Abiyamọ: Hausas are not Fulanis and Fulanis are not Hausas, I thought I stated that.

Too bad for you then.
Re: The Fulanis, Africa's Most Influential Tribe by Nobody: 1:55am On May 27, 2013
Abiyamọ: I still don't know where you got the strange idea of Fulanis not speaking Fulfulde from...lol! Each time you say that, I can't stop laughing. Do I have to count the number of states where Fulfulde is spoken to you ni?

How many of them speak the language?

somalis are better than fulanis in every way.


Fulanis are ok looking by negroid standards but many fulanis look like negroids
only very few have nice hair.


while somalis are known for their hair and features.

Somalis have ancient history that links them with trade to egypt, arabia, asia, ottoman empire a d persians



fulanis saying their good looking makes sense by west african standards

but if u compare a somali or ethiopian to fulani its not even close

Abiyamọ: Don't shoot yourself in the foot na. No tribe in West Africa has produced more heads of state than the Fulanis. Go read again. Mansa Musa is dead and we know his worth. Dangote is alive and his possibilities are endless. He can very well be the richest man in the world (actually, he believes he will be). Well, not a few believed he would be the world's richest black so no qualms. The Sokoto Caliphate built by the Fulanis endures till date, all we have of the ancient Mali Empire are ruins now desecrated by Islamist rebels. Abi no be so? As for footballers, I refer you back to the list. grin

Did you miss where someone corrected you on dangote's ethnicity?

Shouldnt you stop arguing sometimes?

Yes, you are right, we should blame CAF because Super Eagles have not gone to the World Cup. grin Your Timbuktu still remains a Muslim enclave. You only deny that at your own peril. Some of the most important features in Timbuktu may be of African architecture but they clearly serve an Islamic purpose abi you've forgotten Sankore Mosque ni? And in case you don't know, Timbuktu is a World Heritage Site today because of its Islamic influence. The World Heritage Committee in 1988 selected Timbuktu because of the following criteria:

Criterion II: Timbuktu's holy places were vital to early Islamization in Africa.
Criterion IV: Timbuktu's mosques show a cultural and scholarly Golden Age during the Songhay Empire.
Criterion V: The construction of the mosques, still mostly original, shows the use of traditional building techniques.

So, as you can see, your talk of Timbuktu as a 'scholastic centre for higher learning' is just Soyinka grammar. Unless you meant 'Islamic scholastic center for higher learning'. Yeah, I got this for you from Wiki: Timbuktu was a world centre of Islamic learning from the 13th to the 17th century, especially under the Mali Empire and Askia Mohammad I's rule. So, if you want to promote your black or white consciousness, leave Timbuktu out of it. Maybe you go southwards to Ngola. wink
shymexx:

The question is: was that empire built on the back on Jihad - Yes, or no? And no, Timbuktu isn't a center of Islamic heritage - it's a scholastic centre for higher learning. Also, the architectures in Timbuktu are quintessentially African architectures. Can you show me anywhere else in Africa that looks like that? The only place with similar architectures is Nubia.

What's special about CAF? Comparing an influential man(Sekou Toure) who's among the top-20 greatest African people to walk this planet - to a CAF that's inconsequential is not just it. Do African even play professional football? Remind me when an African country gets to semi-finals or finals of the world cup. CAF is irrelevant!

Fulanis are only good at cattle rearing, Yet Various African head of states past and present have been Fulani
They are only goot at cattle rearing, yet they have produced famous Musicians
They are only good at at cattle rearing, yet they have produced academia and Business people.
They are only good at at cattle rearing,, yet they have produced Kings past and present........

You mean the same ret.arded and uneducated Head of States that have made the countries they reigned over redundant? Can you name any notable Fulani's Head of State, that's worth mentioning?

What academia are you yapping about? All tribes in Nigeria can boast of far superior acadamics than everything Fulani tribe from Cameroon to Futa Djallon can offer.

Your IQ is in the 10th decimal.

All the Fulani people in Northern Nigeria speak Hausa as their first language - fact!

Nigeria has the largest population of Fulani's - yes, or no?

And if the ones in Nigeria don't speak fulbe, that shows that more than 50% of your people don't speak your language. So evidently, you don't speak your language.

The Fulanis are Widely dispersed, and Wherever they can be found in the midst of other populations, they mostly adopts the language of the majority in that society. Just the same Way Igbos in Yorubaland speak Yoruba, due to condition.

Wherever the concentration oof Fulanis move anywhere close to even 40% However, they stick to their own, and even dominate....
Check the three Northern provinces of Cameroon, Fulfulde is not only the major language there, but a LINGUA FRANCA for communication between various ethnicities.

not yet, but i see it coming... coz after all, oyibo don talk am already...

Physically, except where miscegenation over several generations has blurred the image, they run remarkably true to type. It is possible, for example, to pick Fulani out of a group of other Africans with much greater certainty than, say, Scandinavians out of a group of Europeans. Typical Fulani approximate closely to their own physical ideals of light copper-coloured skin, straight hair, narrow nose, thin lips, and a slight but wiry frame.

okay, lets use Nigeria s a case study the Yorubas and Igbos combined are Insignificant in the history of Nigeria, because for most of our History, Powr has resided in the North..... With Fulanis mostly working out the power deals, behind the scene.
