• Akpanigiakon to declare war remove "to"
• He propose → "He proposes" or "He proposed"
• Udo does not seem to have wikilink as Udo is disambiguation page, so remove the wikilink from the main body as it is not helpful.
  • also clarify what Udo is to minimize the tendency of the reader to google the term, i.e., the town of Udo. Given the importance of Udo, perhaps adding a bit more information about this town in the main body would help the reader.
• Merge the small (1-2 sentences) paragraphs if they are thematically similar
  • All paragraphs in the subsection "Conflict with Udo"
  • The same with the second and third paragraphs in "Historiography and debates"

  • Tradition credits Oguola with introducing or advancing brass and bronze casting in Benin.[1] According to widely circulated accounts, he requested a skilled artisan from the Ooni of Ife, resulting in the arrival of Iguegha, who became an early bronze caster in Benin.[1] Iguegha's designs were preserved by later craftsmen, and he was eventually venerated by brass workers.[1] The use of cast objects as historical records is also linked to Oguola's reign.[1] All the sentences rely on the same citation, meaning only the last one is required.
