Thatโ€™s the doctrine. You must expand your land and conquer territories.

Igbo do not believe in kingship and empire. They live in communities without king. But did organize themselves whenever there was a common threat to various community. That was how Ekumeku warriors was formed to fight British imperialism in Igbo land. That was why igboland was nation that was colonized in Nigeria colonisation history

Abi, that's why one fairy tale book was busy shouting conquered the land, conquered the land as a real estate agent already assured/ promised them some lands.

My own curiosity is, why already occupied land

Let me explain what it means.

The Ekumeku War Movement consisted of a series of uprisings against the rising power of the Royal Niger Company of the British Empire by Anioma Igbo people. The British penetration of Nigeria met with various forms of resistance throughout the country. In the south, the British had to fight many wars.

Facts About Ekumeku Movement
Date 1883โ€“1914
Location : Onicha-Olona, Ogwashi, Igbuzo, Okpanam, Issele-Asagba, Ubulu-Uku, Obior, Umunede, Other Aniocha
Result: British victory after 30years
Territorial changes: Establishment of the Southern Nigeria Protectorate

Ekumeku is an igbo word but notable figures in that war were from Edo like Ologbosere. It was more of guerilla war, a resistance to British incursion after they raided Benin Empire

Every Empire listed there eventually fell. Emperors are oppressors and along the line there is internal and external resistance. No Emire came close to Oyo Empire when it comes to land grabbing and conquest covering almost 4 west African countries

Oyo calvary was sucking breast where Ekumeku warriors dey.

Most of Igbo societies did not have king. Ancient Igbo relied on Nri kingdom as their spiritual guiders.

Even Nri kingdom is not land grabber as old Oyo empire was. NRI kingdom had influence over all Igboland and beyond without grabbing land.

Do you that Igbo front Nri kingdom formed Benin kingdom later Benin formed oduduwa kingdom before the greediness led them to form Oyo empire or Oyo land grabbing
Re: Greatest Military Empire From Each Country by madridguy(m): 6:17am On Feb 06
Oyo calvary is not mate to anyone..
Re: Greatest Military Empire From Each Country by Slytiger: 6:21am On Feb 06
