almost all the stories of slave trade has been in the south ,we have little or nothing about slave trade in northern Nigeria, anyone knows?

Yes
Trans Saharan slave trade
To Egypt
Saudi Arabia
Libya etc
Nigeria basically supplied slaves to the world

There were the jihads. Northern Nigeria was not predominantly hausa islam until Uthman dan fodio reared his ugly head.

Slave trade occured in Africa entirely including Northern Nigeria but there are no proper documentation about them

How is Jihad related to slave trade?

It was very rampant in the North, their trading route were both trans Sahara and trans Atlantic

Tafawa balewa's father was a slave

The major problem was that after Fulanis took over Hausa kingdoms, they only kidnapp and sold hausas... This made many Hausa flee down South and met with British Colonialist soldiers

The British and the Hausa fleeing slaves started the British west Africa frontier force... They succeeded in sending Fulani emirs away and stopping slave trade

British in turn made Hausa the First Constabulary of Nigeria , later local police, which later became Nigerian Army

He asked if there was slave trade and I said there were jihads instead.

Unless you can show me a timeline of northerners being sold and shipped off. With proof of where they settled after slavery had been abolished.

Go and pick up your history book.. You must be one of those people that missed social education and Geography classes

Now you’re deflecting.

If you know so much, educate us here.

The OP asked a question after all.

Give us timelines and point us to reading materials.

Na them be this.

You can argue but you cannot back up your arguments with proof.

It was not even an argument to start with. I actually want to know but I will not take your word of mouth as canon.

Even before you mentioned google, I had already taken a quick glance at some search results and almost all of them point back to slavery in southern Nigeria.

Even you yourself said:

Chai, Chi Chi, come and shee shomething

There was, but it was within the ambit of what was considered "normal" at that era - trade of POW of "fringe tribes" with no organised state (I dont mean to trivialize those it happened to). But it didn't happen @ the industrial scale it did in other parts of the country

But this is not in our history, even the North have not told us about this in any document

There was slave trade in Northern Nigeria. There was domestic slave trade and the Trans-Saharan slave trade. Alhassan Dantata, Aliko Dangote's great grandfather was sold into slavery when he was young but he and his brother were able to free themselves.

You try.

There are three types of slave trades that were usually taught in history classes in Nigerian schools: the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, the Trans-Sahara Slave Trade and the Domestic Slave Trade.
