Goan read abt ur Oyo Empire... I don't want to disgrace coz obviously u are new here

Goan and find why ur Oyo Empire fell in the early 1800 and Benin was still referred to as a Empire as at 1897
I know the truth is a bitter pill. Benin is a small baby when compared to Oyo

Evidence is still there today as the central yoruba people speak today is Oyo yoruba even in Benin

Let me shock you even more:

Benin, Dahomey , even Ashanti and the Ga of Ghana paid tribute to the Alaafin of Oyo in the days of Basorun Gaha

That partly explains how and why Basorun Gaha the Prime Minister became such an arrogant king maker ,king destroyer and tyrant .

Basorun Gaha may be the reason why Yoruba's hate but can wait patiently to outmanoeuvre despotic rulers. It cost 4 Alaafins their lives before the 5th Alaafin Abiodun outsmarted him and finally killed him burning. him to ashes.

He controlled all the territory from the West Bank of River Niger all the way to and including the Ashanti of Ghana and all the Coastline .
The territory was bounded in the North by the River Niger of the Bariba Country (Niger State)
Thank you for these facts. God bless you

Hope the Benin dude can learn

It’s already noted down that Ibadan warlords invaded Benin and took slaves from Benin palace
