The Ekitiparapo War among the Yoruba states

All-out war broke out in Yorubaland in 1877 when Egba, Ijebu, Ekiti, Ijesa, and Ife forces allied against Ibadan domination in the conflict known as the Ekitiparapo War. The sixteen-year war ended only with a British-negotiated peace in 1886, which the British used to gain a foothold in Yorubaland.
