nigerian capital of Lagos. The Biafran attack was led by Lt. Col. Banjo.

In what was suspected to be a reprisal attack, a Fulani herdsman identified as Dan Bako was Wednesday killed in Ilara-Mokin in Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State.
This is coming barely a week after an Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) member, Mr Ayodele Ige was killed in the farm of Chief Olu Falae in Ilado in Akure Local Government Area of the state.
The head of the Fulani herdsmen in the state, Alhaji Alli Dongo and Babangida Sodiq Kusada, the Chairman of Hausa community in Akure kingdom and the head of Arewa community in the state, said Dongo was declared missing after all efforts to trace him prove abortive.
Briefing reporters in the Officers’ Mess of the Nigerian Police Force in Akure, the state capital, Dongo and Kusada said their kinsman had been living in Ilara-Mokin for the past seven years and was preparing to relocate to his state when the incident happened.

NO fewer than eleven herdsmen have been killed in the last six weeks in some parts of Oke Ogun area of Oyo State. The towns where the killings allegedly took place, according to the Fulani ethnic community in the state, are Otu, Ikomu, Igbo-Ora, Iwere-Ile, Iganna, Ilaju and Ado-Awaye. In a petition by the leaders of Jamu Nati Fulbe Association of Nigeria, Oyo State Chapter, Alhaji Salihu Kadiri and Mallam Muhammed Salihu Kisi, National Chairman and General Secretary ,respectively, the herdsmen called on Governor Abiola Ajimobi to do something urgently to prevent further loss of lives in the areas.

It was on 13 October 2000, when words went
round that General Muhammadu Buhari was
leading the Arewa team to the governor’s office
to confront the state over alleged killings of
Fulani cattle rearers in Saki, Oke Ogun Area of
the state. Buhari did actually telephone the
governor that he was leading a team to his
office.
In less than 30 minutes after the general
informed the governor of his visit, we noticed
that the entire secretariat was already filled with
lorry loads of our brothers from the North. This
created some tension but we kept our calm. At
about 2 p.m., Buhari arrived in a long convoy at
the governor’s office in company of the former
governor of Lagos State, General Buba Marwa,
Alhaji Aliko Muhammed, Alhaji Abdulrazak and
Alhaji Hassan. They all wore long faces. In
fact, the anger in them was palpable as all
pleasantries extended to them were ignored.
“This is trouble” was the expression on the
faces of all of us in the governor’s office.
Shortly afterwards, the state Director of State
Security Service (SSS) and Commissioner of
Police arrived. But their presence did not
change anything particular on the fears that had
already gripped majority of us. The two security
chiefs did not come with any operatives, they
came almost alone.
Late Lam Adesina Photo NAN
The meeting was called to order after Lam
walked into the Executive Chambers.
Introductions over, Buhari spoke on their
mission to the governor’s office. Emitting fire,
the general accused Lam and the government
of Oyo State of complicity in the killing of over
68 Fulani people in Oke Ogun area and
perversion of justice.
His words: “Your Excellency, our visit here is to
discuss with you and your government our
displeasure about the incident of clashes
between two peoples… the Fulani cattle rearers
and merchants are today being harassed ,
attacked and killed like in Saki. In the month of
May, 2000, 68 bodies of Fulani cattle rearers
were recovered and buried under the
supervision and protection from a team of
Mobile Police from Oyo State Command.
“ That some arrests were made by Oyo State
Police Command in the massacre with their
immediate release without court trial. This was
said to have been ordered by Oyo State
authorities and they were so released to their
amazement. The release of the arrested
suspects gave the clear impression that the
authorities are backing and protecting them to
continue the unjust and illegal killings of Fulani
cattle rearers…”
According to the general, they therefore wanted
immediate stoppage of the killings, justice and
compensation to the Fulanis.

IF HE HAD NOT BEGGED,THE KILLINGS OF THE SAVAGES WOULD HAVE CONTINUED UP TO FUTA JALON

What the hell? So many lunatics on the loose, it's exasperating

You're one reasonable and right tinking girl. A type with beauty, brains and manner. If we have only your type in Nigeria or just within the political class, then Nigeria wouldn't be in the mess it's in. Frankly speaking, I was once like you on here, vexing at any tribalistic comment or statement made against my people (because my people always gets the most bashing here). I was born and brought up in Lagos, spent most of my life (20something years) in Lagos, but it was not until I joined Nairaland that I noticed the massive hatred and division between Yoruba people and Igbos. I was always upset whenever I saw hate filled comments levelled against my people, especially on crime threads.

An Igbo man commits crime and all Igbos takes the bashing for it. We're called criminals, drug dealers, IPOB, products of baby factory, etc. This name checking stuff on crime threads started this way and it has continued till date. I have nothing against any tribe and that it why I have chosen not to tow the tribal line and I continuously wish that whoever has any evil wish for a tribe in Nigeria be the first to experience that which s/he wishes that tribe.

What I want you to do (same thing I did back then) is to ignore those comments like they don't exist. Also, based on your comment you called out the owner of NL, we all know that but we act like nothing is happening. Just ignore the comments and move forward. Don't allow idle, tribalistic and hate-filled bigots give you something to worry about. Peace..
