Fulaman198: I am not a "tribalist" or "someone who is only for my ethnic group." I am a "traditionalist" aka someone who wants indigenous cultures to remain the same and have no outside influence from Western cultures. I think that is what you are. When you use the word "tribalist" it is almost like saying you care only for yourself and for your people.

For example, many cultures in West Africa and Africa in general have become or are becoming Westernized (Igbos, Yoruba, SOME Hausa (mainly Nigeria)), Kikuyus in Kenya, Bamakan/Bambara in Mali/Senegal, Lingala peoples of Congo/Rwanda etc.) I am for Africans not having any sort of Western influence whatsoever. In fact, when I see Westerners from Europe or the Americas going to study the various kinds of Fulani people (Tukulor, Wodaabe and other Mbororos, Jelgobe, Gowabe, Liptaako, Fulakunda, etc. etc.) I get very angry because often these Westerners are studying us as if we are lab rats.

They may think they are doing a good thing, but in reality, they are not. They are exposing our culture(s) to the Western world. More and more each day you are seeing Westerners going to ancient lands of Africa (like Timbuktu for Festival in the desert) or Agadez/Chad border to witness Wodaabe Gerewol. This makes our cultures more Westernized.

I can go on all day about this, but what I want you to do is to start calling yourself a "traditionalist" someone who is for the preservation of Traditional culture worldwide and not a "tribalist." It has a bad tone to it.

PAGAN 9JA:
^NO WE CANNOT & WON'T. our traditional lifestyle has been messed up by the colonisers and we have reached a point of no return. today if we take a spear into the bush, we find hardly any animals left. how re we supposed tosurvive??!!!! no unless they put things right, we therefore are forced into accepting these new additions in order to survive in this world. it is our right.
you think we will just let them get away after stealing our resources and ruining our lives NEVER!

and anyways we are talking about indigenous matters .

The So-called phone You use...wasn't it Designed and Engineered by the Westners?
You can start embracing ur fulani cultures by being a herdsman...

Ileke-IdI:
When did Arab = Western culture?

When did Fulani = Arab culture?

I think you're confusing Hausa with Fulani.

~Royal~:


He preaches about how he does not want Western Culture influence...

Yet his own culture is Arabized.

.

Ileke-IdI:


So what do you mean by "yet". . . ?

I never said Fulanis were not Muslim.

What makes Fulani culture an arabized one? Apart from religion?

That's like saying Yorubas are Arabized; 50% Christian, 49% Muslim, 1% other. Rough estimate.

~Royal~:
How the hell could someone read my post and come away with me somehow saying Arab equals Western Culture...

You are lucky you are Beautiful lol

What the Hell.

~Royal~:

.......Apart from Religion?...Is this a Serious Question?

~Royal~:
LoL Oh many of you Nigerians are Arabized fools as well....
