300 YEARS AGO THE OYO EMPIRE WAS AT ITS PEAK. YORUBAS WERE RULING NORTHERN NIGERIA AND A FINE SLICE OF THE WEST AFRICAN SUBCONTINENT. TODAY YORUBAS ARE NOT RULING ANYBODY. IN FACT THEY ARE BEING RULED BY THEIR FORMER SLAVES. WHAT HAPPENED? HOW DID THE YORUBA RACE FALL FROM GRACE TO GRASS? HOW DID THE OYO EMPIRE COLLAPSE? THIS BOOK CONTAINS A STEP BY STEP ANALYSIS OF THE MISTAKES MADE BY THE OYOS BEGINNING FROM THE FIRST OYO NEAR BIDA TILL PRESENT DAY OYO. IT SHOWS THE DISASTROUS MISTAKE MADE BY ALAAFIN ABIODUN IN THE LATE 1700S WHICH WRECKED THE OYO ARMY, LEAVING OYO WIDE OPEN FOR THE FULANI INVASION.
