In 1969 the Biafran Head of State Lt. Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu issued a series of coins of denominations 3d, 6d, 1 shilling and 2/6 shillings, all struck in aluminum. These coins are rare coins as they did not circulate much before the end of the civil war in January of 1970. In the last 7 years I have been in search of the coins. Determination they say is success. As we have only the 6d left. Pls, if u have the Biafran 6d, reach out to us to talk details. I love history.

If you have seen the movie, 'The Woman King', where the ‘Agojie’, an all-female army of the West African kingdom of Dahomey fought and defeated the Oyo Army in 1823, in a battle that was led by General Nanisca, leader of the Agojie. Back then in the 1800’s it was said that the Dahomey Amazons, used Voodoo power because of their dexterity and winning style. That war took place at the sight behind me as you can see in this photo.

As at the time of my visit, the remains of the fence of the Oyo Empire still stood in what is now like a forest in Okuta Kingdom. In this photo, I am standing on the top of Mount Brabakani, 1550 feet above sea level in Okuta Kingdom, Kwara state Nigeria, the back ground you see is Benin Republic the old Dahomey Kingdom.

The mountain also harboured the Armoury of the West African Frontier Force (WAFF). The force was a substantial military force, a multi-battalion field force, formed by the British Colonial Office in 1900 to garrison the West African colonies of Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone and Gambia. At the top of the mountain is an armoury measuring about 30/30 meters. It was a defence point against attacks from the Fon Kingdom of Dahomey in the modern Republic of Benin. Until 1894, when King, Béhanzin, was defeated by the French, and Dahomey was annexed into the French colonial empire, Dahomey remained a pain in the neck of Oyo Empire.

When I descended from Mount Brabakani, I walked down to the village of Yakparu still in Okuta Kingdom which is just about 300 meters to Benin Republic. Part of Yakparu village is said to have been claimed and almost annexed by the people of Benin Republic, the inhabitants are worried that their case may end up like the case of Bakasi in Southern Nigeria that was handed over to Cameroun.
I love exploring (Photo credit: Ikemsinachukwu James)
