centboy123456: Youbare obviously dumb and uneducated for saying that gibberish. Arabic, for your info, is the most spoken language in Africa and it is also an official language of the UN. Please stop displaying your ignorance here. Moreover, no single language determines one's literacy level. Even if you can only read and write in chinese you are a literatr 1 Like |

Firgemachar: Dear friend, actually, @fk001 is right and you are not quite correct. Careful review of history always helps to mitigate the risk of emotional reviews. When the British descended on Africa, they already had experience from colonial domination in the Arab world, Eurasia, Polynesia and the Americas. They had formed a system of categorizing the natives they encounter in their continued colonial conquest. Below are the simple items on the civilization scale which guide British opinion of their newly conquered peoples: a) religion - a monotheist society is superior to a polytheist one. b) government - a more centralized govt with multiple provinces is superior to a decentralized tribal system. c) literacy - a society that has developed writing and schooling system is superior to one with no written language or educational methods. d) international relations - a society with evidence of contact with the outside world is superior to one with only local existence. e) military - a society which can project war on its neighbours is superior to one with limited or no capacity for projection. In all 5 counts, the Hausa emirates with Fulani overlords ticked all boxes while no ethnic society in the south came anywhere near close. The Caliphate has Islam as official religion, run a central government based in Sokoto, has the Ajami writing script along with Arabic, conducted Hajj's to Mecca and Medina annually and have relations with Morocco, Egypt, Arabia and the Othoman world and was running its own petty colonial conquest already in the Niger basin before the British defeated them. From the above, it is clear that the British deferred to the Hausa's not because they were considered stupid. On the contrary, the British regarded the Northerners as more civilized than the rest of us. To add, the North was conquered eventually when Sokoto and Gobir fell in war around 1910 which is anywhere between 15 to 50 years after most of the South had been subjugated and fully pacified. We cannot say therefore, that the northerners submitted to the Brits. If Nigeria will move forward, we must all shed the petty emotional fables we were told by our ignorant grandfolks and find a way to bond together as a people to move us forward. Nigeria is all we got and may we not end up like Syria someday! 2 Likes 1 Share |

centboy123456:https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/food-travel-arts-culture/the-most-spoken-languages-in-africa-id8527360.html Go read ETV facts and check out other studies. Research results vary but most results show that Arabic is the most popular language. Even if it isnt, the fact that it is one of the largest (even in your source says it all) makes it an important language. Are you just obsessed with stupidity? You asked me to mention any African country that speaks arabic and i mentioned the entire Northan Africa to shut your mouth yet you are still blubbering. So you still want to argue about the UN issue right? Well, it is not my responsibility to emancipate you from ignorance. Continue fooling yourself with the belief that English is the only perfect language in the world.

so the english people were attracted to your arabic speaking and writing ability. the womb that carried you suffered chronic coccidiosis prior to your birth In every gathering there are positive and negative influence, just that the western illiteracy level is so obvious in the northern part of the country that doesn't mean that there are no illiterates in the south. BTW what do you mean by illiterate? Illiteracy is not all about how to speak or write in English, as far as you can read and write whether in Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic or French you are not an illiterate. I guess it is still a mystery to you on how the British back then prefer to relate with northerners than Easterners. When the British came to Nigeria, the North already knew how to read and write in Arabic while their Eastern counterpart were working naked. Cc friendNg Alhassanyusuf[/quote] |

kjhova: As true as your post attempts to be, it has a number of errors. 1. The north fell long before the south. As a matter of fact, the Yorubas were the last to fall. The unending Yoruba civil war made it even easier. Also the Ijebus resisted the Brits who fought them mainly with Hausa and other Yoruba soldiers until they no longer could. 2. Oyo empire and Bini kingdom meet all the criteria you suggested above save for the Ajami/Arabic reading and writing method. This itself is a product of cultural conquest by the Arabs. It wasn't of their making, the caliphate. 3. The caliphate couldn't conquer all of the north - Southern Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Kogi etc Ilorin is a peculiar case. Whatever conquest they have over other northern tribes today was awarded them by the Brits who actually enforced the idea of one monolithic Hausa north. All northern tribes were forced to learn and speak Hausa. 4. How come the northerners of fellow West African countries didn't meet same criteria for special recognition cum relationship? Ghana also has significant Hausa Fulani population yet the Brits didn't give them the special treatment meted out to their Nigerian counterparts. 1 Like |

Firgemachar: You seem genuinely interested in this topic therefore I shall engage you further to comment on the points you raised. Caveat is, you gotta totally offload your emotions and research history from a purely detached viewpoint. 1) The Caliphate fell long after the southern Kingdoms. Don't take my word for it, just do a cursory google search on "British colonization of Nigeria". Also, common sense application of geography to military strategy will show that the British, who invaded from the Atlantic coast, will not flank unconquered enemy forces in the south to go on a conquest up north. 2) At the end of the Yoruba civil war in 1888 to the eve of the fall of Benin in 1896, none of these civilizations had writing and none was projecting war outside its territory. They were also both polytheist society with governments nowhere near as complex as the bureaucracy of the Caliphate. 3) For all effect and purpose, the Fulani jihad did force Hausa hegemony over much of the tribes of the Kaduna, Niger and Benue basin. Yes, the Caliphate did not outrightly subjugate these peoples, however, they had enough dominion amongst them to be able to spread their influence over them. Sleep calls...later. |
