Islam came from the north. Yoruba's who went to conduct business joined the religion and took it back to their place.
Also, some northerners migrated from the north to Yoruba land and established the religion there

We Yoruba's especially our monachs want more than one wife so since Christianity will not let Yoruba's to marry more than one wife they switch to Islam which permits for more wives.
