I read Yoruba ibadan history dating back to 18 century. Portuguese visited benin before 16th century for palm oil trade and a Benin prince went to Europe and learnt how to read, write and speak foreign language in the 16th century. So the much touted Ibadan or Yoruba empires and history must have been invented by the first set of literate Yorubas themselves. I suspect these forgeries happened around that 18th century because I don't think literacy got to core Yorubas before 18th century
