What My Father Told Me About Hausa-fulani by sirjamesjnr(m): 10:16am On Sep 18, 2020 |
"Hausa-Fulani is a conjecture used to categorize the majority of Northern people. Let me say that is faulty and myopic. The North is not all Hausa-Fulani, neither are all Hausas and Fulanis muslims. There is a great Christian population in Kano, Jos, Katsina and Kaduna. Most times people regard the Northerners as being religiously intolerant. I think Igbos are more religiously intolerant. I have seen many Hausa and Fulanis Christians (and some are my friends) but I've seen just two Igbo Muslims (and these two are often given the treatment of lepers amidst other Igbos). That said, I'd posit that the true accusation against the Northerners is religious inflexibility. A Northerner is not always willing to have a change of mind on religious issues. As a matter of fact, this is not only religiously. The Hausa-Fulani people are highly conservative, tending to latch on more tenaciously to beliefs and ideals once they have been internalized. And they are ready to put their lives on the line to preserve and protect those ideals because, well, what else is acceptable other than this perspective we have, they think. I'm not saying Northern conservatism is wrong. I'm saying that it often becomes the spur or the excuse for violent behavior as elicited often by the Hausa-Fulani person. Yes, there are educated Northerners who have developed some degree of flexibility and objectivity towards matters(and by educated, I mean having experienced Western education, which teaches one scientific enquiry). These educated ones, however, are in the minority. It seems almost like there is a conspiracy of some sort, where the oligarchs in the North prefer for their people to remain uneducated enough as to retain easy malleability and maneuverability. The Hausas are also not very ambitious (at least not as dangerously ambitious as the Igbos). Most of them living in the South are pretty much satisfied living a nomad's life. They believe in simpler virtues such as hardwork, contentment and honesty. Fulanis, for their part, are ambitious almost solely towards the political sector. This, I presume, is a lingering instinct from the great Fulani kingdom established by Usman Dan Fodio. The Hausa-Fulani people can be very agreeable and friendly to other people - they already are exceptionally friendly to themselves - if you stay out of their way of doing things and, oh, if you speak their language. However, being faced with a fast-paced, ever-changing world, the Northerner is wont to have a repugnant view of certain widely accepted standards and is not shy to pick up a sword if need be".

This write up just hits the nail on the head in regards to each tribe towards religion. The igbos are the most intolerant in terms of religion, hardly will you see a Muslim Igbo but with other tribes, a mix of the religion is common in many families. Above all, the Yorubas are the most tolerant towards religion in Nigeria. 26 Likes 1 Share |

Let me still make this clear! The power the north posses is unity in diversity! Do you know that we have More than 500 tribes in the north?? Yes we have over 500 tribes in the north. Most of you think the north is about Hausafulani. Hausa is a General language in the north. Arewa is our identity... We have thousands of Christians in the north! The north is not all about Islam! The Hausa Christians worship their God... Whitout insulting Islam. Muslims in the north worship Allah whitout insulting Christianity. There is a mutual respect and understanding. That's why you will never hear of Hausafulani Christians fighting. The fight is always between the Igbos and the north. The north is more tolerant than the east. We don't care about what you worship. Just respect yourself... But in the east... An igbo Muslim is just like an endangered animal. When it comes to hatred and bigotry... Leave am for Easterners! If you come to the north... You'll hardly differentiate between, Hausa, Fulani, kanuri, zuru, Babur, and other tribes here That's why they call northerners Abokkii in the east regardless of their tribe. Another factor that is uniting the north is the hatred coming from the south. When they want to condemn and insult Hausafulanis... They will insult and Condem the whole north. Any small thing... You'll hear northerners! The north is united... And growing stronger than ever before! The hatred is only making us stronger and conscious of our enemies 27 Likes 3 Shares |
