Hero: One minute he is spending his life time studying the great Tiv people another minute he is saying something different, you have a lot in common with fish , , a three second memory !. I've had too much of your company a guy with your IQ should not post at all I guess when God was throwing intelligence down to the earth, you were holding an umbrella. Why don't you go to the library and brush up on your ignorance? Ijiji1: I would have liked to insult you, but with your intelligence you wouldn't get offended. If you act like an ass, don't get insulted if people ride you. |

Did you Tiv folks know that your people were the original holders and rulers of the northern lands of Nigeria in which are most commonly refered to as the lands of the Hausa today? It was about 1200 years ago that the Hausa came pouring into the the rich fertile lands from the Northern Sahel in what is today Chad, Niger and Darfur Sudan, with their Herds of cattle and goats in that their traditional herding lands had become over crowded and exhausted. Upon arriving in your lands, the migrants, were at first very friendly and the Tiv allowed them to settle in the lands and feed their animals, then after about 80 years in the lands the Hausa numbers had skyrocketed to become more than that of the Tiv in the land, and it was then that a infamous Hausa ruler out of Niger who was of Islamic faith invaded the lands with his massive army, in a Jihad aimed to convert the Hausa people living in the lands into Muslims. He succeeded and in time via via various military conflicts with the Tiv, he managed to take nearly the entire North eastern corner of what is today Nigeria away from the tiv. But he wasn't happy with just that, soon after he pushed on and took most of the rest of the North, forcing the Tiv people to convert and or move out of the lands. Many converted and many simply moved out of the conquered lands further south along the Niger River banks and mountainous terrain of the Plateau. Over the years various other Hausa and Hausa-Fulani rulers invaded these remaining Tiv lands in an effort to convert them and turn their lands into the extending Hausa-Fulani lands, though the Tiv over time fought courageously to keep that from happening. Not only did they deafened against the Hausa from the North but in time they were also forced to defend against the rapidly expanding Edo Empire of Benin in which sought to acquire lands on the northern banks of the Niger. They succeeded for about a span of 8 years before the Tiv accepted the assistence of the Hausa and together they managed to push the Edo back across the Niger River. In accepting the help of the Hausa, the Tiv community were opened up to greater levels of persuasion from the Hausa to convert to Islam and many more did in little time after the victory. |
