There are still some Proto-Bantu groups in Nigeria. Tiv, Ekoi, Efik and Ibibio have varying levels of Bantu. And the Igbos have still have a small level of Bantu admixture.

West Africans have different migration patterns. Ancient West Africa was called ‘Sudan’. And there were some that expanded from the Mauretania and North West Africa area, after the empire built there collapsed due to flooding. They later built the Ghana empire and kept expanding. And rest migrated in different migration waves - from the present day Sudan/Ethiopia axis.

I believe there was also an indigenous gnome group in West Africa prior to the arrival of these new groups. But archaeologists are still trying to determine what happened to them.

To make things simpler with a picture below, Niger-Congo family stretches from Dakar, Senegal, at the westernmost tip of the continent to north-central Africa. Bantu is just a branch of the larger Niger-Congo family like how Germanic, Slavic, and Romance are branches of the Indo-European family.

Also, the people who built the Wagadou or Awkar also known as Ghana (which is just a title for kings meaning Warrior King) and the Mali Empire were the Soninke and Mandinka apart of Mandre, Niger-Congo family. Before Wagadou was even a thing, settlements in what would become one of its first cities were founded by the Mandre, Soninke people etc and thats also where the first Sudano-Sahelian architecture was born first made out of stone. The only places like the soon to be most famous city of Timbutku were originally Amazigh, Tuareg, agricultural settlements before it was incorperated into the Mandinka Malian empire. Amazigh are a branch of the Afro-Asiatic family.
