Beautiful contributions. Well done guys.

Unfortunately what some of us don't realise is that even if 2000 names are provided they would never be acknowledged as satisfactory by the OP and his brood of trolls because the real motive on this thread is not to learn about our international achievers, but simply to reinforce the false narrative that northerners are underachievers who are unmeritoriously ruling the country the most (the predominant thinking in the East where unsurprisingly the OP and all his trolls hail from) so that they can whip up anti-north sentiments in the south. The author of the thread admitted this in black and white and that is exactly why they'd keep condemning and rejecting your beautiful submissions so they can keep saying the North cannot produce up to 20 achievers of repute. Inferiority complex at its finest.

But does this erase the achievements or their mark in history? Does this stop Aliko from being the most successful businessman out of Africa ever? Does this nullify Jelani Aliyu's patent certificate? Does this change the reality of the North's political, military and diplomatic superiority and prowess? The answers are NO.

In my humble opinion we can continue with the beautiful submissions to enhance our collective knowledge, but its best the trolls and their criticisms are ignored . God bless Arewa.

I realize that too... I think the best thing is to let this hate filled and bigot of an op to continue to wallow in his ignorance and hate... after all silence is the best answer to a pained fool

THE HAUSA FULANI ARE UNDER INDIRECT RULE BECAUSE THEY ACCEPT TO DO THE BIDDING OF THERE COLONIA SLAVE MASTERS

Sorry but that's simply not true ..。。。。。
Pls make more research b4 posting.....
There's a reason why the vast majority of slave taken from Nigeria are from the south no offence....

Lifestone:

A very poor knowledge of History. When was Benin Kingdom, the Oyo Empire was an era of 1600 to 1836 ! with a very strong system of government that gave room for check and balances instead of the feudalism as it is practice in the north.

Granted oyo and the Benin empire are old, although not as old and as big as the mentioned hausa\fulani empire ....
But my guy don't talk about government structure....
And fyi when the colonialist came virtually all southern states where under direct rule whereas the Hausa kingdoms where under indirect rule . This is because the fulani kingdoms have the equivalent of virtually all modern government positions and hence the imdirect rule...

lastmessenger:
And fast forward 2018 where are the sandals and Arab schools you claim to have ahead of others. And how has your Arab school helped the ordinary man and woman of the Fulani and Hausa extract. Why are you all still insisting in wondering up and down with cows when the majority now keep the cows in a ranch.with your education how come bokoharam is revaging the whole of the Northeast? What is really wrong with the Fulani people that made the majority of the poor people of Nigeria to come from that part of the country?


I keep telling people that, the Fulani emirate is a fraudulent system designed only to benefit the few elites ones. You encourage your poor ones to marry four wives and sleep with destitute women in the street only with one thing in mind ie to bear more destitute children and use them as a Willing tool to gain political positions. While the elites enjoy the best things of life,sending their children to school abroad to learn and come back to take over political position, the almajaris are in the street beggng for alms and breeding more children killing for any slightest provocation and the circle continues.The Fulani political class are the most evil set of people on earth. The south will get free of these savages one day. Sooner or later it will happen.

Why can't nairanlanders stick to the topic at hand ..... the op was clearly trying very hard to distort history and people are simply refuting obvious lies .... if you want to talk about development in 2018 open another thread and we will gladly contribute...
