bonjovi787: I am not "black" I am mixed race of Igbo & English heritage. I don't know why you people love to over exaggerate Benin's scope of influence. Perhaps a small minority of independent Igbo villages west of the Niger paid tribute to the Oba's its likely, but the Igbos were not a united entity. Talk case specific and stop saying Benin ruled everyone and their ancestors abeg ![]() Next you will tell us that the ancient Egyptians also paid tribute... What Benin Empire?!?!? It was a kingdom get a grip man. lack of firepower is no excuse for lack of resistance, Benin folded in 9 days... 9 freaking days Anglo-Xhosa wars took 100 years to finally conclude. The Anglo-Ashanti wars lasted for 76 years, ending at the beginning of the 20th century. The Zulus wiped out the British at Isandlwana, worst defeat by the British at the hands of an inferior foe. Anglo-Aro war lasted 1 year & yet the majority of Igbos still resisted British conquest. Ekumeku resistance fought the British for 31 years. Benin had many warriors but their tactics, superstition and leadership caused their quick demise. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Abovebonny: That u fought them for long doesn't depict strength... The Igbos as I've heard used guerrilla tactics against the British as against the Benin who came out openly to face the British who were coming straight to their land The Benin routed an entire column/unit at gwato... I don't know why u think Benin gave in easily... According to reports, it was noted that they got to Benin after 10 days of bitter fighting.. This could be due to that the British already knew the route to Benin that they couldn't be easily diverted unlike the Igbo lands That France gave in easily to Germany in World war 2 doesn't mean they are weak |

PORNeIlusHUBson: The only Empire Nigeria ever had was the Sokoto Caliphate... So no Oyo was not an empire by any means. Look at the map and tell me Sokoto was not an empire? And that Oyo and Benin were not Kingdoms...

Etinosa12345: I never said they were weak militarily, but they did not put up fierce resistance against the British as their government was too centralised, so once Edo fell the entire kingdom crumbled. Facing the British in open battle is just as stupid as facing the Romans in open battle. Yes, France was inferior to Germany in WW2, the French had many soldiers and artillery but they could not stand up against the German tank's blitzkrieg across the Ardennes Forest and straight into Paris. 1 Like |

Abovebonny:The British came through ughoton which was close to the capital... It was only a matter of time before they reached the capital at a short notice to the Oba Also, for the Benin to have routed an entire column explains that the fighting was a bitter one..... It was just lack of unpreparedness on the part of Benin... The popular exploits of Asoro is a clear sign that Benin were no walkover even tho they lost the war It was not possible to plan a guerrilla warfare in such a few days of notice... There was no other option than to face them openly... Same as Benin... Benin was inferior to the British.. and used local guns as opposed to the superior firepower of the British... If all things were equal, the British wouldn't have won and they won't even have any Empire in Africa in general... The World wars clearly showed it |

Abovebonny: Why are you being mischievous? Where did you take the screenshot from? And why is your false representation of Sokoto calipate including parts of Yoruba land and other Middle belt minority kingdoms? At what point in history does your false picture depict? Did you know at some point in history the Dahomey kingdom your picture excluded from Oyo Empire, was a tributary to Oyo itself? And what is parts of Kwara doing in the picture? And can you provide documented proof of the so called "Aro confederacy" you smuggled into the picture? Thank you in advance. 1 Like |
