The Oyo Empire represented the height of Yoruba political and military achievement. At its height, it dominated vast territories in present-day Benin and Togo, becoming one of the most influential powers in West Africa.

We are one of the most self-sufficient regions in Nigeria.
We have abundant access to the sea.
We have lagoons.
We have fertile soil for farming.
We have hardworking and contented youths.
But...
We have people who believe we need others for survival.
We have people who believe in a sense of fairness that does not exist elsewhere.
We have people who are politically correct toward those who share no borders with us.
We have people who see Christians and Muslims from other regions as their brothers and sisters.
We have people who worry about what people from other regions will say about their actions.
We have people who protect outsiders when sons of the soil try to correct them.
We have people who smile sheepishly at insults, denigration, and backhanded comments.
We have people at the helm of affairs who try to manage the reactions of the sons of the soil rather than call out the excesses of outsiders.
We have people who play politics with the lives of kidnapping victims.
We have liberals as kings, politicians, religious leaders, and heads of organisations.
Which way, Yorùbá?
@odogwu_ogidi You people and negativity ehn.
Someone make a post that depicts, road so good a plane can land on it. Your only take is drug business move. Oh well.
@Ochaimo82@FinPlanKaluAja1@SEDCgov Because he was accused doesnt mean its true. I agree with Kalu, its one sided, Mark need to respond to the allegation. Also the media are not helping, anything and everything for clickbait
1840 was the year the Ibadan forces defeated the Sokoto caliphate and ended the Fulani Yoruba war for good.
I switched to 24hr time time setting so I can see 18:40 everyday of my life and be reminded that the mighty Sokoto lost to Ibadan.

@OurFavOnlineDoc Blame Tinubu jare...its much easier that way instead of asking why we do this. Isnt that what you people do? Always looking for who to blame
@jimibada@OzorNdiOzor Ask all previous presidents, what have they been doing that PBAT is not just addressing most of these issues. Yet we no rate am for cleaning up decades old mess.
