We keep saying it that Yoruba history has been far linked to outside Nigeria since ancient times. Na colonization force Yoruba as if only in one place. Yoruba has been relating more with Mali, Niger Republic, Gambia, Guinea, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, up to Senegal, Morocco, and Mauritania before colonization. These were people Yorubas have been trading with and relating with before the formation of Nigeria. You find Yoruba trading goods in Morocco in the 1400s. Yorubas were in Mali, including Timbuktu, in the 1200s. That's why you find Yoruba cultural similarities in all these countries. It's just that amalgamation of Nigeria wan make am seem like Yoruba ancient history is limited to only Nigeria, Benin Republic, Togo, and other Nigerian peoples. Historians in the past have already shown that Yoruba ancient history goes further outside Nigeria.
