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. 3 Likes |
