You find this news exciting , it gives you hopes right?
grin Hausa raise alarm after sighting a truck filled with fulani what do this even supposed to mean? smiley

The media is just dumb and deceitful. A group of northers sees a truck of fulani and report. And some idiotic news media just concluded decide the ethnicity of the group as hausa. Northerners never will never reside in anybodies land and form a tribal group or community. We only for sometime form different types of business group but as people, The Hausa,The fulani , Kanuri , zarma whatever the tribe we will just reside together and will form no tribal group. Any core northner that hear this news well laugh and let it passed and wont even border explaining to you fools like im doing.

Just to makes some certain part of the country feel hopeful due they for decade virtualize and fantasized hausa and fulani fighting, quarreling. The media is creating stupid news with funny headings.

Like grin Few months a came acrossed stupid funny news that says their is hausa fulani clash and i thought at back of my mind why is the heading incomplete, with whom hausa fulani are having clash grin going through the detail of the news cheesy i find out the war is actually between Hausa and Fulani and it occure right in sokoto (of all places in the world) ...... In sokoto the chance of hausa having tribal comflicts with fulani is zero cheesy of all arewa their is no state where these two tribes are heavily mixed than in sokoto, hence their is just no place for tribal comflict in sokoto because nobody will kill their family member all in the name of tribal comflict which he might not even knows what started it.

You igbos can continue with fantasizing Hausa and Fulani having misunderstooding, rivalry or comflict for i observed having that kind of fantasy alone brings your happiness and hope. But you hypocrite self knows deep down the day it wish for will never come.

Im hausa and let me comfirm this to you , individual fight occures but tribal fight between hausa with fulani or kanuri is something that we wont even imagine. Some of you are saying hausa are peaceful people and fulani are the bad ones , you like hausa but dont like fulani we dont care but just know, hate againts fulani is hate againts hausa. We hausa will never love you for disliking fulani and loving us because that impossible. Evey fulani hater we declear him Hausa number enemy.

You look igbo and you could be from any tribe from Southern Nigeria due they probably make 40% of africans taken out west africa.


Judging by your look, You look Fulani because you got their typical hair , but you could still be from any northern minority tribes, because you can find people that are not fulani but still posses the curlly hair feature that is dominant to fulani. Dont get me wrong their are fulani with kinky hair but just not the kinkiest and even if

I doubt if you are hausa, reason is only little percentage of hausa people were taking out of africa for slavery for hausa are sahel and sahara dwellers unlike Igbos, Yoruba whom dwell at slavery coast. But if your DNA said you are hausa then probably you are but a rear case even your cheesy slanty eyes and hairy eye brown are that of Hausa. smiley

if your DNA result does not specified your ethnicity and only point Nigeria then their is very little chance you are hausa.

I'm quoting you but my response is not for a hateful person like you, it's so you don't deceived foreigners on this forum. First not all emirs in the north are fulani like you said, I'm from Kebbi state and we have four emirates and only one emirate leader is fulani (the Gwandu emirate).... Bauchi emirate king is also not a fulani, heck even if the whole northern emirates are fulani it's doesn't the fact they are hausanized. Even the sultans aren't poor fulani.

What's your tribe, if i may ask and why do you think you are greater or any better than Hausa?

Do you premative knows the big difference between Your tribe and the Great Hausa?

Do you know why you are so daft and think so premative?

it because you inherited premative behaviors from your ancestors. Your tribe never had a civilation, your tribe hadn't steped out of their jungle sense their creation not until when the Hausa, European came and took you out as slaves. Your ancestors roam around the bushes, Naked , Competiting for food and shelter with animals just so they could live. You are so premative that the
only form of leadership you ever know don't exceeded parential leadership.

Hausa are the greatest merchant in West Africa, the must influential people, the largest ethnic group and the most influential, Millions have adopt our way of life, Hausawa and hausa language had unite African tribes more than any people group and their language. We are explorers, trespass many African countries, We are schoolars Islamic missionaries.

It's very unexpected of a premative person from minority tribe like yours with worst, ugliest history to shamelessly diss Hausa. Hausa are greater than you could ever be and you know why? smiley It's because we built states, kingdoms , empire, we became far less protective of our nation's, accomodates hundreds of Africans from different race and ethnitical background, even premative tribe like yours.

You prematives called hausa slaves because some of our emirs happen to be Fulani and every leaders that ever came out from North, You come out with story of how he's not Hausa , even if was one of his parents that's none hausa, you don't care you dismiss his hausa origin. All the past head of states you dug out their origin had never look at themselves as less hausa because neither had we perceived as such. Despite we really know their origin, even if we don't but later realized they are notdethrone hausa, it won't make any difference as long as they are from Arewa and they speaks hausa. because we are know very well that nobody will refuse to be associated with our ethnicity as long as he grow up speaking our language.

Fulani were not the first to rule over us, before them their are Kanuri, Songhai tribes like arawa - zabarmawa, The azbinawa (Taureg people) , but fulani are dear to us because it's only them we willingly made leaders amongs us. They don't have the power to inslave hausa, they don't have the population, an empire or kingdom to ask help from. Fulani are part of our society and like the above tribes i mention we Hausa knows where they came from. Their being many war fought between hausa states with fulani as part of armies even before the jahad movement of Dan FodiO, even during the jahad movement lots of fulani has fought against Dan FodiO and his army which more 70% of them are none Fulani.

You should continue to call hausa fulani slave , your own problem.


Every Great civilation in history , great kindoms and empires are ethnitically diverse. Greek , the Mongol empire, Roman Empire, Persian, Bablonian, Ancient Egyptian civilation, the malian empire , the Songhai empire. The sokoto caliphate they were only greater because they were rule by different race and tribes.

You can't claim to love Hausa and detest Fulani.... A hatrate against Fulani is hatrate against Hausa... and who ever said he hates hausa-fulani, Islam is what he hates and nothing.

We will not allowed you to stay in our land after Divittion, you will lost your business, properties and if you dare to stay, I'm afraid Igbo will face something worse than xenophobia.

How Yoruba Muslims Sacked Old Oyo And Will Do Same For All Odua

Ilorin was a small town in the Oyo Empire by the beginning of the 19th century. Afonja, Baale of Ilorin, who also held the title of Are Ona Kakanfo of the Oyo Empire, rebelled against his king, the Alafin of Oyo, in 1817. (There is no space here for the reasons for his rebellion). In order to sustain his rebellion, he was desperate to build a large and powerful army. To that end, he did a number of desperate things.

First, he invited the people of nearby villages to move to Ilorin and turn Ilorin into a large town. Many people so moved, but most refused.

Secondly, he reached out to many prominent friends all over the Oyo country, and invited them to come and live in Ilorin. Some accepted his invitation and came. Among these was a rich trader named Solagberu from Kuwo. Another was a man named Alimi, a Fulani man who had long lived in the Oyo country peddling charms from town to town. Afonja employed Alimi to make charms for him and his army.

Thirdly, Afonja decided to exploit a religious situation that was causing trouble in the country at the time. A Jihad movement had started in Hausaland in the north in 1804, generating wars and stormy Islamic evangelism there. It was started and led by an immigrant people called Fulani. The Fulani immigrants were few among the large Hausa nation, but very many of the Hausa who were already Muslims sided with the Fulani – and thus made it possible for the Fulani to defeat the ancient Hausa kings and make themselves rulers over Hausaland.

Some of the violent Jihadist preachers trickled south into the Oyo country. Everywhere they came, they were causing a lot of commotion by preaching violent and disrespectful sermons against the Oyo kings and chiefs, and against Yoruba culture in general. Yoruba people, with their tradition of religious tolerance, were alarmed; and angry crowds began to attack the preachers. Afonja decided to exploit the situation by issuing a general invitation to the Muslims to flee to him in Ilorin, promising to give them protection there. Thousands of frightened Muslims fled to Ilorin, and Afonja trained many of them for his army. (Afonja himself did not intend to convert to Islam, and he never did).

Fourthly, most rich Oyo families had Hausa, Nupe and Fulani slaves - used mostly in farming, trading, livestock rearing, etc. Most were Muslims.

Afonja decided to exploit this also. He issued a proclamation saying that if any slaves ran away from their owners and came to him in Ilorin, he would give them freedom and protection there. Large numbers of slaves, mostly Hausa, fled to Afonja, and he trained some of them for his army.

Afonja thus had his large town and large army. Most of his army’s commanders and soldiers were Oyo Muslims. A few of the soldiers were Muslim Hausa – all slaves recently set free by Afonja. But many of his Hausa soldiers were unruly. He warned or threatened them repeatedly, but with no result. When he at last decided to discipline them, they mutinied. Afonja was killed in the mutiny - in 1823.

Meanwhile, while Alimi had been making charms for the army, he had become a friend to many of the Oyo commanders who were Muslims, and these hadmade him Imam (Islamic teacher and preacher) for the Muslim community in the army. After Afonja›s death, the same friends gradually made their Imam the ruler of Ilorin. They also created some officers among the Hausa soldiers - for instance, Balogun Gambari. The powerful men doing all these things were Oyo.

That then is how Oyo people made a Fulani man the ruler of Ilorin. When Alimi died, his elder son, Abdulsalam, was elevated to his father’s position by his father›s powerful Oyo Muslim friends. Adulsalam had lived in the Jihad in Hausaland and had only recently come to live with his father in Ilorin. He knew that the Jihad had made the Fulani the rulers of Ilorin - with a Fulani Sultanate based in Sokoto and quasi-independent Fulani Emirs in the separate Hausa kingdoms. So, after he was made ruler of Ilorin, he sent to Hausaland to announce that he had established an Emirate in Ilorin and to ask that his Emirate should be accepted as part of the Fulani Sultanate.

In this way, Ilorin became a Fulani Emirate, ruled by a Fulani family.

Ilorin was, in population, still an Oyo town - probably over 95% Oyo in population. And Ilorin was never conquered or even invaded by any Fulani army. Those influential Oyo men who made Alimi and his son the rulers of Ilorin did so out of fervour for their Islamic faith.

When the news of the happenings in Ilorin spread all over the Oyo country, people were shocked to hear that Ilorin people had made the family of an obscure Fulani charm peddler their rulers. Therefore, people formed armies to go and subdue Ilorin and flush out the Fulani impostors. None of these invasions of Ilorin succeeded. The invading armies were poorly organized, and, moreover, the old Afonja army defending Ilorin was just too powerful. In fact, in the end, the Ilorin people, in order to ensure perfect protection for their fervently Muslim town, decided to go out and conquer most of Yorubaland (all the way to the sea coast), and make all of it a Muslim empire ruled from Ilorin.

Their army marched out in about 1838, conquering town after town towards the south, and causing mammoth streams of refugees. Till today, most Yoruba people still call this Ilorin invasion a Fulani invasion of Yorubaland. But it was not a Fulani invasion at all; it was an attempt by the predominantly Yoruba Muslim people of Ilorin to conquer and Islamize the rest of Yorubaland.

The victorious Ilorin march southwards ended suddenly in 1840. The refugees who had gathered in the Egba village of Ibadan had quickly become a large town. Their army marched out and met the Ilorin army in Oshogbo in 1840, and totally destroyed them, capturing many of their commanders. From then on, the power of Ilorin was more or less over, and Ilorin never dared again to face the Ibadan army in battle.

In the following years, Ibadan became the most powerful state in Yorubaland, and established control over the Oshun valley, Ife, Ijesa, Ekiti, Akoko, Igbomina and parts of Iyagba. Ilorin continued to be ambitious to control some territory in its immediate neighbourhood – in nearby Igbomina and Ibolo (especially Offa); but they feared Ibadan. In 1877, the Ekiti, Ijesa, Igbomina and Akoko revolted against Ibadan’s rule, and the Kiriji War started, keeping all these peoples and Ibadan busy until 1893. Ilorin took advantage of this and established some feeble control over parts of Igbomina and Ibolo.

However, at home in Ilorin itself, a proper Emirate could not develop. The powerful Yoruba war chiefs wanted to re-establish the traditional Yoruba political system whereby the chiefs in a kingdom select their king. The Emirs resisted. By 1895, the chiefs were winning the contest grandly – a situation which forced the Emir Momoh to commit suicide after setting his palace on fire. The victorious chiefs then installed Sulaiman as Emir. This was the situation when the forces of the British Royal Niger Company came and conquered Ilorin in 1897.

In the years that followed, it was the British that established Ilorin as a full-fledged emirate, making the Ilorin Emir like the Emirs of Hausaland. The Emir then took advantage of that to establish all sorts of Emirate-type control over Ibolo and northern Igbomina.

In short, Ilorin was never conquered (was never even invaded) by the Fulani. Ilorin is more than 90% Yoruba in population. The Igbomina, Ibolo, and Ekiti of Kwara, because they have hated the imposture of the Ilorin Emirs since the beginning of British rule, tend to be usually cool towards Ilorin. Rather it was the treasonable ambition of Afonja and the Yoruba Muslim converts who handed Ilorin to the Fulanis.

Today, the same group are at the forefront fighting to ensure that all Yoruba land falls to Sokoto.
