fanficgirl: Yeah the first script is called Borama and it is still kept alive although it's not in use. The second script one is called Osmanya. Some people are trying to revive it by teaching it in some schools. This initiative will fail because it's seen as an exclusive script that belongs to one clan (my clan lol). There are 2 or 3 others, but the oldest Somali script is either Sumado (number 3) or a somewhat unknown script that looked similar to the Sabaen script. 1 Like

Nowenuse:True in some case. I think the Nomadic ones are still a significant bunch of the Fulani population and are responsible for the unity. Urban Fulanis who settle down are more likely to loose aspects of their culture easily though. The true remains as long as you have a significant Fulani nomads, the unifying factor is still fortified even if there are town Fulanis. Fulani nomads don't really recognize political boarders since they are nomads and yes westernization is linked with it. Imagine a scenario where there are no more nomadic Fulanis and they all settled in towns and all became educated in Western education and they are politically/culturally separated from other Fulanis for 150 years. Do you think the unifying factor will be the same as it is today? 1 Like |

Nowenuse: I don know buh am not sure. First of all i am a christian and most of them are muslims and that disqualifies first. Cultural difference is also a huge prob. I don't find skinny guys attractive and most of them are skinny (like our president) The way other sub saharan african (non horner) men look. Like Idris Elba or Gbenro Ajibade. Or black rugby players or boxers like Anthony Joshua That's my definition of masculinity. 1 Like |

genieluv: Black rugby players? Where do you find them? Rugby is a white sport. You hardly find black people playing rugby. Why did so many girls start crushing on Anthony Joshua since he won Klitschko? hardly before then Seems like you admire only muscular guys? Many women and later when the muscular guy tests his muscles on their pretty face, they cry domestic violence. Smh. |

9jakool: It might not be as strong as it is today, but it will still be stronger than other tribes. Fulanis just seem to be very smart people, and power hungry too. You could imagine how they dominated Cameroon politically for decades with just about 10% of the population of the country. |

Nowenuse:I think education is needed before some pan-Yoruba unification. You can't work on unification if there are still Yorubas who aren't aware of native Yoruba subgroups in other countries. My field is science related, but I still like history and culture nonetheless. Yorubas in those countries recognize their individual sovereignty before identifying as Yoruba. However I think some groups like Ketu, Anago and Sabe recognize both their sovereign identity and the umbrella identity at the same time since they border Nigeria. In Benin republic census, the subgroups are classified as individuals and also group under the Yoruba banner. In Togo's census the Yoruba groups are classified as individual ethnic groups. To summarize, the Yoruba in Benin use the term more than those in Togo. Standard/written Yoruba language from Nigeria is based from Oyo and Ibadan dialects. The de facto standard-dominant-media dialect in Benin is the Anago dialect from Porto-Novo which is actually close and mutually intelligible to the standard Yoruba of Nigeria. The standardized dialect of Togo is the Ana-Ife dialect which is very different from that of Nigeria and has a different writing system. As for Hausa, I want to ask how much of the Hausa (percentage) from Niger can you understand because I tell you that some Yoruba dialects are impossible to understand by most. As for the bolded, I also think the problem is most Yorubas in Nigeria are not as connected to those in Togo and Benin. However, a very small percentage of Yorubas surprisingly are connected to those countries especially those along the boarder. Western Ogun and Western Lagos state is where you can see this at best. The town of Idiroko, Ogun state is actually on the border and is both located in Naija and Benin. People in those areas regularly cross borders to trade and visit families. When the French and British split Yorubaland, they also split across families. Many people on the Nigerian boarders in Ogun state have relatives residing in Benin republic and vice versa. Ipokia in Ogun state is an Anago town and the same Anagos are found in Ifagni(Ifonyi) and Porto Novo(Ajase-ile) in Benin. Yorubas in Imeko Afon Lga in Ogun are of Ketu subgroup and the same Ketu-Yoruba are found in Ketu town, Idigny(Idiyin) across the border in Benin. The Alaketu of Ketu once said that his people watch Ogun state television instead of the Benin rep state tv just because the Ogun state tv broadcast in Yoruba compare to the Benin state tv which broadcasts only in French. Some Yoruba in Benin along the border can even speak English. |

fanficgirl: I blame the lack of research. Europe and Asia have been dug out and laid bare to the rest of the world. Whilst many places in Africa have been hampered by poverty, political instability and safety issues. Expect many historical findings in Africa as the continent moves forward. As long as you can read it then it is very easy to translate to English. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nowenuse: I really don't know. I don't understand what you mean by which will cost more. Looking at the projects, they will both cost billions of dollars. The better one will depend on the final outcome of the project. For now we can't tell if they will stick to the original plans or not but I think Lagos has more advantages because it is beside the sea and it is the commercial nerves of the country. I don't know the size of Centenary City Abuja. |
