Whenever Messi does something impressive, everyone is quiet because we are all used to it. It's normal for Messi to do magic. But whenever Ronaldo scores one goal, we all start mentioning Messi's name. It seems Messi is the standard Ronaldo is trying to measure up to.

Perhaps you didn't follow all the hype of first leg.

Like I told Kyase, fergie001, and Redblood01... It is better this way.

No point embarrassing themselves further in the knockout stage.

Europa is where this average team belongs, along with their naive coach.

Edumare bless real GOAT ororo Ronaldo

TAO11:
I’d rather be a proud literate, than be you — a proud ignoramus. Lol!

Interesting! I could have sworn that your so-called “simple question” was originally as follows:

“did the benin civil war stop Benin from being independent until 1897?”

And to which I responded appropriately along the same line of independence as follows:

“Lol. None of the two civil wars stopped either of them from being independent.

Their respective independence only stopped with British take over.”

In other words, my response was in line, direct, and relevant to the question — even though the question itself was of no relevance to anything being discussed.

Now, to answer your fresh inconsequent question, the Oyo empire fell from its imperial height in circa 1835.

But did the kingdom continue independently? Yes it did (although very, very weakened compared to what it used to be, and in a different location) until British takeover towards the end of the 1800s.

Similarly, after Benin’s civil war of 1699-1721, did Benin remain at its (relatively lower to Oyo’s) imperial height prior to British take over? No!

In fact, prior to the British take over of Benin in 1897, the following quotation shows the eyewitness testimony of Mr Cyril Punch — a British merchant who travels around the Yoruba country and Benin in the late-1880s and early-1890s:

“All the rest of West Africa that I know is squalid. Squalor is just the one idea that strikes one. Benin in the old days was more than squalid. It was gruesome. What the exact influence of the place was, or rather what the cause was of the influence felt, I cannot say, but the fact remains that no one who went there in the old days came away without being impressed.

•••

As a town, Benin was inconsiderable compared with places like Ibadan, Iseyhin, Shaki, Modakeke, and Abeokuta. There was no wealth, nor was there even power, except the power of the influence of fetish, and a sense of a spirit of a long past of atrocities, which of not supernatural, were at any rate unnatural to a degree which is indescribable. I remember the return of the return of two of Miller Brothers’ men from a visit they paid to Benin after I had been there. They arrived at Guatun one evening, and showed plainly on their faces the mental strain that their visit had been to them.”

Reference: Cyril Punch‘s Letters, c.1890; quoted in H. Ling Roth, 1903, p. vii.

Having said that, it is important that I add that the circumstances and period (two things) of the respective civil wars of Oyo and Benin are in fact universes apart.

The Oyo’s civil war was in the 1800s, while the Benin’s on the other hand was in the 1600/1700. The Oyo civil war was largely colored by religion (a most certain non-negotiable factor); while the Benin‘s civil war had no such coloration.

The Oyo civil war was closer to the period of British imperial agenda in the “Nigeria” region; the Benin civil war, on the other hand, was way over a century prior to British takeover.

A fair consideration of this background thus leads one to the clear conclusion that comparing the date of Oyo’s fall to civil war with the date of Benin’s fall to British takeover is not merely as comparing apples and oranges; it is in fact a meaningless comparison.
