Culture / Re: Dahomey Women Warriors - Nigerias Deadliest Fighting Force! by olumidaie(m): 11:10am On Aug 20, 2013
Nice article with so many mistakes. The dahomey amazon never made up to 50% of the dahomean force, but between 20-30%. At its peak, Dahomey had 25,000-30,000 soldiers not 12,000 as you inplied; while the amazon numbered over 6,000 at their peak.


Also, the entire Benin Rep was never under the Dahomey/Fon. Bariba, for example, in northern Benin never had confrontation with Dahomey. The clans that fell to dahomey were Adja(Allada, Ouidah); Yoruba(Ketu, Anago, Sabe, Ohori). Nothing more. Only a few Egba towns like Ado Odo fell but were recovered.


The Oyo-Dahomey war was Oyo's attempt to resubdue Dahomey. Besides, you forgot to include the Egba-Dahomey slave raid and wars(4 in number). 4,500 of the amazon were killed at Abeokuta in 1861. Also, by 1875, the Dahomey forces had a 40% larger force than Egba at its peak was reduced to few thousands in Egba counter-offensive. Two years later, Egba, now a mightier force was involved in kirigi war with Ibadan. Dahomey slowly regained its strength and by 1893, Dahomey force had grew to 12,000(of which 2,000 were amazons) in the French-Dahomey war. Thanks to the superior weapons and machine guns; the French were victors against one of West-Africa most powerful armies.


Mind you; the Egba wouldn't have been successful especially during the Lagos gov blockade in 1867 and the ongoing confrontation with Ibadan; but thanks to the large number of canons at her disposal, some Owu soldiers(though not significant), and of course, MADAM TINUBU, who used her wealth to buy arms and provide food for the Soldiers.

Also take note, not all Yoruba outside fell to Dahomey: Dassa, Popo, Isha and the Yoruba in Togo.


The Dahomey amazons were true heroes who were feared by brave men and soldiers. I would post the sources later. Besides I did the history in school; so I myself, am an authority in this.

Sanguine:

Youngman, did you do your A'level in the EAC?
Do the first things first... Do the online Jamb registration. Then u'd have to go submit the online printout (u'd see the instructions on the printout) to the nearest JAMB office...
As for your transcript, all you need is your Cambridge Result, your cambridge statement of Entry, your O'level result...and ehmmmm... I guess That's all.

#clears throat# ...if I may ask, how was your grades? I'm guessing you did oct/nov...
lol @ education advance center. It was only a stone throw from my school. I wldn't state my school but u certainly know its between gcc and afe babalola

i did mine last year may june and I had more that the points to get addmitted for law; but by 22nd(the time I went to submit) it had already ended. So this year, I'm making sure I wouldn't miss out. I am also doing the ilorin own as second choice, and I surpass the cut-off mark for their de-utme

when did u do ur exam , eac, cos I had friends dere dat took may june and oct nov, u may be one. Just call me on 08187172129

Alpet: . What u need to do is dat, u go to a court (magistrate or high) for affidavit, d affidavit will bear ur real name and back it up dat it was mistakenly spelt as 'd wrong name'. U go along with ur birth certificate/age declaration nd a token. Let me say it can affect d admission after u've bin admitted, clearance stuff nd even graduation tinz later, what happen is knw as 'impersonation and forgery'. If u re able to do it cum back to let other pple knw.

quadri80: pls do u mean even if 2nd choice aspirant score above d cutoff admision not secure?


emm.......something similar to that.


I that got 10 points with 68%, but with a SECOND CHOICE, am not yet sure of admission!


If ur course is Law, pharmacy or medicine, or those top-notch courses, there are less chances. But for others, it doesn't really count.


Which course did u chose, besides, u ca give me a call on 08187172129.
