The Hausa was the only tribe in all of Africa that was fully colonized by another African tribe



Much of the Hausa population had settled in the cities throughout the region and became urbanized. The Fulani, in contrast, had largely remained a pastoral community, herding cattle, goats and sheep, and populating grasslands between the towns throughout the region. With increasing trade, a good number of Fulani settled in towns, forming a distinct minority.

Usman dan Fodio, an Islamic scholar and an urbanized Fulani, had been actively educating and preaching in the city of Gobir with the approval and support of the Hausa leadership of the city. However, when Yunfa, a former student of dan Fodio, became the sultan of Gobir, he restricted dan Fodio's activities, eventually forcing him into exile in Gudu. A large number of people left Gobir to join dan Fodio, who also began to gather new supporters from other regions. Feeling threatened by his former teacher, Yunfa declared war on dan Fodio on February 21, 1804.

Usman dan Fodio was elected "Commander of the Faithful" (Amir al-Mu'minin) by his followers, marking the beginning of the Sokoto state. Usman dan Fodio then created a number of flag bearers amongst those following him, creating an early political structure of the empire. Declaring a jihad against the Hausa kings, dan Fodio rallied his primarily Fulani "warrior-scholars" against Gobir. Despite early losses at the Battle of Tsuntua and elsewhere, the forces of dan Fodio began taking over some key cities starting in 1805. The Fulani used guerrilla warfare to turn the conflict in their favor, and gathered support from the civilian population, which had come to resent the despotic rule and high taxes of the Hausa kings. Even some non-Muslim Fulani started to support dan Fodio.The war lasted from 1804 until 1808, and resulted in thousands of deaths. The forces of dan Fodio were able to capture the states of Katsina and Daura, the important kingdom of Kano in 1807, and finally conquered Gobir in 1809. In the same year, Muhammed Bello, the son of dan Fodio, founded the city of Sokoto, which became the capital of the Sokoto state.


From 1808 until the mid-1830s, the Sokoto state expanded, gradually annexing the plains to the west and key parts of Yorubaland.

1st define what fully colonized is supposed to mean. I really doubt the fulani were the only people who were sucessful at conquring their neighbors. If they are somehow that's really intriguing. Bantu conquest of khoisan should count.

The OP doesn't know what he is talking about.




The Binis colonized Urhobo, parts of Yorubaland, Parts of Igboland and the Eshan people.

The Igalas colonized Northern Igboland.

The Oyo Empire (Yorubas) colonized Dahomey

You don't have to go offensive bruh. You should just "research" it out. The Binis colonized lots of tribes, including Eko. Eko is a Bini term.

Except you have another meaning for 'colonize.'

No wonder they are all zombies.

What parts of Yorubaland did the Binis colonize, kindly mention these places; if you mistake the influence of a dominant culture on the border towns as colonisation, then something is fundamentally wrong with you. No tribe in Nigeria even won a war against the Yorubas, you can win some battles but your children will pay with their blood, we would psychologically rape your descendants to the extent of having cultural split personalities.

Even Ilorin most of you yap about that Yoruba lost, was an outpost that the Aare ona kankanfo 'war general' lived to check northern invasion, later became a refuge that accommodated slaves and rebels who escaped slavery and the tax regime of Oyo empire. That was why Afonja was easily defeated by the guile of his Fulani mercenaries.

Well my forefathers corrected that erroneous thought of Fulani conquest of Yorubaland in Oshogbo, where will summarily executed them with sadistic pleasure.

And they couldn't colonise Hausa language as well?

But what is Eshan? There's no tribe like that in Nigeria.

The Fulanis colonize people where ever they go until the people get tired of their atrocities and kick them out.

The Nigerian Fulanis are majority in their original home country(Futa Jalon in Guinea)

The minority tribes there already know the Fulanis and what they are capable of doing,
They combined and rule the Fulanis.
Fulani can't rule in their country despite being the majority there.

The Fulanis are second class citizens in their home country Guinea

Bini didn't colonized Urhobo, Urhobo was a direct offshoot of Bini, a child of the Bini kingdom, not only Urhobo but so many tribes in the present day Delta, Edo and Ondo state.

If Bini had imposed their language on territories they conquered, it'd have been one of the major ethnic group in Nigeria.

Kingdoms rise and fall, so was the story of the great Bini empire.

Modern-day Lagos was founded by the Awori in the thirteenth century. It was later called Eko.


So, for ur brain now, awori is Bini abi..


Nonsense

Lol. Fulanis now see Nigeria as their home country. They have left poverty-stricken Guinea for the rest to kill themselves over. They are migrating in large numbers to Nigeria where milk and honey flows

I think Benin has influence in Owo people

Bini is older than Yoruba
Benin Kingdom is older than all Yoruba empire.
