Fulaman198: Nope. Sahel: Niger, Mali, Burkina, Algeria, Senegal, Mauritania, Tchad. |

You guys are well gifted to look at a girl and tell her Yoruba features different from Ibo features and different from her Hausa feature. I bow to una! I cant ever tell what tribe a girl is till I stand up from between her legs. You are a pretty girl, you look like Shuwa Arab, Salmal Alekun, I love Maiduguri! Whhatt!! Did I just hear you say you are Gwari! ![]() ![]() |

annieruok: I think what he meant is there are a lot of sahelian ethnic groups in Nigeria. |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by annieruok: 4:48am On Nov 08, 2016 |
VomeSchakleton: Oh, my mistake then. Which ones (no malice, I genuinely don't know about that)? |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by Nobody: 4:54am On Nov 08, 2016 |
annieruok: A lot of northern ethnicities. For instance hausas, fulanis, kanuris and tuaregs to name a few. 2 Likes |

annieruok: I'm sorry that's not correct, Sahel also includes Cameroon, Nigeria, Gambia, here you go man/woman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahel |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by annieruok: 12:59am On Aug 18, 2017 |
Fulaman198: What's this supposed to prove? I'm from the Sahel and I know what it consists of and guess what? it doesn't include your country and the other you mentioned. What's next, Burundi as a sahelian country? I'm all for Gambia officially being part of the Sahel though, we have so much in common. |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by Fulaman198(m): 7:09am On Aug 18, 2017 |
annieruok: Kano is deep in the Sahel, Sokoto is in the Sahel, I do not believe that you are from the Sahel if you did not know that. The extreme North of Cameroon is in the Sahel as well. With a name like Annie Ruok you are more than likely a white person who thinks that she knows something more than a native loll. |

Fulaman198: I'm sorry you've never left your village and never been introduced to foreign things. Do you know that Michael Jackson is probably the most popular artist all of times? You could have saved that because you're looking ignorant right now. There's nothing I could learn from you when it comes to my people and our countries, you're not part of us so stop being desperate, we don't claim you so don't you dare claim us. You can write that you're Sahelian if that makes you feel better about yourself but no one in the real world thinks of the Sahel when they think of your "Kano". You posted a Wikipedia link that everyone can edit in order to prove something and failed because guess what? There was a time when Ethiopia was considered by some a Sahelian country, as silly as it sounds. Sahel: Niger, Mali, Burkina, Algeria, Senegal, Mauritania, Tchad and that's that. We're not going to change a single thing to make room for foreigners like you who think they can lay claim to our identities. |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by Fulaman198(m): 5:54pm On Aug 18, 2017 |
annieruok: That is not the Sahel, and I believe that you need to study geography extensively before commenting. You don't know my background, most people do believe that Kano is in the Sahel as well as a lot of Northern Nigeria. https://www.britannica.com/place/Sahel Clearly states that Nigeria is in the Sahel. Now unless if your background is somehow in extensive geography then I advise you stop spreading false information. I read post of yours when you said there are no Touaregs in Nigeria.... Either you are utterly naive or you don't know what is going on. There are 800,000 Touaregs in Nigeria. The majority of them arrived in Nijeriya in the 60s after the first Tuareg war. Most are from Niger republic. A huge swarm settled in Nigeria in the 70s and never returned to Niger. There is nothing silly about Ethiopia being called a Sahelian country. The Sahel is a geographical climatic zone. Stop trolling European. |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by annieruok: 7:48pm On Aug 18, 2017 |
Fulaman198: I don't need to do anything. The only reason I'm here is because desperate Nigerians like yourself are obsessed with us and that needs to stop. We don't claim you simply because we have nothing in common, get it through your thick head. Stop spreading lies about our region and people and stop being obsessed with us. I could give you a link to our forums and you would see that we don't return the favor and that's because we know you're not part of us. The countries I mentioned are not the Sahel? lol, if not us, who are Sahelians? There is nothing silly about Ethiopia being called a Sahelian country.Just like the true foreigner you are. Quick lesson from a real Sahelian: Touareg or Tuareg is already plural. |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by Fulaman198(m): 10:19pm On Aug 18, 2017 |
annieruok: Real Sahelian my rear end, your name is proper European. You are addressing the real Sahelian here. I'm a Pullo, we stand head above heels over most groups in the Sahel. Be it Senegal, Mali, Niger Republic, etc. Also no Tuareg calls themselves Touareg. The real term is Kel-Tamashaq. 1 Like |

Fulaman198: You must think you accomplished something here, don't you? There's nothing you can teach me about my people, clown. Just know that Nigerians are not Sahelians. Stop the one sided obsession. THE END. |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by Fulaman198(m): 4:18am On Aug 19, 2017 |
annieruok: You are obviously not even African. Nigeria is a country comprised of multiple ethnicities. Your people? I laugh in Fulfulde. Tihousay |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by Wulfruna(f): 11:04am On Aug 19, 2017 |
annieruok: Stop spewing your ignorance all over the place and shut up; that way you learn! Who is obsessed with 'your people' (whoever your people are)? The far north of Nigeria is in the Sahel. Typical of some ignorant Africans to try and make everything about ethnic/political pride. The Sahel is just a geographical region - not ethnic, not cultural, not political. The transition zone between the Sahara in the north and the true Savanna in the south is the Sahel, period. The far north of Nigeria falls in this zone. Are you sure you are even from this region at all? Any Sahelian that will come here and imply that Sokoto and Borno are not in the Sahel has probably never been in the Sahel. 2 Likes |

Fulaman198: That's all you have? You are dumb as hell. We don't consider you and your ilk sahelian and you will have to deal with that. What's wrong with being Nigerian? |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by annieruok: 2:53pm On Aug 19, 2017 |
Wulfruna: What a vulgar beast. No part of Nigeria belongs to the Sahel. Deal with that. |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by Wulfruna(f): 3:22pm On Aug 19, 2017 |

Wulfruna: The desperation is too real. I don't have any inferiority complex so I will never give credit to what an European publication claim is the Sahel ( this has been the point of you and you buddy yet I"m the European one? too funny). Clearly, thinking your ugly asses are part of us give you extra confidence so go ahead if you must but I challenge you to go to one of our countries and say that you're our brother because Wikipedia says so... ![]() We having nothing in common with you yet you're dying to claim us. What's wrong with being Nigerian? What about your languages, you culture, you custom scream Sahelian? If it's understood by all that Nigeria is a Sahelian country how come there's no interest in your country when we discuss our politics and cultures? How come the few online publications we have (run by US) make no mention of you? Only Nigerians THINK they're Sahelians ![]() |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by Nobody: 4:24pm On Aug 19, 2017 |
annieruok: LOL why would you take his opinions as that of Nigerians as a whole? Nigeria is a lot more diverse than that. I assure you no southern Nigerian will call Nigeria a sahelian country but a northern Nigerian will. Your confusion stems from the fact that Nigeria's portrayal and stereotypes are that of the south not north which are extremely different. A small google search of northern Nigeria can heal your ignorance. Niger for example is Hausa majority country with significant fula, Kanuri etc minorities exactly like northern Nigeria. You claimed Niger is in the Sahel and you're asking about similarities well Niger and northern Nigeria ethnically and culturally are pretty much the same. At some point we were from the same caliphate and we speak the same language. Some of those countries you mentioned have fula majorities and fulas make up a lot of northern Nigeria. I don't know which country you're from but do you actually believe a Nigerian would harbor an inferiority complex because of other Africans When we're the most significant and prominent African country? We claim sahelian not because of convenience but because that is the fact. I mean let's the honest, the Sahel isn't exactly very advanced. These are things I believe a true sahelian would know but it seems his claims might be correct, you are definitely not a sahelian. Maybe you're just seeking for attention. 2 Likes |

Ersan: I don't have to claim anything. Niger is indeed a Sahelian country, it has always been and will always be. Your Nigeria on the other hand ![]() I'm dying laughing at "Niger and northern Nigeria ethnically and culturally are pretty much the same". I bet you wrote that lie with a straight face? It's pretty funny how far you're willing to go to entertain a lie you created in your head. the Sahel isn't exactly very advanced. Which is exacty why you shouldn't be dying to claim us. Since you're Sahelian and I'm not ![]() ![]() |
Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by Fulaman198(m): 4:46pm On Aug 19, 2017 |
annieruok: You call me dumb yet you fail to realise that Sahelian is not a nationality. Nigerian is a nationality, Nigerien is a nationality, Malien/Malienne is a nationality, Ivorien/Ivorienne is a nationality, Senegalese is a Nationality. Since you can not understand the difference between what a nationality is and an ethnicity, I have circumvented that you are not an African. Most Africans understand the difference. Anyone who has been to Niger and Nigeria know that the cultures are similar. There are Hausa in Niger, there are Hausa in Nigeria. There are Fulbe in Niger, there are Fulbe in Nigeria. There are Zarmanci (Zarma/Sonrai) in Nigeria, there are Zarma/Songhoy in Niger, there are Kel-Tamashaq in Niger as there is in Nigeria. If you do not understand these simple principles, then I am wasting my time with you. 1 Like |

annieruok: Go and get an education, child. By the way, I am not Sahelian. I am from Southern Nigeria. Southern Nigerians are not Sahelians; and we do not feel the need to claim Sahelian. Why the hell should we? But if you think the the people who live in the Northern Nigerian plains - people like the Fula, the Hausa, the Kanuri - are not as every bit Sahelian as their next-door neighbours in Niger and Chad, you are uneducated, very uneducated. I don't care what political organisations you have that do not include Northern Nigerians - the Sahel is not a political entity; it is a geographical zone, pure and simple. Did you ever think that Africa's colonial history and the separation of brother from brother by the colonial boundaries drawn by the Europeans accounts for these fictitious lines you've drawn up in your head about who is Sahelian and who isn't? No you haven't thought about that. Do you think it is a coincidence that all the countries you recognise as Sahelian are Francophone? The Francophone Hausa in Niger is Sahelian, but the Anglophone Hausa of Northern Nigeria is not, despite the fact that they share the same customs, follow the same religion, and live in the same geographical zone. The Francophone Fulani spread from Senegal to Mali are Sahelian, but the ones in the plains of Northern Nigeria are not? Kanuri sub-groups are in Niger and Chad; they are Sahelian there, but the ones in Borno State, Northeastern Nigeria are not? Your world view is too, too narrow. Everything you know about Nigeria probably come from associating with Southern Nigerians, or watching Southern Nigerian films and music videos. If you knew the first thing about the far north of Nigeria you wouldn't be embarrassing yourself so. Go and get an education. 3 Likes |

Fulaman198: I call you dumb simply because you are. You have no point so you keep writing the same thing over and over again. The funny thing is that you actually think you're doing something. No part of Nigeria is in the Sahel. I'm not writing this to be mean, that's a fact. I don't know why you guys insist on claiming an identity that was never yours to claim. |

No you haven't thought about that. My brothers and sisters are the people I share a common history with, languages with, cultures with. Not your ilk. Not being mean, just honest.

Re: Ethnic Groups And Physical Appearance by annieruok: 5:05pm On Aug 19, 2017 |
Fulaman198: You sure are. And you should own it instead of clinging to something you'll never be. I see no one answered this: if it's common knowledge that Nigerians are indeed Sahelians how come we are totally indifferent when it comes to you? Why is there no reciprocity if we're indeed the same and everyone knows that? |
