The main origin of the Fulanis and how they dominate African politics(photos) by Arewa1stSon: 7:15am On Mar 13, 2021
The Fulani (As we are called in West Africa) are direct descendants from Noah's son Shem who is the father of Arpachshad, the father of Cainan.

The Fulanis are of Asiatic tribe with Semitic Origin, branched up from within Amorites of the Levant, who occupied a large part of Southern Mesopotamia from 21st Century BC.

The Fulanis produced great kings, notably, Hammurabi.
The Amorites are ancient nomadic tribes, known for herding cattle, goats, and sheep.

After the fall of the Akkadian Dynasty, and the formation of Assyria and Babylonia, the tribe move southward into Egypt, known as the Hyksos.

The Hyksos got into Eqypt around 2040BC as nomadic herders with their cattle, sheep, goats. By the 13th Dynasty Eqypt, the Hyksos were able to get to the top of Power due to their conservative culture, resilience, and high level of intelligence, leadership & administrative skills.

The Hyksos are also known as the Shepherd Kings, due to their herding of cattle, sheep and goats, and other smaller animals.
Due to tribal affiliation with the Semitic tribe, the Hyksos were instrumental to the eventual raise of Joseph in Eqypt as the Chief Finance Minister.

Eventually, the Hyksos rose to Power and the 15th Dynasty King of Eqypt was of their bloodline. The Hyksos Kings ruled Egypt for 120 years before the exodus.

After the fall of the Hyksos Rulers, (Known as the foreign Kings), they were expelled, during the Exodus, alongside Moses and several other non-Egyptian tribes.

While Prophet Moses as his group crossed the Nile into the Canaan, the Hyksos moved into the Lower Eqypt Delta, where it is now called Southern Sudan.

They settled there due to the presence of water and grasses to tend their animals. In some instances, traveling to Dahomey (through present-day Nigeria) during the Winter-Summer and Back to Sudan during the Autumn-Spring.

During the Moorish wars in Sudan, Africans were killed and massacred, including some of the inhabitants Fulani.

Continuation....


However, due to some cultural and religious connections, some of the Fulani were preserved, but their cattle were confiscated and handed over to their black slaves, to serve at the pleasure of the Royal Al Moravid Kings.

This explains why some largely black people of Sudan owned large amount of cattle. They are from the confiscation of the Moorish warriors who handed over to the slaves to serve as the royal booty of wars.

Some of the Fulani tribe moves westward into Central Africa, Cameroun, & Northern Parts of Nigeria, while some moved eastward to Present Day Rwanda & Uganda. Some, however, moved Northward toward Chad, Niger, Parts of Northern Nigeria Mali, Mauritania, and Western Saharawi.


The spread continued to Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote Devoir, Guinea, The Gambia and Senegal with smaller numbers in countries like Sierra Leone, Liberia, Togo and Ghana.

The Fulani founded the Mali Empire, the Songhai Empire that ruled from the 15th to 16th Century, until its invasion by the Moorish warriors of the Moroccan dynasty and dissolved it in 1591.

The Bambara Empire and Massina Empire. All these empires stretches from the Central and Western African Countries, including most of Nigeria, from Borgu, to Oyo, upward to Senegal.


The Jihad of Uthman Dan Fodio of the 1800s was a response to the high level of injustice and provocation of the ruling elite against the poor and the weak in the society, with the aim of rebuilding the social fabrics, already destroyed by the excesses of the elite.

Thus, from the arrival of the Hyksos (Fulani in West Africa) in Egypt in 2040BCE, it can be seen clearly that the Fulani have been in and around Africa, including Nigeria for the past 4700 years.

When the Fulani came to these areas, most of the tribes, especially those within the rain forest don't even know how to wear clothes. It was the Fulani that first brought the system of the central government, administration, commerce & civilization to Africa, before the colonials.

The Fulani have been relatively peaceful, respectful of all environments they found themselves and supportive of the local population.
This can be seen in how to quickly assimilate into Eqypt culture, to Sudan, Mali, Hausa, and even Yoruba Culture in the present day Kwara state.

Attempt at complete criminalization of the name Fulani simply because of the actions of few is grossly unfair to this very progressive, development-oriented, and law and order-driven group of people called the Fulani Clans.

Granted, some can be bad and exhibit some criminal behaviors, which should rightfully be condemned, but generally, the Fulani are more tolerant, more receptive of the foreign culture, and more involving, juster, and more balance in their actions and leadership expressions.

The Hyksos (Fulanis) brought civilization to Egypt, Sudan, Sahel, down to forest Africa. Even in East Africa, the Tutsis, (Tribe of Paul Kagame) and Wahume of Kenya are the cousins and offshoots of the Fulani tribe, the settled, intermarry, and brought civilization to the region.

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 President of Guinea-Bissau, Umaro Sissoco Embalo;

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

The 74th President of the United Nations General Assembly, Tijjani Muhammad-Bande; and the Secretary-General of OPEC, Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo!

Fulani presidents in Africa!!

Is this an attempt at image laundry? Too late.

The Fulanis we know are killer herdsmen secretly engaging in ethnic cleansing to take over the land of their hosts, and sometimes pretending to be Muslims to hide their ethnic agenda.

But you guys have been found out and your evil mission has failed.

Hyksos overran everywhere they went. They decimated Egypt and made Egypt to loose its civilization. Egypt was the center of civilization before the Hyksos got there. What did they do? They destroyed everything just like it is playing out in Nigeria. Tell me, what has happened to pre Usman Dan Fodio civilization of Kano, Zaria, Sokoto etc? What innovation does Fulani tribe bring except backwardness. Buhari is classical example.

they have managed to dominate the African polity because they eliminate opponents. They are murderers. They are mainly terrorists.

The business model of Dangote in Nigeria is an act of terror, the entire Nigerians remain slaves to dangote group which is used to enrich only Fulani’s by making dangote group the only importer of essential commodities into Nigeria. Blocking major investments into Nigeria

There is nothing relevant in fulanis except bloodshed


The barkindo you mentioned is opec head because of quota system of oil owned by Niger Delta


The Bande and Amina in UN are another quota system beneficiaries of "one Nigeria"


I am waiting for you to show us fulanis excelling abroad in the tech world or appointed by first world nations because that is the only scale of equity we can use to judge brains outside this quota entanglement of Northgeria

I think it's time someone told this guy the DIY oxygen regulator that fulani boy is holding is not a complex system to to produce. The thing is operated by a person manually squeezing the inflated bladder.
The real automated ventilator is a complex machine to produce, you're talking about data cables, screens, 3D printing, complex artificial intelligence system which allows a brain dead patient to breathe.
The science community will be bemused at the adulation the young man received from largely illiterate fulani nomads for producing a "ventilator" with a wooden box.

Fulanis never existed 1500 years ago so stop all these pathetic lies. Those familiar with Taqiya will know fulani savages will say anything to defend and whitewash their cursed tribe. This is what they do to gain acceptance from gullible communities only to turn around and slaughter them. Yes history has thought us that societies and communities that accept fulanis to live with them end up disapearing from the map - Massacre of Hausa kings by Usman Danfodio led fulani force is a good example.
Fulanis leave trails of blood everywhere they go.

THOSE WHO FAIL TO LEARN FROM HISTORY WILL FALL FOR FULANI TAQIYA. AND THE MOMENT YOU BELIEVE THEIR LIES, THEN YOU'RE AS GOOD AS DEAD.
NEVER ALLOW FULANIS INTO YOUR VILLAGES AND COMMUNITIES.
