Concept:The Ekiti Parapo was a military alliance formed by Yoruba groups to resist dominance.
Explanation:By the nineteenth century, Ibadan had grown into the most powerful Yoruba state.
Its control over other Yoruba towns and states became harsh and unpopular.
Ekiti towns and other subjected communities therefore came together to form the Ekiti Parapo.
Their main goal was to oppose and reduce Ibadan’s oppressive authority.
They did not primarily aim at checking European influence, restoring the Alaafin’s dignity, or forming a federation.
Hence, the alliance was mainly a struggle against Ibadan’s political and military power.
Answer:C. reducing the powers of Ibadan.
