Description

An OTL map, for once! This WILL be part of a series, I might even do some writeups on West African history eventually! This took some extensive research on my part, but it might not all be correct. So please, if I got anything wrong, don't hesitate to tell me. :) Even so, I like to think it's a bit more accurate than Wikipedia and Geacron, so please enjoy! :D

Pretty cool to see people interested in Africa. I do see a few problems you have btw. For one, your location of "Yoruba Tribes" is incorrect. Ife is actually the heartland of the Yoruba people. Ife was also never that large and to my knowledge it didn't exist in 1050. Benin didn't exist until 1180, before that it was the kingdom of Igodomigodo. Nri was actually one of several small Igbo kingdoms. Mali was a collection of small Mande city states. It didn't become "Mali" until they were unified in the 13th century to face off against the Sosso Empire (the successor empire after the collapse of Ghana.
