For better understanding of the
Mugbamugba war, you should
read the true story of how Afonja lost IIorin and its kingship to Fulani people.

After the Fulani Jamma
murdered Are-Ona-Kakanfo
Afonja and seized control of
Ilorin, Abdulsalam, the son of
Shehu Alimi, became the first
Fulani ruler of Ilorin.

Abdulsalam ruled with the title
of Emir and not
Oba which
proved that the Yorubas had
completely lost control of Ilorin,
a Yoruba town, to the Fulanis.

In a bid to restore the control
of Ilorin in the hands of the
Yoruba people, Toyeje, the
Baale of Ogbomoso and the
new Are-Ona-Kakanfo, led an
attack on Ilorin to expel the
Fulanis but failed.

After sometime, between the
months of March and April
when garden egg (Igba) was
ripe for harvest, another
attempt was made by the
Yorubas to chase Fulani people out of IIorin but failed again.

During this period, the whole
land was already devastated by
the previous wars and
consequently there were no
farms for foraging. Ilorin had
also ran out of food, so both
sides had no food to eat than
garden egg (ìgbá) thus the war
was named Mugbamugba.

The Yorubas suffered untold
defeat in the Mugbamugba war.

They did not know how else
they could fight the Fulanis who
were expert horsemen with
potent charms. Monija, the king
of Rabbah and a mercenary
fighting on the side of the
Yorubas, fled to his town
leaving the Yorubas to their
fate.

To crown their victory, the
Fulanis of Ilorin attacked all
towns in the directions of Offa,
Erinle and Igbona. The Olofa of
Offa with Asegbe (his Ilari)
escaped to Ikoyi.

Kwara is gone

Yoruba Nation actuallization will put an end to it permanently.

maybe that is the reason why our president appointed Gambari as the chief of staff to the president.

Summary:

It failed.

That is one of the reasons. Success of yoruba national means ilorin down to jebba and kabba will become yoruba territory.

NaijirianKing:
This is an interesting write up, however it is slightly factually inaccurate.

Ilorin never "belonged" to any one ethnic group as it has always been a multi-ethnic city and by extension, Kwara has always been a multi-ethic state belonging to no one group or people. The area known today as Kwara was always more Northern in culture, religion, heritage and world view.

Due to the marginalization done by ancient Oyo, many of those Oyo subjects, who had Yoruba language imposed on them began to move North in search of freedom from the overbearing Oyo Empire. As such, they found refuge in what we now call Kwara, this migration raised the number of Yoruba speaking tribes relative to the number of Hausa and Fulani speaking tribes already in the area.

Afonja, although not Fulani, had called his Fulani brothers, who he felt a closer link to, in order to free Kwara from Oyo. If we look at history in its proper context we see that Kwara is truly a multi-ethnic state and we should stop trying to divide that state by claiming it is part of this or that, when Kwara has already decided that it is comfortable with its historic home and that is with the Sokoto Caliphate.

It is good to learn history, peace my brothers.

Trash.
Afonja revisionist.

Present day Kwara state even up to Niger state was under Oyo Empire rule according to British colonial records until Fulani disgraced your forefathers out of their own land.

Where did you get your own Afonja history if your people learnt to write from the same British??

You are ashamed of your own history.

What's your source? I am sure this was history according to you. You are a revisionist.
If you had read that piece which is the correct version you will know that the war relates to Ilorin as there was nothing like Kwara as at that time.
You can open a new thread on this your new fables and we will meet to discuss it.

This guy deny him heritage!!

The ruler of Ilorin when the British arrived was a Yoruba man Called balogun alanamu .

The last Emir Momoh had been defeated by the Yoruba Chiefs and had burnt himself alive inside his Palace

Ilorin has Fulani Presence only because the British reimposed the defeated Emir on Ilorin around 1897

Before that balogun Yoruba (Inakoju alanamu) was the actual ruler of Ilorin.

The Emir had been deposed by the Ilorin Yoruba Chiefs before the British arrived.

balogun alanamu fought the British and was exiled to Jebba after the British defeated him.

It was the British that reinstaled an Emir in Ilorin after the defeat of balogun Yoruba Inakoju alanamu due to Political Pressure from Northern Emirs .

The Emir of Ilorin had been defeated and deposed by the Ilorin Yoruba Chiefs before the British arrived.

The British left at Independence after an agreement was made to have a referendum Kwara State.

The Post independence Government of Balewa and Azikiwe frustrated that referendum by not carrying out the Kwara referendum which should have happened at the same time as the Midwest referendum in order to cripple Awolowo and his Party Politically after Awolowo had been jailed in 1962

Balewa and Azikiwe also didn't Carry out the other referendums agreed with the British before independence meant for the Eastern and Northern Minority Ethnic groups.

Ilorin still has an Emir because of Colonial and Tribal Politics

Did you know I have seen this thread but had to leave because I realized that Op is a ipob mischief maker. Anyone with knowledge of history knows that the Emirs at different occasions was sacked twice from ilorin back to sokoto but reinstalled with the help of the British...
Sometimes, you allow them have fun & grin.

Chai, so sad!
Maybe it was their triumph that made them think of conquering the rest of Nigeria but East will certainly be their Waterloo.
