Please, I do not take people's account anymore and justify my answer with it. How are you sure your history professors and scientists weren't wrong. Find your answers yourself. Haba, kuna diri, sho? grin


For example, once upon a time, historians said Africa had no civilization, but at a certian time evidence began to show up, and the things they kept in history books had to be changed....false intellect, isn't it?


We have nine planets, but it has been changed, Pluto is no longer a planet but a meteorite...false intellect, right?

But it's still being read in history and scientific books. grin

Sorry which book has ever quoted that? And mind you Abdussalam became president in 1998, but he was part of the provisional ruling council of the Army.
1996 is not very far that one will not remember

10. That money from the North funded oil exploration in the South. Northerners cherish this mysterious claim. But not a dime of northern Nigeria’s money contributed to oil exploration in the Niger Delta.

When oil was discovered in commercial quantities in Oloibiri in 1956, Shell bore the financial burden for the exploration. Other Euro-American oil companies later joined in oil exploration. It wasn’t until 1973 that the Nigerian federal government acquired 30 percent shares in oil companies. By 1973, Northern Nigeria had ceased to exist because it had been divided into states.

In any case, the South earned more money from palm oil, coal & cocoa than the North did from groundnuts and cotton. If the colonial government of the 1950s were interested in using government funds to explore oil in the South, it would use the South’s money, not the North’s. But neither colonial governments nor immediate post-independence regional and federal governments invested in oil exploration

I hope this is clear.

Islam forbids muslims from enslaving muslims? Doesn't it forbid murdering of fellow muslims too?

Or maybe muslims refuse to obey or they obey whichever that tickles their fancy.

You are very correct. Faruk needs to check up his facts.

Modified.

I just did a little research now.
Faruk is right. Never was it 'Born to rule'. It has always been 'Seat of the Caliphate'

7. That Usman Danfodiyo brought Islam to Nigeria. No, he didn’t. The presence of Islam in Nigeria, as I pointed out previously, preceded the Usman Danfodio jihad by several centuries. What Danfodio did was to reform Islam where it already existed. And this happened only in the 19th century. The earliest record of Islamic presence in northern Nigeria (in the ancient Kanem- Borno Empire to be specific) dates back to the 9th century, that is, just two centuries away from the birth of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula.

This claim is only half true. Usman Dan Fodio's jihad wanted to stop the animist religious systems that made up majority of Hausaland at the time. Many Hausa kings were killed and individuals who didn't stop their previous religious practices and convert to Islam were also killed.

Alimi, the progenitor of the current ruling family in Ilorin, was an itinerant Fulani preacher in Yoruba land whom Afonja volitionally invited to Ilorin. Afonja wanted Alimi to be his spiritual guardian (or “Alfa”) to ward off what he thought were the machinations of the Alaafin of Oyo with whom he was locked in long-drawn-out supremacy battles. After settling in Ilorin, many of Alimi’s Yoruba students from different parts of Yoruba land decided to follow him to his new home.

In time, Alimi grew so popular that Afonja feared that he would eclipse him, so he asked Alimi to leave, which caused frictions.

[b]Alimi was never any fulani preacher in Yoruba land.
Afonja didn’t invite Alimi to Yoruba land. Lol spiritual guidance ma foot? Afonja himself is spiritual on his own... What a dumb thing to say..

Afonja was a warrior. He fought & won all battles. After so many conquered battles, he decided to retire from fighting. He also didn’t want any of his comrades to grow up not having any life apart from having to fight. Then he put a stop to fighting..

He was growing old..

It was after Afonja had stopped fighting battles that Alimi came to meet Afonja in ilorin. Alimi came to Ilorin as a voyager, not as if he’s been in Yoruba land before..

Alimi then told Afonja that he was an Arabic preacher, that he preaches Goodness all around - that was where he captured Afonja’s attention... (You know he’s been wanting a special life for all his comrades)..

Long story short...After Alimi had stayed as a guest in Afonja’s palace for several days, he then proposed to Afonja that he should let his comrades to come seek Arabic knowledge in his land, where Alimi came from..

Afonja’s didn’t bother to doubt him cuz he wasn’t viewing Alimi as somebody with an evil intention. His late dad appeared to him in the dream to warn him never to release his comrades but Afonja didn’t follow. He had believed he won’t be fighting anymore..

Afonja released his comrades but not all. Meanwhile Alimi also came along with some of his student’s. Alimi also decided to let some of his students to stay back at Ilorin with Afonja. Alimi left with Afonja’s men which they were all killed!

After 3 months, Alimi came with full battalion to fight Afonja - an old man with few men. He killed as much as his power can grab but he was eventually captured and got killed - before he stopped breathing, he told Alimi that the land he’s wanting to grab will never be HIS..

After he died, Alimi got the shocked of his life as people changed calling Ilorin to Ilorin-Afonja. He didn’t know how the name evolved and spread. The single name didn’t let him have full power over the land before he got killed.. Infact, I didn’t think he lived for years before getting killed.. [/b]
