The Fulani had better Guns because of trans Sahara trade which much older than the Trans Atlantic trade which is came much later.

They lost because their horses were useless in the forest against Ibadan mainly gorilla fighters.

You either know nothing about the battle or being economical with the truth. The Fulani were armed with swords, bows and arrow and spears. In fact, Afonja was shot down with a hail of arrows. I'm always amused the way you Yorubas twist history. I've done a lot of research in African history from Moors invasion to Zulus and I assure you that you're wrong. Without European guns, the Yoruba stood no chance against the Fulani invaders because the Oyo empire had already declined. That was why Afonja could rebel successfully against the Alaafin.

You obviously drunk

Fulani armed with bow and arrow

Fulani have had better Guns from the middle East and North Africa even before most tribe in the south know the meaning of guns.


The Zulus unlike the Fulanis in the fringes of the North of Africa never had a single contact with Europeans untill the Dutch company Landed in Capetown in 1700s.

Firstly, you should get an understanding of what calvery meant.


Cavalry (from the French word cavalerie, itself derived from "cheval" meaning"horse" are soldiers or warriors who fight mounted on horseback

Calvery army meant Army on horses which were difficult to navigate tropical terrain.

Secondly, the writer obviously goofed because the Europeans don't have any strong imprint in Yoruba mainland as the time Fulanis were troubling the Yoruba land

Next time you want to argue please understand the concept of what you are arguing with.

You have no evidence? No link? No research? Nothing just the usual false narratives to twist the truth. Show me one proof that shows the Yoruba never used guns in the battle. If you have no evidence, I understand. You've searched the internet and found none. I see that your belief has been shattered because you thought the Ibadan fought like ancient warriors and won the Fulani. They did not. Even the fear your people are exhibiting presently is a reflection of the fact that without clear advantage, you have no plan of confronting the present menace until they subjugate and rule you. I understand brother, fear is survival instinct. But I'd fight a snake than permit it in my homestead where my children are asleep. Those weapons came from the coastal areas not Yoruba mainland. RESEARCH. The Europeans were already trading with coastal Yoruba towns by 18th Century.

Like I said on several occasions you seem to lack simple ability to comprehend.

Tell me where I said Yorubas never used a gun in the war?

I said the Fulanis struggled because of the forest terrains and the Yorubas were gorrila fighters whose method of fighting was best suited to their terrain

You were talking about Fulanis only using bow and arrow! please give me any link that categorically sated that Fulanis had no guns ? or you think Calvary army simply translates to "bow and arrow army"

Yorubas always had the local gun they called Sakabula "dane gun" as far back as 16century.

it came to West Africa through trans Sahara trade.

Afonja time is different from osogbo battle. Ibadan warriors fought osogbo battle and afonja was already killed before that

You keep spewing jargons. How come the same British didn’t help Oyo empire then before its collapse
Hope you know it’s part of those Oyo warriors then who formed the Ibadan we have today.
British never helped them in the war in osogbo in 1840.
Infact if not for the determination of Ibadan warriors then, they would have lost the war. So it has nothing to do with British

That's how you fail exams. Where did I mention British help? You should read before jumping to comment.

Lovely... where are the Yoruba "gorilla" fighters today? Have they turned to monkey runners?

Many of their decedent have left villages and gain western education.

But some of their decedent like Sunday Igboho are still very much alive, you are free to go to his house to challenge him.

Ogun state belongs to Fulani. Lagos is an igbo state. Argue with ur father

Bia nwa respect yourself..
