ODVanguard:


Shut the fvck up Jo, you bloody hypocrite. Why then were you screaming Yoruba all over the place like an e-goat?? Is it because some of us refused to vote for GEJ 's reelection?? Is it by force?? Your enugu governor couldn't do Jack (and even called for fasting and prayers) after his kinsmen were massacred by herdsmen under his watch, yet you are here calling Yoruba like a foool. Weren't herdsmen killing your people under GEJ tenure? You igbos are so full of shyt it ain't even funny. Even ijaws have since moved on since GEJ defeat while you punks keep sulking like lil' bitches and blaming Yorubas for all your misfortunes in life -- one minute you people will say Yoruba vote was inconsequential in electing Buhari, the next minute you want to blame us for his election. Leave Yorubas alone and face your own issues, bloody hypocrite.

unbitchable:
I wouldn't blame you rather the Hausas who happens to be the most cowardly & gutless tribe in Nigeria. Remember your forefather, Dan Fodio was killed during a war in Nigeria, this time around none of his descendants will be spared. This nation has had enough of your foolishness, stupid tribe.

Macelliot:

Are you alright. I don't give a damn about GEJ. Grow mehn. You don't have to be a GEJ or GMB fan before you reason differently.

ODVanguard:


See your life?? If (as you are now denying) it's not because of the way Yorubas voted in the last elections nor about Atiku 2019, then what the funk was all that crap/rant you put up there on the first page all about you hypocrite?? Or did a Yoruba man fvck your wife? You are just a typical Yoruba-hating igbo bigot. You ain't fooling no one you shameless thing.

JikanBaura:


So being world renowned Scammers, Cannibals, Baby factory, Kidnappers ,Ipob terrorist is a good reputation.

TundeHashim:


Lol! keep living in the fiction of your imagination man...The world has moved beneath the feet of ur illusory world. be gone!!!

Ehuatamuigunisi:
This is the truth. Fellow Nigerians, let us give Fulani the maximum support to rule us for the sake of peace

Onijagidijagan:

what mistake has Yoruba made..if I may ask? waiting for your reply

okenta2017:


We must accept federal colonies in all the state of the federation and install an Emir to oversee the
colonies. Since state are under federal, the traditional ruler in each of state will be answerable to emir in their state and the emirs in these colonies will be answerable to emir of sokoto. With this arrangement we should
have trully achived one Nigeria of our dream and there will be pis. And killing will stop. We will use all the land in Nigeria for cattle grazing while we use the oil money to import foods
Our NYSC youth should be engage in planting grass in all the colonies. Before the end of
Bihari second term we will have abundant beer and milk.

King44:
How could yoruba nation be so comfortable with unfavorable condition I still can't believe that yorubas in ilorin are comfortable having emir we are so comfortable with any unfavorable situation we find ourselves assuming there would be secession today I wonder where ilorin will fall m if they will be stupid to go with the North cos of their forefathers mistake, am a yoruba n that is what I have observed so far

rabzy:


Everything in Nigeria does not revolve around the years 1967-70. Those were undoubtedly 3 significant years in our history but our whole existence is not tied down there.

IBENUALHASSAN:
In as much as am not a fan to the genocide taking place in Benue state,I need a reasonable comment disputing the claims made by the lecturer.maybe if truth be told resounded to this generation,it may be a step in the right direction with regard to land ownership and co-existence

vorigan:
half baked professor, you lie!!

MAP of Sokoto Caliphate


he Sokoto Caliphate (1806 - 1906) was the largest state in West Africa since the 16th century. It was created by Muslim reformers in the Hausa states who did not believe their rulers were true believers of Islam. It consisted of conquered Hausa states along with neighboring territories.

Sokoto Caliphate existed for over 100 years – a dynasty that bestrode a very large landscape and population in the West African sub-region. The sultan of Sokoto throughout the 19th century exercised an overlordship over the Hausa states extending east from the Niger to Bornu and southward to the Benue and Adamawa. These states and Sokoto itself, known variously as the Sokoto or Fula empire and Hausaland, came (c. 1900-1903) under direct British control, but the native governments are maintained.

Developed in the context of multiple, independent Hausa kingdoms, at its height the Caliphate linked over 30 different emirates and over 10 million people in the most powerful state in its region and one of the most significant empires in Africa in the nineteenth century. The caliphate was a loose confederation of emirates that recognized the suzerainty of the "commander of the faithful", the sultan or caliph.

The province of Sokoto occupied the north-west corner of the British protectorate, and was bounded west and north by French territory. South and east it adjoins other parts of the British protectorate. Bordering north on the Sahara, it contained much arid land, but south-west the land was very fertile. Running through it in a south-westerly direction is the Gublin Kebbi or Sokoto river, which joins the Niger. On a tributary of this river is the town of Sokoto.

The Sokoto or Fula empire was founded at the beginning of the 19th century. The country over which the Fula ruled had, however, a history going back to the middle ages. Between the Niger and the kingdom of Bornu the country was inhabited by various black tribes, of whom the Hausa occupied the plains.

Under the influence of Berber and Arab tribes, who embraced Mahommcdanism, the Hausa advanced in civilization, founded large cities, and developed a considerable trade, not only with the neighboring countries, but, via the Sahara, with the Barbary states. The various kingdoms which grew up round each large town had their own rulers, but in the first half of the 16th century they all appear to have owned the sway of the Songhoi kings in Timbuktu.

On the break up of the Songhoi empire the north-eastern part of Hausaland became more or less subject to Bornu, whose sultans in the 17th century claimed to rule over Katsena and Kano. In this century arose a dynasty of the Habe, a name now believed to be identical with Hausa, who obtained power over a large area of the northern portion of the present British protectorate. The Hausa, whose conversion to Mahommedanism began in the 12th century, were still in the 18th century partly pagans, though their rulers were followers of the Prophet.

These rulers built up an elaborate system of government which left a considerable share in the management of affairs to the body of the people. Dwelling among the Hausa were a number of Fula, mostly herdsmen, and these were devout Mahommedans.

One of their more cultivated teachers, Othman Dan Fodio, had been tutor to the king of Gobir (a district north of EstablishSokoto). He incurred the wrath of that king, who, angered at some act of defiance, ordered the massacre of every Fula in his dominions. The Fula flocked to Fodio's aid, and in the battle of Koto or Rugga Fakko (1804) the king of Gobir was utterly defeated.

Thereupon Fodio unfurled the green banner of Mahomet and preached a jihad or religious war. The chief intention of the Sokoto jihadist headed by Usman Dan Fodio was to restore the fading fame and glory of Islam. In other words, the jihadists were bent in their irrevocable task to purify Islam with the worship of images and idols. They found it against the laws of Islam to worship Allah and idols at the same time. In Hausa land, the leaders valued the worship of idols, they offered sacrifices to idols so as to safeguard their throne and protect their land against calamity.

Textualism and emphasis on a return to Koranic fundamentals were central to the "Jihad" of Shefu Ousmane Dan Fodio, who brought a measure of both political and spiritual stability to northern Nigeria and southern Niger in the aftermath of the Songhai Empire's collapse. The Songhai Empire's successor chieftaincies were politically incoherent, and the brand of Islam practiced in their palaces, while broadly within the Sufi tradition, included many unorthodox practices. Islamic laws limiting polygamy and addressing prayer, inheritance, and governance were ignored. An accretion of organic practices led to an "impure" version of the faith.

From 1804-1812, Dan Fodio and his followers led a successful "jihad" to purify the Muslim faith and establish a political system that would enable "true belief and right practice." The end result was the establishment of the Sokoto Caliphate in Northern Nigeria and the imposition of a more rigorous, though still Sufi, version of the faith.

This Qadiriyya jihad set the tone for Islamic practice for the better part of a century. Ousmane Dan Fodio is still revered by many Nigeriens, who name mosques and streets after him. Interestingly, Maradi in Niger was one of the small kingdoms that held out against the Qadiriyya Sokoto Caliphate in the early 19th century. But what force of arms did not accomplish, trade and cultural exchange among the Hausa populations of the sub-region did. The Qadiriyya Islam that Dan Fodio encouraged played a major role in other parts of Niger throughout the 19th century, before declining to a more marginal status in the 20th.

In February 1804, Dan Fodio declared jihad aimed at cleansing his society of non-Islamic activities. Dan Fodio’s main purpose was the establishment of Islamic law and Islamic ideals as the basis of government in the place of systems ridden by non-Islamic laws, observances and practices. Dan Fodio accused the Hausa rulers of polytheism. He accused the rulers from deviating from the path of God (Allah) and “raised the flag of the kingdom of the world above the flag of Islam and are thus unbelievers”.

Furthermore, the Habe rulers were accused of imposing uncannonical levies on their subjects. They were accused of turning their land into the land of unbelievers and that the rulers themselves were not true Muslims and as such could not make true Islam the State religion. Therefore, Dan Fodio justified the emigration from these unbelievers as a means of avoiding their wrong doings which were not primarily based on Islamic law and values.

The principal aim of Dan Fodio was to restore the practice of Islam to “the classical pattern of the early rightly guided caliph”.9 It was the conviction of Dan Fodio that if the Hausa rulers were true Muslims, they would not have engaged in illegalities with regard to imposing uncannocal levies, denying the “faithful” the right to practice their religion (Islam) and not basing their administration on Islamic law and value. In other words, the concern of Dan Fodio was to cleanse the society of unislamic activities so as to give room for people to practice orthodox Islam.

In a few years the Fula had subdued most of the Hausa states, some, like Kano, yielding easily in order to preserve their trade, others, like Katsena, offering a stubborn resistance. Gobir and Kebbi remained unconquered, as did the pagan hill tribes. The Fula were also defeated in their attack on Bornu. In most places they continued the system of government which had grown up under the Habe, the chiefs or emirs of the various states being, however, tributary to Dan Fodio.

This sheik established himself at Sokoto, and with other titles assumed that of Sarikin Muslimin (king of the Mahommedans). As such he became the recognized spiritual head of all the Mahommedans of west central Sudan, a headship which his successors retained unimpaired, even after the loss of their temporal position to the British in 1903.

The Jihad led by Shaykh Dan Fodio remained the greatest phenomenon to have shaped the socio-political, intellectual and diplomatic structures of the larger segment of the contemporary West Africa. The mainstream scholars on this subject agree that the zeal to spread the teachings of Islam, the cleansing of Muslims of West Africa from idol worshiping, superstitious and heresies and indeed, the transformation of the economic and political systems of the region were the original objectives of Shaykh Dan Fodio and his Jamaa (companions).

The corruption and contradictions which manifested themselves in the heathen practices at both individual and state level, the burdensome taxes, dynastic disputes among the ruling elites, the extortionist policy of the various governments and rampart maladministration at all levels of governments in Western Sudan before 1804 AD, gave opportunity of success to Shaykh Dan Fodio and his Jamaa.

By 1817 a remarkable revolution which swept across Bilad Sudan (Western Sudan/West Africa) from 1804 resulted in the establishment of Sokoto Caliphate with Capital at Sokoto currently in Northern Nigeria. The Caliphate with over 31 emirates established justices, integrity, honesty and multicultural statecraft and mutual co-existence in the realms of political administration, economics, social imperatives and diplomatic affairs.

Othman Dan Fodio divied the Fulami empire into two - the Eastern and Western sections. The Eastern section included Kano, Katsina, Zaria, Bauchi,Gombe and Yola with Sokoto as its capital while Ilorin, Kontagoro and Argungu with Gwandu as its capital were included in the Western section. The Western zone of the Sokoto caliphate was administered from Gwandu.

On the death of Fodio (c. 1819) the empire was divided between a son and a brother - the son, famous under the name of Sultan Bello, ruling at Sokoto, the brother at Gando. All the other Fula emirs were dependent on these two sultanates.

About four decades into its creation, the Caliphate began to decline in contents and substance ostensibly in line with the Ibn Khaldunian cyclical theory of the rise and fall of nations. The Fula power proved, before many years had gone by, in many respects harmful to the country. This was especially the case in those districts where there was a large pagan population.

Slave-raiding was practised on a scale which devastated and almost depopulated vast regions and greatly hampered the commercial activity of the large cities, of which Zaria and Kano were the most important. The purity of the ancient administration was abandoned. The courts of justice became corrupt, administrative power was abused and degenerated into a despotism controlled only by personal considerations, oppressive taxes destroyed industry and gradually desolated the country.

Soon after the Fula had established themselves Europeans began to visit the country. Hugh Clapperton, an Englishman, was at Sokoto in 1823 and again in 1827, dying there on the 13th of April of that year. Heinrich Barth made a prolonged stay in various Hausa cities at dates between 1851 and 1855. To Barth was due a great deal of early Western knowledge of the country. In Barth's time American merchants were established on the Niger, bartering goods in exchange for slaves.

This traffic was carried on through Nupe "to the great damage" wrote Barth, "of the commerce and the most unqualified scandal of the Arabs, who think that the English, if they would, could easily prevent it." The over-seas traffic in slaves did not continue long after the date (1851) to which Barth referred, but slave-raiding by the Fula went on unchecked up to the moment of the British occupation of the country.

Nigeria History - Sokoto 1893At Sokoto the sultanship continued in the hands of Fodio's descendants, and the reigning sultan concluded in 1885 a treaty with the Royal Niger Company (then called the National African Company) which gave to the company certain rights of sovereignty throughout his dominions.

In 1900 the rights of the company were transferred to the Crown. In the course of the years 1900-1902, British authority was established in the states bordering to British on the Niger and the Benue and in Bornu. O-kunland provided the needed base for the British conquest of Northern Nigeria as clearly demonstrated in the subsequent attacks, bombardments, conquests and occupation of other parts of the Caliphate – Bida, Ilorin, Borgu, Idah, Borno, Zaria, Gwandu, Kano, Kotangora, Katsina, Kebbi all fell to British forces, especially between 1900 and 1906, the period which can be described as the early years of British colonialism and subsequent transformation of the Sokoto Caliphate into what later became Northern Nigeria.

The northern states declined to fulfil the conditions of the treaties negotiated with the Niger Company or to submit to the abolition of the slave trade, and in 1902 Sokoto and Kano openly defied the British power.

A campaign was undertaken against them in the opening months of 1903 in which the British troops were entirely successful. Kano was taken in February 1903, and British forces moved towards Sokoto, with small skirmishes between Fulani troops and the colonial army along the way, they finally reached Sokoto on 13 March 1903.

In Sokoto, the new Sultan prepared for war against the British. He had just ascended the throne of his forbearers and he was not a party to the series of agreements and negotiation between the former Sultans and representatives of the British Empire. War was upon him, he had only two options, to surrender or fight for a just cause. He chooses the later and etched his name in history.

Who was Sultan Attahiru? According to those who knew him he was described as: “A proper man; with a valiant heart, who was a tried warrior, and at the same time a man of letters, full of learning in the arts of war…. Never at any time stooping to tyranny or oppression, he did not consort with those who did…. He was truly a religious man, pious and devout in his succour for those of the learned and infirm…To each man he gave his due and followed uprightly the commandments of God.”

The battle for the Caliphate started outside the city on 14 March 1903 and ended the following day. The Sokoto Caliphate was crushed. The Fulani forces were no match for the colonial forces armed with modern weapons.

The Sultan and the Emir of Kano escaped and started the long and arduous march eastward with the British hot on their heels. The Emir of kano, Aliyu, was captured and was exiled to Lokoja, until his death in 1926.

The two forces finally met hundreds of kilometers away in the small town of Burmi on 27 July 1903, and the Fulani army was annihilated. So many heroic deeds of valor of epic proportion were recorded on that day. The Sultan died fighting with more than ninety of his followers surrounding him; his body was removed from their pile. Several emirs and their followers died on that day. The British also suffered causalities.

From that day British authority was substituted for Fula authority throughout the protectorate. The emir of Sokoto took an oath of allegiance to the British Crown and Sokoto became a British province, to which at a later period Gando was added as a subprovince — thus making of Sokoto one of the double provinces of the protectorate.

The double province thus constituted had an area of about 35,000 sq. m., with an estimated population of something over 500,000. It included the ancient kingdoms of Zamfara on the east and Argunga or Kebbi on the west. The dominions of the emir of Sokoto suffered some diminutions by reason of British agreements with France relating to the common frontier of the two European powers in the western Sudan. The emir felt deeply the loss of territory ceded to France in 1904 but accepted the settlement with much loyalty. Like the emir of Kano the new emir of Sokoto worked most loyally with the British administration.

The province was organized on the same principle as the other provinces of Northern Nigeria. A British resident of the first class was placed at Sokoto and assistant residents at other centers. British courts of justice have been established and British governors are quartered in the province. Detachments of civil police were also placed at the principal stations. The country was assessed under the new system for taxes and is being opened as rapidly as possible for trade.

After the establishment of British rule farmers and herdsmen reoccupied districts and the inhabitants of cities flocked back to the land, rebuilding villages which had been deserted for fifty years. Horse breeding and cattle raising formed the chief source of wealth in the province. There was some ostrich farming. Except in the sandy areas there was extensive agriculture, including rice and cotton. Special crops are grown in the valleys by irrigation. Weaving, dyeing and tanning are the principal native industries.

The emir of Gando, treated on the same terms as the emirs of Kano and Sokoto, proved less loyal to his oalh of allegiance and had to be deposed. Another emir was installed in his place and in the whole double province of Sokoto-Gando prosperity has been general.

In 1906 a rising attributed to religious fanaticism occurred near Sokoto in which unfortunately three white officers lost their lives. The emir heartily repudiated the leader of the rising, who claimed to be a Mahdi inspired to drive the white man out of the country. A British force marched against the rebels, who were overthrown with great loss in March 1906. The leader was condemned to death in the emir's court and executed in the market place of Sokoto, and the incident was chiefly interesting for the display of loyalty to the British administration which it evoked on all sides from the native rulers.

Created on 03 February 1976, Sokoto state covers a total area of 25,973 km2 (10,028 sq mi) and has a total population of 3,702,676 as at the 2006 census. With an average population density of 170/km2 (440/sq mi) and a total GDP (2010) of $4,818 Million, at $1,274 Per Capita. Sokoto State is located in the extreme northwest of Nigeria, near to the confluence of the Sokoto River and the Rima River. Sokoto City is the modern day capital of Sokoto State (and its predecessor, the Northwestern State). The name Sokoto (which is the modern/anglicised version of the local name, Sakkwato) is of Arabic origin, representing suk, 'market'. It is also known as Sakkwato, Birnin Shaihu da Bello or "Sokoto, Capital of Shaihu and Bello".

Being the seat of the former Sokoto Caliphate, the city is predominantly Muslim and an important seat of Islamic learning in Nigeria. The Sultan who heads the caliphate is effectively the spiritual leader of Nigerian Muslims.

BoneBlogger:
A medical doctor and neurologist with Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University in Bauchi state, Nura Alkali, has weighed in on the Fulani herdsmen saga as he revealed how strongly he is opposed to nomadic cattle-herding. The doctor also revealed how he stopped to take pictures of herdsmen fleeing with their cattle in December 2017 after their people were attacked in Numan, Adamawa State.

Read what he shared on Facebook earlier today;

The mutual hatred among us is so pervasive that I wonder if we are truly civilized. In fact, some of us are so hateful that they hate themselves to spite others. You know yourselves. Your landless kinsmen are so much hated that even their infants are killed in cold-blood. But rather than help them acquire land in safer areas, you urge them to remain landless, which in your twisted mind, is a revenge on their enemies.

You are their worst enemy, like it or not. By "you", I mean everyone supporting nomadism while avoiding its dangers and enjoying sedentary life in our towns and cities. I'm also referring to past and present leaders who are ostensibly Fulani but did little to help nomads adopt modern methods of animal husbandry that would allow them lease/own land and access healthcare and education available to other Nigerians.

You are motivated by misplaced ego, but you are not alone. So-called "Fulani leaders" also did little to solve the problem, preferring instead to promise "bringing perpetrators to book" after each deadly conflict over farmland versus grazing land. But why am I not surprised? If the children of nomads can be doctors, engineers, lawyers and accountants like us and our children, who can we oppress again? Who will rear our cattle?

I took these pictures during a trip to Yola from Gombe on 1st December 2017, at around 8:30-9:00 am. These nomads were fleeing Numan, Adamawa State, after a hostile tribe massacred 54 of their women and children a few days earlier. I told my passenger that it was a sign for a revenge attack. I was so sure that I parked to take the pictures. That also gave me the chance to throw a jibe in Fulfulde at a group of herdsmen:

"Nomadism in this age is not bravery, but stupidity. Educate yourself and you would rear cows in comfort". He was aghast, but he still found the voice to tell his comrades that I was talking sense. An uneducated youth of 19-20 years. And here you are, a graduate or postgraduate insisting he should forever remain a nomad. Shame on you. Unfriend me if you hate my opinion since I'll always oppose nomadic cattle-herding.

Paperwhite:
Benue State belongs to the Fulani people by right of conquest. This is because half of the state is part of the Bauchi Emirate and the other half is part of the Adamawa Emirate. Benue is therefore part and parcel of the Sokoto Caliphate. So no one has the right to expel the Fulani from Benue under any guise.

Very silly presumption. This is how it often start.No wonder the senseless onslaught against them as they're still hallucinating that Usman Danfodio have bequeathed it to them.
Ndi Benue ngwaanu.God what kind of shithole country did one finds himself like this Divide this useless country.

kettykings:
TY danjuma and Gowon should hide their heads in shame

TheNobleProphet:
These same Fulani people that killed their host (Yunfa of Gobir) - the original Hausa indigenes!

I feel they are cursed! They may end up causing major problem for themselves!

aumeehn:
Oga please dont Mention Adamawa!!! Adamawa is A Fulani Emirate all these minority tribes doesn't count! So mention other states but Adamawa is a Fulani owned state.

AHCB:
Ah! So Nigeria belong to England by right of conquest also? This man just prove he's no better than a he-goat.

ikennaj44:

is Nigeria not or not still British property? and fulani as their caretaker?

Nowenuse:


Yes, majority of Adamawa is under fulani, except for the Numan confederacy which covers 5 LGAs.
Numan, Demsa, Lamurde, Guyuk and Shelleng. These places mostly populated by Bachama people were never conquered by fulanis and have never been under fulani rule, even since during the colonial period where many unconquered northern tribes were fraudulently forced under emirates through the indirect rule system. This is the reason why half or even more of Adamawa state people are christians and are not muslims.

Michika people for instance who are 80% Christians or more used to be under fulani rule of Mubi emirate, but some years ago, they chased away the fulani district head in their LGA and replaced him with an indigenous ruler. Same thing with the Sayawa people of Bauchi state who chased away the fulani ruler in their town and broke out of Bauchi emirate. Till today, no muslim can stay in that town in Bauchi state.

You must understand that the hausa fulanis received education and awarenesss earlier than the other northern minority tribes and were able to connive with the British people who used them to place the northern minorities under their rule. (Even those of them who were never conquered). Many of them have realised this and have broken out of fulani rule e. g Southern Kaduna. Many are still ignorant and powerless.

Edited. I can see that you are a fulani muslim, by your name. Watch out! I can bet you. Northern minorities especially the Christians will soon completely break out of any fulani influence and will be a powerful force! It will happen whether you like it or not!

aumeehn:
hah! So you just sit in your enclave somewhere in Southern Nigeria and comd up with nonesense figures, what's numan confederacy Nothing like that in Adamawa i only know of Numan LGA inwhich 50% are Muslims, if you dont know better know it now, Adamawa is a Fulani state since pre colonial days, i hope you know that Adamawa and Garoua in Cameroon share thesame emirate! All these minority Pagans you are beating chest for are governed by and ruled by the Fulanis! A Minority tribe or let say a Christian will never be a speaker house of assembly talk less of becoming a Governor! Adamwa is a Fulani owned state, i'm proud of my state and also proud of my tribe! The Fulanis are everywhere from Atiku to Sanusi lamido Sanusi to Gov Ganduje of Kano to President Buhari your president. you ccan rant all you want from the South but come here and see for yourself, even the so called numan minorities and the rest knows that the North East is Fulani's except Borno!

Nowenuse:
Foolishness! I am from the north too.

There is a Numan confederacy and no, Numan, Lamurde, Guyuk, Shelleng & Demsa are overwhelmingly christians. Muslims are not up to 10% in these places, hence they produce only christian leaders! There are no fulani district heads or traditional rulers in these 5 LGAs. The Hamma Bachama, a first class traditional ruler is their king over there!

Don't forget that even Batta people very close to Yola in Girei are not under fulani rule. They have their own first class chief!

Is Taraba also a fulani state? Can a fulani man become elected governor or speaker in Taraba? No way! The Jukuns and Mumuyes are in charge!

Even in Gombe, the current governor is not a fulani man, neither was the previous. It's obvious you know nothing small boy.

Boni Haruna was Governor of Adamawa, He is Kamwe from Michika and he is a christian.
