SlyDev:The Alaafin according to the picture started his tenure at 1914 but you said it was late 19th? So he time travelled? As for the naked aspect. You and I know that one anklet on an Igbo woman before the white men came can buy the entire Oyo and Ife. Fact 13 Likes |

BKayy: Capt. William A Ross was resident of Oyo 1914-1931 not the tenure of Alaafin. The palace was there before the tenure of Alaafin. Why is that ibos ancestors were naked and could not defend their land against igala and Bini? 51 Likes 4 Shares |

SlyDev:I don't argue nonsense. Everybody wished they had contact with Ndigbo. I am surprised you didn't ask the primitive Yoruba people at that time as part of the people that raided Igboland. That aside, Pictures speak louder than words. Between your Alaafin (1st pic) and one man walking on his own in Ogwashi-Ukwu (2nd pic) who looks more dignified or rich? From the first picture, you don't need me to clarify to you how the original Oyo Palace looked like before the white men built what the OP posted. 17 Likes 1 Share

Blackfire: That’s why they are called empires. They are powerful and expansive. Check the whole empire that have ever existed, they are powerful and they wage war, seize lands, and oppress such that you can’t challenge them until when you can overpower it. 35 Likes 2 Shares |

SlyDev:I am telling you. Civilisation actually evolved in Yorubaland and extended to other parts of Africa. We did not just have those brown roofs in Ibadan, the former largest city on the whole of the African continent . At the time when those roofs were reigning, 99 per cent of the roofs in Niger Area ( which later became Nigeria) were covered with bamboos. Unfortunately, we lost our space to foreigners from other parts of Africa due to ijękuję awon oloriiwa. Our forebears weren't thugs. We were well organised and had our government, long before the invasion of the west. We were enlightened people. People used to come from as far as Senegal, Gabon, Sierra Leone Uganda, etc before the invasion of the west, to seek knowledge and skills on how to organise their territories. The Europeans once said Africa never had history but the same came to us and packed all our relics and artefacts away. Some ignorantly said here that our women never wore clothes, posting pictures downloaded from google, belonging to other territories in Africa to depict and describe us whereas the artefacts stolen from us wore clothes as carved and most of them were over 500 years old before they came to pack them away to their zoos abroad, centuries ago. Our son even became an attorney-general in one of the African countries for years. We had the largest colony in Africa. Our colony extended to Dahomey, now Benin Republic where I visit regularly. Some politicians came and introduced thuggery and all manners of character, then changed the narrative. Kanuris and hausas were Our slaves. One of them even later became a personal guard to Madam Tinubu who later became her husband. She was a powerful yoruba woman, a woman like a man. The guard's name was Saka and madam tinubu now changed his last name to Tinubu her name, a man bearing a woman's name...to describe how powerful she was. A Street was named after this man on VI...Saka Tinubu. Now, our politicians had sold our power and might to the Fulanis nitori ijękuję. Alale Yoruba maa bi gbogbo won. We will get our strength back for sure, sooner or later. 40 Likes 5 Shares |
