War Lords can be described as “Balogun” in Yoruba Language. These are specially chosen people coronated and empowered to lead war fronts in Yoruba Land.

There are many positions of Balogun in Yoruba Land, and each wields a powerful command and authority. These set of chiefs are special entity themselves, like the modern militaries we have today. According to research conducted, Alaafin Oyo is the king which is in helm of ordaining any of these Baloguns..
