Orompoto (also spelled: Oronpoto)[1] was the first female Alaafin of Oyo, also the empire's titled ruler.[2][3][4][5] The Oyo empire of which she ruled, is located in what is modern day western and north-central Nigeria.[6] She was the sister of her predecessor, Eguguojo.[6] She became the first women to become "king" of the Oyo, the first women since Yeyeori.[2] She assumed the throne because there was no male successor from her elder brother at the time.[7] She was a female regent that helped dive the Nupe from Oyo in 1555.[2] Orompoto lived in the 16th-century.[8][9] Orompoto was masterfully skilled on horse, this opened the door for her to create a cavalry force. The first of its kind, the cavalry was a force to be reckoned with in her time.[1] She was considered a skillful warrior and was known according to Oyo tales of her inadvertent victory at the battle of Illayi. While fighting her enemies, she lost three leaders of the van, called Gbonkas in Oyo. The third, however, fell with his teeth grinding and his mouth grinning, the enemies thought he was alive and was making a mocking gesture and were overwhelmed by what they considered their inability to wrestle with the Oyo gbokas. The enemies later decided to call it quits, with the Oyo later claiming victory. Orompoto used horses extensively in military battles and may have obtained them from Borgu.[10] Orompoto uses horses because of her ability on horseback. She was strong rider with the skills of a warrior on her horse.
