Afonja rebelled against Oyo purely out of greed.

Ilorin was once a prominent trading post for the old Oyo empire with much of the empire trade being done with the Hausa kingdom to the north and Arab merchants via the Saharan trade route. Most of this trade centered around slaves, kola nuts, herbs, gold and finished goods from Arabia.

With the coming of the Europeans and another trade point opened to the south via the Atlantic coupled with higher pricing of the major commodity of that time - slaves, Ilorin quickly lost it's relevance and political dominance. The socio-political instability caused by the Jihadist Othman dan Fodio also drastically reduced trading between Oyo and the now conquered Hausa North.

Ilorin lost her economic edge and Afonja became ignored since his battalion had nothing to protect. Afonja was also sidelined in participating or partaking in the now lucrative slave trade to the south. This was enough for him to stage a treasonable act on his uncle who happened to have been the Alaffin of Oyo and who also appointed Afonja as his Generalissimo.

Afonja will woo rich Yoruba Muslims all over the empire to join him in Ilorin. The Yoruba Muslims began facing some form of discrimination in the hands of other Yorubas after the fall of Gobir to the Jihadist. Word had it that Hausa Muslims were the ones that uprooted their own King and elevated an immigrant scholar as their supreme ruler.

Afonja also sent word to slaves (who happened to be mainly from the middle belt and Huasa/Fulani ilk) in Oyo to escape to Ilorin from where he guaranteed their freedom.

On three occasions Afonja marched to Oyo Ile (the lost capital of Oyo) to effect a regime change but left after he was denied the throne by the king makers who saw Afonja as an usurper to the throne after he had his uncle (Aragongo) commit suicide by poisoning.

Afonja then decided the only way to claim the throne was to wage war against his own people. Most of Afonjas foot soldiers defected after a curse was placed by the Alaffin on anybody of Yoruba blood assisting Afonja in his treason. By the time Afonja invaded Oyo Ile most of his foot soldiers where either Fulani mercenaries or escapee slaves who had no qualms killing Yorubas in the most vicious manner. Some of Afonjas lieutenants and officers warned him of the unruly behavior of the Muslim soldiers but he did not listen as he was all set to claim the throne for himself.

On his last attempt at seizing power for himself, something happened that made the scales fall from Afonjas eyes. The Muslim mercenaries were hell bent on burning and sacking the capital and the wantom destruction and killings must have made afonja to give the order to his foot soldeirs to stop fighting. But the Muslims did not relent until they had burnt the capital to the ground and killed and raped to their heart's desire. Sensing that Afonja was regretting his alliance with the Muslim horde, the Hausa/Fulani mercenaries seized him and in the most humiliating manner and dragged him bag to Ilorin.

It was in Ilorin that the Huasa/Fulani gathered the Yoruba population to witness the most horrendous and disgraceful murder of Afonja who was stripped naked, flogged, mutilated and burnt to death.

Afonja was not only demystified by the manner at which he was killed but his people came to understand who now controlled Ilorin and just like that they converted en-mass to Islam.

Greed and wild ambition will be the end of Tinubu.


Come 2019, with or without Buhari being returned Tinubu will be annihilated politically.

This is factual history.

The truth, unlike lies does not care about hurting feelings.

If the truth is disturbingly bitter to swallow, then those on the recieving end are in total denial.

Denial, on the other hand is an evolutionary coping mechanism that every living thing on earth has adapted to cope with the harsh realities of survival.

If not for denial, the wildebeest would not graze nor procreate knowing fully well that behind that tall golden grass lies a predator in waiting.

Humans are also in constant denial of the truth. And just like the wildebeest that seeks protection within the herd, the human also has the herd mentality of coping with impending doom by hoping calamity does not befall him or her but those around them.

Truth produces denial which in turn gives way for blind faith.

Either way you look at it, nobody is ready to handle the raw truth, so they seek solace in sugar coated half truths or blatant lies.

Wow

These yannnnnmiiriiii mumus ehn! Deal with your own version of afonja that is even more despicable- ojukwu! Woman wrapper.
May you all wail on.

I never knew that loss of election can lead to psychiatric disorder and mental imbalance. Where can we lock up all IPOB miscreants for treatment now?

No ipob post is complete without death, destruction, doom, gloom and sorrow.

Death and destruction makes you people happy.

And you wonder why you people are always miserable, sad and dejected.

Then why are igbos queueing up to lick the ass of a fulani man? One old Igbo man was even crying upon a fulani man to fulfill his dying wish.

You want Tinubu to abandon a fulani man for your favorite fulani. Hates truly becloud reason.

You forgot obi. In their foolishness, they forgot obi is another afonja.

Afonjas:
MY PEOPLE HAVE NOT LEARN A LESSON FROM AFONJA, TINUBU IS OUR MODERN DAYS AFONJA.

Obi is our own version in Igbo land. It is so shameful to see an elder like nwabueze crying over the shoulder of s fulani man to fulfill his dying wish. We igbos have gone so low just to lick a dry fulani butt.

Why do you always blame and accuse the Igbos of what you are exponentially guilty of?

This thread is about Afonja's brutal end. And not a passing contest between you and your Igbo betters.

Stick to topic or gtfo.

The Igbos did not go to Atiku, Atiku came to them.

It doesn't even matter if Atiku chose an Igbo or not, what is important is that they identified with him as a bridge maker unlike your god Buhari whom you entered alliance with to destroy bridges and elevate you beyond your fallen status.

Idk why but this topic is hilarious

So it's about who came to who Lol. An Igbo man will always change the goal post. Never here nor there.

FYI, it was Buhari that came to Tinubu too after filling three times and the need to rescue Nigeria from the ineffectual buffoon and his gang of Igbo looters.

Wh are you Igbo's always accuse others of what you are guilty of? This topic is about afonja. And I'm pointing out all the afonjas in southern Nigeria since anybody who supports a fulani man is an afonja.

Btw, an Igbo man can never be better than me. I see them as inferiors right from my childhood. That's how I was raised. So quit your delusion.

Now stick to the topic.

Your mammy lied to you.

In what way are you superior to the Igbos?

I will really like to know Mr Yoruba

Please why do afonjas prefer brown roof, I was highly startled when I went to Oyo, what I saw was brown roof everywhere.

Oga Afonja can only come from Yeloba land, besides Igbos are entirely Christians so your point can never apply to Igbos. Igbo Amaka

Leave tinubu out of afonja story. Everyone gets what he or she gives.
