The Oyo Empire was a
The Oyo Empire was a monarchical one and ruled by a King known as the Alaafin. Alaafin means 'owner of the palace' in the Yoruba language.
However, an administrative and governing body, made up of chiefs (known as the Oyo Mesi), served to maintain a balance in power. These chiefs were headed by a Prime Minister called Bashorun who could request the king's suicide by sending him a calabash of parrot's eggs.
Of all the Bashorun in the history of the Oyo Empire, a certain Bashorun Gaa was the most popular. This Prime Minister was so remarkable because he successfully enthroned five Kings and then deposed four of them. However, his luck would run out with the fifth where he met his ultimate end around the year 1774. This is the full story of Bashorun Gaa. #HistoryVille
