Yes, many Yoruba people are so light in complexion that the picture potrayed them as chalks in human form wearing olden days monkey (overall) white suits.

Google to read more of you peoples lies.
If you talk about Fulani Horsemanship, the durbar of Sokoto will remind you.
Durbar of Kano will.
If you talk about Tuareg Camel Caravan, anyone that have lived in the far North will confirm to you how we see them in daily basis.

So why is you peoples own audio?
Why do you have to post a picture of people on three horses, of which a white man was riding one and another white man was holding one that someone dressed in Fulani/Tuareg veil mounted?
I can't see any white man
Many Yoruba people are light complexioned grin

I will disgrace you like I did in that ironsi regionalism thread grin cheesy

You want me to post pictures of Apams services riding horses in Enugu to claim Enugu once had a calvary?

If you can't answer the question, don't confuse yourself more.

I don't know if you are blind or you deliberately chose to ignore the two white people in the picture. One was mounting down near the man with big hat. The other is at the far right
I can't see no white people cheesy

So you're trying to say that white people brought horses from Europe and taught the soldiers how to ride? cheesy

You're not half as smart as I thought grin

Madam please I want to understand something here.
When I went to Nupe land years ago, I met some Nupe people riding donkeys to farm. There it is common to see a Fulani Camel caravan because the Fulani live side by side with the Nupe people.
Same with Sokoto. On many occasions you see families known for their horsemanship. You'll see their horses being chartered for. Occasionally, we see Tuareg Camel caravan coming to trade in Nigeria.
In Borno, we saw rich families with their own horses.

So what happened to the Oyo or should I say Yoruba horsemanship?
Why is it that there is no trace of it in Yoruba land?


This is not about modernisation because even as developed as Dubai is, they still retain their ancient "falconry", camel racing and ownership.
So what happened to Oyo horsemanship?
They still ride horses in Ibadan and Oyo and have Calvary festivals
Stop talking rubbish out of jealousy
This is a public forum cheesy

LOL. You really want to compare your primitive people with those that literally wore money as clothes?

Like the Europeans noted "Igbo women are adorned with Ivory and copper bracelets and Anklets worth thousands of pounds"

That is millions of Naira for everyday clothing unlike you... What should I call you Yoruba people again?

There is that pic of teenage girls from Aro carnival you people like to post. The one they wear pounds of designed Ivory, copper and Silver. The girls are worth millions.

No be today we start to give black savages reason to hate
Igbo is not y'all mates

It was the British historians such as professor Robin Law, swayed by Reverend Samuel Johnson’s pretentious history of the Yorubas, that invented the claim that by the 1860s, Oyo had become the greatest empire in precolonial Nigeria. However, all the earliest writers of Yoruba history such as the Danmasanin Katsina and Sultan Bello in the 1880s, never mentioned of the existence of any Oyo empire.


The first Europeans to visit Oyo itself, including captain Hugh Clapperton and the Lander brothers never recorded that Oyo was an empire and neither did they speak of any great empire in the Oyo vicinity.

In 1668, Olfert Dapper described the Benin kingdom in details, but never mentioned any nearby great Oyo kingdom. However, the first documented mention of Oyo was two years later in 1671.

For hundreds of years, no precolonial European map mentioned any Oyo kingdom, let alone Oyo empire, even though the same European maps repeatedly depicted the Benin, Zegzeg, Borno and other kingdoms of those days.


More importantly, there has not been any documented evidence to prove that Oyo once conquered its neighbors into and empire. Dahomey, Akure, Ile Ife, Ilesha, the Owu, Ijesha, the Egba, Ijebu, the Ondos, the Owo, the Ugho, the Ekiti and a host of others, were never part of any Oyo empire.

Instead, in 1793, the Portuguese resident Archibald Dalzel, wrote as a living witness, that the Oyo kingdom was part of the Nupe empire, and was still paying annual tributes to the Etsu Nupes at the end of the 18th century.

The question we should ask ourselves is, how could Oyo have been one of the greatest empires in precolonial Nigerian history by the 1690s, when over one hundred years later in the 1790s, it was still a small kingdom paying tributes to the Etsu Nupes?

Is this supposed to be a question?
There are many lies parading themselves as history in Nigeria.
One of them is that Anna Pepple was an Ijaw man.
Another is the imaginary Oyo calvary which mysteriously dissappeared and left no trace of horse or horsemanship in not just in Oyo but the entire Yoruba land.

There was never an Oyo empire. All those things are lies.
Just say you are unhappy that you were still jumping naked when Yoruba were flourishing

Don't cry

You can't change history embarassed cheesy
