Igbos cry Everytime that they are marginalized but think of the Hausas that Fulani came in and conquered. The Yorubas may serve the caliphate politically but the Hausas are the real slave. For what history tells us. Foolanis are visitors.

Hausas sacrificed everything to the Fulani.

Fulani is a minority tribe in Nigeria but very vicious and domineering.

Yes!

Hausas used to be a very simple tribe and straight forward people. I always tell people that the violent part of Hausas was taught by Fulanis. Hausas were slaughtered and conquered. Their spirit have been subdued forever.

Hausas learnt their senseless vile nature as a result of treatment they suffered from the Fulanis.

Fulani invaded and conquered the North. They continue southwards and history according Johnson's Account of Yorubas the Fulanis were only stopped at Oshogbo by joint efforts of brave yoruba warriors from Ibadan, Modakeke and Co...

In essence Fulanis are hostile by default and seek to overtake and hijack sovereignty from whoever they meet where they settle. And because they are Normadic people dealing only with animals (movement), they do not engage in cropping (plants), due to constant migration which automatically means they are constant strangers anywhere!

Someone will always own the land they migrate to. Fulanis by nature are latecomers who want to dominate and claim ownership by force and vile methods.

Dan fodio fought Hausa rulers only when they attack him first (for self defence)in order to stop him from preaching the true teaching of Islam which was diluted at that time by the Hausa King with Idol worshiping like tsumburbura and barbushe idols in kano. and that's is what Dan fodio fought against. he was attacked, his students killed, their wealth burnt down by those rulers just because he preachea against mixing Islam with idol worshiping. and that is when he took the action of self defence.

he did not fight to rule totally but to ensure the true teaching of Islam and fought against those tyrant rulers of that time who are dictators and oppressors of their subject. that is even why he get support of local Hausa people there.

Note : any other reason you would get is fabricated by the enemies of Islam. if you want to know shehu Dan fodio , go and read his book and what he teach. and you will know the true reason why he fought those rulers. and yes the entire Nigerian Muslims are happy he did because if not we would not find a true Islam as we did today

Look at your logic, we must read his book to know. The entire Nigeria Muslim are not happy about his actions. Intelligent Muslim know that Usman Dan fodio jihad was a political tool used to conquered Northern Nigeria for himself and family.

Islam has been part of different part of Nigeria before Usman was born. This is the story you Fulani elite and their accomplice tell uneducated masses to continue to use their head.

xtophy:
PLEASE, WHAT IS THE MORAL LESSON OF THIS STORY?

to know ur story and see where and what make the fulani tribe conquer the huasa. Or how the buhari tribe claim nigeria

agwom:
Jihad war still...

what I don't understand is how does usman Dan fodio fighting hausa kingdoms can be referred to as JIHAD when the religion practiced in that kingdom is Islam?

Nowenuse:


The Hausas are a very shameless and subservient race. Anyway, Hausa elites are enjoying their bond with the fulanis. So, they do not care anymore.

The fulanis also helped to spread Hausa language far & wide, so I think it is now somewhat more of a symbiotic relationship.

Cc ball.erin

LOL..You crack me up.
Fulani are so perfidious that they stole too much from the Hausas and gave them too little.
Hausa language was retained as a compensation having destroyed their empire and identity.
Pls can you explain the fraud behind the so called " Hausa/Fulani" appendage?

@seun @lalasticlala you guys need to close this topic....This is not the right time to spread this history about fulani domination. These write ups usually fan the embers of war and Nigeria will end up like Rwanda

It is a matter of time before hatred of fulani spills into the streets in the south and blood starts to flow....The past is gone, we only need information relevant to us and this is not part of them

You might not agree with me, but no one will read this without bearing hatred for the fulani tribe, if people are interested in history they can find and read up on this part of Nigerian history

@seun do not promote hate

Philistine:

Any evidence to prove that Yoruba's are in alliance with Fulani since 1965. It seems u belong to the indomie generation, go and inquire from your parents and elders at home how Azikiwe, Ekwueme and Co served the Fulani's meritoriously in the 60's and 70's

1965, Akintola /Balewa alliance. 1967-70, Awo /Gowon. 1972-75 Wey/Gowon. 1975 /76, Murtala/Obasanjo. 1976 /79 Obasanjo /Yar adua. 1984-5, Buhari/Idiagbon. 1995-98, Abacha/Diya. 1999-2003, Obasanjo /Atiku. 2015/19, Buhari /Osinbajo.

With the Jihad,
the Fulani destroyed & erased Hausa culture.

As of today, only Hausa have no culture
or tradition, everything is according to
Islamic tenets.

As if they were nonentities before the arrival
of Danfodio & his fanatics.

Nice

# It baffle me seeing some Muslims defending that terrorist called Uthman Dan Fodio. He only took after his grand terrorist master Ibn Abdulwahab.

Empiree

What really confuses me is when all muslims agreed that our Amir in Nigeria should always come from the house of this same Dan Fodio but reverse is the case with Al-ul-Biath.

Wait o, that's means Daura, Buhari's so called village actually belonged to the hausas.

Islam and idol worshiping in Nigeria are like 5 and 6.
All the Islamic marabout's uses Qur'an and Hadith's to perform ritual's.
Usman Dan'Fadio was able to conquer the Hausa's because they have the blood of followers/slaves and not leaders in them.
The Kanuris,Tiv and co., the whole southern Nigeria resisted them and send them back to Ilorin. The Benin Empire stopped them at Auchi and warned them to turn back with their religion anywhere they see the red sand.

Gbam!

It is because fullanis merged with Hausa in Nigeria which was heavily supported by the British, that is why fulanis have so much power in Nigeria.


In Senegal, where the fulanis originated, they were badly dealt with and placed under by the Wolof people.

In Guinea where they also originated, they are the majority there o, but the Mandinka & Susu united there with the other minority tribes and are dealing with them over there and subjugating them there.

Fulanis cannot dare display their madness in Mali or Burkina faso. The Bambara & Mossi people will use them for Suya over there.

At the time of independence in Cameroon, fulanis were initially dominating, but now, the other tribes of Cameroon have cut them into bits and placed them where they belonged.

Even in Niger republic where there are millions of fulanis with majority Hausa population, yet the Zarma people are in charge.

Only in Nigeria & Gambia do the fulanis seem to be dominating.

The fulanis are not dominating nigeria. How many fulanis have ruled nigeria. Obasanjo, jonathan, azikiwe, shonekan, aguiyi ironsi, orizu nwafor etc all held sway in nigeria at certain times. Please stop misleading the world with your ignorant trash.

See why there is no need for them to have Arewa when they have overrun the Hausa, the Middle Belt (which they are still killing) defeated Biafra with help of England, and even have an Emir in Ilorin with free access to Yoruba Nyash anytime any day.

You are part of the people that will hide the truth about biafran war, hide the truth about Afonja and how he lost Ilorin, hide the truth about everything that's why a lot of people don't know their history and where they came from.
The whites committed a lot of atrocities but the history is there for all to see.

But the black man will hide the history, that's why history was removed from our schools and a lot speak ignorantly

Stop peddling falshood here. The world is reading this. The fulani never defeated biafra/igbos. The nigeria civil war was a national war. All ethnic groups fought that war. Some igbos even fought for nigeria's unity. Please stop writig rubbish here. There seems to be too many semi-literate zombies here, exposing their mental defeat and subservience to illiterate fulanis.

Mind yoy, the fulanis never attacked igbo territory back in the days of their madness. Go and ask them why? They know its only igbos they cant mess with. They know.

I can see that you are pained but history can't be hidden or re-wrote.
Daura Buhari's so called village in Katsina belongs to Hausas not fulanis.

No part of Tivland fell to the caliphate, no wonder the vengeance on them by fulani herdsmen and soldiers. So Parts of oyo state River Niger, and parts of Taraba belong to Sokoto eh?
They shoukd be contented with dipping the Koran in two Rivers. Why aim for ocean when river is purer for the cows? chai!

Asquare84:
Op. You need to add how the jihad was stop in benue state because usman dan fodio has already hosted his flag in the Atlantic ocean, thank God for the corregous effort of benue warrior if not the whole of Nigeria would av been islamise. How benue manage to stop the jihad is a whole topic for another day

The answer is simple, each time sokoto try to send a huge army down,Damagaram and Borno send their own armies also to the northern boarders of the caliphate. Damagaram is a kingdom in Niger republic, were the remaining royal house of Gobir move together with their army and their 200 cannons.There were never any major war with the Tiv.In 1825 the Fulani were busy fighting kanuri,elkanami send 30000 men to capture Baluchi.If not for this distractions,i assure u Tivs were not a major power then to take on the caliphate army.

carpmam:
The jihad is still on now,very soon the fulani will conquer the whole Hausa and middle belt inclusive

Ok we don hear. After capturing the north and middle belt it will be the south, abi? To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

ballerin:
And he eventually met his death in the hands of the Tivs... He killed by the sword and he died by the sword..

Shame to the Hausas,the most spineless, weakest & slavish tribe of all, generations after, yet they remained too doomed to take back what is rightfully theirs. What a shame

It is too late for the hausas. If they complain they are shown the koran, if they rebel they are reminded about law and order, and exploits of prophet Danfodio SAW.
