Fulaman, i guess u are a muslim, or aren't u?

Then u have ur own lapses because islam is not the ancestral culture or religion of ur ancestors rather it belongs to the arabs.
So u are still not a pure fulani in a sense, rather an 'Islamized fulani' cos there are still fulani traditionalists who keep on to the ancestral culture of their fathers and i guess u are not one.

stinggy:


So destiny makes my path cross with your sister's, you would deny me the honour?

Trustworthiness:


point of correction. Islam is not the culture of Arab but a devine way of life prescribed by God almighty to mankind. The messenger is just an Arab.

Moreover, I think the contributors on this topic have moved away from the op topic.

The only person that have hit the nail in the head is the individual that state that culture Is the contribution.

Also, the intermarriage between yorubas and other tribe in the southern part of the country is mostly between Yoruba man and the other tribe woman. This is because the women from other tribe of the south love the way yorubas threat their women. For any yoruba girl to marry any man other tribe in the south, the man probably was born in the south western part of the country. And must have drop their culture or wash off from his head most of their cultural practices.

Danrizzle:
*Appropraite reply*. So many 'dumb topics' on nairaland. For 'sanity sake' this is the internet, i wonder why they can't pretend they have sense.

IgboMonk:
Yolobass are fake muslims according the slavemasters the Hausa-Fulani, so its a taboo for a slave to inter- marry with his masters

absoluteSuccess:
Wow, by their fooly, you shall know them.

UnknownT:
Even on this thread in the Islam for Muslim section that Mac updates and locks www.nairaland.com/1935933/muslim-singles-matching-service-msms , about match making that I follow, I have come to realize that only Yoruba Muslims seek for 'match'. Is it that there are no Hausa/Fulani Muslim seeking for wife/husband on Nairaland or do they consider Match-making as haram?

The op is confused, from the title, I though he will try to answer the question but ends up asking question himself, well base on logic and critical thinking, igbo and yoruba live in the south meaning they are closer to each other that the hausas, in the same vein the hausa are closer to the fulanis that's why there is intermarriage between them, even in ilorin is cuz fulanis are closer to yorubas that's why they are marrying each other there, so tha bottom line is because of the geographical and regional settings that sets the hausa and Fulani away from the yorubas makes inter marriage between them a little bit slower in terms of number. For the sake of clarification, hausa and Fulani are two different ethnic groups that can't be be lumped together as one. Did u ever ask this question, why is there very little or no intermarriage between ijaw and yoruba irrespective of their religion? The answer is the same geographical settings and distance cuz love is not a respecter of either religion or ethnicity.

Fulaman198:


Do you have any statistical information to back up your belief?

Igbos & Yorubas who have the largest & 2nd largest christian populations in Nigeria intermarry more often than Hausas do with yorubas and i wonder why.

The only area that may be of exception is the ILORIN AREA of Kwara state.....due to the history of Hausa-Fulanis conquering Ilorin and settling with the yorubas there in large numbers and have been intermarrying down the centuries because of the Fulani Islamic monarchy (emirate rulership) that unites them together.

Wulfruna:
Going by what I have learnt, Hausa Muslims often have difficulty accepting Yoruba Muslims as true Muslims. Perhaps this is because Yoruba Muslims generally tend to be less rigid about their religion than their Northern counterparts.

I remember a conversation that once ensued between a Yoruba Muslim friend of mine and an Hausa man he engaged to repair his shoe.

The Hausa guy simply refused to accept my friend was Muslim, even after my friend recited passages from the Qu'ran in Arabic. Probably, in the Hausa cobbler's mind, you can't be Muslim if you are not a Northerner.

This perception may account for why we see relatively fewer cases of Hausa Muslim- Yoruba Muslim unions.

notoriousbabe:
The reason is very simple yoruba muslims are simple,flexible and love life to the fullest,whereas hausa muslims are timid and very rigid in the practice of their religion. Moreover hausa man's preek fit tear toto

anonymous6:


I have heard this sentiment myself from family members of mine who are Muslim Yoruba's. I think its the perceptions and stereotype's of southerners vs. northerners have against one another and what you mentioned is part of that, that they feel Yoruba Muslims are not true Muslims is one I have heard Yoruba Muslims experienced. If this is the case it shouldn't be a surprised that there a slight higher intermarriage between Yoruba and other southern tribes then Yoruba and Hausa.
