    The earliest evidence of human settlement in Nigeria dates back to 9000 BC. Several cultures arose over time, including the Nok culture from 800 BC to AD 200. By 1000 AD, the state of Kanem flourished due to trans-Saharan trade routes. Northern Nigeria later split into seven Hausa city-states, while two states, Oyo and Benin, developed in the south along with Igbo village communities. Between the 11th and 15th centuries, the Ife civilization flourished in the west. In the late 18th century, Fulani religious groups waged war and merged northern states to form the Sokoto Caliphate.

    The earliest evidence of human settlement dates from 9000 BC.

    The Nok culture,


    traces of which are visible in Nigerian art today, prevailed from around 800 BC to
    AD 200. By 1000 the state of Kanem was flourishing, thanks to the trans-Saharan
    trade route that ran from West Africa to the Mediterranean. In the 11th century
    northern Nigeria split into seven independent Hausa city-states. By the 14th
    century, two states had developed in the south, Oyo and Benin, with the Igbo people
    of the southeast living in small village communities. West of the Niger, the Ife
    flourished between the 11th and 15th centuries. The importance of the Ife
    civilization is evident today; all Yoruba states claim that their leaders are
    descended from the Ife as a way of establishing legitimacy. At the end of the 18th
    century, Fulani religious groups waged war in the north, merging states to create
    the single Islamic state of the Sokoto Caliphate.. Turner, Barry. (2004). Nigeria.
