Is Etsu Nupe, A Fulani Or Nupe? by Favour9ja(m): 5:55am On Oct 09, 2023
The Etsu Nupe is not a pure Nupe, but rather a Fulani. The current Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar, is the 13th Etsu Nupe. His great-grandfather, Mallam Dendo, was a Fulani warrior who conquered the Nupe Kingdom in 1806 during the Sokoto jihad. Dendo became the first Etsu Nupe and his descendants have ruled the emirate ever since.

Although the Etsu Nupe is of Fulani descent, he is also considered the leader of the Nupe people. This is because the Nupe people have a long history of assimilation and intermarriage with other ethnic groups, including the Fulani. As a result, the Etsu Nupe is seen as a symbol of unity for the Nupe people, regardless of their ethnic background.

In addition, the Etsu Nupe is a powerful political figure in Nigeria. He is the head of the Bida Emirate, which is one of the largest and most influential emirates in the country. The Etsu Nupe also has an influential seat in the Nigerian State Council of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs .

So, while the Etsu Nupe is not a pure Nupe, he is still considered the leader of the Nupe people and a powerful political figure in Nigeria.

Was it through pure conquest or usurpation after assisting one Nupe prince against the other? Fulani strategy of taking control of kingdoms in Northern Nigeria needs to be studied by every ethnic group who values her security and independence.
