axum:



Why do you Bantus wear weaves then?

Somali Gil's wear weaves too just like other women including white ones by the way.
Bororojo please stop responding to Axum, you can't reason him. Talking to him doesn't lead anywhere. He could go to the library of congress and say he doesn't see any books and still argue. You can't wake up someone who pretends sleeping.

axum:



I am a good muslim. Just cause I dont want to be around Bantus doesnt make me a bad Muslim. I dont like cheese does that make me a bad muslim?

I have my preferences.

Sure you do have preferences just like many other people but still being racist and being a good Muslim are not compatible. In fact the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) had to fight tribalism among his people to spread the religion.
Anyways I realize this won't do any good. Lol you just like to mess with people that's all.
@ ArtanK help us find a beautiful stereotypical Somali girl for Axum to marry. It shall give him something to do. Abeg help him!!! He is in need.

axum:



There is no hope, The Somali people do not like Bantus, we dont see ourselves as black, even this naive ARTANK has said he is not black.


Just because we dont like Bantus doesnt mean we have no dignity. LOL

Then you are a bad Muslim.

Fulaman198:


They are both from republic of Benin brother

Wow I guess their dialect is similar to the one spoken in MAli

Fulaman198:
@OmarBah, brother it's not too bad, but this is the true essence of our people Allah accu (wallu) lawol Fulbe:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7sLqyOrJyw&

I like them both, they seem like songs you can put on cultural events. Let me guess they are both from MAli?'I heard a similar one when listening Ampathe Bah talk about Fulbe culture.

axum:
MARBAH ARE YOU A MUSLIM?

Yes I am a Muslim, Allah willing.

Alright derdirabe Fulaman and bororojo how about this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTGJCkbkPk4

Bororojo:
OmarBah, I didnt like it ....

Too modern?

Fulaman198:


Brother, I'm not going to lie to you, I don't like that kind of music. I'm very 100% pro traditionalist. I know a lot of you may think it's abnormal for a young man born in the mid 80s to have this mentality, but I do lol. It sounds too Makossa/Soukous like for my tastes.

Lol I see , you are more into traditional music,I respect that.

@Omarbah
I was disapointed when I first heard of how these African countries are bank rolling the French economy.

Have also you noted that some of the economically worst performing African countries are francophone? Like Niger..

Those EPAs are tricky Omarbah. They are being imposed on African and Carribean countries, with the East African Community being the latest to surrender. Kenya had already been locked out of the EU markets by imposition of an 8% tax after passing the set deadline. With millions of direct and indirect jobs and loss of revenue on the line, she conceded.

It truly is a challenge, the fact that our economies are integrated to theirs ( we sell them our raw products) makes them impose anything they want upon us. Not only we need to diversify our clients, as we are doing with approaching Asian countries, but also we need to change the structure of our economies by transforming these raw materials. A region like west Africa with Nigerian oil and gas should not have problems of energy to build metal and agro industries. But we lack organization and unity. Everyone think they can do it on their own. Most countries signed the EPA because they could not do otherwise without loosing thousands of jobs. And with the so called democracies we have, no government can take tough measures without being sanctioned by the populace and opposition, chaos and disorder could ensue. If you want my honest opinion, I believe African countries need strong governments to change our economies. Just make sure, that ethnic groups are represented so avoid trouble.
The other factor that explains the backwardness of francophone countries ( I am from one of them actually) is that people lack the entrepreneurial spirit. In most of those countries, people expect everything from the government including jobs.

Maakhir:


In answer to your question:

You are the source of Africa's troubles

Who is?

Fulaman And bororojo
Here is a song , let me know if you like it

Fulaman198:


Cote D'Ivoire are wannabe sellouts (like many Nigerians who want to feel more American or British).

I was very disappointed when they invited Chris Brown to host the Kora awards as if they could not pick an African artist. They did the same by picking that student, North African as a coach. Dude failed them twice, both in the African cup of nations and World Cup.

Nayah:

Absolutely fake comment sorry Senegal and Gabon are known to be the most French link in Africa one for West Africa and the other for Central Africa sorry but this is completely false to say that Senegal is extirping itself from France and the sign of this is the Francopjone Summit held in Dakar. I've always said that unfortunately this country is strongly French spirit conducted. And the fact that Olof is the national language does not change anything I know this country and the culture just check the economic environment and you ll see that 90% of investments are coming from the more and more poor France.

Ivory Coast for example attempted to get away from French influence then we all know what happened with the best puppet Ouattara.
As for Cameroon Fulman just an information: this is one the African country which has not any military base especially French one result is Boko Haram but they ll fail cause we Cameroonian are united and determined their foolish joke will end with us

Right after finishing the conference, they made it known that native language are accepted in the National Assembly which goes completely against the idea of francophonie that wants to promote the French language. French has lost ground so much in Senegal that they are introducing native language to the educational system. Some have even proposed to translated scientific manuals in Pulaar and Wolof.
I see cameroonians claiming their independence or resistance if you will to French influence, but still your currency is controlled from Paris and you recently signed the economic partnership agreement with the EU. Not only is your economy integrated to theirs but also your currency is tied to the Euro. I'd love to see you work with others to eliminate their toxic French influence in the long run, but this rising nationalism in Africa won't help. On this continent , only Nigeria can survive on her own and that is if she ensures stability so that the economy and military can grow. As far as Guinea, Senegal, Cameroon, Ghana etc... Unless we unite , we are doomed.

Fulaman198:


Not all of them are, Mali, Guinea, Niger, Senegal, Cameroon (which is both English and French), and some other Francophone countries are still very traditional (a lot more traditional than Nigeria). Read up on Senegal's "Wolofinization"

Yel, Senegal has been smart at progressively extirpating herself of France cultural and political influence. Today you can speak Wolof or Pulaar at their National Assembly without being regarded as a fool. In Côte d'ivoire you couldn't do that.

muafrika:
They also have a French name. What a shame.

What is it with the self proclaimed "francophone" countries? They are slowly taking us back to colonialism. Really, why are they sucking up to France?

Well france never really left those countries. Their currency is tied to the Euro and a percentage, 50%, of their foreign trade is to be placed at the bank of France supposedly to support their currency. Up until now most of them had a French military base and those guys " trained" the armies. Basically France was providing the military protection and thus stability and controls the economy through the currency. By infiltrating their armies, their political system through the education of the elite, they have build a strong system. So most of those countries have never been really free of colonialism. Guinea is the only one that is not member of CFA zone and never had foreign forces in its territory since 1958. But Guinea did pay a heavy price for her independence as France did everything to sabotage her from dropping of fake currency, isolating her diplomatically.
Unfortunately we still have leaders that think complaining can solve problems instead of strategizing.

Bororojo:
I have always seen it in literature as Yallunka... Interesting bit.
Fulaman, many of the Yalunka are still there, Wikipedia (sourced from ethnologue) says their population is 120K+ and about 86K in Guinea
That is insignificant....

Most of the ones living in Futa are Fulbe by culture now. This is the case for the Sarakolle or Soninke and also for the Maninka that have lived there for a long time.

RoyalPearl:
it's a weave. Sorry hun

He is delusional. This guy could walk into a library and say " well I don't see any books".

Bororojo:


lol, so, why was it named Futa Jallon initially, when all the Bah's and Sow's were there?

The Jallon is named after the Jallonka group. Basically we were the two majority ethnic groups there until the Jihad. Sort of like Hausa Fulani .

ArtanK:


OK, Are Fulanis recent arrivers (last one or two centuries)? Why are they being labelled foreigners?

Because of their nomadic tradition . Hell, even in Guinea, some Mande like to call Fulanis foreigners even though we have been for centuries. But we never leave though. Once we are in, it's for good.

ArtanK:
Are Fulanis the only Muslims that live in CAR?

No there are other groups from Chad and Sudan.

Bororojo:


yes. True. I would really love for Adamawans to "mix" with Jallonians....lmao
and produce the newest fuuta.

Futanians or Futakobe lol,
The other part of the name is being neglected increasingly lol

Bororojo:


Exactly.... they kill cattle herders in the bush and take over their cattle, when they don't even have the skills to manage them.... lol.
They think just taking the cattle is all what it takes.
Every Bororo in the C.A.R looks like this guy with the arrows right now. Defense is not an option this time around, it is a requirement!

Or here when they have taken actual guns .

Fulaman198:


Do you guys in FJ have the surname Gelajo(Geladio)?

Not it is not common here, Malaado is common though.

Bororojo:

They had refugees thronging as far as all the way into Nigeria... was really saddening what happened there...
Apparently, I learnt Jealousy was a main fueling factor, the locals felt the Fulanis and other Musilms were foreigners who were controlling their own economy.

I met a Pullo for CAR here , he told me the same. They marginalized MUslims in the administration but turns out, MUslims still controlled the economy. They would go out dig for diamonds for a long time and then come sell it to Muslim to buy goods.

Fulaman198:


Theirno is just Cerno or Cherno right? Some of those names like Karamoko sound Mande in origin

Yes Cerno or Alfa were the two terms used for those that attained a higher level of learning in Islam. Clerics loved the term Cerno. But just like Alfa it was also used by the heads of provinces. Timbi, TImbo , Fugumba, Kollade, Kebali, Koin used Alfa for their rulers, and Timbi Touni, bhouria used Cerno.

Karamoko is indeed Manden in origin, just like how you guys use Mallam.

Bororojo:

Bello!!
lol
Kinda of wish we had those names, I wont have to waste my time thinking when I see anyone that looks Fulanish.

Bello is written Billo in FJ and it is usually a first name or middle name as in Mamadou Billo Barry.
From what I have read, you guys are the ones that kept the original form of our names. Having a first name and them the town or village associated to it. FJ, MAli Fulbe chose the last names to conform to Manden society during their empire. I don't know how accurate it is but it sure is interesting. Thierno Samba Mombeya, Thierno Souleymane mo Timbi, Karamoko Alpha mo Labe, etc... That's how even our great great grandfathers called each other.

Bororojo:


Ah.... you are only making me more curious..
How will I be welcomed? will they se me as a Kaado because My last name is not one of the original 4?

If I may know which one it is ? Lol, they know that not all Fulbe wearing different last names are Habe. But still if you are from a different country, they won't assume anything. Many Fulbe know that in MAli it is common to see Cisse, Dikko, Toure Fulbe .

Bororojo:


Chai!! .... I seriously need to visit Dalaba or maybe Malee
Right now, I am googlemapping Fouta Djallon.....lmao

Labe is a must see.

Bororojo:


You mean like this??

Just like that lol,

Bororojo:
Do any of you guyz have any news about the situation of our people in the C.A.R?

Last time I checked, they started retaliating as more and more of them are taking arms. CAR will be unstable for a long time.

Fulaman198:


Bororojo isn't sharing, see how I asked him who she is, and no response. It's possibly his future wife

He has got to protect his territory lol
