One of the last Almamys of Futa.

Fulaman198: Pullo debbo leydi Fouta?:

Mali I would say due to the tattoo around her lips.

Omarbah: found this

Indeed she is from Futa Jallon. She is a Conakry girl though.

from "Dimoh" TV

that look

Omarbah:

I was thinking so too. I have never seen Guinea use the henna around the lips. But sometimes due to hairstyle, you see some similarities, like that hairstyle could be a Burkinabe hairstyle or Fouta hairstyle right?

Here is a more "traditional" one for your taste Fulaman

the wedding parties, that's where you find them at.

Futa ka men no weeli

Omarbah: Futa ka men no weeli

Woodi maasin!

Omarbah: the wedding parties, that's where you find them at.

LOL I was trying not to stare at bo.obs

@OmarBah, I was going through the history of Guinean presidents and they have all been Mande. I really think that's unfair especially in a country that is 45% Fulani. I can see where you and Bororojo were coming from now.

it's either we get an ally from the Mande ethnic groups or we attempt to change the mentality of the average Guinean and thus affect his views on politics.

Omarbah:

Well we have the ability to make that change now. All presidents have been Mande. What have they really done to bring Guinea to the forefront of things? It's time that a Fulani person rules and sees if they can take the country farther than it has ever been.

only if people will let go of prejudice. Many people still vote to prevent someone from coming to power. They forget the consequences of making such choices. The worst thing is, despite everything, Fulanis still do better than other groups. But Guinea can go far beyond. It's a country that is unexploited, has fertile and an large opening to the sea.

100% agree my brother.

Fulaman198:

100% agree my brother.

If not, we can focus on building Futa Jallon and use our 45% to build a strong political base to protect our interests. After all, politics is a game of numbers, we call always support a "minority".

Indeed my brother, just like how you would love to invest in Nigeria someday, I would love to invest in Guinea.

Kudos to the brothers from Senegal, professor Abou Dembel Mbodji has announced the publication of a book on astronomy in Pulaar.This is how everything starts, just like how we did it with the Quran we should translate every science and tech book with great importance in our language. It is the best way to educate our people.

You see a lot of Pulaar/Fulfulde writing in Senegal, Guinea and Mali that's what I really like about this countries. I think Nigeria is becoming far too Hausanized. It is definitely that we have to work on if we would like to retain our respective Fulani cultures 100%. In the Northeast, I'm glad that we have retained our Fulfulde quite well, but I can't think of any famous authors that write in complete Fulfulde on the top of my head in Nigeria.

I think maybe I'll write a book in Fulfulde.

sometimes , as I am an Panafricanist, I admire the progress of Hausa in Nigeria, I wish it was spoken by everyone , not just the Northerners.

it seems like unlike other fulanis in West Africa, you seem to get along with Hausa in Nigeria. Why is it so? The religion?

Omarbah:

LOL it would be nice and there is nothing wrong with PanAfricanism, I am a bit that way myself (ok I'm joking I'm completely that way). It seems that Fulani people are some of the biggest Pan Africans or maybe I'm just using you and myself as examples.

Omarbah: it seems like unlike other fulanis in West Africa, you seem to get along with Hausa in Nigeria. Why is it so? The religion?

It is religion mainly and also all the Emirs are of Fulani origin (though I don't think any of them speak Fulfulde). The Hausa people are also very kind people.

Considering that we are sprawled , we have an interest in being Pan Africanists.

that's what I figured. You must intermarry a lot too for the term Hausa-Fulani to be popular.

Those are the Fulbe in the NW not reallyh Adamawa. I'm 100% Fulani No Hausa whatsoever.

majority of fulbe are located in the North east?

Omarbah:
majority of fulbe are located in the North east?

Yes, that's correct (I am talking about pure Fulbe). Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe

No Fula Gurl no marriage hey wait! Am i dreaming

CAMNEWTON4PRES:

Okay so that means prior the Arabs you had no alphabet or script right? No texts/books either

Don't get me wrong I'm actually trying to find and know African ethnic group who developped their own script or alphabet without any external influence
So far only Ethiopian

Somali people too, but because most clans had their own kingdom/sultanate/geradship we had multiple scripts. The Latin orthography was only adopted in 1972. There is hope of bringing back those lost scripts, I hope that happens sometime soon.

This is called Osmanya and it was used by my clan in the north east.
