PAGAN 9JA: PAGAN, About the Shuwa, I tell you they are different from the Zaghawa, Fur, etc. I know this because I'm a Borno man and have visited Chad Republic several times. The latest being last month. About Al-Amin Elkanemi, as I told you. I'm a Borno man and we are the only part of Nigeria that have more than a thousand years of written history. So I think there is no point of us arguing over that. His name Elkanemi is another way of him saying that he is a Kenumbu man. That is why his deal with the Mai in giving his colony of students to protect the empire has the condition of rewarding him with the leadership of the Kanembu tribe. In the old Borno empire, regions were mostly named after the people occupying it. For example Tibesti was mostly occupied by Toubou, Kanem by Kanembu, Chari by the Garrhie etc. About those Arabs whose pictures you posted. Yes, many of them are imposters. The same way the whites took over North Africa, they did before in Arabia. The story of slave descent of black Arabs was just a racist twist of history. And many Afrocentrist support that story because it buries the fact that the black Arabs were the ones that started enslaving the whites. Especially Slavs who they call Saqalib. They park their harems with white concubines which led to the children of the elite turning out to be mulatoes and then white over a few generations. The greater majority of white population came with the influx of Persians and then later Turks when the Ottoman Empire ruled over Arabia. This is a fact that most of us try hard not to accept but even the first Europeans that came across Arabs described them to be as Black as Charcoal. There are even European paintings of Arabs that showed them to be the same in looks as Black Africans. Here are some of the old paintings of Arabs by Europeans. We may not agree on this but I tell you. They are not myths. If we do not stop this tactical encroach on all lands occupied by blacks. One day people will wonder when you tell Nigerians used to be black. No racism here, just the straight truth. The last one is Umar Mukhtar (Lion of the desert). You can see he is more black than is white.

gst101: it not the way you people see it, tiv. That practice is no longer found among them that is if it was ever found. Mary was not under-aged for her time because of the life expectancy at that time. Just like how women used to get married at 17, 18 back in the days but now people marry at their 20s. |

The ignorance of our generation amazes me, this is simple ignorance displayed on this thread. It is so sad that a thread meant to be educative has managed to be dragged in to a tribal bashing thread. It is really pathetic, please my fellow young Nigerians, our generation is supposed to be the most informed generation of the whole lot with the amount of information we have at our disposal. Lets make adequate use of such information to do away with myths that have somehow found their way to being paraded as truth. This is one reason why I will advise the education Ministry if I had my way to make History a compulsory subject of study from primary to secondary school levels and at least as a compulsory general studies course in the first year of university. |

this thread should be tiltled some MYTHS the divorce ruling is an islamic one has nothing to do with nigeria and should be practised wherever there are muslims. PAGAN9JA i have noticed you have this domineering and know all attitude about any history concerning the northern part of nigeria chill bro nobody has a monopoly of knowledge same way you accuse others of being racist you also come off as racist. one thing i do know is that there have been intermixing of people from time immemorial and many histories are long lost due to war, natural disasters and twisting of tales to suit whoever was telling them e.g i know of some black hausa people from kano that can trace their genealogy to arabs but the present day versions look like regular nigerians and this would also be true the other way round so it would be extremely ignorant or arrogant to dismiss out of hand and say there could never have been mixing or not |

aaidel: this thread should be tiltled some MYTHS the divorce ruling is an islamic one has nothing to do with nigeria and should be practised wherever there are muslims. No proof that Hausa and Arabs have anything to do with one another except language family both being Afro-Asiatic. Some people need to stop having this inferiority complex to Arabs, because despite sharing the same religion, a lot of them despise us. I am not Hausa as you know I'm Fulani, but I see a lot of Fulani doing the same thing, trying so hard to have a common bond with Arab history. We need to be proud of our own history 2 Likes |
