Why dont you stop disgracing yourself and make a little research. Arabic is the most spoken language in Africa followed by Swahili. Ever heard of Northern Africa? You are worse than an illiterate.

UN official languages:

English

Russian

Spanish

French

Arabic

Even if you are too dumb at least why dont you use google?

Why would a human being choose to remain ignorant?

Some people are just irredeemably stupid. Imagine someone using a phone with data but cant even use Google to make confirmations. Even a Js1 student can list UN permanent members and UN official languages. So much from the so called literate south easterners.

centboy123456:



lol bro u finish this people I swear lol

Keep consoling yourself and try to get some education.

I hope you even know what the United Nations is.

If only this Lugard guy had allowed the different entities to grow independently yeye man..

Imagine somebody that vlaimsbto be civilized thinking that it is only when you can speak English that people will see you as a literate. Must it be UK or US? China, Russia, Spain, Italy, UAE, Korea and Japan all speak their native languages yet they are developed and technologically advanced.

Dear friend, actually, @fk001 is right and you are not quite correct. Careful review of history always helps to mitigate the risk of emotional reviews.

When the British descended on Africa, they already had experience from colonial domination in the Arab world, Eurasia, Polynesia and the Americas. They had formed a system of categorizing the natives they encounter in their continued colonial conquest.

Below are the simple items on the civilization scale which guide British opinion of their newly conquered peoples:

a) religion - a monotheist society is superior to a polytheist one.

b) government - a more centralized govt with multiple provinces is superior to a decentralized tribal system.

c) literacy - a society that has developed writing and schooling system is superior to one with no written language or educational methods.

d) international relations - a society with evidence of contact with the outside world is superior to one with only local existence.

e) military - a society which can project war on its neighbours is superior to one with limited or no capacity for projection.

In all 5 counts, the Hausa emirates with Fulani overlords ticked all boxes while no ethnic society in the south came anywhere near close. The Caliphate has Islam as official religion, run a central government based in Sokoto, has the Ajami writing script along with Arabic, conducted Hajj's to Mecca and Medina annually and have relations with Morocco, Egypt, Arabia and the Othoman world and was running its own petty colonial conquest already in the Niger basin before the British defeated them.

From the above, it is clear that the British deferred to the Hausa's not because they were considered stupid. On the contrary, the British regarded the Northerners as more civilized than the rest of us.

To add, the North was conquered eventually when Sokoto and Gobir fell in war around 1910 which is anywhere between 15 to 50 years after most of the South had been subjugated and fully pacified. We cannot say therefore, that the northerners submitted to the Brits.

If Nigeria will move forward, we must all shed the petty emotional fables we were told by our ignorant grandfolks and find a way to bond together as a people to move us forward.

Nigeria is all we got and may we not end up like Syria someday!

Go read ETV facts and check out other studies. Research results vary but most results show that Arabic is the most popular language. Even if it isnt, the fact that it is one of the largest (even in your source says it all) makes it an important language. Are you just obsessed with stupidity? You asked me to mention any African country that speaks arabic and i mentioned the entire Northan Africa to shut your mouth yet you are still blubbering.

So you still want to argue about the UN issue right? Well, it is not my responsibility to emancipate you from ignorance. Continue fooling yourself with the belief that English is the only perfect language in the world. It says how uneducated you are just like your stupid fellow ipob bastards who believe it is possible to clone a human within a year or for the president of one country to nuke a country just because of one albino riff raff

This is the idiot that caused all the problems we are going through in this country. The thing that amazes me is why Nigerians are ready to die and protect a country and Name created by a white man. I mean, how can you say you are equal to a white person when they are your creators.

so the english people were attracted to your arabic speaking and writing ability. the womb that carried you suffered chronic coccidiosis prior to your birth


In every gathering there are positive and negative influence, just that the western illiteracy level is so obvious in the northern part of the country that doesn't mean that there are no illiterates in the south.



BTW what do you mean by illiterate?


Illiteracy is not all about how to speak or write in English, as far as you can read and write whether in Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic or French you are not an illiterate.


I guess it is still a mystery to you on how the British back then prefer to relate with northerners than Easterners.


When the British came to Nigeria, the North already knew how to read and write in Arabic while their Eastern counterpart were working naked.

the obvious definition of illiteracy is when a whole northern state can only have 36 candidates for common entrance exams,while Lagos has 24,000 candidates,

As true as your post attempts to be, it has a number of errors.

1. The north fell long before the south. As a matter of fact, the Yorubas were the last to fall. The unending Yoruba civil war made it even easier. Also the Ijebus resisted the Brits who fought them mainly with Hausa and other Yoruba soldiers until they no longer could.

2. Oyo empire and Bini kingdom meet all the criteria you suggested above save for the Ajami/Arabic reading and writing method. This itself is a product of cultural conquest by the Arabs. It wasn't of their making, the caliphate.

3. The caliphate couldn't conquer all of the north - Southern Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Kogi etc Ilorin is a peculiar case.
Whatever conquest they have over other northern tribes today was awarded them by the Brits who actually enforced the idea of one monolithic Hausa north. All northern tribes were forced to learn and speak Hausa.

4. How come the northerners of fellow West African countries didn't meet same criteria for special recognition cum relationship?
Ghana also has significant Hausa Fulani population yet the Brits didn't give them the special treatment meted out to their Nigerian counterparts.

RealSleek:


aboki ode, you goofed by talking about part of southwest in such manner, which part of south west were stark naked...You are a fool..You can't tell me my history fool..
we all know how different Hausa states couldn't unite , busy slaughtering themselves like chicken until fulani minority came and hold them by the jugular till this day.
why don't you educate us more about Hausa nation is perpetually under rulership of fulani people...
pls don't give me the religious emirate bullcrap, you Hausa people and ilorin people love to believe.

part of southwest unclad...lol..

Can you see that the barbarism has not left you? Your resort to names calling in a simple debate on history says it all! Your own part of the SW I actually referred to and your insults to me confirms it. I am cultured and well brought up to insult so find someone on the same level of civilization with you to engage with!

You seem genuinely interested in this topic therefore I shall engage you further to comment on the points you raised. Caveat is, you gotta totally offload your emotions and research history from a purely detached viewpoint.

1) The Caliphate fell long after the southern Kingdoms. Don't take my word for it, just do a cursory google search on "British colonization of Nigeria". Also, common sense application of geography to military strategy will show that the British, who invaded from the Atlantic coast, will not flank unconquered enemy forces in the south to go on a conquest up north.

2) At the end of the Yoruba civil war in 1888 to the eve of the fall of Benin in 1896, none of these civilizations had writing and none was projecting war outside its territory. They were also both polytheist society with governments nowhere near as complex as the bureaucracy of the Caliphate.

3) For all effect and purpose, the Fulani jihad did force Hausa hegemony over much of the tribes of the Kaduna, Niger and Benue basin. Yes, the Caliphate did not outrightly subjugate these peoples, however, they had enough dominion amongst them to be able to spread their influence over them.

Sleep calls...later.
