The Spambot banned me for replying to somebody that greeted me in German.


Here is a video dedicated to one of the old guild of Youtubers (Adunbarin) where you can hear me speak Ilaje Jamani. It's also an old video.

Mama doesn't do Elemure & femi ariyo?

Concerning the hausa stereotype,just wanted to feel the pulse of the thread..

I've seen people who assume they are all grazers living in barren wastelands... They are mighty clannish but they are 100% better than "those" people...

What they don't know, they don't drag or try to share the glory, they also don't "chop" alone, they take life easy as long as it doesn't have to do with their CULTURE & RELIGION.


Mummyejire ... E kaabo ma..

IFELEKE:
Yes it does, faint though, the ilajes have more in common with the itsekiris and of course, they are Yoruba, they migrated from Ile Ife to the coastline of the present day Ondo State-according to oral and written history.
Okun O!

Yes, Fulanis have their own traditional religion too, but a lot of them are muslims. Not all Fulani's are rich. A large number are quite poor and uneducated. Some are nomadic herdsmen, others are quoranic teachers, a few are artisans...they are all different things really.

And no.....almost all Muslim Northerners are NOT Hausas. It is just that Hausa is very widely spoken, even in the Middle Belt and far north, but there are several different tribes in the north. We have Hausa Christians too, especially in Southern Kaduna, Zaria etc.

The Fulanis that are rich, are not that many....but yes, when they are rich, they tend to be filthy rich!

igbo films use english language and gets wider actors and viewers. Olu Jacobs favorite role is Igwe with full Igbo traditional regalia even dropping igbo proverbs. Even desmond elliot said he dropped his yoruba name get favor from igbo producers.
How did these few yorubas which act for igbo producers and marketers become the pppl who really made Nollywood. What happened to Pete Edochie, Patience Ozokwor, Kenneth Okonkwo, Kanayo O kanayo, Nkeru sylvanus, Oge okoye, Jenevieve Nnaji, Bob Manuel, Jim Iyke, the list is just endless bro

A worthy experience to have been part of ogboru Sijuade's spiritual exit procedure as well as the installation of the Giesi Ojaja Ogunwusi.

The Hausa and the Fulani group are a pretty interesting lot. I am not sure if it is still possible to have pure Hausa indigenes, as there has been a lot of acculturation and inter-marriage in the North. There are so many different Northern ethnic groups that speak fluent Hausa (e.g. Kanuri, Sayyawa, Bachama, Fulani etc.) I am not familiar with Yobe or Adamawa. But I have spent some time in Kaduna, Kano, Niger & Kebbi states.

On one hand, you have the rich, well-educated folks who form the bulk of the upper class. Many of them have 2nd and 3rd degrees from Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Egyptian and Middle East universities. You would be amazed to see their hijab-wearing women have had the best kind of education from the poshest schools around. Religion is a strong factor, and even though there are a few Fulani Christians, most Fulbe believe that being a true Fulani goes hand in hand, with being a devoted Muslim.
Many of them speak fluent Hausa....come to think of it, I have never met a Fulani person who could not speak Hausa, even though I have met a number of Fulani that cannot speak their indigenous language.

Respect for authority is entrenched, and the monarchy in various communities, are revered. The wealthy families live in opulence, but there is also a large educated middle-class, who are fairly comfortable and content with their earnings.

At the other end of the spectrum, are the really poor uneducated citizens who live from hand-to-mouth, on a daily basis. They have benefactors, and so they gather each day in front of the houses of their benefactors in order to receive a daily stipend, or a daily handout for a meal. They are the ones that can easily be used as tools by the rich. Due to their lack of education, they can easily be brainwashed.
Among these lot, you will find the almajiris. Again, religion plays a decisive role among this lot. There are also animists that practise the traditional religions, but I have only met just a few. The politicians and extremist preachers often find ready tools, among these poor lots.

What am I saying?? You have Hausa, Fulani, kanuri etc artisans and professionals, just like you have down south. They are just as widely diverse as the southerners when it comes to their daily lives. Ah, I am not sure I am making a lot of sense here, because some of these things are just so hard to describe.

And yes....a lot of them are hooked to their radio, and also TV sets. They love Kannywood just as much as they enjoy watching Nollywood movies. Ask their women!

Superstar abeg tell 'em ... Even if abok1 be church rat, he must get transistor radio ..

Southerners often wonder how they manage to congregate & ready for war, it is cos they have foreknowledge of what is buzzing in the polity...

Seems you talked abot Yobe sometime ago, Potiskum or Damaturu? Rest of Yobe is



Ilekehd , aareonakakanfo, ramdeuter , katsumoto , mayoroflagos , onreflection , iyaiode , et al, are you gentlemen & ladies familiar with any hausa/ fulani person, beyond the stereotype / rhetorics ...

Zimoni , I nor go ask you, you & the sabo crew already don share boundary.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You are right.


Bunch of fake people. You will see them, they will be very yellow like overripe pawpaw and their parents will be as black as charcoal.

That always make me laugh.

Genevieve is the symbol of female actresses in nollywood. This is not even a contest. Then you can mention Mercy Johnson before considering omotola

Genevieve Nnaji is the face of Nollywood. Omotola is a B-list actress. Mercy Johnson carved a niche playing igbo roles in nollywood

Why are you posting Jose Dos Santo for me? Because he's wearing seashells and Candomble clothing?

I've already posted a list in a reply I gave you.

Who cares. You know what Kedu, Biko, and Igwe means right? Mission accomplished. High five, Igbo power!

FreeGlobe:
If Nollywood is 98% igbo dominated could it still be said to belong to the whole country? When you watch nollywood film, what culture is being projected?
