 Dahomey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Based in his capital of Agbome, Wegbaja and his successors succeeded in establishing a highly centralized state with a deep-rooted kingship cult of sacrificial offerings, including a heavy emphasis on human sacrifices in large numbers, to the ancestors of the monarch.
Nevertheless, Agadja was unable to defeat the neighbouring kingdom of Oyo, Dahomey's chief rival in the slave trade, and in 1730, he became a tributary of Oyo, though he still managed to maintain Dahomey's independence.
Even as a tributary state, Dahomey continued to expand and flourish because of the slave trade and later through the export of palm oil from large plantations that emerged.

Thus the staff represented the king himself and travellers' texts, confirmed by oral witnesses, state that when the staff carrier presented the object the same signs of respect had to be shown as if the king were there in person - people prostrated themselves and threw dust over their bodies.
