PAGAN 9JA: thank you , but you missed my point lol , what i was asking is if after being defeated the Hausa, joined the fulani to conquer others? i ask this because to do what they have been able to do you must have a big army (without ignoring that others west most likely less military advanced) i still believe Fulani wcouldn't do that (fulanization,colonisation) of others without external(local and already conquered) help.. Also why is that our former west invaders(english and france) gave them the power? Do you know if the conquests in aactual nigeria and actual Cameroon were at the same time? As for fulani , in one of your comments you said they went iN hausa land to settle , i'm very surprised ,knowing their lifestyle one doesn't expect fulani to settle or colonise someone i mean they are/were raiders ,so do you know what made them change their lifestyle?(minus teh woodabee) 1 Like |

PAGAN 9JA, If you still believe in what you wrote here about PAN TRIBALISM, you are still in cloud 9 waiting for another group to come and take you as slaves again. You cannot think PAN WORLD when they are thinking about taking you as slaves. Unless you think Africans have gain from globanization or whatever. PAGAN 9JA: |

CAMEROONPRIDE: who did the Fulani conquer after that? IT all took place around the same time. Do you know how many Fulani Herders are there? There are loads. If King Abdul Aziz Al Saud could capture Saudi Arabia with only 40 bedouin herder men, you think its not possible for maybe a 1000 or more Fula herders to conquer these areas? they probably had a bit help. we dont know. but i doubt it. well since when have our former colonial invaders ever thought of much good for us. They sided with whoever was in power. However the brits did reinstate the Sarkindom of Daura. thats about the only good they did. the settled Fula rulers by now where already gaining influence as a religious force. They were trying to shed most of their tribal roots and legitimize their claim over the newly conquered and converted lands by using religion as their rallying point of authority. Therefore Sokoto has today virtually become a Caliphate. The Fula rulers of Sokoto calls himself Sultan not LAMIDIO (which is the trad. title of a Fulani ruler). yes it was around the same time. Modibbo Adama was Usumane Dan Fodios pupil and disciple. He was the invader of Adamawa and North Cameroon. He caused conversion and enslavement of so many local tribes and rulers. For example, Adama forcefully demanded that the king of Dullo, Bukar Djiama, swear his allegiance and convert to Islam untainted with Paganism or face death. these are the ways islam spread in these parts. what made them change their lifestlye? newly acquired lands, titles, wealth, escape from the harsh life of the desert and religious authority/education (in the herding lifestylem one becomes less of a muslim and more of a Pagan, one cannot afford to pray 5 times a day or get religious education and learn arabic/quraan and Juju/talismans/animism etc., and all that are commonly exchanged in the Sahel), etc. However it is to be noted that it was mostly the ruling class of the Fulani who settled. Most of the other Fuulbe mercenaries and herders returned back to the desert, to their usual way of lifestyle once the wars were over and they gained their plunder. |

jara: PAGAN 9JA, what slaves? I didnt say PAN WORLD. i said PAN TRIBALS. All of us tribals, be we in Indonesia or in Peru or in Papua New Guinea or in Nigeria or Namibia, we all share the same issues and problems. and We are all of Pagan heritage. we are the original peoples of this world. therefore we must come together to help each other and safeguard our cultural /political and economic interest against the bad influences from the west and other such parts of the world. I did not talk globalisation. just tribalization. 1 Like |

*Kails*: yes Thank You. you could forge your own Jamaican identity. you see? it makes you different! it gives you something to be proud of and have some self-respect. yes one of the only reason I get piss.ed of with these Pan-Africanists (who comprise mostly of AAs) is their racsist attitude of BLACK BLACK BLACK. ok fine. that might be how they define themselves today, but why drag us into it. We are tribespeople. we hardly care for skin colour. then you have AAs who come here and try to pick any tribe they like and behave like us. then they might want to assimilate us all in the future. Im just afraid this Pan-Africanism/Black race concept can destroy our tribes. if we all assimilate based on skin colour, this will be europe repeated here all over again. |

A Hausa mans robe. Note: THis is not just any Agbada. What makes it Hausa is the embroidery style and colour choice. The diagram in the 1st pic represents a the front of a typical inexpensive robe known as Mai Saki/Mai Sachi. The embroidery is of white thread on a green background. A : Body (uwar rugu) B.B : Sleeves C : Pocket (aljifu) D : Bridle (Linzami) E : face (fuska) F : Mumberin Riga G : House of colour (yidda rinna) H : Taker Up (kwashe) I : Divided (sharaba) J : Mumberin aljiffu K : 5 houses (gidda biar) The bridle D , is so-called because of its position in reference to E, the face, in whihc it sumwat resembles that of a bridle on a horse's head. The white thread spots in G are in regular lines with the edges touching. The kwashe and the gidda rinna together form the "front drum", tambarin gabba, so called from its resemblance, as seen from above, to a drum and the cloth cord by which it is hung from the neck. There is a similar pattern about the middle of the back , and the 2 'drums' are joined together by the sha'raba, which passes over, close to the neck, and is so called ( sha raba to bear separation) because half of it is on the fron and hald on the back. The gidda biar, five houses, is named after the 5 squares of which, with 4 subsidary ones, it is composed. These embroidery patterns on robes are of infinite variety, according to the taste and incentiveness of the worked, but the different parts are always known by these names, except that in the more elaborate kinds, the gidda biar is supplemented or replaced by a larger and more intricate design known as the kunkungabba. This last often covers the pocket and the whole of the top of the (wearer's) side. The triangular pieces of embroider which forms the fuska or face, and usually part of the kunkungabba, ase called "aska" from their likeness to the blade of a razor. The strip of lining, about a foot wide and usually coloured at the bottom of the sleeve unites with the body, chuna. Different kinds of trousers, distinguished from each other by the cut or the pattern of the embroidery, are known respectively as wandon sachi, mai-tsina, wandon fari mai-tsina, bakin wando, balas, akintaki, mai-surfani, buje, sokoto, ba kano, adamushi, baban bango, etc. For females: tsama, fatalan, chiawa, fatalan bunu, kujeran matar kawo, and damaran hayatu are the names of different female head-kerchiefs. The last one was brought into fashion by Hayatu, the daughter of a former emir of Zazzau.
