Suru Speaks

Apologies for the background noise, I will look into the cause and rectify it for my next episode.

This is the final episode of this season and the final war which took years and there was no winner. There were smaller battles during the war. Tune in to get the full story. Thank you for listening. Till next time.

The War between the Ibadans and Ijayes with the help of some people

After watching Black Panther and The Woman King, I realized justice has not been done to our history in Africa, in Nigeria, in Yorubaland. So, I made this episode based on our history.

Perhaps, this is where it started.

This episode is on the War that sort of determined the fate of the Yorubaland and how the Ilorins' well trained army were strategically trying to gain Yorubaland one state at a time.

Ọmọ, I recorded the rest of this season when I was ill and trying to sort out a routine for myself. I need to learn to rest and not feel guilty sha. Any way, the War was fought to the point when only garden eggs were available. Garden egg is called Igba in Yoruba. You are welcome for the lessons.

It gets more intense as the Afonja is betrayed and Ilorin is lost to the Fulanis but is it a bad thing that the king is an Emir and not an Oba?

We never really know the full details of what happened in the past, we learn our History from what we are told. We can't blame people for choices they made when we were not there at that point in time, in their shoes, in their souls thinking, seeing, studying analysing, Choosing. We have our history from records over time.
