How Alimi Was Able To Conquer Kwara State by TajuDEENaMao: 7:08am On Jul 19, 2023
The Fulani came into Ilorin, a Yoruba town, in 3 batches. And they gradually took over the control of the town. The first group was made up of Islamic apostles. They were led by Mallam Alimi, a Quranic teacher, who claimed to be a flag bearer of Usman Dan Fodio’s Sokoto Caliphate. They are called town Fulani.

The other two groups were herdsmen and minstrels. The herders took care of cattle in the bush, while minstrels hawked armlets, charms, and sought patronage for fortune consultation in the neigbourhood. They were patronised by those who believed in their divine power.

They quickly adapted to the living patterns of their host community. Deceptive in outlook, their meek mien fooled the Yoruba people, who welcomed them with open arms. They did not know or suspect that the Fulani were mean land grabbers, who were ready to turn the socio-political table of Ilorin against their benefactors.

This does not mean that they don’t have a home land. They are mostly everywhere in the North and West Africa.

These people, who are said to be indigenes of Futa Jalon Highland in the Republic of Guinea, are in constant migration. Those who are sympathetic to their cause claim that as herdsmen, they are forced to take their cattle to places where they can find grass to feed their cows. There are also those who believe that they are devilish squatters ready to usurp their hosts who are not quick enough to know their diabolical intentions.

Besides their cattle which are for economic survival, they are mostly equipped with Quranic knowledge that helps them hide behind religion, which they wear on their sleeves. At first encounter in any community, the hosts are easily deceived to take them as scholars in Islam and Quranic knowledge. No wonder they are regarded messengers of Islam, who are on a mission to spread Islam among infidels.

Their claim to proferring divine solutions to people’s health and socio-economic challenges, usually

Fulani and Ibo are the two tribes troubling Nigeria. They are a menace everywhere they go. I mean, they should do some introspection and ask why every host community complains about them.
It would be a wonderful day when a new land is carved out and the two tribes are relocated there to intermarry and love each other. The rest of us will live in peace and prosperity together forever thereafter.

It becomes even very much interesting when the story of how Simon Ekpa is conquering the whole of South East and not just one state alone shocked from far away Finland is unfolding in this present time of 2023. grin

If this happened 200 years ago. And we are reading it today, it will beat our imagination that a people can be controlled from as far away as Finland by an individual who commands them at will such as ordering them sit down at home unable to go find there daily bread. It's no folklore it is unfolding in this 21th century.

Fulani population in Ilorin are not up to 20%

Yoruba is the main Language that's why only Yoruba has been their governor back to back

We don't worry ourselves with frivolity.

How Ekpa dey control over 20 millions people to sit at home in 21st century is our major concern now πŸ˜‚πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
