Him you continue to repeat the same narrative that Fulani where slaves minorities in the mali empire honestly there are indeed Fulani slaves here but the majority of them are intellectuals that settled mainly in gao and timbuktu.

And yes koli tengella is a nationalistic Fulani that organised the Fulani nomads against mali and indeed he succeeded in carving out large territory of Mali in to empire of great pulo he even conquered the Fulani Muslim state of tekrur and established the denianke dynasty who later converted.
What is more this Malians later after being conquered by the songhai and the fall of songhai it self lost it intectuall prominence and return to there paganism until a 19th century Fulani reformer by the name seku ahmadu established a jihadists state on sokoto model with capital at hamdallahi.
And then after the French conquests they highly favored the bambara and mandinka whom some of them convert to Christianity the divisive policy of the French antagonised both the Fulani and tuaregs who France systemically weakened that is why mali today has rebellious movement by the national movement for azawad (tuareg) and the massina liberation front (Fulani).

The bolded says it all. Fulanis were slaves in the Malian empire and it was the Malian Muslim envoys that introduce Islam in Yorubaland in the 15th century not Fulani. That's it.

Thanks for acknowledging.

Mr man you know nothing about history of the Fulani or mali empire, Fulani are slaves in mali empire? I have a good laugh reading this, Fulani are an essential part of the administration of Mali empire all the Fulani that come to borno, Hausa land etc did so under the patron of Mali. Malian scholars in timbuktu are disproportionally Fulani and tuaregs, it was the songhai empire that persecuted the Fulani that is why most Fulani in Hausaland migrated to Hausa land to escape the persecution of the songhai empire.

that is why timbuktu historians described the songhai as cruel and this is how they described sonni Ali the conqueror of Mali ;

Sunni Ali entered Timbuktu,
committed gross iniquity, burned and
destroyed the town, and brutally
tortured many people there. When
Akilu heard of the coming of Sonni
Ali, he brought a thousand camels to
carry the fuqaha of Sankore and
went with them to Walata..... The
Godless tyrant slaughtered those who
remained in Timbuktu and humiliated them.

Fulani were slaves minority in the Malian empire. If they were majority and administrators why will they create Great Fulo empire to fight against Malian empire?

Don't you think? I have read the history of Fulanis because of one reason I will not tell you.

Bandirao:
Please you claimed that there are many yoruba Muslims at this time right? Name me one single yoruba Islamic scholar at this time if you can, also I never claimed that we inially bought Islam to Yorubas, don't forget that the majority of yoruba Muslims are recent converts from 1960 onwards, Islam in yoruba land in pre jihad is the same as Islam in Ghana kingdoms such as the ashanti a religion of majority foreigners and not the common man at all, and as some one also tells you here the vast majority of this Malians are fulani people Fulani at this time are Malian citizens in fact the first fulas to ever came to Nigerian area are envoys sent to the court of borno by Malian emperor during the time of mai kashim biri (1242 to 1262 Ad).

As regards to ajami I think you have a lot to learn about it, the first people to used ajami in West Africa are people of the tekrur the ancient and first Fulani state in present southern Mauritania and northern Senegal, and the Fulani are the first in West Africa to convert to Islam since 9th century almost the same time as the berbers the Fulani of tekrur and almoravids neighbours the sanhaja berbers attacked and conquered the ancient Ghana empire and went northward to conquer Morocco and half of Spain.
And the difference and influence that I wanted you to know is that under Fulani ruled literacy and knowledge is highly favored the emirates have sokoto representatives called wazirin sokoto monitor and ensure that an emir has fulfilled his obligations of spreading knowledge to his people which is all the sokoto caliphate is for, even in remote villages in the caliphate have a mosque and school attached to it, tax system, court etc the literacy spread rapidly under the Fulani that the british even recognised that 90% of adult population can read and write in ajami.
With out Fulani millions of people will now be either Christians or pagans that is the facts.

Yorubas had large population of Muslims before Fulani jihad. Mr revisionist. Yoruba Muslims generals fought alongside their kins against the Fulani Jihadist.

How did Fulani Jihad influenced the large population of Muslims in Yorubaland? Let us start with that first.

During the Malian empire Mandinka, Mande and Bambara were the principal ethnic people. Are the aforementioned ethic group Fulani?

Don't be confused. We are talking about era before the Malian empire was destroyed and occupied by other ethnic groups which included Fulani. Present day Mali is made up of large proportion of Fulanis.

But during the Malian empire, Fulanis were slaves before great Fula empire overran the weakened territory.

King Gao was the first to convert to Islam in west Africa. Nothing like Fulani. The Kanuris received Islam long before Fulanis dreamt of it. If not, tell me the first Fulani king that first converted to Islam.

Kanuris were among the first to use Ajami script in west Africa followed by Shongai. Were they Fulanis?

You kept repeating the same lies your ancestors told you. That's a fat lie.

If British didn't interfere, Fulani would have been vanished from the map of Nigeria because you don't have access to machine guns, Canon and weapons used by the Yorubas.

Was any Yoruba city conquered by Fulani Jihadists? Mention 1. Don't mention Ilorin because it was never a traditional Yoruba town or city.

I concur with hom but only if other ethnic groups in the North accepts. I will also recommend each ethnic groups in the South teach in their own mother language.

Bandirao:
Yes but Fulani consolidated it before the Fulani jihad lessthan 1% of yoruba are Muslims and most don't even know the religion deeply they are following it customarily but today 50% of them are Muslims, Fulani clerics, teachers, and imams in yoruba land formerly where mostly Fulani.

You are still a bloody liar. Islam was never introduced by Fulani to Yorubaland neither was it consolidated by Fulani bloody liar.

At first, you claimed Fulanis introduced Islam to Yorubas but it was debunked.

Now, you are lying that the population of Muslims were 1% in Yorubaland before the Fulani jihad war. Another fat lie.

The first mosque built in Yorubaland was in 1550 at Oyo ile. Was there Fulani in Yorubaland then or was it built by Fulani? Capital no. It was built by the Malians.

The second mosque was built in 1655 in Iwo land by Yorubas themselves before another were built in Iseyi 1760, Lagos 1774, Saki 1790 etc. Including towns like Ibadan, Ikirun, Ijebu ode, Ede etc. These areas had large populations of Muslims ever before Fulani war.

Did Fulani Jihad enter Lagos? Why do you think Lagosians have quit a large numbers of Muslims? From Fulani? You must be joking.

My great grandfather was already a Muslim before any Jihad and his convertion was not in Lagos/Nigeria neither by any Fulani person.

The large population of Muslims in Lagos is as a result of returnees from Sierra Leone and other countries that has nothingtodo with Fulani. It has nothing to do with Fulani Jihad. Bloody liar.

Did I hear you say they don't know how to practice Islam? That's one of the lies this Jihadist spread to justice their thirst for Monarchy system of government in guises of Islamic reformation.

Do you know since when islam was studied in Yorubaland? Ajami scripts was already in Yorubaland as far back as 14th century. Was it introduced by the Fulanis? No, you bloody liar.

There were Malins and Yoruba Islamic scholars as far back as 15th century teaching Islam in literature.

The scripts written by them are still there for all to see. You pathetic liar.

Show me one Ajani script written in Yoruba language in the 15th century by a Fulani. Bloody liar.

Stop the bloody lies. Fulani never brought Islam to Yorubaland. Yorubas practiced Islam ever since before Dan Fodio's ancestors were born.

It is called esin imale for a reason being that it was brought by Malians traders. Blood liar.

Great. We are moving forward.

What is the difference?

Let's get to hear Tinubu's reaction.

Nice one.

This is not Chinese but French made.

Very good. He prevented catastrophes from happening.

Next is house of representative. Hope Abbas doesn't scatter things.

What is 770 to property worth hundreds of thousands dollars?

How much is a plot of land on that Island? You have an idea?

No

Once the bridge connects Bonny Island from mainland. Bonny Island will develop like Victoria Island.

Makinde no send Oyomesi.

So, one person. Remotely, even, direct to mobile phone, so ghost in the room.

I can just about imagine someone sitting in front of those monitors waiting for the computers to report to them. Guess they can be on Nairaland all day if there's nothing to report.

In fact, the computers can monitor the flow of crude oil without anyone watching, since those watching can't exactly fix a disruption from their monitoring station.


You said they don't need to monitor the computer, right?

So, who will the computer report to if the pipe lines are vandalized or if the cargoes are being diverted?

budaatum:
I know its hard for you to understand how you shouldn't need so many seats for that many people monitoring what one person can monitor.

In fact, the computers can monitor the flow of crude oil without anyone watching, since those watching can't exactly fix a disruption from their monitoring station.

But I guess someone has to get the contract to siphon Nigeria's money into their own pocket.

After the computer monitor, who will the computer report to if the pipelines are being vandalized and need repairs? Ghost?

You no dey think.

🇳🇬🇳🇬 NEWS UPDATE
NFF- Eguavoen To Assist New Super Eagles Coach Eric Chelle

The technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Austine Eguavoen will be available to assist the new coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Eguavoen who is the technical director of the NFF held the position as head of the team in interim capacity all through the qualifiers for the AFCON, where the team made it with two games to spare.

Chelle will now take over as the coach with the upcoming world cup qualifiers games in March his first assignment at the helm. It will be the first game of his short term deal which covers the period of the world cup qualifiers that ends in October.

He will come with two of his assistants with the Nigerian coaches who are presently handling the CHAN team expected to also be a part of the crew. Eguavoen will also be a part of the crew.

” He (Eguavoen) is the technical director and it’s normal for the new coach (Chelle) to work closely with him. It’s more imperative because he handled the team all through the AFCON qualifiers. It’s nothing new”, a chieftain of the NFF revealed.

If Equaveon didn't take that appointment with Ghana, then I can say he is not....that's if it's true.

Nice one

Hoping the project is not dead on arrival, Please how can we benefit from the project ?? Hope Geofocus will give citizens supply
Atleast we should chop.

Chop wetin!!!?

This one don enter EFCC hand.

Goke7:
Really? So foreign coaches can't be corrupt? Have we not heard about foreign coaches splitting their salaries or being involved in transfer deals to accept or keep Eagles' jobs? That is not corruption abi

Well, you can mention one.

However, Chelle has come to stay. Gbam.

Goke7:
We can't continue to make excuses to justify this nonsense just because we must appoint a coach. It's a disservice to our experienced indigenous coaches and if that is the case then let's pick an indigenous coach with a blank record. The idea of going foreign is because you think your indigenous coaches lacks something so why go for a foreign coach with a blank record. That's hypocrisy

No, because of corruption.

Okwyjesus:
Aba - PH section is still ongoing

It was done before it eventually failed.

The contractors did poor job then.

Bleiz:
The road was divided into sections. They haven't finished all of the sections.

I know that area very well. It was done long ago poorly constructed. That's why the portion failed.

We are getting there.
