Oyatz blue3k helinues There is a difference between conquering some parts of a tribe in war and conquering and colonizing a whole tribe There are conquests all over Africa but non was like the Sokoto caliphate..it encompassed the whole of Hausa land and didn't even have one Hausa leader in any meaningful position Even the Aro people conquered parts of Ibibio and even the fulanis conquered parts of yoruba land...but non was as complete as what happened to Hausa The ogonis reverence Jaja of opobo who was a proud Igbo man who founded their town....parts of ijaw speak igbo today (bonny island) because of influence...that's not colonization 6 Likes 1 Share |

The binis have even been conquered by ojukwu and his biafran soldiers during the biafra/nigeria civil war when they invaded and captured benin the capital of former Midwest region. Till date in history it's only the igbos and the british that have successfully conquered the binis and their oba. 10 Likes 1 Share |

There are so many Fulani people that don't speak Fulfulde anymore or speak it with difficulty. The Fulani people in Nigeria mostly speak Hausa. The Fulanis in Ilorin can't even speak Hausa or Fulfulde. They now speak Yoruba language. Only itinerant Fulanis who live in isolated temporary camps in the Savannah of the North speak Fulfulde as their first language. The Fulanis are an ISLAMIC people who don't place much emphasis on Languages or tribal culture but strongly uphold the Islamic identity. atheistandproud: |

abumeinben:Let d binis come and recolonize again. The mistake d yoruba people made was to think bini and Yorubas are d same thing...Oranmiyan and Eweka were Oduduwa's son. The first official language of Bini palace was d Yoruba. If benin truly colonized d yorubas, they will unsit the Ooni of Ife or Alaafin of Oyo..if it doesn't happened then Yoruba colonized the Edo by banishing the Ogiso and imposing an Oba (a yoruba title) on them onto this day. 7 Likes |

0m0nnakoda: Nnachi is one of the founding fathers of the city of Arochukwu, one of the largest cities in Abia State in southeastern Nigeria. During the conclusion of the 17th century, he was a Dibia (priest-doctor) from the Edda people near Afikpo. The Eze Agwu clan led by his relative King Agwu Inobia in the Aro region called on Nnachi for help during the Aro-Ibibio Wars. Unable to break the stalemate in the favor of Eze Agwu, Nnachi called some allies from the east of the Cross River known as the Akpa people. Akuma and Osim Nnubi led the Akpa people into the Aro region and collaborated with Igbo forces (and Ibibio rebels) to defeat the Obong Okon Ita kingdom. Aro people used the ibibios of cross River to defeat the ibibios of the present day Aro chukwu and claim it as there own...so who colonized who? Lol 7 Likes |

Too bad when adults doesn’t know the difference, between waging war and colonizing a tribe Shame on our govt for canceling the teaching of history in our secondary school. Which fulani king did Hausa people pay tributes to, did they fight for their freedom, which natural resources was exported from the Hausa land, did they change their system of education? The food they eat, their language, or which Hausa states was ever called a colony of the Fulani, or which Hausa city name was changed to Fulani name? If Hausa was colonized by the fulani, then the English colonised the scotts, Germans colonised Austrians, French colonised belgium 3 Likes |

oyatz: I don't know if you're helping to uphold my argument or you're arguing against it. 1. We're speaking about the Fulani-Hausa relationship. Not the Fulani Yoruba. 2. Obviously from my statement, a discerning mind would quickly code that I'm referring to the North. 3. The huge majority Fulanis in Kaduna, Zaria, Funtua, Gusau and a large part of Sokoto speak Fula first and Hausa second. There are also Tuaregs and Berbers here in Sokoto who speak their own indigenous languages before speaking Hausa and they speak both seemlessly and fluently. 4. I have not been to Ilorin so I can't say anything about that, but I know a few Yoruba Fulani who identify as Yoruba, dress as Yoruba and speak Yoruba language with no understanding of Fulfude. They're also devout Muslims as well. Please read and digest my comment before replying. 3 Likes |

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI: All the Emirs of the North are Fulani. Most Nigerian rulers both military and civilian are Fulani. Shagari, IBB, Yar'Adua, Buhari etc. Modified: Since Nigerians lack comprehension and choose to argue with semantics, I hereby modify my original statement to read this: A good number of Nigeria rulers both civilian and military are Fulani e.g Shagari, IBB, Yar'Adua, Buhari (2x) etc. |

AmuDimpka: I get very confused when I hear these folks sometimes. They need to ponder on why there are Igbo speaking communities that retain Igbo culture and traditions deep in Benin when you can't see this vice versa. Nevertheless, I do believe strongly that Benin had attempted several times to expand towards Igboland, which the autonomous and deeply egalitarian Igbos weren't too fond about. This is possibly is why so many western Igbos have folktales of bringing the oba's head, harvesting his teeth for feast making and enthroning rebels in his place. I believe those were some of the favourites. This recurrent mischief by Benin folks at their borders unfortunately caused many Igbo-speaking groups to harbour deep-seated apathy for their western neighbours and their leader. 3 Likes |

Do u actually tink d Benin pple r happy about dis Nigeria entity, imagine an empire dat once colonise half of southern Nigeria is now a minority in dat same country... Bendel will neva follow biafra or oduduwa, it's better to be on our own and if u read ur history book immediately biafra troop arrive Benin den declare an independent state as d Republic of Benin dat dis not last long 6 Likes |
