Remove the Yoruba, Edo, Delta and Bayelsa to Benin Republic to make Hausa majority with 70% of oil and save 50,000,000 lives lost in bloodshed. See map.

In the late 1300's, Islam began to filter into Hausaland, but only very slowly and only by means of commercial activities. . .The Fulani were also fervent Muslims, so they not only brough Islam and its books, they also began to set up Islamic schools and learning centers all throughout Hausaland.

the Hausa kingdoms were stable and peaceful.

canuck:

. . . Until Islam and Fulanis parachuted in? Is that what you mean? Just asking.

Ibime:

Like all people of the Sahel in West Africa, Hausas are docile and content with life. . . . even Fulanis in other countries in West Africa are docile and peaceful. . . its the particular brand of Fulani we have in Nigeria (Uthman Dan Fodio dynasty) who mess everything up.

RichyBlacK:

The Nigerian government's approval of the massacre of Igbos, especially by Hausa/Fulani mobs between 1966 and 1967, consolidated in their belief system that it is their duty to murder members of any group, ethnic or religious, that provokes them in any way, even if the provocation was thousands of miles away in Europe.

Their threshold for provocation has been dragged lower over the years while their appetite to destroy has grown larger.

Today, the hapless Nigerian government is coming to terms with the monster it bred over four decades ago; a monster that was fed fat with the blood of so many innocent Nigerians.

Today, that monster is still hungry, hungry for flesh and blood, and any will do!

Hausa History:
You probably can't find a good book in Nigeria, because of political reasons. The truth- --the Hausas were doing fine before the arrival of the murderous fulani -Uthman dan Fodio.
Fodio first overthrew the sarkin Gobir, who had helped him settle down in the area: his reason? The Gobir king was not practicing a "pure" form of islam. Don't think boko haram started today!
After the Gobir kingdom fell, Fodio found how easy it was to overthrow the Hausa kingdoms, then he began a systematic elimination of Hausa kings with subsequent replacement with his own family members.
Even the silly and greedy Afonja fell victim to Fulani machinations after he betrayed the Oyo king in Illorin. If you follow the clock till the arrival of the British, to the time the Fulanis were trying to take Nupe, to the era of Sarduana, to the massacre of easterners in 1960s, to Jos incident two days ago, you'll understand that nothing has changed.
Nothing

i dont know, all i know is that there're more southerners in the north than northerners in the south, look at banks in the north, primary schools, secondry schools, universities, hospitals etc are having alot of southern professionals not to talk of the informal sector, the only northerner you have in the south those are cattle sellers and vegetable sellers, so its left to the southerners if they want peace.

EzeUche:

And this is why for some foolish reason, I admire the Fulani. These people went from nomads to an aristocracy. Amazing!!!

Too bad it is in Nigeria, my beloved land. I would have loved to see this play out in Ghana.

naijaking1:

Not too surprising, considering the fact that the Fulanis were exposed to arabic education through the touaregs and berbers of north Africa. Many of them learnt how to read and write, study classical logics, medicine, and even law well before Mungo park was born. So, unlike many of their contemporaries, they could weave a good arguement, perform basic physical or chemistry experiment, and even "miraculously" heal a basic illness.

And there goes the legacy of a world renowned art kingdom.Jos was the center of world nok culture and the first to practice it in arts.What do we have now? some Islamists with no education!!!

zebra:

NOK is in kaduna state and not plateau.

jimmysho:

is like saying the Ijaws are only existing in Bayelsa state alone or there are not Ijebu elsewhere except ogun state whereas the people of Epe in lagos are also Ijebus
