Insert is Maitatsine ( The one who Damns ) a Hausa revolutionary leader shortly after his capture in 1980.

The first charismatic Hausa leader to unite his people against Fulani overlords was a scholar by the name Abd al – Salam , another Hausa scholar by the name Dan Buya joined him. His movement started around 1818, shortly after the death of Usman Dan Fodio. At the time, almost all Hausa people lived in slave camps and over 60% of them were vassals of the Fulani feudal overlords…. Another large faction were turned to chattels and sold to the Ottoman traders. The revolt by these clerics to take back their lands started at Sokoto and spread from Sokoto to Kebbi and Zamfara. Sultan Bello was the ruler from Sokoto. He declared the leaders of the revolt as apostates. They were both defeated in battle and assassinated.

The Hausas were organizing for a second revolt when Lord Lugard showed up. Hoping to use his influence to sack the Fulani rulers, they enlisted en -masse into his army and formed the first battalions of the West African Frontier Force (WAFF)… Lugard betrayed them after the successful campaign and gave the land of the Hausa people back to the Emirs on the condition that the Emirs agreed to be vassals of the British. The Hausa people protested and tried to pressure him to replace them with Hausa rulers. He refused and believed that the Fulani, being a non negro race would be supposedly more intelligent people to work with in a system of indirect rule. In his journal, he wrote…. ‘The Fulani are an alien race of conquerors who had in turn been conquered. It would constitute danger to the state if they were ousted from their positions. Their intelligence enables them to appreciate more readily than the negro population the wider objects of the British policy….’

Shortly before independence, another charismatic ruler rose from the ranks to free his people from Fulani rule. He was also a scholar by the name Aminu Kano. He shared similar philosophies with Awolowo on socialism and emancipation of the masses. He argued that the talakawas were an exploited group in the North and swore to abolish both the emirates and privileged class known then as Masu Sarautu. His rising profile posed concern for the British and for a second time, they made laws that disenfranchised the Hausa people. They created an electoral college in the North with laws that gave the emirs the final approval of any elected member into the legislature. With this law, they silenced the voice of the talakawas championed by Aminu Kano and frustrated his revolution.

In the 70’s, another Hausa cleric emerged and rallied Hausa people, his name was Mohammadu Marwa, nicknamed ‘Mai Tatsine. He deviated from many of the Sunni teachings and declared himself an annabi (Hausa ruler). The title in Hausa is reserved for prophets with divine inspiration..... He swore to rid Hausa land of the Fulani elites and the nobility that exploited the local rulers for over a century. Like Aminu kano, he drew a mass following among the talakawas. His movement was violent. He had weapons smuggled into Kano for a revolution that started in December 1980….. Shagari government used the military to fight the movement and killed over 5,000 people. The group was fearless and stood their ground to the last breadth…. Major Haliru Akilu, one of the commanders sent to restore order in Kano observed that the fanatics never retreated, even when they were overpowered. They were bolder than the guerillas we read about fighting in Malaysia or in the jungles of East Asia’

Mohammed Marwa was killed shortly after the revolt . ( It was said that at death, his body did not decay and this futher inspired his followers). A More brutal successor came after him. His name was Ali Suleiman (Musa Makaniki). He led a more violent uprisings in Kaduna and the most violent of all postcolonial Hausa revolts in Yola in 1984 which left thousands of people dead and thousands more homeless. Buhari ordered a ruthless crackdown on the group in Yola that led to the death of many members. Musa Makaniki fled to Cameroon to escape death by hanging and stayed in exile for many years.

The current cleric standing for the Hausa masses is El Zakzacky. Unlike the other previous leaders of the fight for freedom for Hausa people, El Zakzacky had western education and his movement started with intellectuals in the ranks. He finished with a first degree in Economics at ABU but was denied his certificate. In a country where the Northerners enjoyed the privilege of a quota system, he could have lived a good life by pledging allegiance to Futa Jalon rulers…. On the contrary, he chose to stand up for the injustice done to the Hausa people for over a century. Like the cleric before him, he deviated from all Islamic laws that bound them to Alien rulers that exploited the natives to form the nobility. His struggle is not about Islamic ideals, it is about freedom for Hausa people and rejection of Fulani nobility. His rhetoric is strictly centered on it and the government they greatly influence at federal level.

The emirs are alien rulers. Like the British who left at independence, they need to vacate the Northern kingdoms and give Hausa land back to its ancestral owners who have been seeking redress for injustice done to them by the Jihad of 1804 since the early 1800’s..... ‘Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.’ ( John F Kennedy)

I read diz thing like 3 times and I find it very boring...Spits

Nice write up. Can you drop your source/citation for further studies? Am working on a book about poverty in the North.

I don't know why the British supported or bolster up the forces of feudalism.just imagine they came and rubber stamped the Fulani hegemony over the whole area.Although they did something good in Nigeria and many things stand to their credit ,No doubt about that.But they didn't make effort to weld this country together and unite people of Nigeria.

do hausa ppl exist anymore?

Alright..It’s settled

Thanks

A very nice input.
All over West Africa there is an uprising against the fulani. Unable to find peace in other countries they are trooping to Nigeria because they hear the fulanis in Nigeria get whatever they want and they rule. Southerners will not be able to upturn fulani in the way Hausas desired for that to be done without first dislodging the dan Fodio styled-Islam and replacing it with the Hausa ...or the Kanuri styled-Islam all over North.

In case my statement above is not clear, what I am prescribing for North is a total makeover in Islamic belief. Currently you practice the Usman dan Fodio interpretation of Islam, which in its ideology is fear mongering, forced worship, indoctrination into blood ritual under guise of Allah worship and total abuse of humanity. To depose fulani you must first cleanse yourself of dan Fodio Islam and adopt a new Islam like the type practiced by Hausas and Kanuris in old age. After you do this successfully you will not need help from anyone to regain your throne.

The reason fulani is weak in other West African countries is because they do not practice dan Fodio Islam in those places. If they did they would also be under the spell of fulani like we are in Nigeria. Blood ritual is what gives fulani power and they get blood by periodic massacre over the land. They use Allah's name in vain to desecrate the land and the people. The secret of their power is actually in bloodshed and its organic rituals.

Is the Shi'ites leader a Hausa man.?

Pls, present proof.

Rekhina:

I agree with you but there are some points up here that needs to backup with some great scholarly articles.
I think the hausas are the most oppressed in this country. They are like a "willing slave" to their Fulani oppressors but unfortunately, the ignorant South feel otherwise.

Lack of education is a curse and religion is mixed in it finally no hope for hausa nation , i dont know wat to say

He is a pure hausa blood ,who deviated from fulani infested sunni islam ,because of its radicality and to emancipate hausa tribe ,
They collect tax to fund dia movement ,like nnamdi kanu and warlords in Central african replubic all against fulani evil hegemony

Religion is indeed the opium of the masses. The biggest scam.. It makes u neglect independent thinking for indoctrination

ok! for me hausa na fulani,fulani na hausa...period!

Rekhina:

You said lack of education I call it denied education. The elite purposely deny the talakawas access to real quality education not because they don't value it personally but they use illiteracy as a tool for oppression indirectly. That's why I rep great hausas like kwanwaso.

This is very revealing. No wonder the monster has sworn not to release the shiit leader.

Nigeria has never had an Hausa president. This still remain true.

So Shiite is Hausa and dat is why the fulani sunni buhari want to ban dem

I think you should shed more light on this part of your comment.
