Jerryherd: Arrewa brodas have been very troublesome since the beginning of time. Those skinny men cause so much anxiety and stampede everywhere they set their cracked heels. I watched a video of one Emir I think from Taraba talking tough with his hands shaking and lamenting about the destructions of Arrewa Jalo brodas. Fulanis should be fumigated so Nigeria will breathe fresh air. |

Monogamy:Not directly but many people in conquered territories were forced to convert or were under treat of becoming slaves thogh conversion might not necessarily protect them That is a core part of Islam despite their deceitful claims of no compulsion in religion. Mind you I am not a Christian either 1 Like |

Monogamy:do you know what our great grandfathers went through. If they ( Hausa) enter your villages they will empty your sailors and feed their animals with our grains packed the remaining and kidnapped people to their emir. They will organise themselves and go for Jan hunting if you catch 2 or 3 people the sarki will take one for himself. |

Plomo: This is a story too long too for for justice to be done to it by a post here. If you are really interested in learning, there are books both online and offline. Uthman Dan Fodio was a Fulani man that fought against Hausa states, replaced the Hausa rulers with Fulani rulers. Also, remember that Islam was Northern Nigeria before the Uthman Dan Fodio's jihad. This topic was about slavery in Northern Nigeria. Not the Utham Dan Fodio's jihad 1 Like |

Plomo: Slave trade happened all over Nigeria! Remember, even before the transatlantic slave trade, most tribes in Nigeria were engaged in local slave trade. This includes the North. Most of the slaves captured or sold to northern slave traders send to North Africa through the Sahara trade route. In fact, Ilorin was set up to stop slave raiding from the North and the Ilorin gaining independence from Yoruba were led by former slaves that fought with Afonja. It is better to not argue when you don't know. The issue you won't see the impact of slaves in North Africa and Arab countries is that they don't allow slaves to have children. So slaves are replaced by new ones and when slavery ended, all slaves died out. However, even at that, if you look well, you will meet darker Arabs that have black ancestors 4 Likes |

One of the main reasons why Islam spread in Africa is because the Muslims cared for each other and didn't sell each other into slavery (they sold infidels) and even those sold were not sold to the Atlantic slave trade which was far worse compared to other slave trade at the time. Compare this with Igbo and Yoruba rulers who gladly sold their own people into slavery and you understand Afonja and Ilorin war better. |

Re: Was There Ever Slave Trade In Northern Nigeria? by anungangampu: 1:56pm On Jul 24, 2021 |
I think they did but it wasn't a culture to give up slaves over there, but Southern already had many custom that exile people and domestic slave trade before the British. Or another explanation was Nothern Nigeria was already under a foreign rule (Uthman dan fodio) even before the white came. |

aribisala0:This is blatant falsehood and you know it. Till this day we still have "maguzawa" (heathens)in Kano not to speak of other places in the North. if it was forceful conversion how come these heathens still survived. |

Saifullah01:You react like explosive chemicals Full of emotion and no reason Go back and read what I wrote Are you saying there was no forceful conversion at all yes or no Did I say EVERYONE was forced to convert So where is the "blatant lie" in what I said or the contradiction with your claim that so called Maguzawa survive. Does that prove there was no forceful conversion. Here you are calling someone a liar. Pointing one finger when the other nine are pointing at you Even today is there no forceful conversion Are non Muslims not married by force Forceful conversion is not only by putting the sword to people's throats even though that may happen it includes discriminatory taxes and social practices 1 Like |
