In an early thread about Kings in Yoruba, it says Emir of Ilorin is a Yoruba king. Now he is a northern King. Kind of confused
Emir of Ilorin is a Fulani dynasty anyone saying otherwise is lying. Kwara is in North Central with Ilorin as it Capital. Kwara Ilorin is more of Yoruba speaking but fall to Fulani annexation and occupation because of Afonja miscalculation.

I have been hearing that for sometime now. I heard Yemoja is Nupe kingdom. Maybe that's why there are some similarities between them.

I think the basic fact is that there was interactions between the Hausa\Fulani\Nupe and the Yorubas both peaceful and violent interactions!
The old Oyo Kingdom extends and was centered in the North
