  1. I'm proudly Yoruba and I'm very interested in the military history of the Oyo army. Having served in the Canadian forces, I've come to take an interest in military history. What were the main weapons of the Oyo army ? I read about a double handed sword called the agedemgbe similar to the katana used by ancient Japanese army. What is the origin of the Shakabula? Many questions. Thanks.

  2. Can you please make a research on Oyo Empire contribution to British Colonial System. Did Oyo repel it or support it because I used to feel like British Colonialism found way in Yorubaland during the fall of Oyo Empire.

  3. Guy, yes Oyo empire was great in its own proportion but you need not exaggerations about the Oyo empires.
    True you really want to highlight the Yoruba culture out there, but as you exaggerate and paint as if Yoruba culture and all is 100% pure and excellent shows how shallow you are. The Ishakole was a case of Benin being a vassal state.
    For Gods sake, you heavily lied about majority of the towns and people asking for Oyo protection. The oyos fought and put these people into subjugation.
    My guy, you are always disjointing facts, making your narration so incoherent and uninteresting.

  4. To show how shallow you are, you could have used the term "ile Karoo Oji re" instead of Yoruba. Asides that the Ijebus were never under the yoke of the Oyos.

  5. Omon Oootu. Omon abinibi lori ilè anwon baba ounla babarè. Oman itan ilou è. Oni Kpokpo is today Grand-Popo. Baalè ni woun djè ni ilè Danxomey kon ni oba aladé.

  6. Amazon never fought again Oyo their ruler they only fought against french in support of Ibadan warrior invited by lokondo known as Benghazi and they defeated french and their Moroccan/Senegalese allies in battles

  7. And we are complaining that Oyinbo people are collecting "Ishakole" from us. I know this is ancient widespread practice that shouldn't be happening in this modern age.

  8. dont sugarcoat it, Oyo was trying to consolidate power and get land, they wage wars and took over territories and start collecting tributes, the became task master and even became greedy so much that they start to experience revolts. they had good and bad intentions. it is in their interest to protect those colonies or no more tributes. so dont make it look like they were saviors

  9. We need uour help…
    Accordingly to Torah
    Yoruba prophet are listed like this,
    Oyo,land of Rome(Oba Sango),ile ife land of roman(oba Alaiye lua)ijebu land is kanite(Eni tamu lati inu odu dudu, Oduduwa)Dahomey land of Awon omo sheriola know as Israel Joshua (E'su).ondo land of Judah(omishere moses)ekiti land of Timbuktu(Oba Ogun) Abeokuta Oya wind.pls can you confirmed this for us??? And Oba Aarony know as fi-ri-haruna
