Gerrard59: Art courses are largely country dependent. Nigeria's Law degree is useless outside the country but not for medicine or engineering. Also, in jobs' availability, even their citizens face low prospects and salaries. Check the lamentations by PhD grads in history, philosophy, political science etc. Now, compare to science based courses and you will see the difference. Someone with a PhD in Computer Science from Princeton will quickly get a job anywhere in the world over his counterpart with a PhD in history from the same institution.

salt1: *Injustices Of Voting But Not Being Voted For: The Hausa Plaintive Cry On Recovering Their Lost Kingdom.*
By Col. Dauda Gora (rtd)
Hausa land, history and people yearning for freedom.
Nigerians, 50 years old and above who attended Primary School in any part of what used to be Northern Nigeria, must have been taught during History lessons about the 7 Hausa States of Biram, Kano, Katsina, Daura, Gobir, Rano and Zaria as well as the 7 Banza Bakwai Kingdoms of Zamfara, Kebbi, Yauri, Gwari, Nupe, Kwararafa (Jukun) and Yoruba.
These Kingdoms were viable in virtually every aspect of human endeavour at that time. I should draw the readers attention to the meaning of the Hausa word ”Banza”. Banza, is a derogatory word which means worthless or anything that is of lower quality which clearly showed a marked distinction between the Hausa Bakwai and the Banza Bakwai Kingdoms.
There may have been the pastoral or nomadic Fulani as part of the population in these Kingdoms but not much if anything was recorded in this respect. The Fulani got a mention when migrants from the general area of the Futa Djalon foothills and the SeneGambia region in West Africa arrived Gobir not long before 1800.
Usman Dan Fodio who masqueraded as an Islamic teacher had issues with the leadership in Gobir, the reason he adduced being that a corrupt form of Islam was being practiced and he raised a band of followers that succeeded in violently overthrowing the leadership in Gobir under the guise of purifying Islam.
Instead of replacing the old leadership with indigenes of Gobir he appointed his own Fulani as the new leader and proceeded from there to wage what was erroneously called a Jihad or holy war. Wherever he put under, he appointed either his son or trusted Fulani as Emir thus silencing the Hausa who held power previously. He and his followers even conceived the dream of ditching the Quran in the Atlantic ocean meaning that their mission was to Islamize all the ethnic groups along their path up to the Atlantic Ocean.
Unluckily for them, they came face to face with the realities of gun powder along the general line of Agbede a village south of Auchi and the Kukuruku range of hills running westward. From there the jihadists advance southward was blunted as they were forced to withdraw backward. In other words, they beat a retreat.
As time went on, an advanced form of the Stockholm syndrome may have had its place as the indigenous Hausa began to see the Fulani occupiers and usurpers of their lands as friends and were content with the crumbs that fell from the Fulani dinner tables.
When Karl Marx described RELIGION as the opium of the masses we have to believe within the context of this short essay that he meant much more than the intoxicating effect of the drug. He may also have been referring to the blinding and numbing properties too, otherwise how and why did a foreign invader succeed so easily in steamrolling over all the Kingdoms in Hausa land in less than 2 years ?
It is very obvious that a local form of Fulani apartheid was at play here otherwise having taken over the Kingdoms under the guise of purifying Islam why did they usurp the political arrangement which existed prior?
In all of this the Hausa people must hold themselves to blame for having collapsed like a pack of cards and in many instances, without a single shot being fired?
Had they resisted the political coup against their leadership the story could have been different today but like sheep to the slaughter they were deceived and blindfolded into the make believe that Dan Fodio did come to purify and clean up Islam. Oh, how wrong they were and still are.
The consequences of that terrible blunder over two centuries ago is what Nigeria as a nation is still struggling to deal with.
To acquire legitimacy the Fulani came up with the coinage, Hausa-Fulani again to further blindfold the Hausa population. Everything that was good at that time went to the Fulani causing the Hausa to develop a sense of inferiority complex. Hausa women were taken and are still being forced into marriages by the invaders as the Emirate system took roots.
When eventually the British colonialists came around they found it very convenient not to undo the Emirate system as it served her mercantilist interests. This gave the Fulani the opportunity to further cement and concretize their political as well as social and economic agenda over the Hausa.
The Hausa, their culture, history and tradition began to recede into irrelevance as the invading Fulani easily foisted their own values, tradition and culture over all that remained of the Hausa Kingdoms.
It must be noted though that not all of the Hausa speaking population accepted Islam. Many rejected the faith preferring to continue with their traditional religion and culture. Those who rejected Islam were derogatorily called Maguzawa for the simple reason that they rejected Islam. These original Hausa speaking people still occupy large swaths of land in many States in the North, not limited to the old and now extinct Hausa Kingdoms.
As punishment for rejecting Islam the Hausa over the ages have been subjected to wholesale neglect and deprivation. Government policies and projects like Schools, Hospitals, Justice and Roads have been denied them. To date, the hybrid Fulani are still treating the Hausa as if they are the booty of war. Hausa young women are serialy kidnapped and forced into marriages against their will. They have no access to justice as any protestation with regard to forced marriages and land seizures are usually summarily dismissed in the courts.
The Hausa have suffered untold hardship under the terrible, rapacious and corrupt feudal system forcing many to find refuge under the comforting arms of the Christian faith. It is under this arrangement that development is beginning to filter through by way of Schools and Medical care.
Politically, care has been taken to ensuring that the Hausa can only vote but can hardly be voted for in their own land. The fate of the original Hausa speaking people of the old Hausa Kingdoms is not any different from that which the Red Indians suffered in what is now the United States of America except that in the United States steps are being taken to reach out and to rehabilitate the Red Indians.
Can similar steps be taken in today’s Nigeria for the Hausa?
Surely a Historical wrong can be righted so that the Hausa can recover their place in History. The blood letting that has been going on in Zamfara and other States in the northern fringes appears to be a continuation of the political jihad by other means. The current state of insecurity all over Nigeria but particularly in the Northern States would appear to be the last phase of the Fulani political jihad.
Whilst the hapless population in Southern Kaduna, the lower Plateau, Benue and other State were ongoing, the Presidency was not concerned but when a governor gave a quit notice to so-called Fulani herders illegally occupying a Forest Reserve in his State the Presidency was up in arms at the instance of Miyetti Allah pontificating that Fulani have the right to settle wherever they so wish within the territory of Nigeria.
Surely, the Fulani must be operating under a hybrid 1999 Constitution which is why they are flaunting themselves all over the place. The Nigeria Police is quick in arresting Sunday Igboho for being a threat to Fulani interest in Oyo State but the same Police have been so lethargic in arresting the Fulani terrorist jihadist responsible for mass murder in Zangon Kataf LGA. This is justice the Nigerian style.
Since Usman Dan Fodio’s foray into Hausaland early in the 19th Century life has never been the same for the Hausa speaking population then and even now. The social, political and economic conditions of the Hausa took a turn for the worse especially during the British colonialist enterprise and up to independence in 1960 when the Colonial masters handed Nigeria to the Fulani wholesale.
At independence, Nigeria held some beautiful promises of growth and progress but because those who inherited Nigeria after the British departure were inept in many ways, especially under Fulani hegemony the new nation very quickly became stunted.
The Fulani through the period of military dictatorship worked from below the surface to ensure that with the influence of their Emirs that the best of everything was reserved for them and their apologists. The Military either advertently or inadvertently simply became errand boys of the powerful Fulani Emirs. At every stage of State Creation the North had the preponderance of States in the so-called Federation. At the Federal level juicy appointments were reserved for Fulani people and so overtime, they have gotten to become very powerful in Nigeria while the Hausa whose lands had been taken over became onlookers.
Prompting this essay is an audio message by an extremely courageous Hausa speaking lady which has gone viral on Social Media in which she was lamenting the plight of the Hausa people even under the brutish Fulani ruling class.
That it is a woman and not a man who is taking up this fight against the injustice that is being meted to the Hausa people is simply wonderful. The lady in the audio has heaped all the blame for the plight of the Hausa on the occupying Fulani especially under the Buhari junta then and now. Usman Dan Fodio’s politically minded jihad may have gotten stunted in 1804 but clearly as current events are now evincing, the Fulani have not given up on continuing with that age long dream of completely taking over the whole territory called Nigeria. In this endeavour there appears a modern day Usman Dan Fodio in the president of the nation.
The strategy for achieving this grand objective has been throwing open our porous borders to imported Fulani jihadist terrorists from the Sahelian North of Africa many of who were mercenaries in Libya before the fall of Muammar Gaddafi. These terrorist groups simply moved into Nigeria under the guise of being pastoralists or herders and have brought with them death and destruction of lives and property.
The Nigerian State watched the unfolding events probably with amusement. Because it is an Islamist agenda being executed, no counter action was taken. That a modern State in the 21st Century can still be making a case for nomadic Fulani and open grazing is as laughable as it is shameful.
I will continue referencing the Grazing Reserve and Ruga Bill in the National Assembly as the ploy the PMB regime had wanted to deploy for a subtle yet complete takeover of the entire territory called Nigeria.
Today, Fulani either as herders or terrorists are everywhere in the territory of Nigeria, flaunting themselves and the sophisticated arms being smuggled across the borders in the North.
What if one may ask, are Fulani herders doing in the forest areas, but particularly in the Reserves of Southern and Eastern Nigeria ? By whose authority are the Fulani forcefully occupying lands across the nation without even consulting the local communities?
The present government has on purpose turned deaf ears to the highly incendiary and combustible language of Miyetyi Allah. From all available audio and video recordings as well as press briefings, Miyetti Allah qualifies as a terrorist organization.
While there is no secret as to it’s leadership, no action has been taken by the national security architecture to have them explain some of their utterances.
Many dissatisfied parts of this beleaguered nation are in ebullition and unless a more suitable political arrangement is agreed upon and soon, Nigeria as presently constituted may be living on borrowed time.
The current leadership can choose not to learn from history by dismissing what happened in the former USSR, former Yugoslavia, Indonesia and Ethiopia at her own peril.
If the Fulani, their sponsors and apologists continue to toy with the unity of this nation, they will soon find out too late that they have committed a terrible blunder.
To God Be The Glory.

Igboland and igbos is what keeping Nigeria together.. Igbos and igboland is what keep delaying Islamic and fulanization
Fulani can do anything anyhow in every part of Nigeria with brazen audacity.. not in igboland
Not even okoracha or Uzor kalu will sell their native right to Fulani .. even with their Fulani Hausa blood.
Any day Fulani becomes bold in igboland like they’re doing in middle belt and southwest... Walahi even our asslicking governors will revolt.. walahi even umahi will get sense by force.
Fulani invasion of east is the end of Nigeria..
Now ESN ARE ARMED ... IS A DOUBLE WAHALA FOR NIGERIA NOT EVEN FULANI The jihadist were prepaid to launch their self in the east at beginning of 19th century, but the terrain wasn't conducive for them, republican structure of the Igbo coupled with the effect of tse- tse fly hampered their ambition. |

What makes the landlord of Lagos to think that his situation will be different? He is fooled by Buhari's meek attitude and favors towards him... Just as Afonja was fooled by Alimi's pius meekness... and the Hausa people were fooled by Usman Dan Fodio's holy traits as he embarked on a tribal jihad and Zik was fooled by the Sadaurna who ended up disgracing NCNC for Akintola with plans to remove him from office and replace him with a Yoruba prince, Justice Adetokunbo Ademola.....
same way MKO was fooled by Shagari's meekness when he was promised presidential ticket after one term in office for Shagari.... Same way MKO was fooled by Abacha...same way Awolowo was fooled by Gowon after the civil war...
The Fulani meekness... feigning of ignorance that made Ironsi trust them with his security details.... while gradually, all the boys around him were replaced with loyalists sworn to the Northern agenda....
same way Alimi had all the security details around Afonja replaced, shortly before they launched a palace coup on him.... after the spies reported his attempt to send message to Onikoyi for military help and Alimi had the message intercepted.
He is silent while his people are being killed. Where will he run to after they eventually isolate him to destroy him like they did many of his predecessors that walked in his path?
The sole reason they desperately want to remain in Yorubaland in strategic postions of aggression is to wreck psychological warfare that would keep everyone silent after they play their joker in 2023. This is a blue print of Fulani history since their days from Futa Jalon.
The Yorubas will say a dog that doesn't heed the whistle of his Master is going to get lost.

Politics › Re: Fulani And Hausa: What's The Difference by Blankstare(m): 8:46am On Jan 27, 2021 |
ceaser: Hausas are nice people and are usually known to be generous when they really want to. They also do not forget favours and people that are nice to 'em irrespective of creed, although they may be a little careful if such person is of a different faith. Hausas do not have landgrabbing tendencies and that is why you tend to see them limited to wherever their sabo is in each locality. Their fair level of liberalism is their fairly little allowance of intertribal marriages. But they have short fuses. When angered, they can be highly destructive. But in peaceful times, you'll love interacting with 'em. And although Hausas are not know to display so much varouge, that does not imply that they won't fight when angered and they don't need to have weapons to fight back.
Fulanis on their own, hmmmmm (heaved a long sigh).
They are not nice, they are not generous, they are opportunistic, landgrabbers which explains their tendency to spread like metastatic cancers away from their original location in any given locality. They also have extremely short fuses in 10 times out of 10, hence that popular belief that a "nice Fulani" is an oxymoron and that the word "Fulani" and the word "nice" should not coexist together in a single sentence. They are usually extremists such that the average Hausa is even careful of them. However there has been significant mixing of the two (Hausa and Fulani) over decades such that the Hausa have lost some of their identity, but the fulanis have been careful to keep purebred bloodlines for times of conquests and monarchy, a drive which they still push till this day and the reason for the Central African Republic (CAR) crisis.
Fulanis are typically cowards but they display this pseudocourage thingy because they most times walk around with one form of weapon or another. In instances where they are outgunned they flee. (CAR, Ghana and Mali as case studies) and that is why they do most of their attacks under the cover of darkness and then flee into the bushes. What they do therefore is to try as much as possible to emasculate their targets and then come in to do the damage using weapons (like they did in Benue where the Fulani led soldiers seized weapons from the locals and then made signs to the Fulani herdsmen around to strike) Interesting analysis sir! Allow me to add that the original Hausa that aren't dented by Fulani madness are very nice people till this day called the 'maguzawas'. They abhor any kind of violence, very pious people who hardly practice any religion though few are Christians. They are found in present day kadunas state, kebbi and Kano. What still borders historians is how the hausas were fully subjugated, sometimes I think because the old habe kingdoms didnt developed centralised system of government and their culture wasn't well sophisticated enough. Albeit to say there's still hope for Ilorin which will come glaring at the instance of Nigerian balkanisation as 80% of ilorite will go back home with the southwest. |

]It is our view that, the repeated quit notice or outright ejection, being given to citizens of Nigeria within Nigeria in response to conflict or crisis will amount to courage without clarity and mismanagement of crisis. Such unfortunate proclamations or unlawful ejection, instead of addressing the insecurity situation, may aggravate it, not just in the South West, but across the length and breadth of the country.
The Attack on Seriki Fulani in Ibarapa, no matter the good intention, will do more harm than good to the people and government across the country should do everything they can to discourage such unhealthy practices. Insecurity in the country affects everybody.
People being kidnapped and killed in Katsina State are Fulani. People being kidnapped and killed in Zamfara are Fulani. People being kidnapped and killed in Kaduna are Hausa and also Fulani.
Who will victims in those northern states hold accountable other than the government?
Available facts shows that, contrary to popular narrative, even the Fulani herders are also victims of the insecurity and it would amount to double catastrophe to create an atmosphere of chaos under the guise of seeking an end to the security situation in South West.
Although, based on our investigation, the Ondo State government didn't give quit notice to Fulani herders in Ondo State as reported, the governor actually gave them order to quit a reserved forest, which has been taken over by them for years.
Ordinarily, occupying such reserved forest in itself is against the law and so, it would not be right to say they were given quit notice in Ondo, because they could live in any other part of the state outside the reserved forest they are currently occupying unlawfully.
In Oyo on the other hand, the situation has degenerated into house and car burning, which has reportedly claimed two lives and if not controlled, its effect will be counter productive to the peace we all seek.
Our advise to the federal government would be to be up and doing in its responsibility of securing the nation.
The continuous failure of the federal government and all previous governments in handling the security situation can no longer be tolerated.
Government needs to be up and doing in its responsibility of securing the nation, to ensure citizens don't need to resort to self help.
Government also need to make national security focus peacebuilding centric to ensure appropriate information about the situation is known by all stakeholders and jointly, we can device a lasting solution. |
