1 August 7, 2015 Kiriji War: The World s Longest Civil War by any Ethnic Group ( ) Presented by: Femi Ogundero Omolara Ehimen Damilola Araoye Olawole Oladeji
2 Introduction The Kiriji War, an epic battle fought by the Yoruba for 16 years, is believed to be the world s longest civil war by any ethnic group. The war, according to historians, was the fiercest tribal war among the Yoruba ethnic group of Southwest Nigeria and the Kiriji War, which ended almost 122 years ago led to the signing of a Peace Treaty on September 23, 1886.
3 How the war started Ibadan, a relatively new establishment that had the honour of filling the oversized shoes of the former Oyo Empire as the protector of the Yoruba nation against external attacks. But the military successes and wealth raked in by Ibadan in its military expeditions soon posed serious challenges. Like all global super-powers, Ibadan was said to embark on an expansionist programme that extended its reach to much of Yorubaland. It started appointing District Officers known as Ajeles to rule the conquered territories on its behalf. It did not take long for the Ajeles to transform into despots. They became corrupt and power-drunk, demanding ridiculous homage and exorbitant tributes. The Yoruba vassal states of Ijesha and Ekiti revolted and massacred the Ibadanappointed Ajeles. They formed a confederacy called Ekiti Parapo (Ekiti Brotherhood) and declared their independence from Ibadan.
4 How the war started Ibadan knew the dire consequences of allowing such action to go unpunished as it would encourage other conquered territories to declare independence. Ibadan wanted a centralized political system, with a central economy, a command military structure, a central administration and a forcefully united Yoruba Nation, while the other Yoruba subgroups wanted a decentralized structure, where all the federating units would be autonomous and would be able to plan their political future based on their own heritage. This led to the epic Yoruba war called the Kiriji War in 1877 when the Ibadan police, navy, infantry and artillery soldiers, led by General Obadoke Latoosa invaded the entire commonwealth of Yoruba nation, pummeled the sacred institutions, raided the markets and the deepest hinterlands and sought to proclaim a forcefully united Yoruba nation. Kiriji war is the longest civil war by any ethnic group ( ).
5 The Major Actors and Causalities Ibadan was led by its commander-in-chief, Aare Obadoke Latosa, while the Ekiti Parapo army was led by Fabunmi of Oke-Imesi. The Ibadan army pitched their camp at Igbajo while the Ekiti Parapo camped at Imesi-Ile. Somewhere along the line, Saraibi Ogedengbe (famously known as Ogedengbe Agbogungboro), the Balogun of Ijeshaland, became the General/Commander-in- Chief of the Ekiti Parapo army, and the appointment greatly influenced the turn of events, as Ogedengbe was a renowned military strategist. The war got its name (Kiriji) from the thunderous sound kiriiiiiiiiji of the cannon guns which the Ekitiparapo purchased in large numbers. The cannon gave them an advantage over the Ibadans. Ekiti Parapo enlisted several Yoruba tribes like Igbomina, Akoko, Egbe, Kabba and the Oworro (a Yoruba sub-tribe in Lokoja, Kogi State).
6 The Major Actors and Causalities... Lagos, Ijebu and Egba were said to have assisted Ekiti Parapo against Ibadan, seen by all, as a common threat to the Yoruba commonwealth. Ilara Mokin in Ondo State was said to have been the headquarters of the Ekiti Parapo secret service. Several Yoruba towns, such as Osogun and Ijaiye, were wiped out in the course of the war. Igbajo barely escaped total destruction. Eventually, Ibadan found itself fighting on five fronts. First, in the South against the Egba who confined their activities to raids and surprise attacks; secondly, against the Ijebu, in the same south, who pitched a camp against them at Oru under Balogun Onafowokan; thirdly, the main war at Kiriji in the East, where their forces fought a long battle against the Ekiti and Ijesa (Ekiti- Parapo forces) under the command of Ogedengbe; fourthly, at Offa in the north, where they faced the Ilorin Fulani who pitched their camp against the people of Offa (an ally of Ibadan); and finally at Ile-Ife where the Ife people joined the alliance against them in However, in spite of Ibadan's disadvantages in the war, these five forces could not effect its defeat. A state of stalemate was reached, from which only the intervention of an outside force could redeem the whole Yoruba Nation.
7 Deadlock in Peace Dialogue Attempts at mediation had started as early as All the traditional rulers were involved, but neither was trusted by the other. The Colonial Government in Lagos was under instructions from London and Accra to keep out of the conflict, even though the fighting was having serious effects on the economic life of the colony. After 1885 the attitude of the administration started to change. Firstly, there was going to be a change in the political status of Lagos which was later separated from the Gold Coast in Secondly, the scramble for Africa by the colonial powers was well under way (Berlin Conference), and there were fears of French interference. Thirdly, some of the main protagonists of the war were themselves getting tired of it.
8 The Treaty of Peace: Victory at last A ceasefire was arranged in 1886 through the efforts of Samuel Johnson, the historian, and Bishop Charles Phillips. The parties then signed a treaty in Lagos in the presence of Governor Cornelius Alfred Moloney of Lagos. This led to the independence of the Ekitiparapo towns. Although the peace treaty was duly signed and sealed, the war still continued until the Yoruba traditional ceremony (ritual) of ending a war was held at the appointed place on the battlefield.
9 The Treaty of Peace: Victory at last The following is the text of the treaty : Treaty of peace, friendship and commerce between the Alafin of Oyo, the Balogun, the Maye, the Abese, the Agbaakin, the Otun Bale of Ibadan; the Owa of Ilesa, the Owore of Otun, the Ajero of Ijero, the Olojudo of Ido, the Seriki of Ilesa, the Owoni of Ife, the Obalufe, the Obajiwo, the Obaloran, the Ajaruwa, the Arode, the Arisanre, the Balogun of Ife; the Ogunsuwa of Modakeke, the Balogun and Otun of Modakeke, the Awujale of Ijebu and the Balogun of Ijebu. 1.

21 Lessons learnt from the war It was a war of unification, which ended all manners of war and semblance of war in Yoruba Nations. Although, the war finally came to an end, but the primary aim of the War, which was to put an end to the Ibadan Feudal Lordship was achieved. The war restore the dignity of all the tribes in Yoruba Nation irrespective of their sizes. No Yoruba tribal group is superior to the rest. There is a need to co-exist in peace and put the past behind us. We must work together to build our Nation (Yorubaland). Agba jo owo lafi n soya, ajeje owo kan ko gbe ru d ori
22 Recommendations September 23 should be declared a Peace Accord Day in the Region. if the Americans still celebrate the American Civil War of 1861 to 1865, then Kiriji War, the longest civil war by any ethnic group deserves no less. The Treaty of Peace should be adopted as the signpost for conflict resolution in Yorubaland. The treaty of Peace should be designated as our own Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The heroes of the war should be celebrated as symbols of Yoruba Unity. There should be a yearly seminar on Kiriji War. There should be an epic movie to re-live the happenings during the period
