In order to gain political office a Fulani man would have to compete among his fellows for the right to rule. He could show his political favor by demonstrating that he had a large following in the form of individuals and families. By agreeing to become the client of a powerful man or family, a subject would offer tribute in the form of gifts and political support in exchange for security. Wodaabe men often held considerable political power within their own nomadic communities, as well as within the communities in which they settled in northern Nigeria." culled from: http://saharanvibe..com/2007_02_01_archive.html I love how they have their own unique system within their ethnicity. It's almost as if the establishment of national borders or labels means nothing to them. ![]() ![]() I hope they keep it up. ![]() [img]http://bp0.blogger.com/_JF8UtJK3aog/RdnFe_P6lfI/AAAAAAAAAME/842V9QzLGpE/s400/wodaabe+8.jpg[/img] "beautiful warriors"... ![]() 1 Like |

[size=18pt]Ancient Fulani history:[/size] Every African (native) are descendants of wondering nomads who all originated in central East Africa before making their way to various parts of Africa Here is a hypothesis on how the Fulani (who are mostly found in West Africa today) came about: According to http://www.pnas.org/content/107/34/E133.full the Fulani, who form a distinct population cluster, are more closely related to Chadic- and Central Sudanic-speaking African populations than to other Niger-Kordofanian speakers AND according to "The westward wanderings of Cushitic pastoralists. Explorations in the Prehistory of Central Africa" (Roger Blench) If Chadic and Cushitic languages do have a privileged relationship.then this is best explained by the assumption that Chadic speakers broke away from a branch of Cushitic and moved westwards. In view of the intemal diversification of Chadic this must have been several thousand years ago. Given the long distances involved, it seems likely that this migration took place in the context of a pastoral subsistence system. In other words, a group of Cushitic speakers, herding cattle,sheep and goats, began to drift westward (Blench 1995b ![]() |

I'm not sure if it's really just a coincidence that most actual Africans seem to be far less interested in the physical features of these people than non-Africans. |
