Uh... throne of where? What dates? -- April

Also, this is a word-for-word transcription of the site http://www.concentric.net/~Jeffnaus/akaba.htm Do we have permission to use this material? Is it GPL-OK? A whole series of articles have been added by 200.155.66.*, including Ghezo -- Tegbessou -- Kplinga -- Agonglo -- Adandozan -- Agadja -- Houegbadja. Unless their non-copyright status (or permission) can be established, the content of all of these will have to be removed, though the titles will still be useful. -- April

I would be careful before removing all material, considering many sites mirror Wikipedia. Be sure that this is not the case before removing the articles. Lujack 16:27, 12 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

This is inaccurate information. According to I. A. Akinjogbin's chapter titled "The expansion of Oyo and the rise of Dahomey, 1600-1800" in Crowder and Ajayi's History of West Africa Vol 1. Akaba appears to have been king from the end of Wegbaja's reign in 1680 until his death in 1708. It was at this point that his brother, Agaja, became king of Dahomey. The king's that are referred to as his predecessors were not all kings of Dahomey. In fact, there were kings of Allada or Great Arda. Please revisit these articles as they are not completely correct and inaccurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.238.231.215 (talk) 07:26, 2 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
