The Yoruba fought the longest tribal w@r in World history from 1877 to 1893.

The Kiriji or Ekiti-parapo W@r was a 16-year conflict that broke out mainly between Ibadan and the combined forces of Ekiti and Ijesha. It was a war that ended all wars in Yoruba land.

''Kiriji'' was an onomatopoeic name given to the war from the thunderous sound of the cannons the Ekitis and Ijeshas, under the command of Ogedengbe, purchased in abundance which gave them an advantage over the Ibadan forces. However, it ended in a stalemate.

Thus, the Kiriji W@r remains the world's longest Civil W@r by any ethnic group.

In fact, the Yoruba are the only race in history who engaged one another in civil w@rs for 73 years (1820-1893) and still remain together as one tribe till this day.
