KwaraRat:
Afonja rebelled against Oyo purely out of greed.

Ilorin was once a prominent trading post for the old Oyo empire with much of the empire trade being done with the Hausa kingdom to the north and Arab merchants via the Saharan trade route. Most of this trade centered around slaves, kola nuts, herbs, gold and finished goods from Arabia.

With the coming of the Europeans and another trade point opened to the south via the Atlantic coupled with higher pricing of the major commodity of that time - slaves, Ilorin quickly lost it's relevance and political dominance. The socio-political instability caused by the Jihadist Othman dan Fodio also drastically reduced trading between Oyo and the now conquered Hausa North.

Ilorin lost her economic edge and Afonja became ignored since his battalion had nothing to protect. Afonja was also sidelined in participating or partaking in the now lucrative slave trade to the south. This was enough for him to stage a treasonable act on his uncle who happened to have been the Alaffin of Oyo and who also appointed Afonja as his Generalissimo.

Afonja will woo rich Yoruba Muslims all over the empire to him in Ilorin. The Yoruba Muslims began facing some form of discrimination in the hands of other Yorubas after the fall of Gobir to the Jihadist. Word had it that Hausa Muslims were the ones that uprooted their own King and elevated an immigrant scholar as their supreme ruler.

Afonja also sent word to slaves (who happened to be mainly from the middle belt and Huasa/Fulani ilk) in Oyo to escape to Ilorin from where he guaranteed their freedom.

On three occasions Afonja marched to Oyo Ile (the lost capital of Oyo) to effect a regime change but left after he was denied the throne by the king makers who saw Afonja as an usurper to the throne after he had his uncle (Aragongo) commit suicide by poisoning.

Afonja then decided the only way to claim the throne was to wage war against his own people. Most of Afonjas foot soldiers defected after a curse was placed by the Alaffin on anybody of Yoruba blood assisting Afonja in his treason. By the time Afonja invaded Oyo Ile most of his foot soldiers where either Fulani mercenaries or escapee slaves who had no qualms killing Yorubas in the most vicious manner. Some of Afonjas lieutenants and officers warned him of the unruly behavior of the Muslim soldiers but he did not listen as he was all set to claim the throne for himself.

On his last attempt at seizing power for himself, something happened that made the scales fall from Afonjas eyes. The Muslim mercenaries were hell bent on burning and sacking the capital and the wantom destruction and killings must have made afonja to give the order to his foot soldeirs to stop fighting. But the Muslims did not relent until they had burnt the capital to the ground and killed and raped to their heart's desire. Sensing that Afonja was regretting his alliance with the Muslim horde, the Hausa/Fulani mercenaries seized him and in the most humiliating manner and dragged him bag to Ilorin.

It was in Ilorin that the Huasa/Fulani gathered the Yoruba population to witness the most horrendous and disgraceful murder of Afonja who was stripped naked, flogged, mutilated and burnt to death.

Afonja was not only demystified by the manner at which he was killed but his people came to understand who now controlled Ilorin and just like that they converted en-mass to Islam.

It's not a party thing, it's just what it is. Baseless!

The highest number of election abnormalities happened in Rivers. Probably, after the election, people like Wike and Secondus will be indicted.
