so you are strong enough to quote me despite my thunder warning,.... Furthermore, Hausa is Hausa and Fulani is Fulani, just that the hausas decided to be slaves to the jihadist from futa djalon, since they are very weak to defend their selves,..... The result is the slavery you are to Fulani and this will last till eternity. You can't do anything about it otherwise... A few Fulani are Master's to the many hausas.. House man will have not and will never rule Nigeria. Note that all the emirs in hausa cities are all Fulani... Good day

I'm sure you're actually referring to the average Igbo man who impregnates the women of the baby factories of Southeastern Nigeria.

Sorry, couldn't resist. wink
