The Fulani in Nigeria are powerful and assertive because they conquered the peaceful agrarian indigenes(Hausa) speaking people. Nowadays there is not much difference between the two inherently different ethnic groups. Islam is a religion they share and have in common since the conquest and pacification of the North by the Fulani led jihad of Uthman Dan Fodio. The Hausa are generally peaceful and tolerant hence it was relatively easy for the minority Fulani to over throw their leaders and install Fulani leadership or Chiefs in place of indigenous Hausa leadership. Polygamy is prevalent in pre-conquest Africa but Islam in the sahel region also gave it added legitimacy everywhere in consonant with traditional African customs in Hausa land. The Fulani being typically monogamous is because of their traditional life style- pastorial/nomadism. It is also cheaper and mobile for them to be monogamous not because they are more disciplined or not. They are vengeful and unforgiving because they can afford to be so amongst very tolerant, peaceful and laid back agrarian neighbours. They are not actually very aggressive nor domineering in other places in West Africa as they are in Northern Nigeria. I think that the overall peaceful nature of other Nigerians have been construed as laziness or cowardice by the Fula and it raises the mystic of the so called brave fulani in the Nigerian sphere quite unlike other places where they are looked down on or even discriminated against. I blame the middle-belt farmers for being unreasonably tolerant and fearful in their own land/farmlands being trespassed and destroyed by roaming fulani herdsmen. Physically, they are slim built or willowy and vary in complexion depending on which country they come from. The Hausa language is also spoken by the Fulani and majority indigenes. It is only natural that it is so, the fulani are the minority ethnic group. The Fulani are from somewhere else north west and West of Nigeria - Guinea, Niger, Mali and other places in West Africa. You can actually discern their origin/ethnicity from some of their names quite distinct from the Hausa. The eating or food habits of the Fulani depending on where they come from are quite distinct from typical indigenous Hausa eating habits/taste. The Fulani are predominantly business/trading people(nomads) whereas the Hausa are also traders and Farmers(sedentary). Their mode of dressing and embroidery, jewellery etc are quite different from the Hausa. There are more differences between the two groups. Inter-marriages have gone a long way in neutralising some very distinct differences between them culturally and physically, hence the constant annoying "Hausa/Fulani" terminology by other Nigerians, to group them together as if they are one and the same but for Islam(religion) for the majority of them. There are Christians amongst the two groups especially amongst the indigenous Hausa. There are animists/traditional religion amongst them too.

They didn't conquered, but muslims with a fulani leader made an islamic revolution In hausa land.
Usman Dan Fodio ans his Father were born In Gobir kingdom...

okosodo: Any beast that supports the nonsense they call amnesty should die

So okosodo, I believe that you are one among Boko haram because many criminals that were caught on the place of bombing were not muslims.Muslims and christians of north only suffer this criminality. Boko haram was created only for a purpose that only those who initiated it know the goal. Do you know what injustice is going on in the North.Muslims suffer much about this phenomenon which shows that this act is commited by inconcious guys like you who followed western wish to see Nigeria at the backwaed of nations. Many of bombings were done by non muslims. where is the invisible hand?
