Something that happened in 1900 .

Were SLS or even FFK born then?

What type of silly question is this.
Use a little research to answer your own question.

Nigeria is in a big mess today, thanks to one man God gave 3 opportunities to rule Nigeria, and get it right, and like a big fool without foresight, OBJ failed in all 3 times.

Why does he suddenly become smarter while out of power?
A few years ago, he endorsed Buhari despite knowing the dictator well, today he is among those complaining about Buhari

Sanusi is not a person that keeps quiet when people are doing something wrong get that you should be ashamed to mention GEJ

What wrong did GEJ do to deserve Sanusi 's unproven allegations timed to inflict maximum political damage?

Karma, karma, where art thou?

APC is not compatible with democracy.
Yes, tell it to the vote rigging, court case fixing Oshiomole.

Karma, karma, karma. Why do I call you?

Henryabuja:
Who is this Usman Dan-fodio again

Over fed usman dan Fodio!

Mohammed Tanko appointed governor of Imo state.

Also, how many educated Fulani is forced overseas?

Racoon:
If Gen.Gowon and Lt.Gen.T.Y Danjuma still get sense, they should joins hands with all the Langtang/Tarok generals to liberate their own people from the atrocities of the fulani terrorists.

Unfortunately they can't!
Now, they form potent prayer warriors and modern day rebels.
Too late, just too late!

Op,
So nice for you to notice. Carving up of Igboland to emasculate it after the civil war was a task given to one justice Nasir, and he did his best to carve, splinter, butcher, and kill Igbo spirit!

justtoodark:
ehen....
then confront people that think like him....
we nigerians dont give a fvck....!!

We Nigerians. or we Fulani herdsmen?

APCNig:
What can Innoson do without the patronage of Yorubas? Yorubas love Innoson, Innoson too loves Yorubas.

Which Yoruba?
The greedy Afonja, Alimi killed many years ago?

justtoodark:
we are nigerians....we are different....
muslim,christian or traditionalists....we are united....!!

Sorry, we're not united while the Fulani carry out jihad against innocent Nigerians.

BalogunIdowu:
Alhamdulilah for Islam
When you understand life from the right sources, all shit talks won't make sense!

At least nobody has placed a fatwa on her head. Christianity is beautiful!

What religion enables one man to kill another, because of his false interpretation of his brother 's actions against the prophet?

By north, you mean Hausa Fulani muslim?

Question is why not arrest the leader and organizer of this so called protest, he is a classic definition of a terrorist!

Gowon and Danjuma are obviously enjoying their northern solidarity now!
Good morning.

hisexcellency34:
He has replaced Fowler and Dakuku, but Magu whose tenure ended since August last year is still in office

Until every Hausa Fulani man gets a job (qualified or not) southerners and Christians can wait.

It's unpatriotic to appoint an old fool without a minimal understanding of economics a minister of this country.

Why waste time calling it small arms when VP could have just said the AK 47 flowing in Fulani herdsmen community?

Fulanis allowed to carry guns; the rest of us, allowed to be shot randomly by Fulanis without any consequences

The very experienced army general with lots security experience will most likely bring stability and security the bloody civilian GEJ could not provide.

Some how security exists only in the malingering mind of Buhari, not in the nation.

Our corruption, decadency failure to thrive all started in sokoto, so a revolution starting from sokoto is our only solution!!!

Another "smart" Igbo man wasting his time in APC like Uzor Kalu.

fk002:
The civil war was because Igbos tried to secede

No love lost.

I didn't say civil war!
Way before the civil war, there was the Nzeogwu coup, and you know the immediate repercussions of that based on class punishment of the Igbos in general. Why there has not been a similar retribution against the Fulani, I don't know, but time will tell.

If you don't know, please read it up.

fk002:
Is sheakau a Fulani? You guys only handpick every bad egg and tag him Fulani. Just to portray Fulani as radicals.


Fulani is a tribe with many influential people beyond Nigeria, you can't fight a tribe like that.

In fact, as of now the UN leadership is in the hands of Fulani.

You cannot proscribe a whole tribe as terrorist. Just like you can't proscribe igbos or yoruba or Hausa as a terrorist.

You had no difficulty murdering every Igbo person at sight, because 4 Igbo soldiers carried out a coup. Oh, you'd say Igbos were rejoicing for the coup?
Well Fulanis have been rejoicing and benefitting from Fodio's criminality for 200 years

Khaleell001:
How did he destroy a whole ethnic group liar!

These are the lies you keep peddling for every zombie who has zero tolerance for facts to feed on and becomes fatteened by it ,not knowing they are swallowing loads and baggage of shits from shitheads like you.

How?
Go ask a common Hausa man who thinks being a Fulani is next to being God.
Fodios's Agadev university degree has continued to hold Hausas in bondage, and some of them have even lost track reality and the truth .

No need to be childish here if you can't hang with people with constructive argument!

Nowenuse:
Yes thank you for telling this truth outrightly to Blue3k2.
But you forgot to add that Mallam Dendo (a fulani offspring/follower) of Danfodio also did the same thing to the Nupes in Nupe land.

Danfodio and his Fulani army conquered Hausas, Ilorin and Nupes with exactly the same treachery technique. They come in peace as friends and the destroy the society and take over from within.

It is only Gombe, Jalingo (Muri) & Yola that fulanis conquered directly through war without treachery....
They however used treachery to maintain and expand it.

Very good point sir.
Many nations celebrate almost mystical founding fathers like George Washington, Gandhi, etc. We are forced to acknowledge a deceptive religious criminal like Fodio.

Look no further if you wonder why Nigeria is going backwards

Blue3k2:
The king made an illegal allien an advisor. Yunfa got lectures from illegal instead of expelling him? Did you logically think about this arguement.

Oh well the better military won and the rest is history. Btw I never schooled in nigeria. I've never seen the law stopping any tier of government from teaching it currently. The states stopped simply because they didnt care to fund it themselves.

Why is it a surprise that the Hausa king sought the advice of someone with a university education in 1742 when we still have all sorts of experterates serving in Nigeria today? You can blame him for being fooled, just like Afonja, but you can certainly see that happening.

On the other side, you don't see Yoruba or Igbo muslims going to Sokoto and preaching to the people that the sultan is practicing impure islam without a blowback: this goes against your revisionist idea that Hausa people supported a foreigner like Fodio against their own king without a lot of military and strategic manipulations thanks to his advanced education.

Blue3k2:
The were the most prosperous empire in the region for a short time. The empire eventually went into decline like the normally do. Lol it's hilarious how a man that's been dead for centuries can cause this mich emotional distress. He just a typical warlord you read about in the history books. Fact is he conviced the people following him to rebel against the stste because the kingdom weren't saints themselves.

Dan Fodio himself is alright in terms of kings. He's wasnt even especially brutal compared to his counter parts in history or region. Its funny you want to paint him as the devil for beating expandion hausa empires. Those war mongers were just too weak to stand against him.

Your conclusion about Fodio leading citizens of Gobir to riot against their own king beats all reason and imagination.

Imagine an alien coming into sokoto today, and somehow convincing present day citizens to riot against the sultan.

First, you can see all sorts of logistical problems with that, and finally you should ask where was the king when all these were happening.

The truth was he killed the king, and somehow convinced some citizens that he was fighting for a purer form of islam, same way Buhari is locking up his opponent, because he is fighting corruption. Yet some citizens didn't accept Fodio for a long time, and those he simply murdered in the name of islam. Yumfa, the son of the sarkin Gobir was on of his victims.

Having accumulated power and resources, Fodio sent his cousin to Kano to replicate the same technique, and it worked, because he was a well educated strategist who understood how to confuse the masses with religious.

BTW, Alimi used the same technique in Illorin to subdue the greedy general working the northern borders of Oyo empire called Afonja. That's why Illorin has a Fulani emir today instead of an Oba.

Blue3k2:
Dan Fodio want to succeed the king? I read the king of Gobir was behaving like tyrant attacking his followers. They eventually took up arms against the state after he declared war first. Th ef Hausa kingdoms just lost to the better military. I dont think people think he's perfect but you're free to shine light on his short comings. Every historical figure has them.

First they used to teach Nigerian history to kids, then they abolished it so that children would not ask why Fodio turned on a God fearing and accommodating sarkin Mohammed Rumfa of Gobir who harbored him for years.

No question Fadion was an illegal alien when he came to Hausa land, but he was more tricky and smarter after his education in Agadev, but he lacked morals just our current president, justifying every criminal action with some flimsy religious bias.

If you want to know Nigerian history go study it outside the Nigerian educational system in unbiased way
