In 1457, Tsoede, the king of Nupe, invaded Oyo and sacked the capital where Onigbogi, the Alaafin (king), fled to the land of the Ibariba and died there.

The Oyo Empire had no king for 85 years until Ofinran became Alaafin in 1542.

Doesn't matter now, with Amotekun, it won't happen again

They did attack the Oyo people and drove them into Ibariba lands(meanwhile Ibariba people were so nice to Oyo, later on Oyo people's wars were Ibariba people's war too, they were like allies), after some decades, the Oyo kingdom restreghtened and later defeated the Nupe army, the defeat marked the renaissance of Oyo kingdom's power and might which stretched far across into the lands of the Ashanti.

so ibaribaism has been there before iberibeism.

Expansion

From 1650 onward, the Oyo Empire entered a period of expansion, where it would extend its rule over most communities between the Volta River in the west to Benin and the Niger River in the east. The expansion of the Empire was made possible by the adept use of calvary and the use of part-time military forces recruited from its tributary states.

The height of Oyo's militaristic expansion was in 1748, following the subjugation of the Kingdom of Dahomey, which occured in two phases (1724–30, 1738–48). The empire then began trading with European merchants on the coast through the port of Ajase (Porto-Novo)

The third Alafin of Oyo, Sango Olukoso's mother was Nupe...
Why the fight??

Lol. Oyos never came close to the Ashanti region. Their highest push was Benin republic around the dahomey kingdom.

Lol @ your concocted history. Can you name just two ethnic groups in Nigeria that fell under Oyos rule? Chai, did the Oyos even know about the river Niger in the East? Did they even cross the Benin Empire of the Edo people?

Lol. Are you begging because of Amotekun? This is a confirmation.

Who's talking about Amotekun here...

See this afonja.. Who's talking about Amotekun here... You were once conquered by Nupe that's what I want you to know

exchanging words on intellectual discuss or history with an Habokkii is a big insult to a Yoruba man i mean its the worst downgrade.. your people could barely cram 600 pages of an Arabic book, and call yourself literate, while we are into science , inovation , creativity

8 out of 10 Northerner is extremely poor and cant afford proper education except tales almajiri are told from one place they beg to the other

Waoh! This is a heavy blow!!!. Yoruba's intellectual can't really be compared to an average aboki, but trust me, SOME OF THE SO CALLED ABOKI ARE BRILLIANT AND WELL LEARNED. We should stop these Aboki, Afonja, flat head generalismo

I think someone is clonning Arrewa that I know.

Don't mind the cowards. They wanted to rewrite history. The Oyo Empire only ruled over Yoruba people. They were not bold enough to venture into lands of other tribes.

Which of the Oyo capitals?

For heaven's sake,why do yorubas love revisionist stories? Why do they like overhyping a non existent empire? Furtherst point of oyo kingdom was ogun,parts of osun and ekiti,then occasionally the kingdom of dahomey and even that threw off the yoke of oyo imperialism. Oyo never knew of the river Niger as that was permanently Benin kingdom's jurisdiction. Otun ekiti was Benin's permanent boundary with Oyo, as all the South eastern, coastal and Akoko Yoruba states were permanently Benins'. Records, traditions and folklore stories are there to prove my point. I don't know where you got your stories about oyo kingdom extending to river Niger from.

Point of correction,not even all of Yorubas. Lagos,ilajes,ikales,owos,akokos,ondos,ijares,
Akures,ijeshas,and even coastal ijebus of Oguns were never part of oyo empire. Those were Benin's territories.

The Bariba Kings and Oduduwa were relations that was why Oyo took refuge in their Land

Arewa man wants to tell us history, what a sacrilege!

Do you even know how the name- 'Ijebu Ode' came to limelight or how it's created?

Some unfortunate people want to belittle my heritage

Proud of my Oyo heritage no matter what

Piss off

Stop capping, there was no Oyo empire when the city was sacked at the time. You all lie/twist too much.

Moreover, the capital city of the then Oyo was situated in a frontier area squeezed between the Nupes to its North-East, and the Baribas to its North-West.

It was from the point of returning back to the capital that Oyo first saw the need to be offensive/expansive.

This return (in the late-1500s) marked the beginnings of Oyo’s imperial programs which made Oyo into an empire that it became — with Nupe now as one of its tributary provinces among several other tributaries.

Cheers.
