Can you explain ?

I can only try and mostly speculation for the part without history

The 7 Hausa States prior to the Conquests of Uthman Dan Fodio AKA Banza Bakwai (7 bastards) where pagans whom the Invading Fulani Horde converted to Islam. In spite of this.. the Fulani's maintained a strict anti-co-mingling tradition with the Hausas. Politically they also ruled over the Northern Region up-till this present day.

Their girls are not only "fair-skinned and beautiful", their lineage is also perceived as royal coming with associated benefits of economic and political connections. There is also a complex of sorts in the Hausa Community that they are not as better-placed as the Fulani's

It therefore points to the assumption that marrying into a Fulani family is one that comes with pre-thought of the above considerations

That is as far as i can assume

You are welcome. Please check your email. Thanks

sharp guy

Cos im not broke and my people dont kill in bulk and dozens

Every group of people is guilty at one point or another. Who said anything about Fulani people being broke? Fulani people don't flaunt their wealth, it's against our culture.

Incorrect information

The Hausa have been Muslims since the 1100s. At least know what you are talking about before posting.

Paretomaster:
Total junk journalism, How on earth will Seun allow his MODs push all sort-of articles to the front page without verification?

There is nowhere in Fulani land where they flog you to marry their daughter, sharo is a cultural practice like traditional wrestling, boxing etc.

Suitors might engage in sharo to prove a point, entertain or even settle scores, but it was never a prerequisite for you to marry a fulani lady.

Am so pissed, people need to read, and learn before spewing trash all over the place.. ..

That's how one mumu of a graduate claimed goats, rams cows, and other animals from the North are usually caught from the bush as they roam about freely ... Really!!!!

Seun, the MOD that pushed this to front page have to be punished for violating one of the rule....... "false information "

Exactly

My Bini wife rocks my world! If I were to do it all over again, I would choose my Bini wife.

I wish i could see things from your view but too many people are being killed, no culture or religion is worth a life

They are all herds people.

Power of Nairaland: I'm a white foreigner from Finland, never been to Nigeria and knew next to nothing about Nigeria before I discovered Nairaland and I'm laughing at this remark after spending a few days of surfing here.

If you marry an urban Fulani lady, your offspring won't be herdsmen. Find one from Lagos!

What do you mean, btw your picture is of a Touareg girl? Are you Kel Tamasheq, do you live currently in Zazzau (Zaria)? Did you attend ABU?

Mai Gida.. I am surely not Touareg neither Hausa nor Fulani.. yes I "lived" in Zaria born in Wusasa Hospital, schooled in Ouagadougou. that is as far as my history on NL goes

The Scandinavians of the old love to plunder, that was their only motive. So I don't think the Fulani fitted that comparison.

Why speculate in this era of information ?

I'm talking about the modern culture, not 1000 years ago.
Scandinavians don't show off wealth. They generally live below their means, or at lest don't spend money on stupid luxuries and baubles. They spend the money on things they love. An outdoor lover will spend 2000 Euros on mountain climbing gear, but use the same phone until it dies of old age.

Baaballiyo:

Because information has not become Intelligent Insight before i can be sure of what I am saying, I need to look at the data (structured or unstructured) and organized that into information from which i can analyze into intelligible insight. so far all I have is some history documented and oral largely unverifiable and mostly romanticized . but if you have got data, i am willing to have a look

I misunderstood your statement. No wonder they're (Modern Scandinavians) today rated as the Happiest people on Earth.

There are very few Fulani here! You are the second I've seen so far.

yes many people leave because the forum has much ignorance

on a matter of facti learn harshly and perhaps out of my ignorance the number of not fulani womens that have fulani hair styles, at first it was a big shock because these things are significant i brought it up on a different forum, these hair styles are id or passport which identify a woman origin and purity just to see them being used for fashion i won't say i am in favour, let me say when it comes to a certain fulani women, do not touch her hair as a saying goes

revontuli:

There are quite a number of Fulani here, but most are shy and choosy about what to comment on or respond to, besides the few that talk use to represent us well. And going by how abusive and bigoted some people in this forum tend to be towards Fulani in general we prefer to abide by the saying When impious men bear sway the post of honour becomes a private station.

There's a ton of info on Hausa culture but not enough on Fulani.
