myobjective: Do you blame them? Atiku Abubakar is not Hausa or Fulani, but he will not say what he is. Babangida is not Hausa or Fulani, but he will not say what he is. Abdusalam Abubakar is not Hausa or Fulani, but he will not say what he is. Abacha was not Hausa or Fulani, but he never said what he is. Gowon is not Hausa or Fulani, but he said what he is. This country has no reward for being a minority. If you want to get to a certain place, you have to use the right medium. Nigerians made it so. As a Northerner, the first thing that qualifies you to be a president is your religion, followed by ethnicity, then wealth, then influence then at the least, your capacity to lead. |

Wickedfacts: They are also in Kano. Some of them left during the incessant riots in Kano, where non-indigines were attacked (including non-hausa Muslims), while some sold their properties to other tribes predominantly Igbos and left to other areas(tho this is not done mainly by ogbomosho people but the Yorubas)... check sabon gari/Badawa areas in Kano and some areas in southern kaduna. ***This reply can be corrected/changed. Although this was the info I got/heard during my time there. |

myobjective:Please no one from Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, Plateau, Benue etc recognize as Hausa or Fulani. Borno and Yobe people are predominantly Kanuri and are proud of that. They have Christian minorities in Borno like the popular Chibok town having tribes like Margi, Babura etc. None identify as Hausa. Plateau or Jos people don't even identify as Hausa any day or anytime. Taraba has majority Jukun people who are not Hausa. Same as Adamawa that has a lot of non-hausa. Hausa is like a lingual franca in the north because it is generally spoken but ethnically not all are hausa. The real hausa are mostly in the north west, Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna(Zaria part), zamfara, katsina etc...for the Fulanis because of there nature you can see them almost everywhere in the north but are found in large numbers in Adamawa, Gombe,Bauchi...Hausa/fulani is just a term to recognize the long union between the Hausa's and Fulani...over time they intermarried, although we still have pure Fulanis and you can easily notice them by their physique and we have pure Hausas too...Southerners seem to have a wrong knowledge if this hausa, they think if someone up north speaks hausa then he is one which is very very wrong...all these tribes have their language which is not related to hausa at all 2 Likes |

myobjective:Capital Wrong...There are many Non- Hausa Muslims in the North. I think you haven't been up north. Like the Kanuris of Borno are predominantly muslims and don't identify as hausa. Different heritage, tribe, language, culture etc...haven't you heard of the Kanem-Borno empire...there are other non-hausa Muslims up north, infact so many... 1 Like |

adanny01: I think Abdulsalam Abubakar is actually a Hausa by ethnicity, his parent just settled in Niger state. One other thing you have to understand, it was the military that gave those northern minority the clout and power without the military most northern minority will not attain all those feet no matter how well they claim to be Hausa. Look at most democratically elected Northern leaders have always been from the core northwestern states. People like Atiku were hated because they are from the States with huge minorities |
Re: True Ethnic Origins Of Nigeria’s Past Presidents And Heads Of State by WelcomeToBiafra: 2:02pm On Feb 15, 2020 |
adanny01: Keep lying to yourself with well documented lies from the pit of Nigeria terrorist defend quarters. Any time Nigeria massacred innocent people of the land, Nigeria terrorist state will invent lies against unarmed innocent people to make them look bad, after taking all their belongs and resources. Just as today, Nigeria is stealing BIAFRANS oil and other resources, anytime the Indigenous People Of BIAFRA cry against the zoo called Nigeria, terrorist security chiefs will give order to from their terrorist defend quarters to destroy, steal and kill unarmed innocent people of BIAFRA.

FuckAllTheMODs: Not only Ogbomoso but Yoruba generally. People always undermine the population of ethnic groups such as Yoruba, egbira and Auchi in the north because majority of them are Muslim who easily assimilate into the culture of their host communities. 2 Likes |

WelcomeToBiafra: The only thing worth replying to is the bolded. South South has its own identity now. One by one, SS is joining forces with the North. The North appreciates them and am 100% sure that the next time a president is to be considered from the SE, it will go to the SS. They are no longer Biafra because they are wiser. SE is Biafra and Biafra ends with the SE. Why would Biafra boast of what it isn't theirs in the first place. 3 Likes |

sarrki: I really do not know why idiocy has taken root in certain sections of Nigeria. Even free education, most of the masses are starkly uneducated. For the sake of the shithole called Nigeria, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa WAS NOT HEAD OF STATE of Nigeria. He was the head of government. The head of state and command in chief of the armed forces when Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was the prime minister of Nigeria was Hon. Dr. Nnmadi Azikiwe. 1 Like 1 Share |

I have also heard about that Auchi angle of Murtala Mohammed, from a 'trusted' source from Auchi. So I would like to go with it. In all, the article was insightful especially for pointing out that Yaradua is Tuareg rather than Fulani as popularly believed. |

myobjective: We are actually not talking about population but ethnicity of those the first person I quoted mentioned. Back to your quote... About population, that is their decisions, some decided to keep their real ethnic on the low because of their safety or other reasons best known to them. P.S- I don't think they are undermined, when you see any of those ethnic you mentioned and their host, you will be able to tell their differences if you have been their for a while(long time). |

Many West African leaders are of the Fulani descent including the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari; the President of Senegal, Macky Sall; the President of Gambia, Adama Barrow; the Vice President of Sierra Leone, Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh; and the Prime Minister of Mali, Boubou Cisse. They also lead major international institutions, such as the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Amina J. Mohammed; President-Elect of the United Nations General Assembly, Tijjani Muhammad-Bande; and the Secretary-General of OPEC, Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo. |
