Abstract: | Objects of this essay: 1. to provide a simple chronicle of 19th century Nupe military and political activities in North-Western Yorubaland and Afenmai, and to relate them to the history of the central Nupe kingdom (Bida). This includes a brief description of Anglo-Nupe relations in the last decade of the 19th century by way of explaining how Nupe activities south of the Niger were curtailed and them halted altogether; 2. to outline the forms of administration by the Nupe in North-Eastern Yorubaland and Afenmai; 3. to suggest some of the most enduring effects of the years of Nupe hegemony.
