Ijebu impeding Ibadan from trade and yet they need to ally with the Brits? Who really then was the trade starving Ibadan or the Brits? And if there were so invincible as you claim, why did they need to ally with the Brits?

Now let me tell you about facts, before the Brits, there was the Ekiti war that had Awujale Fidipote to send Balogun Onafowokan to wage war in Ibadan. That particular king was vehemently against the order of things then and wanted what was rightly due to him on his own land. That was how the Kuku name came into prominence. Ijebus were the first to start using arms which gave them an advantage over the rest of Yoruba land which saw even the Ooni send an emissary to Awujale Fusngbuwa when the Owu were pummeling the Ife, not Ibadan that you claim had a stronger military might. It was the Ijebus that help finish off the Owus which is why they are in that part of Ogun state today. The Ooni was about to lose his kingdom and it was the Awujale of that time that made Ifes not to tell sorry tales about what could have befallen their forefathers in time past.

To add to it, it was Balogun Kuku who sold arms to Ibadan and it was his turncoat that saved Ibadan from being pummeled further. It is all in history, please go and read up.

It may interest you to know, Ijebu was immuned through out the various wars that plagued Yorubaland not until the British came. Not Ibadan that was assaulted by the Alaafin and became what it is by the combined efforts of Ijebu,Owu,Egba warriors for it to stand as what it is today. There is even a district in Ibadan that belongs to the Ijebus as a result of the wars and you say they were invincible? Show me a place in Ijebu where any other tribe holds a district in it.

I have the links if you want.

We have Owus in Omu-ijebu and Ijebu igbo.

There's Owu ijebu and their king is Oba Segun Adesina


please don't forget to share those links

Gwaihir:


Those Owus are not the Owus of Obasanjo. Have you heard the Olowu of Owu stating how they got to their present location?

omofunaab:



Lol, what do you mean by Owus of obasanjo?

There are Owus everywhere except Ekiti and Ondo. .

The Owus in ijebu migrated there after the war just like the Owus in abeokuta, The Owus in badagry, Owu ikosi in lagos etc

Only Owu kuta in Osun state and Owu isin existed before the war.

There's an annual convention that brings all Owus together. . It's called Ruop, Royal Union of owu people

It was last hosted by Owu abeokuta in Ogun.


Get over all these wars that happened centuries ago

Outofsync:

Sorry but egbon, you have not refuted any point he made.

What use is your military when they conquer you without a fight. And you then brag that your army has never lost a war!


At least the ijebus fought. Why did Ibadan, home of great warriors roll over without a fight

Gwaihir:


Nobody is hung over it but it is insulting for someone to say Ibadan was never conquered when it was the British using one as a tool against the other. At the end of the day, aren't we seen as the same today? And the dude is talking about trade like the main trade in the Ibadan area wasn't about slaves! It was so huge that a woman grew so much reputation on her cruelty and her dealings of slave, speaking of Efunsetan here.

If it is the same Owu, it will be as a result of placating the displaced people not because they warred with Ijebu and took that place as conquest

omofunaab:




The Owus ran out of their heavily fortified city about 1826. They escaped through their southeastern gate in groups and entered their assailant territories through Ijebu Igbo and spread southward, settling in places like Ikija, Omu, Ayepe and other places. However, the main body of Owu escapees went towards the new settlement of Ibadan

@huntamania
. It is important to state that the present Orile Owu is the same place as Owu Ipole, earlier referred to, where Owus from Iwo and other places resettled in the early 20th century.

The main body of escapees from Ibadan marched across Ogun river and finally arrived at Oke Ata near Abeokuta where Sodeke and other Egba leaders persuaded them to settle about 1834. Again, Owu fought side by side with Egba in the Makun and other wars against Ado Odo and Dahomey in 1842-45. Owu contingents fought and routed Awori at Itori, Yobo, Ifo, Atan, Ota and also occupied those places till today.

Yes, Owu people had fought wars, won battles and settled in very many places between the Niger river and the sea (Owus in Lagos State; Epe, etc.), yet their main stream had settled among the Egbas in Abeokuta BUT, THEY ARE NOT EGBAS, neither are they lJEBUS. (See Johnson’s “History of the Yorubas, p.18). Owu settlements in Ijebu and Abeokuta were not as a result of direct battles or victory over them, but mostly on friendly terms.
