CAMNEWTON4PRES:I am not saying he was an angel , far from it but from what I read in his time he did build infrastructures and improved the livelihood of Cameroonians unlike many of his colleagues like Mubutu who not only killed great Pan Africanist like Lumumbu but also plundered the country and left it broke. As for the 90s, it was the most messed up period since independence for many countries. It was due to the fall of the soviets and the rise of the new order with America as the superpower. A lot of things changed then. |

Btw do you know Jean Paul Pougala? |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 5:04am On May 31, 2015 |
Omarbah: Anyway lets move on, that is a period of time I don't even want to remember, like I said his place is in the dustbin of history. And the 90s crisis as far as Cameroon was concerned was due to state funds mismanagement, unpaid debts, low to no industrialization, which caused the IMF and world bank to step in and vandalize our country, then the currency was devaluated and the rest is history, people were earning peanuts money, lost everything in their bank accounts. And lets not forget that he organized a coup to come back in power. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 5:05am On May 31, 2015 |
Omarbah: Yup, why? |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 5:07am On May 31, 2015 |
I meant do not understand statehood nationhood and state loyalty |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 5:17am On May 31, 2015 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES:Same problems in other countries too, IMF structural adjustment programs, we are all familiar with them. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 5:18am On May 31, 2015 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES:They dont understand statehood or nationhood? The two are different. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 5:19am On May 31, 2015 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES:I like his ideas, more economics and less politics for young Africans. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 5:21am On May 31, 2015 |
Omarbah: They don't understand both Most states are working toward nations esp in Africa, but I see where you are going, so lets stop at statehood |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 5:23am On May 31, 2015 |
Omarbah: I like them too However j think politics is the horse that brings you to the promised land. Therefore he should engage in politics even if it is at the regional level and put to test his ideas and ideologies. We should not abandon politics to rogue individuals with water in their heads |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 5:25am On May 31, 2015 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES:How can a people not know what statehood is if they have built so many of them throughout history? |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 5:29am On May 31, 2015 |
Considering that no African state can preserve its interests in the 21 st century by working alone , going toward nationhood within the current states is suicide. Nigeria, Ethiopia and DRC if they get their act together are the few viable ones in sub saharan Africa due to land and population mass. Even Europeans are moving toward stronger integration. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 5:35am On May 31, 2015 |
Omarbah:that's the point or the problem regardless of the so called states they built in the past, the ones they are living in right now were not built by them, maybe that's why they live like marginals and those who participate are so entitled and believe power at the centre is theirs. They are violent in nature and are yet to come to the reality , their so called glorious past is over and now that we are multi nations states , they need to accept some of us if it was not for the white men would have never been in contact with them, we not only don't owe them anything but they are not lords and definitely didn't teach us islam |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 5:42am On May 31, 2015 |
Omarbah:how exactly going toward nationhood is suicide ? Land mass and population are not what make a state viable except if you want to reduce viability to internal market and even if that's the case you are analogy is still not convincing as the countries you listed have all different land mass and different population numbers . Nationhood for me is adopting one language and culture as the de facto language and culture, uniting the people around that culture it is mixing all cultures to form one. Is that possible without war and subjugating smaller entities? I don't know , is that possible without dictatorship? I don't think so, however what I know is nationhood building process means people giving up a lot of what they think are important to them or make them. When African countries will reach such level they will become less penetrable by foreign forces and influences. If we decide to remain together we must really come together 1 Like |

CAMNEWTON4PRES:It seems like you are repeating many of the things you see here on nairaland. I dont remember seeing problems between fulanis and other cameroonians. You are getting wrong when you say if it were not for the white men you would not have met them. But that is not the subject here. Fulanis are conservative, you cant blame them for that. If they want to retain their culture, I dont see any problem with it. Afterall the nations that we will build whether continental or with the current states will surely be multiethnic. And if we want to retain our African culture, not cooy french or english, then we need to let people be who they are. What should be expected of everyone is respect or civic values that we share. You cant blame people for being conservative. With that said, where do you take it that fulanis are violent in nature? 2 Likes |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 5:53am On May 31, 2015 |
Omarbah: There are none, I told you I'm not worried about Fulani in Cameroon, however their brothers from the rest of Africa can influence them in a bad way... |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 6:05am On May 31, 2015 |
Sure forming a nation is good thing. But here are the few things you need to consider. First of all you talked about one language , one culture. In such a case, a dominant group will want to impose its way of doing things. Can you avert war? I dont think so and this will open you to attack. You certainly cannot impose a culture either as the identities are strong already. This is a problem that we face in Africa, specially west Africa where we are obliged to choose a foreign language and even foreign/ european culture as consensus just because we are obsessed with this idea of having a common thing. Now imagine you have your nation. You wont be able to compete on your own. I mentioned Nigeria, Ethiopia and DRC because they are the ones with the size ( not just current numbers but also potential) and land mass to draw the resources needed to be able to compete with the rest of the world. Look at Germany, France, Spain, all of these advanced, industrialized states are trying to build a stronger union to protect their interests. This is what we need to move toward to, not micro nations. The case of the economic partnership agreement is a good one. Here is a trade deal that even Cameroonian entrepreneurs have denounced as dangerous for the country. The EU coerced Ecowas members and other states like Cameroon to sign it. The deal wants to remove tariffs for goods coming from the EU. This is a great disadvantage for young entrepreneurs trying to compete. And guess what, only Nigeria didnt sign it because they could afford to say NO to the EU, the rest had no choice otherwise the tariffs of their agricultural products would have increased. So you can see the danger looming. I am telling you, even those Europeans want to be united to compete with China, a stronger India and NAFTA. CAMNEWTON4PRES: 1 Like |

Again it shows the negative influence of nairaland on some people. What other African brothers are you referring to? Be careful brother, dont believe everything you see here. In CAR our people got killed by the thousands, their stores, cattle , property destroyed, nobody moved a finger. France watched and didnt do much. Now the day they start defending themselves they will call fulanis violent. CAMNEWTON4PRES: 1 Like |

Fulaman198: these days its hard to mention or see the word "Fulani" in the papers without herdsman following. since I was born, I have never read about Fulani herdmans in a positive light. all negative, this is not tribalism here, my good man, I am just curious as to why this is so. i also heard that some,................wel lets call them Fulani, cos they cant be pure bred Fulani, reknowned for nobility......well i hear they sometimes, how can i say this.....well i heard that they engage in coitus with their cows when they are far from their settlement, they are noMads, you know? pls i want you to read this with an open mind and clear all doubt, there must be others out there too who will like to know it its myth or reality. lastly why are fulanis so aggressive and hot blooded, seems like they take a great delight in burning villages, according to the newspapers anyway, would appreciate your answers. |

Fulaman198: you sold out to the arabs son. for the promise of 72 heavenly virgin 0.rgy, and a mess of pottage, do you want us to debate? like I said I mean no insults here, just stating facts as I see it, you can educate me, though. |

Omarbah: The Muslims were the first to misbehave and as usual the rest of the community kept shut to only cry blue murder when the Christians started retaliating, besides Fulani weren't not specifically targeted. Yes Nairaland, newspapers etc all play a role in our we see thing. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 5:55pm On Jun 08, 2015 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES:Are you serious? Muslims had been persecuted in CAR for a long time. Even having a job as a government worker was tough, same with identity cards with their nationality being questioned all of the time. Plus those fulani herdsmen didnt have anything to do with Seleka. 1 Like |

Fulani have 30% Eurasia ancestry,there are the most mixed west Africans,which is why many looks different with semi straight hair and straight nose,I have see this feature in other tribes also in Nigeria also,but the Fulani have it the most |
