[quote author=gregyboy post=67467297]Truth will be separated from ...there is a parable that says so many lies brought together brings the truth ....ure saying a lie nw but truth as been deducted from it ...your fellow brothers said benin nevered fought any war with yoruba tribes Some said that they only attempted but failed You came and said it was due to linage or social contract ....i laff because no matter how you all paddle ur lies it will still comeout from ur mouth Just let a little disagreement btw two yorubas and you see all the truth spilling out and you the children will start covering the lies of the old men I still bet on it if nigeria divides yorubas will split up .... Addressing the issue of empire oyo was never an empire if a togo man or a dahomey man where to be on this forum ...it wil be another another argument against oyo lies ....it be true u conqured togo nd Dahomey wat was the influence of the war on the oyo people where are the evidence ,were they songs of it ,are they artefact about it...if know its a lie a togo man will dispute this ur lies same with dahomey ...we knew the dahomey female warrior delt with oyo army mercilessly same with nupe and fulanis.... Boost on other people territories let them hear about this and the whole africa will tag yorubas lie lords ...of africa .... Oyo in actual truth ruled only his fellow brothers who were not totally sumited to the alafin rule The comming of the empire was more of social contract rather than war the war they went outside thier brothers they lost .....any fact behind are fic Go online research Dahomey kingdom was under oyo empire before their independent when oyo collapses through internal feud Atakpeme is in Togo That's the reason Togolese love to migrate to western region even take on Yoruba names is because of cultural similarity |

[quote author=gregyboy post=67463401][/quote]From river Niger to upper Volta river ..The ruler of River Niger to upper Volta river in togo Alafin prides himself on that fact ..is a written record documented by scholars in African history. Oyo was an Empire ..Oyo crushed ashanti army in atakpeme togo ..Do you read history books ..To the north Oyo ruled Bida bariba even nupe they were under his tributaries go to Niger state they still speak Yoruba fluently Hausa were used as slaves in Oyo ..southern west region Dahomey ,ewe,fon allada ketou badagry , Togo were ruled by Oyo alafin Aktapeme were all under great Oyo empire...Oyo empire didn't encompass all Yoruba speaking region of Nigeria... Oyo empire moved far west than stay in south west region of NIGERIA..Benin ruled much of Ondo and Ekiti not by war "NOT BY CONQUEST BY THE FACT OF HISTORICAL LINEAGE OF ODUDUWA L .. Most monarch in ondo has lineage from Benin up to Lagos ..land of the aworis they made prince Ado OF BENIN their king on his trade expedition to Ghana Because they see Prince Ado as omo Oduduwa not different from them |
