I removed the military history project banner. There is no reference to a military event, the operation to install Iginuwa in his own kingdom by the sea is described as to perform a sacrifice before the sea. The phrase "his decisions that led to conflict" has no further information to show any military action resulted. Donner60 (talk) 01:11, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
... that according to one account, a woman rebuked King Olua of Benin after the cow leg he gave her was so heavy that it knocked her down? Source: Egharevba 1968, p. 20. On one occasion while at Uselu, Olua gave the leg of a cow to an old woman who wanted meat. On her way home she fell down and was injured, and immediately began to insult the Oba, saying that she had not asked for meat which would knock her down.
ALT1: ... that according to tradition, King Olua sent chiefs' sons on what he called a seaside sacrifice while secretly making them subjects of a new kingdom? Source: Egharevba 1968, p. 21.
Overall: Article was promoted to GA status on 12 July 2026 and is 2,306 words (16,766 characters) in length. It is fully sourced, neutral and free from plagiarism, as verified by the article's GA review. The hooks are cited and interesting; I think the "according to"s could be trimmed for concision, but it's not a blocker. QPQ is done. Approved. Grnrchst (talk) 09:12, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
