  • O Império de Ifé foi o primeiro império na história iorubá . Foi fundado no que hoje é o sudoeste da Nigéria e o leste do Benim. O império durou de 1200 a 1420. Foi fundado por Odudua e tornou-se conhecido por suas sofisticadas peças de arte. Embora o iorubá fosse a principal língua, também havia vários dialetos e idiomas falados. Chegou ao poder através do comércio com o Sahel e outros Estados florestais próximos.
