The provincial chiefs who helped him defeat the tyrannical Bashorun Gaa had grown in power and the Oyo chiefs were more politicians than warriors. So, when the Oyo Mesi selected a provincial prince, Aole Arogangan to ascend the throne of his fathers, they believed they had an Alaafin they could control.
But Aole had different ideas and he sought to restore the glory of the empire and the supremacy of the Alaafin as its Emperor. In this however, his ambitions clashed with those of Afonja, the powerful provinical chief of war camp, Ilorin. Afonja had been promised the office of Aare Oona Kakanfo of all the Oyo forces by the Oyo chiefs in order to secure his support for Aole's ascension. He would stop at nothing to take what he believed was his by right.

In Afonja - The Rise, we tell their stories first as what they were - men and women living their lives, warring, scheming and loving in ways that will be familiar to the reader - beyond their roles as actors in the epic history of the great Oyo Empire.
