Much of Oyo's later success was due to its adoption of a cavalry force following the sacking of its old capital by the Nupes. Despite being the most powerful Yoruba state, It was only able to control Western Yoruba groups (Nago, Egbado etc) as well as other groups (Mahi, Dahomey) inhabiting the maximum extent of the West African Savanna. This was because horses were not as effective in Eastern Yorubaland (Ijebu, Ife etc) which was densely forested.

He was a despot who forced different alaafin that didn't get with the program to commit suicide at will until alaafin abiodun. 2. Alaafin abiodun was a prince of oyo not just an ordinary merchant and he was the one who finally put an end to bashorun gaa tyrannical rule

i feel that this was a good video although too easy on Abiodun. his coup mainly benefited the princely classes of Oyo while the traditional checks and balances which gave the people a voice were fazed out. this also had a direct effect on Abioduns successor who was even worse then him and weakened Oyo to the point of near collapse. Finally is Abioduns actions leading to a warlord like mentality which saw respect in whoever had the means to seize power rather then traditional sources of power a mentality which bled into the later civil wars. the oyo mesi families as well as the secret societies of the ogboni gave a voice to the people of Oyo and often had to force alaafins to commit suicide because they had become too coorrupt or greedy. i cannot find any redemption in abioduns reign other then it enriched the princely class he was apart of and whom almost solely benefited from a ramped up slave trade. even the supposed peace saw nupe borgu the Egbas all successfully rebel and badagary unsuccessfully rebel.

After reading everything Basorun Ga did, I think HomeTeam's framing of this video was spot on. Basorun Ga killed four kings in an incredibly short amount of time. There weren't checks and balances under Basorun Ga; he was the sole, check, balance, an executive, and people feared even the mention of him. It was a system based on fear and that is in no way a reliable system. Abiodun outstrategized him, and considering he just deposed a tyrant prime minister, actually made things more balanced than they had been under his past four predecessors, though still not ideal. Now, about the trades, Basorun Ga was crazy about going on a conquest to conquer neighboring people and expand Oyo. What do you think he would have done with the captive soldiers -- probably the same thing. So, instead of blaming Abiodun, I would still have to lean my blame toward Basorun Ga. When you are in a jungle, you have to adjust and play by the rules of the jungle, but who created that jungle? After seeing what Basorun Ga was doing, Abiodun had to be shrewd, but you cannot deny that it was Basorun Ga that created that jungle.

The bad had been done by Bashorun Gaha for having control over the Ilari, Ajele and of course the High Chiefs i.e. Oyomesi. However, the lower chiefs ( the high chiefs sit to on side and the other one sit to the left side...but never on at the same meeting) were opposed to Gaha's policies. After Gaha's demise...the empire was on its decline from the weakened check and balance system. Oyo was founded on the principle government of monarchy with check and balance system due to her troubled history. Let it be noted...the kings are all from a single dynasty since about 1100 AD.

Struggle for power between rulers and the ministers also happened in European history. However the culture of the Yoruba made it far easier for a ruler to be killed except in battle.

In each case the killing took place as part of a revolution to get rid of kings all together.

Our traditional fighters, quickly rallied round and thwarted them but the British helped them to retain Ilorin town, a kingdom under Oyo...till date, the Fulani dreams of conquering the Yoruba people, but as soon as they show their hands, our people respond by using their spiritual powers to cage and contain them....that is why they were dejected and scared of the formulation of the Àmòtékùn security forces that was recently instituted in Southwest Nigeria, to secure Yorubaland.

I belief when you know the truth we as people be more proud of our African ancestry. While at same time I like your honesty that there was not perfect which I belief we should stop blame white people all our problems.

I believe that there were some black people who were native to the americas but there isnt much information on that. They were either wiped out or integrated with other black people from africa. But they had more similarities to us than the other natives.

@@Rubix_P There is enough evidence according to white Canadian author Michael Bradly and Afro Guyanese historian Ivan van Sertima that Africans had sail to Americas before Columbus and even way before the Vikings. Way back to the Kush and Kemet civilizations. In 1969 a European from Norway had test his theory that is possible that Egypt (Kemet) could do it by sailing in papyrus boat from North African nation of Morocco across Atlantic ocean to Caribbean island of Barbados which he his crew survive.

Name is Abiodun...a proud descendant of the Yoruba
Alaafin Abiodun was not an Usurper he was a genuine Oyo Prince it was Basorun Gaa that Usurped the Power of 5 Alaafin and killed 4 of them

This History is twisted. Gaa was never a ruler. He was a Chief with great power (a Basorun). But he misuses his power to dethrone several Alaafin within a year. Abioidun was an Alaafin who later conquered Gaah. But the conspiracy started by Gaah causes weakness within the Oyomesi’s and eventual disintegration of the Kingdom. I am a Balogun BTW. We are the Oyo war lords.
