 Oyo
That the Oyo empire remained virile until late in the eighteenth century is tribute to the ability of numerous kings who, like the legendary Sango or Ojigi, the eighteenth century conquerer of Dahomey, were able to govern effectively despite the customary limitations placed upon their rule.
Apparently at the height of her powers, Oyo was in fact already overextended and began to lose strength when the royal line came under the domination of Gaha, the bashorun, or head, of the Oyo Mesi, who seized power in 1754 and held it until he was overthrown about 1774.
By the opening of the nineteenth century, Oyo was facing a protracted civil war which was to sap the energies of the Yoruba throughout the century, and which was brought to an end only with the British intervention in Yorubaland in 1893.
