OBSERVATIONS

 

This was a very popular question among the candidates. Many of those who attempted it were able to identify the areas of the overlordship of the warriors and scored good marks in (a).Although some of the candidates were able to list the consequences correctly in (b), they failed to develop their points and therefore gave skimpy answers. This deprived them excellent marks and consequently scored low marks. The following points were expected to be discussed to score good marks

          (a)          (i)         Kurunmi          -     Ijaye;
                        (ii)        Ogedengbe      -     Ijeshaland;
                        (iii)       Shodeke          -     Abeokuta;
                        (iv)       Latosa             -     Ibadan.

(b)        (i)         Many lives were lost and much property destroyed;
                        (ii)        there was the rise of new states and towns,  e.g. Kurunmi founded  Ijaye, while Shodeke, founded  Abeokuta etc;
                                (iii)          there was the rise of professional warriors e.g. Ogunmola of Ibadan,Ogedengbe of Ijeshaland etc;
                        (iv)       there was a change in the art of war due to the introduction of arms and ammunition to replace homemade weapons e.g. bows and arrows;
