It's unfortunate I missed that I missed this thread at the time this was dated I was very busy with work, otherwise I would have definitely hidden every post by Ajuran/Ayanle/Somalia9. He's a complete troll.

All ethnic groups (don't know why people call them tribes) have contributed to the well-being of Africa. The problem with Africans and the reason we never reach our potential is due to the fact that we are always bickering amongst ourselves. Ethnic bigotry must go! Period

Thank you o, that is what I am looking forward to seeing, a similar list of any other ethnic group and I will withdraw my assertion.
Kongo people are ways more influential than fulanis!Fulanis have never built a single state in their entire history.Their greatest achievement was to use a foreign religion to conquer already prosperous states(hausas,etc.......).There is not a single state in Africa named after fulanis!Kongo people built an empire than spanned 5 countries(drcongo,rep of congo,angola,gabon and cameroun) and kongo people have produced 6 president in 4 different countries:

Agostinho neto:The first president of angola

What an amazing thread.

Kudos .
Re: The Fulanis, Africa's Most Influential Tribe by MetaPhysical: 4:27am On Jun 06, 2016
I did not bother to go through pages of responses to see and appreciate contributions from different quarters, for me the title alone says it all.

What NONSENSE glorifying an ignoble race of people. Beside acting as proxies for Arabs to decimate and desecrate the glorious black cultures and their native roots, in what ways can we credit Fulani as contributors to the doctrines of African philosophies?

, you need enlightenement on African history.

Awwwww

She said 'I have chose you with my heart', so freaking cute!
I think the music in the video made the men look scary though. I'm guessing they were "widening " their eyes and flaunting their teeth because those are their standards of beauty and of course them standing on their toes.

The innocence both male and female had were so cute! Especially the way the girl was talking about their crush.

I think they all look better without make up though grin

The F? This thread is oooooooold! lipsrsealed grin

Educative thread but still not sure bout the Influencial part.
Re: The Fulanis, Africa's Most Influential Tribe by chijiblaze(m): 11:39am On Mar 23, 2019
Please let me know,
How does one tell a Fulani from a Hausa person? Is it through skin tone? Course you could have a dark skinned Fulani and maybe a fair skinned Hausa. Though rare, but it could happen. Could it be by language? Most Fulani people have abandoned their Fulfude language and massively adopted the speaking of Hausa. Is it from the region that they are located? Fulanis spread from the northwest to the northeast of Nigeria. Ie everywhere. The spread even extends outside of the country's borders to Ghana, Mali, Guinea and also Cameroon, Central African Republic, and Chad. In so doing they are so mixed up with the Hausas and live in the same places. Is it by the names they bear? Both Hausa and Fulani people bear mostly Arabic names. Or the names of the town or regions close to them (Tafawa Balewa katsina & kano) and sometimes Fulani people bear Hausa names like Yaro Adua. Is it through body structure? Everybody from the same ethnic group cannot possibly have the same body shape.
So how does someone, from the Southern part of Nigeria tell them apart?
I only recently discovered that Former Nigerian President Al hajj Shehu Shagari was not Hausa but Fulani! Shocking to me. Same with all the other former heads of state from the North we had erstwhile imagined to be Hausa with the exception of Murtala Mohammed and maybe Yakubu Gowon! That's if he isn't. Say same for all the northern state governors and Emirs even the richest man in the country nay continent.
And even much more difficult to understand is why the majority Hausa ethnic group seems to be very comfortable with and staunchly supportive of being ruled and controlled at almost all levels by the minority Fulani ethnic group. Isn't it akin to the tail wagging the dog?
