Kingmojo:

I don't know why, but that's what most people think. Once you are from the north and Muslim you are automatically considered Hausa. Like there aren't other tribes up north. Do we have fulanis in Ghana.

Fulaman198:

Correct, and even Upper Volta (Burkina Faso) you will find Hausa. That's a good question that you pose though. I hear that Ghana detests Fulani people.

Kingmojo:

I don't know about that, because Ghana is not really tribal. If there is tribal conflict it tends to be online and it mostly Ashanti's and ewes. I read on ghaanaweb about some northern communities in Ghana having problems with Fulani herdsmen. Apart from that I don't think people will hate fulanis in Ghana because of they are fulanis.

Fulaman198:

Fulani are in every West African country

Kingmojo:

For real, I will do more research on it. I heard in Liberia and Sierra Leone the fulanis over there are originally from guinea and they don't have indigenous Fulani tribe.

I didn't know about Fulanis in Ghana but about 15% of burkina pop is Fulani.

Bizarre Xenophobia from Kumasi,
300 Year Stay In Ghana Does Not Make
You A Ghanaian-Immigration
The Zongo Community in Kumasi are
angry over growing xenophobia and
ethnic discrimination after a leading
member of the community denied a
passport because of his ethnic identity
and origin.
The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS)
was said to have argued that, there is
nothing called Hausa tribe in Ghana and therefore anybody who has his/her
ethnic origin outside Ghana is not a
Ghanaians.
“Being in Ghana for more than 300
years does not make you a Ghanaian”.
This came to light at a well attended
press conference in Kumasi by the
Zongo Community calling on the
government to clarify the position of
members of their tribe in Ghana. The
Chairman of the Zongo Community in
Kumasi, Alhaji S. M. Shariff, told a press conference that they are dreading the ongoing consequences of this year’s voter’s registration exercise, as they fear a problem of citizenship and identity, which they experienced during the population census exercise in 2010, will re-occur again.
The call also follows the recent refusal
by the official of the Ghana Immigraton
Service (GIS) in Kumasi to grant a
Ghana Passport to one Malam Shaibu
Suleimana, because the GIS officials
claim he is a Hausa by tribe and does
not qualify for a Ghanaian passport.
Malam Shaibu, who doubles as the Vice-Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Subin Constituency in Kumasi, said he was refused a Ghanaian Passport though he fully satisfied the requiements needed for one to be granted a passport. Alhaji
Shariff said, Malam Shaibu then
informed the Sarkin Zongo of his
predicament. The Sarkin Zongo,
according to the chairman tasked some
people to verify the allegation made by
Malam Shaibu Suleimana against the
Ashanti region passport office.
“After the committee found the
information to be true, the Zongo chief
reportedly had a discussion with the
Director of Passport in Kumasi, one Mr.
Sylvester and explained to him that the
Hausas in Ghana are real Ghanaians
whose history date back 300 years ago”. “We want the government to come clear on the citizenship of Hausa people in Ghana in order to put an end to the confusion”, he added they would require the government to
publicly come out to explain the position of Hausa people in Ghana.
“We are Hausa of Ghana and not
Nigeria, Cameroun, Niger, Sudan and
Benin and our forefathers were in the
country even before the state Ghana
was born, so there should be no doubt

Kingmojo:

Who ever wrote the article is stupid, once you are born in Ghana, you are Ghanaian. Let alone somebody who ancestry go as far back as 300 years.

Fulaman198:
Correct, and even Upper Volta
(Burkina Faso) you will find Hausa.
That's a good question that you pose
though. I hear that Ghana detests
Fulani people.

Adamskuty: I thought sanusi is hausa,i know he got some fulani blood in him,but he sees himself as hausa

Fulaman198:

He might be one of those Fulanis who only speaks Hausa. But Lamido is only a title given to Fulani nobles that are rulers e.g. the Lamido of Adamawa, Lamido Hayatou Galim

Adamskuty: hmm! Cool,but i thought fulanis who speak the fulani language dont see those who can't speak it as fulani

Royal^^Pearl^^:
Hausa, Ewe, Ga etc are all Ghanaian end of story. Just like the Akans in Ivory Coast are Ivorian( not Ghanaian even though they have their ties from Ghana). For the most part people believe this, only few ignorant tribalistic buffoons will say such a thing. Truth is a lot of West African countries may have their roots elsewhere(forefathers) but we are looking at present day and that is what counts the most.

Fulaman198:

It is more of a traditional thing.

He may be a Fulani ethnically (by blood), but in the eyes of other Fulbe, he is just a Hausa man. I refer to those people as Hausanized.

Kingmojo:


That's why I think Africans needs to gets their acts together and build roads and railroad to eliminate these barriers. The British and the French were very smart and knew that these barriers were going to be a thorn in our fresh when they drew up these boundaries.

When u realize this u realize that it is really pointless fighting about who is better because we didn't we really have a choice in being from whatever nationality that we come from. I am ghanaian by chance, just like onila, Sybella are nigerian and Ivorian by chance. Sybella could have easily been Ghanaianand Onila could have been easily a Cameroonian

Adamskuty: since fulani is the 4th largest ethnic group in nigeria,it will be advisable if the language is taught in schools alonside igbo,hausa and yoruba,i have many fulani friends who speak only hausas but some speak the fulani language (but very little of it) .

Royal^^Pearl^^:
Adamskuty you have really changed

Adamskuty: how? i have always being myself

Royal^^Pearl^^:
Adamskuty you have really changed

Fulaman198:

It is taught in Adamawa state as well as Gombe. It is taught in other northern states as well. Yola is one of the biggest areas to learn Fulfulde (the proper name of Fulani language). I speak the Mbororo dialect which is pure Fulfulde.

Kingmojo:

I don't blame him, e fights are so fun and addictive, sometimes we all get caught up and take it to level that is hateful, prejudice and downright ignorant.

I love getting in e fights with Nigerians but from now on I will keep my argument pg13

Royal^^Pearl^^:
Lol have not seen this "nice side" before lol well at least wrt Ghanaians. It's nice

Adamskuty: good! I know very little about all these,lol

Royal^^Pearl^^:
Maybe during soccer it's nice for you boys but honestly am sick of the whole thing. Prefer it when we can rather learn from one another such as like now, instead of spending all day and night fighting about rubbish lol. I remember the was a thread about Ghanaian guys(100 pages of fighting). I do not think you were on Nairaland yet but it was kinda funny though

Adamskuty: just because one always engage in e-wars doesn't mean he/she isn't nice in real life,i'm actually the quiet type,i hardly talk

Kingmojo:

I was there front and center. I was one of the main culprit, me and Cameroonpride.

Royal^^Pearl^^:
Yeah i think we all went hard even me. Where is Cameroonpride? I miss him

Royal^^Pearl^^:
Lol that's true. Seriously!!! Well it's always the quiet types that are most crazy i've heard
