Gbekó

Gbekó was a kingdom that was thought to be invincible (like some Americans think of the U.S. today.) The Dahomeans, however, defeated its forces.
This is an excerpt from a Dahomean burial song of King Agongolo:

He who has money
And hoards all for the future
Of him I do not think well.
Remember that Gbekó, too, was destroyed.
