The Oyo Empire was once one of the most powerful kingdoms in West Africa — a military giant that dominated trade, politics, and warfare from the 1600s to the 1800s.
In this episode of The Afro Chronicle, we explore the rise and fall of the Oyo Empire — from its expansion across Yorubaland, to its elite cavalry warfare, political sophistication under the Alaafin, and the internal conflicts that led to its dramatic collapse.
How did Oyo become a dominant West African power?
What role did the Oyo Mesi play in balancing the king’s authority?
How did trade, slavery, and regional rivalries shape its destiny?
