The story is told of how King Yunfa, the Hausa Sarkin in Gobir (now called Sokoto) hosted a Fulani immigrant called Usman Dan Fodiyo and his group in February 1804, as a result of this and since 1808 the whole of the northern region lost its kingdoms and were replaced by Fulani emirates.
King Yunfa is said to have been killed in 1808 and the Fulani warrior (Usman Dan Fodiyo) established Sokoto caliphate, making himself Sultan.
Gradually, other Hausa kingdoms were pillaged and taken over by the Fulani emirs. The ethnic groups in the core north were the first victims of Fulani imperialism, a venture that occurred because the people were given access to grazing land as a result of the hospitality of the hosts.
They however failed to overrun the Bornu kingdom, so the Shehu of Bornu remains paramount till today!
The Afonja dynasty compromised by allowing a Fulani warrior known as Janta Alimi to settle in Ilorin, the Fulani guerrillas killed Afonja in 1824
And Ilorin, a Yoruba town under the Oyo empire, fell into Fulani hands, becoming an emirate under Sokoto caliphate till today! Even the attempts of the O'odua People's Congress (OPC) to revert to status quo ante and crown an Onilorin of Ilorin became an exercise in futility.
The Yoruba warriors got wise and defeated the Fulani jihadists in Osogbo in 1840, if this didn't happen there would most likely have been Fulani "emirs" as rulers in Oyo Alaafin, Ibadan, Owo, Osogbo, Ede, Ado, and Igede Ekiti today!
If the Bini Kingdom did not fight and repel the jihadists, they would have penetrated the Edo/Delta region beyond the present day Edo North Senatorial District which gave in and allowed the jihadists to overrun & islamize them.
Along with some ignorant folk most of them are now angling for grazing areas and a corridor through the entire federation. These grazing areas will in future become Fulani settlements, later commmunities and finally local government areas with ele

I support grazing bill but it should be situated at Sambisa forest

Story 4 our forefathers

@ ericuzor, God bless your bright mind and may he continue to equip you more with better visions and intellect. Its a pity many so-called youths of today don't even know diddly-squat about the history of their country let alone their family history. Well done, I knew this all along and I know any attempt to smuggle this demonic bill into our constitution will bring Nigeria to her end.

History says it all, these people were immigrants who fought and took over hausa territories but 2day they re claiming ownership of the entire country. They have started by oppening up settlements inbetween communities in the south from where there will make good their plan.

It is a good thing we know our history so we won't be caught unawares. So this is their plan eeeh?? To annex our lands through dubious means, claiming rights to grazing bill when the north has more land than the south. Fulanis in the house, identify yourselves. I need your blood to drink. They just met their waterloo.. They are going down!!!

Since they could not sink their quran (religion ) into the Atlantic they want to try to sink their cows (business ) to the Atlantic through another dumb Ahmadu Bello who thinks that the igbos of today generation are dumber than the generation that finished Ahmadu Bello in his wild dreams
