1837 CE

The Oyo capital is moved further south, to Ago d'Oyo, after the destruction of Oyo-Ile.

Alaafin Atiba seeks to preserve what remains of Oyo by placing on Ibadan the duty of protecting the capital from the Ilorin in the north and northeast.

He also attempts to get the Ijaye to protect Oyo from the west against the Dahomeyans.

The center of Yoruba power moves further south to Ibadan, a Yoruba war camp settled by Oyo commanders in 1830.

Oyo will never regain its prominence in the region.
