Lol. This guy, I don't know what we've done to you. In the other thread your problem was with the Hausas and here is with the Fulanis.

He has simply stated the fact. Surprised that you don't know this.


Ethnic communities existed in the North before Hausa traders reached the North in the early centuries and settled there. Hausa is a trader language while Fulfulde is an invaders language. Islam in Nigeria greatly relied on Hausa language because those traders who came through the Tripoli route were Muslims and spoke Hausa. Most Southerners like the Op believe everything taught to in GST class or read in some revisionist text books.

Gombe State is a multi-ethnic society that consists of the majority Fulani tribe, who inhabit the Northern and central part of Gombe State. They dominate 7 out of the 11 Local Government Areas of the state. This include Dukku, Kwami, Funakaye, Nafada, Akko, Yamaltu and Gombe LGAs. Apart from the Fulani, there are also the Tangale, found in Billiri and Kaltungo areas. Other ethnicities include the Hausa, Tula, Tera (Yamaltu-Deba), Waja, Bolewa, and Kanuri, with their different cultural as well as lingual affiliations.[17]

Landmass means nothing in the grand scheme of things, child!

What matters is your Human Resources and how you’re able to develop whatever natural resources you have. Oyo state is large, yet filled with mud houses and rusted buildings. Imo State still has a larger GDP than your big for nothing Oyo state.


Meanwhile, there are also Igbos in Cross river, Benue, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Edo, Rivers etc. Igboland is far bigger than South East. Meanwhile, there are other tribes in the SW and the only oil bearing community in SW is owned by Ijaws in Ondo.
You guys should learn to stop saying what you don't know online..

The oil in Ondo is not own by ijaw but ilaje.. We can only find ijaw in Ese-odo local government, the ijaws in Ondo state are about 3%. They're migrants and occupy the local government with the ilajes. Ese-odo local government is one of the smallest in Ondo state by population and they're not the only group found there.. The Apoi are already yorubanise and see themselves as Yoruba while the Arogbo still retain some of their tongue..

We also have the Ogu in Lagos who are found in Badagry section of Lagos.. This people consider themselves to an extent as part and parcel of Yoruba race..

Who are the tribes again Chinedu??.. cool

The demonic government of Nigeria you have been defending since the 70s will soon be exposed. Thank God you are getting this from government source, the Eastern Nigerian just like the North has so many ethnicity just like the North, but the Nigeria government with her divide and rule broke these ethnicities.

Those tribes you mentioned are all part of Aligbo, even other tribes from Rivers, Akwaibom and Calabar are all part of Aligbo.

I don't say you should believe me and disbelief scholars but interrogate some of their claims that's if you have superior information or knowledge. Every ethnic group in Nigeria had one form of movement or the other. Those movements ended centuries before the arrival of Dan fodio and his jihadists. Hausa is commonly spoken in the North but most of the Northerners have other tongues distinct from Hausa. Inter marriages have also affected native tongues especially amongst Muslims who hardly retain their tongues even if they are of the same tongue.

The name is Ette ward 1 and 2

Nsukka lga has no boundary with kogi state, so how can they have igala

The Three LGAs that have boundary with kogi are uzo uwani , Igbo Eze south and igbo Eze North,. The kogites that live at the boundary area with each of these LGAs speak Igbo and that is why some igbos believe there are igbos in kogi state . Only Igbo Eze North have none Igbo speaking tribe within her border and they speak idoma but bounded with kogi/igala community call ogwugwu.
Igbo is not widely spoken in ogwugwu as other kogi tonws on the border because the idoma speaking Ette of Igbo Eze North lie between the kogi igalas and the igbos.

Nsukka L.G.A has boundary with Kogi state in Okutu.

You've a disgusting hatred towards both Hausas and Fulanis or to say Islam, this is glaringly obvious. It's pathetic. Sorry.

So, the Hausas came from Tripoli (There are two Tripoli by the way, one in Libya and the other in Lebanon, both countries speak Arabic, not Hausa. So?) Who were the original inhabitants of Kasar Hausa like the one in Kano, Rano, Katsina, Zazzau (Zaria), Daura, Kazaure, Gobir, Gusau, and Kauran Namoda, among others? Have you ever heard of Bagauda, Bayajidda, Bawa Jan Gwarzo, and Queen Amina of Zazzau?

I don't know what you mean by "Fulfulde is an invaders language" but if you don't know that there were indigenous Fulanis in Adamawa, Taraba, Bauchi, Jigawa, Kebbi, Sokoto, and Zamfara, among others, then I'm afraid you're not the person you desperately want us to believe you are.

Honestly, I don't know where you got this mis-information from, that you believe
and attempt to propagate them is even more surprising.

Fulanis were visitors in northern NIGERIA before Dan fodio's jihad made them indigenes up to Ilorin. Nupe, kwararafa and kanem Borno existed long the Fulani invasion and Islam was practiced there. These kingdoms were neither Hausa nor fulani but today the story is different. North Central Hass been able to retain it's native identity largely because it doesn't share border with trans Sahara trade routes.

You seem to like talking without saying anything. How's the story different in the Nupe, Kwararrafa, and Kanem Bornu while they've neither been Hausa nor Fulani to this very day? Did you see anybody mentioning them among the Hausa-Fulani? Certainly no. So what's exactly your point? You may be shocked to know that the Birom in Plateau state uses Hausa even among themselves. Did anybody force them?

You didn't tell us from which Tripoli the Hausas came from and you're now shifting the goal-post again... Tell us where did the Fulanis came from and spread across northern Nigeria especially the North-east? If you must comment in a public forum you ought to have done your home work properly. You can only mislead some of the people, not all the people. If this were exam, you've failed and failed woefully.

Eziagu is not along enugu markurdi road, you people will just open your mouth wide without knowing what you are saying,
Eziagu lies along enugu Onitsha express road deep in the heart of igboland between enugu and Anambra state.
Eziagu has no boundary with kogi and have no cultural relationship with igala , even the name eziagu is pure Igbo and every Igbo man can tell you the meaning.

1. I was talking about Ezeagu, NOT Eziagu.
2. I was right when I mention a route that is one of many ways you can get to Ezeagu, especially coming from Makurdi.
3. You may be right when you said it is along the Enugu Onitsha Road, as one of the ways one can get to Ezeagu coming from Onitsha or Enugu.

4. You are very wrong to say your father's mate or 'even better than your father's lineage' was
opening his mouth wide or anyhow" while gently dropping his opinion. You attacked me wrongly even when you don't even know how to write Ezeagu correctly. Also, I believe the rush of your adrenaline did not allow you to see the picture attached. You and your kind with this negative behaviour react violently to every issue that seemly does not sit well in your subconscious.

5. Learn how to correct a person without undue aggression, even when they are really wrong, as you are not perfect or
seemingly alright upstairs yourself, as depicted by your illiterate comments. Learn also how NOT to throw punch first. Grow up Mr "Eziagu"

. To every action, there is a reaction. I would not trade words with you more than once again because I know this is not the end of your tantrums and jabs, as a little pig you are.

Son of a thousand fathers telling me " I was opening my mouth wide and anyhow"!
