duurh..... thank god for colonization, Igbos now know what Cotton and Guns are.

I dont want to take it in this direction, but since your are actively pushing it there...

Anyways Im outta here.

And who told you I'm Igbo? I see you can abuse other people when your own heroes needed a foreign ideology to become something substantial, no? Stupid cow jockey.

Come talk to me when your Fula tribe make history books about African history - and not radical Islamic books about jihad in asteroid-worshipping-ragheads-dominated Saudi Arabia, plonker.

Bororojo:

The fact that you have your own personal problems with the Fulbe doesn't make us any less important....

See How European Explorers into Africa described the Fulani:



........ the Yoruba, Edo, Mande et all, were all there as at the time that statement was made.

Dude, leave the Edo out of this. I've been watching this bizarre spectacle of a thread for a while, but don't make me descend on this thread with negative quotes about the Fulanis from Europeans. Anybody can find a European explorer who thought this or that about some group, it doesn't mean that their statement about the personal attributes of that African group is necessarily true. And do you actually think all the quotes about Fulanis from European writers are positive? I can assure you that this is not the case.

My tribe and Fulani's should NEVER be in the same sentence - that's utterly disrespectful. Hence why I haven't really said nothing about my tribe on this thread!

yeah, and i noticed didn't say anything either in her backhanded comments on the first page.

... hmmm, i smell ethnic-bias laced with "race-based philosophy"

or, is this thread purely a lust for fulani d-ck? perhaps searching for a fulani male who will use sharo to shine the kongo? grin

i maybe wrong on all counts tho.

Bororojo:

You are soo silly...mande are an Ethno-Linguistic group, Just like Bantu, Dravadian, Germanics and celts....But you probably dont realize that.... they are npt a monolithic group like Yoruba or Fulani or Kikuyu...do you get it??

lol, so Fulanis aren't a heterogeneous group now? Even when every person with a half a drop of Fulani blood in them seems to be claimed as Fulani? The same Fulani that are widely described as heterogeneous are now "monolithic"? What a joke.

Fulanis are more Influential, Numerous and well known than Mandenka, or Bambara, etc.

from Issa Hayatou, to Ahijo to Yar'Adua to Macky Sall to Dan Fodio to Modibbo Adama, to Umar Tall.... even here within Nigeria i can count 4 governors off my fingers who are fulano, from Murtala Nyako to Isa Yuguda.
Fulanis make good Music, are good statesmen and Politicians, are good nomads, are great at Business {Fulanis dominate the business sphere in Guinea and Sierra Leone}, are good farmers, Are Kings and Emperors, ........

The Mande speaking people founded Gao, ancient Ghana, and Mali. Really, that should end the discussion right there. I really shouldn't have to elaborate on the significance of that and how that makes them more influential, so if you have any questions, hit the books.

We should give credit where its due. Fulanis are the supreme race in WestAfrica. Politically, militarily, academically, economically, agriculturally, no other tribe or race of people in West Africa has accomplished as the Fulanis have.

The Great Mandinkas, their brothers the Wolofs, the fearsome Hausa States,were all routed and subdued by Fulani. Fulani have ruled in all the West Afrivan countries, whether anglophone or francophone. Here in Nigeria, except for Yoruba and Kanuri, evrryone they came in contact with was easily subdued. Binis were lucky the Fulani onslaught was repulsed by Yoruba, they would have been history like the Hausas.

This is what excessive praise and undeserved hype does for some people who already have a distorted perception of things. The idea/claim of this thread is really too strange for me to bother addressing in detail, but I advise people who believe stuff like this above to simply pick up some books and get some real perspective.

The Great Mandinkas, their brothers the Wolofs, the fearsome Hausa States,were all routed and subdued by Fulani. Fulani have ruled in all the West Afrivan countries, whether anglophone or francophone. Here in Nigeria, except for Yoruba and Kanuri, evrryone they came in contact with was easily subdued. Binis were lucky the Fulani onslaught was repulsed by Yoruba, they would have been history like the Hausas.

The Fulanis were repeatedly defeated by states like Mali that surrounded their heartland. They were simply never a dominant force in their own wider home region until long after more powerful states had declined in power. Mali (the empire of the Mandinka people) was not really defeated by the Fula, but by a fellow Mande speaking group, the Bamana, and they were only bested by the Bamana after their power had declined from what it had been following numerous conflicts with other groups and internal conflicts. It's easy to claim to have bested a group such as the Mandinka that were more powerful than your own group, by referring to a conquest of a less powerful state (Bamana) that happened long after Mandinka power had already declined, but that doesn't mean anyone will actually believe the claim. The Wolof were conquered by the French. Or are the French now being claimed as Fulani too?

The claim on Benin is funny.grin Are you geographically challenged? Yoruba is and was not between the Fulani and Benin, so talk about being saved from the same fate as the Hausas because of that is silly. The Fulanis had a direct route south to Benin through Nupe, but they didn't attempt to conquer Benin itself after they (Fulanis) had gained control of Nupe, even though they had decades to try it (from 1836 onwards). Maybe they might have realized that their horsemen were generally useless in the rainforest area and especially against people armed with guns. Or maybe it was the fact that they were unable to conquer places in the Middle Belt area that were weaker than Benin so they couldn't even contemplate going further directly south. Or maybe it was both. Also, the conflict between Benin and the British that resulted in the conquest of Benin was fought almost entirely with guns (on both sides, although the British were much better equipped), as attested to by the British themselves, and Benin produced some of its own guns locally. The Fulani of the Sokoto Caliphate were still almost entirely using bows, arrows, swords and spears, even up to the time of their conquest by the British. If they had tried invading Benin, the Fulanis probably would have been shot dead off their horses while stumbling around stup1d and lost in the forests.

@ , I see that you actually liked AdoZazzau's "Fulani master race" post. I saw your username as the only username under the "viewing this topic" list, not long after he made that post, then soon after your name was on the viewing list, there was 1 like for his post. Are you a Yoruba Muslim from somewhere in Kwara who has heavy Fulani roots/ancestry or something? Or Did a Fulani man save your whole family? What's with this distorted perception of the Fulanis?

I don't have anything against the Fulanis, except for their seeming unwillingness to try to rein in and control the violent nomadic pastoralists among them, and I can certainly see how someone could be a fan of their unique culture or history. Now, if there were really such great evidence for the dubious claim this thread is centered around, I might actually accept it, and I think that some other people would as well, but so far, it seems like only you and the two Fulani posters on this thread actually believe the claim.

Somalia troll, Fulanis intermarried with people from many of the groups that they came into persistent contact with, both in the Niger Valley region and in other places like Nigeria, provided the person was Muslim. Kwara state in Nigeria is just one of several examples of this. Anyway, even if what you posted was really true (it doesn't seem to be borne out by reality), it's not what I asked about.
