Nice effort, kindly indicate source

, now please, his family tree not this, we already know this story.

An Aristocratic Fulani, these people are very cultured. Compared to other groups in Africa, I really do look up to them in a way. If you ever came across a Fulani, their command and presence is something to remember. And I am an Igbo man saying this. No other group besides the Tuareg of Maasai command that much respect in my opinion.

this is not his family tree, its his bio.


family tree should go back at least one to two hundred years.

Pls I nid his forest! Jobless people
