Sango, a being with supernatural strength.He married to five women, Osun, who turned in to water in Osogbo; Oya, who turned to Igala in Ile ra; Oba, who disappeared in Odo Oba, Awa and Gambiolu. Sango was a strong warrior becoming a symbol of power and truth, serving as the supreme judge in the Oyo Empire and being the final court. His OSE, representing two axes, was a symbol of justice. Being the king of Justice and not understood by his people, he decided to hang himself in a tree called Igba, but his friend Aladekun discouraged him to proceed. By this decision he became OBA KOSO, which means the king NO hang on the tree. He disappeared in to the earth leaving behind his crown and one Edun Ara (Oni epon lara) taken from his body, which was given to Aladekun to invite him anytime the town was in need. Aladekun became the support of Oyo anytime the town was in need, being called Oni le ogba, which originated the contracted word Mogba. Nowadays , Mogba is still in Koso in Oyo town with the power left from Sango as known as OLUOBAKOSO. Mogba Koso till today is the High Chief, who crowns all the Alaafins and the custodian of the Alaafin's crown. All Alaafin's are called "omo ekun" the son of a tiger, which name derived from Sango. "Sango was discovered dead as a child and when the corpse was thrown into the bush the tiger nursed him as one of his cubs." This was an origin of calling all Alaafins" omo ekun" the son of a tiger.

Influence of the British Empire on the territories which now form Nigeria began with prohibition of slave trade to British subjects in 1807. The resulting collapse of African slave trade led to the decline and eventual collapse of the Oyo Empire. British influence in the Niger area increased gradually over the 19th century, but Britain did not effectively occupy the area until 1885, and then under pressure of competition from France and Germany. The colonial period proper in Nigeria lasted from 1900 to 1960. In 1900, the Niger Coast Protectorate and some territories of the Royal Niger Company were united to form the Southern Nigeria Protectorate, while other Royal Niger Company territories became the Northern Nigeria Protectorate. In 1914, the Northern and Southern Nigeria Protectorates were unified into the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria while maintaining considerable regional autonomy among the three major regions. Progressive constitutions after World War II provided for increasing representation and electoral government by Nigerians. In October 1, 1960, Nigeria gained independence. Background (19th century) Abolition of the Slave Trade In 1807 the Parliament of the United Kingdom enacted legislation prohibiting British subjects from participating in the slave trade. The decrease in trade indirectly led to the collapse of Oyo Empire. Britain withdrew from the slave trade when it was the major transporter of slaves to the Americas. The French had abolished slavery following the French Revolution, although it briefly re-established it in its Caribbean colonies under Napoleon. It sold Louisiana to the United States in 1803, the same year that it gave up on trying to regain Saint-Domingue. By the end of the Napoleonic Wars, it ended slavery in its possessions. Between them, the French and the British had purchased a majority of the slaves sold from the ports of Oyo. The economy suffered from the decline in the slave trade, although considerable smuggling of slaves to the Americas continued for years. The political troubles in Oyo came to a head after 1817, when the transatlantic market for slaves increased but, rather than supplying slaves captured from other areas, Oyo was invaded and its people taken into slavery. Commodity trade The development of "legitimate" trade was the final phase of private and official British efforts to create an alternative to the traffic in slaves. Earlier elements related to this were its founding of the colony at Sierra Leone in 1787 as a refuge for freed slaves, the independent missionary movement intended to bring Christianity to the region, and programs of exploration sponsored by learned societies and scientific groups, such as the London-based African Association. The principal commodities of legitimate trade were palm oil and palm kernels, which were used in Europe to make soap and as lubricants for machinery, before petroleum products were developed for that purpose. Although this trade grew to significant proportions—palm oil exports alone were worth £1 billion a year by 1840—it was concentrated near the coast, where palm trees grew in abundance. Gradually, however, the trade forced major economic and social changes in the interior, although it hardly undermined slavery and the slave trade. The incidence of slavery in local societies increased. Initially most palm oil (and later kernels) came from Igboland, where palm trees formed a canopy over the densely inhabited areas of the Ngwa, Nri Kingdom, Awka, and other Igbo peoples. Palm oil was used locally for cooking, the kernels were a source for food, trees were tapped for palm wine, and the fronds were used for building material. It was a relatively simple adjustment for many Igbo families to transport the oil to rivers and streams that led to the Niger Delta for sale to European merchants. The rapid expansion in exports, especially after 1830, occurred precisely at the time slave exports collapsed. The Igbo redirected slaves into the domestic economy, especially to grow the staple food crop, yams, in northern Igboland for marketing throughout the palm-tree belt. As before, Aro merchants dominated trade in the hinterland, including palm products to the coast and the sale of slaves within Igboland.

Top Amber, If You Could Read My Mind

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind, yeah
If you could read your mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part
Where the heartache comes
The hero would be you
Heroes often fail
Never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind
If you could, if you could
If you could, if you could
If you could read my mind
If you could read my mind
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
And when you reach the part
Where the heartache comes
The hero would be you
Heroes often fail
Never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back
If you could, if you could

In my heart of hearts lived a lonely soul
Searching for someone who can make me whole?
Then I found you, I found you
Like an endless thirst that makes a desert cry
Tears of joy when I looked in your eyes

You heal me, you feel me
Like a stranger yet someone
I once knew, I found myself in you
You shield me reveal me
You're the other half of me
It's true I found myself in you
The breath of life that you breathed into me
Is a hunger craved for eternity?
I am bound to you, I am bound to you
You heal me, you feel me
Like a stranger yet someone
I once knew I found myself in you
You shield me reveal me
You're the other half of me

No longer lost now I believe we found
Our sacred, sacred ground

I once knew I found myself in you
You shield me reveal me
You're the other half of me

Top Amber, The Smile Of My Child

"Your hair shines like gold" says my child
"You are pretty old" says my child
And I think to myself how I used to be
There's another wrinkle that I see
Then he takes my hand and smiles at me
Chorus:
The smile of my child makes me realize that I'm alive
The smile of my child makes my life worth living
The smile of my child is a reflection of my life
And an endless source of love, an endless source of love and giving
"You are so nice" says my child
"You are so wise" says my child
And I think to myself how it's going to be
I see so much bad news on TV
Then he takes my hand and smiles at me
Chorus
You are so beautiful when you dance and smile
And even though you are so small
I want to be everything for you
My beautiful child

Woah, amber is the color of your energy

You glide through my head blind to fear and I know why
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, shades of gold displayed naturally
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, ahades of gold displayed naturally
You live too far away, your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily, sometimes you've got to fight
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, shades of gold displayed naturally
Launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy
Still, it's fine from afar, and you know that
Woah, brainstorm, take me away from the norm

Top Amber, You're Sent From Heaven

Right on time somebody passed my way
And suddenly there was that smile baby
Like a sunset
You open up my eyes
So that everything was clear
And to my big surprise
I'm feeling so alive, I'm feeling so for real
Something beautiful, inescapable has happened to me
Chorus:
You're sent from heaven
I know that you're from heaven baby
You're sent from heaven
I know
(I need you right here 24/7)
Fantasies are running to my mind
Unspoken words that love'll say
You give me wings and you make me fly
You touch my hand and I can touch the sky
I lost my faith and you give it back to me
Magic every time cause I feel so right when you look at me
Chorus
You're the light in the dark
Every time I am around you you fill up my heart
Without you I'm a woman alone
Holding on to nothing but our love is strong
We're holding on
You're sent from heaven
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
You're sent from heaven
Oh I can see it, I can see it, I can feel it
I can see it in your eyes, see it in your smile
All the things you do if you only do
I can see it in your eyes, see it in your smile

Top Amber, If I'm Not The One

I listen to the words you say slowly striking me as lightning
Whatever seemed to be so safe fell down like a house of cards
Tell me that I'm dreaming why did you talk about love
When you've never really loved me, I lose it from desperation
This feeling, so frightening that you and me will never be
If I'm not the one don't expect my heart to understand
If I'm not the one the diamond sky is dark again
My sense is gone and done if I'm not the one
The frigidity drives me crazy I am almost going insane
Your words keep running through my head
What more can I do than cry? Life will never be the same
If I'm not the one don't expect my heart to understand
If I'm not the one the diamond sky is dark again
My sense is gone and done if I'm not the one
Can't we get back again?
I can't let love slip through my hands oh, no
Can't we get back again?
If I'm not the one don't expect my heart to understand
If I'm not the one the diamond sky is dark again
My sense is gone and done if I'm not the one
If I'm not the one don't expect my heart to understand
If I'm not the one the diamond sky is dark again
My sense is gone and done if I'm not the one
If I'm not the one don't expect my heart to understand
If I'm not the one the diamond sky is dark again
My sense is gone and done if I'm not the one

Top Amber, Love One Another

Everybody needs a little tenderness
Everybody needs a release
From the cell they lock themselves in
Love's the only peace
Everybody needs, everybody cries
Everybody bleeds, everybody dies
Everybody dreams, everybody wakes
Everybody makes mistakes
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
Love one another
It's easier to walk away
When you've got a wounded pride
But when two people stand together
That's how they heal inside
Try to understand, open up your heart
A fist is just a hand, it can come apart
Let go of the past, let go of the fight
Forgiving fills the world with light
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
Love one another
Love one another
We were given a world so beautiful
A deep ocean, a blue, blue sky
I know we can make it a better place
If only you and I
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
Love one another
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
Love one another

Top Amber, Dirty Thoughts

The thought of you
The thought of me
The thought of her
Such insanity
The thought of fears
The thought of pain
The thought of tears
Like cold and endless jagged rain
Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Of dirty thoughts
I think alone
I think of trust
Of an unknown zone
The feeling of unjust
I think of dark
And blind emotion
Of dying sparks
And drowning in a sea of oceans
Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Of dirty thoughts
Dirty, dirty thoughts
I wish I wasn't so insecure
Wish my mind was clean and pure
And free of
And free of
Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Of dirty, dirty thoughts
Dirty, dirty, dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off

Without you, without you
Without you, without you
Living in my memories
As if the world stopped turning
All my feelings so exposed
As if emotions are burning

As if I hear your voice
But I do have to realize
Acceptance means no choice
Without you, I have lost myself
Without you, I am lost for good
Without you, I am crying, baby
Without you, I would change it if I could
Without you, without you
Without you, without you
Fear fills the emptiness
That I have inside of me
Time is not standing still
Only you can set me free
Every day I see your face
Whatever I do, you're here
I can't take it anymore
'Cause you still live in me
Without you, I have lost myself
Without you, I am lost for good
Without you, I am crying, baby
Without you, I would change it if I could
Every day I wonder where you are
(Where you are)
Where could you be baby?

Top Amber, Crucified Solitude

When I open my heart and felt around me
Everything has changed
I stumbled and fell
Touched heaven and hell
And I felt so estranged
What and when and how
Does my head allow
Suddenly something new
I just can't find myself
And the reason for that is you
Your divine
Divine within your soul
So divine it's the love I can't control
You're inside the dream I tried to hide
The answers to my whens and whys
Solitude was crucified
Crucified
Directed by me
Without any words
It completely changed
And without any thoughts
I switched all those parts
I feel so insane
Why is this so different?
Why do I feel bare?
Why do I change my views?
I just can't see myself
And the reason for that is you
Your divine
Divine within your soul
So divine it's the love I can't control
You're inside the dream I tried to hide
The answers to my whens and whys
Solitude was crucified
Crucified
Your divine
Divine within your soul
So divine it's the love I can't control
You're inside the dream I tried to hide
The answers to my whens and whys
Solitude was crucified
Your inside
I stand before my choice
To jump off or stay
Have to kick all my fears
I'm closing my past now
I'm not afriad of what I see
Your divine
Divine within your soul
So divine it's the love I can't control
You're inside the dream I tried to hide
The answers to my whens and whys
Solitude was crucified
Your divine
All the pain I had to bare
Was crucified
Since the day I fell for you
You're inside the dream I tried to hide
The answers to my whens and whys
Solitude was crucified

Looking for a broom
Looking for a place to hide

Still got three
Listening, listening
Nobody dares

Creeping down the hall
Trying hard to stall (no need)
Seeing all their shadows
Trying to hide my own (indeed)
Footsteps, footsteps
The rom goes dark
Yet i can still see
Kick, punch, kick
One man down
Still got three
Listening, listening
Nobody dares
I'm extra ordinary!
Sitting in my room
Looking for a broom

Top Amber, If There Is No Tomorrow

If there would be no tomorrow
What would you do if there would be no tomorrow
Imagine the future would just be your world
The sun falls asleep with the moon
Would you think differently for the moment
Any idea what you do
People if there would be no tomorrow
Would you be frightened of today
If there would be only one day left to exist
What would you do if there would be no tomorrow
There would be no tongue to respect the feel
Cause you have no other choice
Experience your dreams
To feel what they mean
Finally have a voice
People if there would be no tomorrow
Would you be frightened of today
If there would be only one day left to exist
What would you do if there would be no tomorrow
Tomorrow

Top Amber, Heavenly Proximity

Only in the colour of your eyes
On account of you, my love
It's feeling like a mystery
Always stars are falling over me
The sun explores my heart, the moon is dazzling
This heavenly proximity, it's thanks to you
A miracle has come along, goes through a proof
When you ???
I feel so strong
This heavenly proximity, my spirit's rising
When I talk to you and hear your voice
It's like the breezes whispering my name
You're right out to the might, your love, your nature
All the things are telling me
This is no illusion any more

Top Amber, Object Of Your Desire

I wanna be, I wanna be
Let me be, let me be
I wanna be, I wanna be
Let me be, let me be
You stand there to look at me
Showered by the rain
Entice me with your juicy lips
Impatiently insane
The burning of your craving look
And the voice of my heart
Freed the eternal sense of shame
That kept us apart
(Baby)
I wanna be, I wanna be
The object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
The water that quenches your fire
I wanna be, I wanna be
The object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
The woman that takes you higher
Seduce me with your brown eyes
Expecting me to come
I'm yearning for your hands to touch
Like a rose adores the sun
(The sun)
The burning of your craving look
And the voice of my heart
Freed the eternal sense of shame
That kept us apart
(Baby)
I wanna be, I wanna be
The object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
The water that quenches your fire
I wanna be, I wanna be
The object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
The woman who takes you higher
(The sun)
I wanna be, I wanna be
Let me be, let me be
(Baby)
I wanna be, I wanna be
the object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
I wanna be, I wanna be
The object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
The woman that takes you higher
I wanna be, I wanna be

Top Amber, Above The Clouds

Love lifts us up 2x
Remember the pain we put eachother through
Remember the tears you cried, I cried too
Remember how close we came, to giving up
Remember the heartaches that were destroyed
Remember the arguments, we employed
Remember the lines we drew, and the lines we crossed
If we had known it would be so hard,
would we have set out on this road together
Now when I look into your eyes I can see forever...
Chorus
We're flying above the clouds, so beautiful & clear
We're flying above the clouds, I can see happiness from here
Love lifts us up 2x
Remember the silence living in the dark
Remember the desperation in my heart
Remember how close we came, to giving up
We were caught up in our storm, I didn't think that we would make it
We have only stood our grounds, now the storm is breaking
Chorus
Sweet love, to a higher ground
Love lifts us up 2x
If we had known it would be so hard,
would we have set out on this road together
Now when I look into your eyes, I can see forever
Chorus 2x
We're flying so beautiful love lifts us up
There is so much happiness don't ever stop

Top Amber, How Can I Tell You

How can I tell you?
I think of how you feel and I think about your smile
I think of all the love you gave to me and how it passed me by
I?m very scared to let you know that it?s not as it used to be
And now I have to let you go you?re no longer with me
How can I tell you it?s over that the birds do not fly?
How can I tell you the truth that there?s no sun in the sky?
How can I tell you that the earth is not round?
How can I tell you? How should I sound?
How can I tell you that it?s the only truth I?ve found?
I think of all your trust and how you lived for me
I think of all the thoughts your thinking what you expect from me
I know that you will fall apart but I stick to the truth
I really have to follow my heart the voice within me
I avoid your eyes when they look at me
But I have to face truth and reality
I avoid your eyes when they look at me

Top Amber, Don't Wanna Stop

Slipping into a dream
I can't believe that you're right here melting in the rain
(Sparkling colors all over the sky when you're holding me)
Feel your sweet intensity I feel intoxicated
Don't wanna stop until I'm flying
Don't wanna wait until I reach the sky
Don't wanna stop until I'm flying
'Cause you know how to work me
I'm ready to go oh, oh
Come and lay me down
Sweep my feet off the ground enfold me in your arms
(Cover my body with kisses of velvet and reach for me)

Top Amber, Whatever

You’re were in the dark
You’re were in the pain
You were on your own
Living hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get any place
That I belong
Don’t want to lose the time
Lose the time to come
Whatever you say it’s all right
Whatever you do it’s all good
Whatever you say it’s all right
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
Heaven is on the way
Heaven is on the way
You were in the sea
On decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting cables sleep
Whatever you say it’s all right
Whatever you do it’s all good
Whatever you say it’s all right
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
Heaven is on the way
We’ll wrap the world around it
Heaven is on the way
Heaven is on the way
Whatever you say it’s all right
Whatever you do it’s all good
Whatever you say it’s all right
Whatever you say it’s all right
Whatever you do it’s all good

Top Amber, Yes.

Ohhh yeah
yeah
Saw him once in the hills
Water in the canyon
walked by the sun
I brushed up against him
Wildflowers on fire
And then I asked him with my eyes
To ask again (yes)
And then he asked me would I?
Yes, Yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes, I mean yes...
The moon rose in the sky
As we lay together
One second goes by
Then becomes forever
Come to you by desire
And then I asked him with my eyes
To ask again (yes)
And then he asked me would I?
Yes, Yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes, I will yes
Ohhh yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he could feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad

Top Amber, Taste The Tears

How could you cause me so much pain?
And leave my Heart out in the rain
After I gave you everything oh oh
Why did you have to tell me lies?
And put these tears here in my eyes
And push my world with your good-bye oh oh
You think that you're immune
But someday Baby someday soon
You're gonna taste the tears
Tears I cried right over you
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste the tears
Taste the tears
What did I ever do to you?
To make you treat my Heart so cruel
To make you make me such a fool oh oh
One day you'll notice what it's like
Someday someone will say good-bye
One day you'll be the one to cry oh oh
And when the things you do all turn around, around on you
You're gonna taste the tears
Tears I cried right over you
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste the tears
You're gonna know the pain
Same thing that you put me through
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste the tears
Taste the tears
Come taste the tears
Come taste the tears

Top Amber, Same Old Paradise

It's the way you touch me
It's the way you make me laugh
It's the way you smile
The way you photograph
It's the way that you kiss
The way you give back
The way you love me like this
Look at the beauty of that
These are the tangled words
Of our love that we both do untie
Same old ways
Same old spice
Same old paradise
This is the faerie tale
Of our love as a guiding light
Same old ways
Same old spice
Same old paradise
It's the way you look at me
The way way you call my name
The memories of us
A constant burning flame
It's the way that we grow
The way you understand
The that you think
Our footsteps in the sand
These are the tangled words
Of our love that we both do untie
Same old ways
Same old spice
Same old paradise
This is the faerie tale
Of our love as a guiding light
Same old ways
Same old spice
Same old paradise

Top Amber, Happy Ever After

There's that look in your eye, you can tell there's something special, (Yahhee) Oh, is there a problem, cause I got a solution, is there a melody that needs a harmony, cause I can write a beautiful duet for you and I to sing, anything that you need I will always be there, so tell me is there a problem, cause I got a solution, is there a melody that needs a harmony, cause I can write a beautiful duet, there's no need for solo's, everybody know-ohs, paint a perfect picture of happy ever after, and tell me what it’s like, are fairy-tales really worth fighting for, does happy ever after cease to exist, if so, then along will this, is there a problem, cause I got solution, is there a melody that needs a harmony, cause I can write a beautiful duet for you and I to sing, Oh whoa, is there a problem, cause I got solution, is there a melody that needs a harmony, cause I can write a beautiful duet for you and I to sing, there's no need for solo's, everybody know-ohs, paint a perfect picture of happy ever after, happy ever after, I’ve always pictured it as the sun setting down, as all stars arise we, ride away to a perfect place, but I guess it all might as well be a dream, cause only princes come to rescue the future queen, but right as prince charming rides on by, he’ll realize to open his eyes, and find, the girl he’s looking for, the one that he’s always ignored, but now she’s walked away as he awakes of his day dream
