The Role of the Oyomesi in the Oyo Empire
In the Oyo Empire, the Oyomesi were essentially the highest councillors of the state. They were also the kingmakers. There were seven members of the Oyomesi, ranked in the following order: Basorun, Agbakin, Samu, Alapini, Laguna, Akiniku, and Asipa.

They also served as a check on the powers of the Alaafin, to prevent him from becoming tyrannical.Â
