Erase our culture? Why does every single imbe cile on naira land keep repeating this rubbish? Our culture is still very much intact. Culture is a way of life, our culture is very much different from all other Muslims bar the aspects of Islam except similarities with other sahelians like the fulanis as well. And what do you mean middle East myth?

Mind you I hold no sentiment towards fulanis and never will, history of hausas has always been one of migration and rebirth. E g how the abagayawas were overthrown by maguzawas and so on in Kano. Various sub groups have often come into Hausa land and dominated even before the fulanis, only difference is the fulanis somewhat united the hausas states who have never been truly cointegrated.

And can you stop it with this nonsense? Dikko is a Fulani surname. Dikko is a Fulani man, stop it. Period. Why do you barmy lot keep telling us about our own people? A Hausa man tells you he's fulani, a Fulani man tells you he's Fulani, but you're neither and you know better than us yeah?

Usmanu Zamnagawa (ruled 1343-1349)

Daud Abasama II (ruled 1776-1781)
Muhammad al-Walid (ruled 1781-1805)

This is the list of some of the hausa rulers of Kano until the last one before a Fulani ruler. If you're implying hausas abandoned their names because of fulanis then you're in need of education. Notice it's a mixture of mainly Islamic and cultural names like most hausas use today.

Just checked your posts to confirm you're a south easterner who apparently created his account solely to bash fulanis. If I had seen this earlier I would have definitely not bothered to write all of that. Mark me, I have completely given up on you lot.

And this is precisely the problem. Call me a bigot or whatever I really don't care. We've done nothing wrong. All we've done is represent this country in the best way possible like our culture teaches us. Yet because some people we are supposed to share an identity with are hell bent on destroying the Nigerian name it's all useless, plus most of the Nigerians abroad are them so that makes us, the "good ones" minorities that some don't even know exist.

I guess they're starting to get smarter, they used to hate all Nigerians now they ask or can outright tell where your from. Personally I have never been a victim of any blatant racism here because most assume I'm not Nigerian or they know we can't all be the same and when I tell them I have never met one who wasn't surprised that I'm not a complete savage. That's how bad it is, our name is synonymous with savagery and if you look at the actions of so called "Nigerians" you can't blame them.

And do you know some of these "Nigerians" go to these countries supposedly seeking asylum from book haram?

Good luck with your 1 Nigeria agenda but I assure you it will never work. Because you have people like me who will never be forced into this identity and on their part even with their shortcomings they feel superior. I knew we were different, but I was never a bigot. Now I find this extreme hatred growing in my heart and I know it's wrong but the more I try to resist the more they keep pushing me further off the ledge. Heck where Im living now my consideration was to find somewhere secluded and expensive Nigerians can't infiltrate, little did I know this black mold has spread everywhere. Some nights I hear these bastards partying and shouting up stairs and imagine what o
the locals are thinking? I guess you're a bigger man than I am.

We can try to remain on non hostile terms but one Nigeria is an illusion that will soon disappear after the magic spell has become ineffective.

Yes I know him. Fulani man from Sokoto. Car designer for Chevy. I think the president gave him an appointment recently did he not?


Funny enough, your northern leaders destroyed Nigeria through their unbridled corruption and nepotism.

From shagari, babangida, abacha and the current nepotic old fool.

Thank God you agree the country should cease to exist. Spread the world to your emirs.

I already acknowledged pmb tried in terms of security in Borno and environs. But what about other states that killings are on d increase on daily basis.. Benue, Taraba, Zamfara etc..






You can't blame all past leaders excluding your tribesmen for destroying Nigeria.. That was the genesis of this argument ai.




Pmb has failed the masses in Nigeria.. Everything is hard for the poor masses. All his policies are affecting d masses more than anyone. Everything is at d increase; Food, water, Nepa, fuel even biscuits and chingums are not sparedgrin.. The same person who promised the masses heaven on earth was dsame person saying; ' the masses are impatient'. Or has he suddenly forgotten when he said.. Nigerians are not supposed to be buying fuel more than 45/litre during Gej's tenure when there was an increased in fuel price, but now when he's d minister of petroleum and d presido d prices have almost double and there's still queuegrin








What are they going to investigate again pertaining d GYALLESU midnight massacred when it's obvious; Buhari, Buratai and El rufai are masterminds behind d killings couple with some religious leaders who came out openly to praised d Govt for a job weldonegrin








You deserve a presidential award for saying the truth and sticking to the truth.

They excluded their own incompetent brother buhari from the list of useless leaders but are blaming others yet they say their is no discrimination in the north.

You are the first northerner I have seen that is bold enough to say the truth a stick to it.

You have my full respect

Almajiri? Lol! How did you figure out I was a student? Is it that obvious?

calm down you ape. No need to start jumping up and down.

First of all, you staged the first coup in this country killing the best leader we will ever have. Any political or social decay that happened afterwards is a domino effect of what you monkeys did.

We have every right to complain when we get bumped together with people who have nothing to do with us. One can argue all regions have their flaws but at least we keep it within the country. You lot on the other hand have to go about spreading your monkey culture all over the place.

You are doing better than us yet your region remains a shii t hole. If you're doing better than us then why are you always blaming us for your woes? Confused are you?

Shariah would be a bonus, best part about it would be we no longer have to be associated with weak spineless morally corrupt monkeys.

The point of argument is we can blame our problems on education and we take responsibility for that but you lot lack any hope of redemption. You are brainless apes and always have been and that is why education will never work for you.

Now you can go jump up and down and murderer a few dozen lice somewhere else small fry. Biri da wando.

Lol. We don't want a Hausa king. We are fine with what we have. As far as we are concerned we see no difference between fulanis kanuris etc and us where it truly matters.

And Hausa is not a tribe or tribes, it's an ethnicity.

I think the question should be
1. Why should the sultan of sokoto, a Fulani, be the paramount ruler not only in sokoto (a Hausa Land) but in the entire north?

2. If the hausa have traditional rulers, why are they not well represented when compared to the Fulani Emirs?

LOL if we are not complaining why are you complaining for us? If the Fulani rulers had shown favouritism or imposed alien ideals or represented us in a way we felt wasn't befitting of what we stand for that would be a different thing but that's not the case. We as a people as far as I know aren't worried about who holds the throne which BTW in today's era is less influential than a state governor. If you want to keep looking for ethnic divisions keep that to the south and to your people. Leave us alone please.

I can categorically tell you that people of Jigawa do discriminate other Hausa's not a jigawaite

I have been there, when we complained of Jigawa inter tribal discrimination,the people there had to tell us that Jigawa people Even discriminate them that are Hausa and not from Jigawa.

I really dont know if it was based on religion

But what I know is day do discriminate even the Hausa's not from Jigawa state.


That is discrimination based on State of Origin not based on tribe. As I said earlier Northwesterners are prone to discriminate base on that.

Nobody is looking for ethnic division. If you want to be ruled by the Fulani on the lands of your fore fathers that's your own headache.

It shouldn't stop me from asking why.

So if you can answer the question, kindly answer it, if not let another who can give a better insight on this do so.

And I gave you an answer. Because we have no reason to pursue what you're talking about. The sultan of Sokoto is the leader of northern emirs because after bill foduyes jihad the capital of the caliphate was set at Sokoto and as such his successors have remained at the helm of affairs ever since.

No such thing as land of fore fathers. As long as you're a sahelian. Tuareg or Fula or Wolof or mandinka who share a similar culture with us. As far as I'm concerned you're my kin. That's the way it has always been.

Yeah, I am aware about the sultan of sokoto and how he was installed.

But I was informed by another Hausa on another history related thread that Emirs are Fulani rulers not hausas. While Seriki (I hope I got the spelling right) are hausas leaders/rulers.

That's what prompted me to wonder why the serikis are not fully represented on their own lands when compared to the emirs who seem to have alot of power far above the owners of the land.

As far as I know even the fula kings in hausaland are referred to as sarki which just means king and that's the point. These people are culturally Hausa which is what matters most and have done a good job at preserving this culture.

Depends on what you mean by represented. And stop saying "own lands"? What makes it their land?

And how much power Fula emirs hold doesn't matter, like I said. It's how they use it. In the end why try to go about digging divisions amongst people especially in the north west where it's hard to distinguish between them? Did you know a good amount of Hausa lower class made up fodios army? Fodio who he himself grew up in Hausa land?


Like I mentioned earlier, other sahelians have overthrown earlier hausas kings before so this is not a new trend. Only difference is they are fully immersed as hausas today but Fula settlers were more recent, starting to settle around the 13th century and have kept their identity quite well considering what happened to those before them.If youre looking for original settlers then that's impossible, so that's where I have issue with you saying their own land.
