Hausa sold yoloba cowards slaves

OPCNAIRALAND:
Lmao!!
I wonder why they will not bring the accounts from those who visited Hausa states and Yoruba states....people like Livingstone, Landers?
If any reference is worth narrating its that of these two who went everywhere and saw everything. Comparing.Hausa and Yoruba on basis of Africanus visit to Hausaland would belike sharing the impression of Beecroft in the coastal lands. It would be one sided.
These illiterates have no appreciation for true comparatives.... OYO is superior to any Fulani state.
In fact thr two, Fulani and Hausa are separate but individually or combined, Oyo is their father...anyday!

idiot in which way Yoruba states are superior fetishes or what..tell me one area is it commerce knowledge or what.. Katrina was a city of learning that nonyoruba city can match... why kano has been dominating the Saharan trade rivaling cities such as Timbuktu and GAO... fool in didn't danfodio sacked oyo Il the capital of oyo and captured ilorin.. stupid coward slave

Fool sokoto caliphate was successor to Hausa city states... Idiot Hausa had been trading with Europeans since time immemorial through trans Saharan trade hope you know of that? Lol tell me one independent explorer that testify to greatness of oyo... Tell me one Yoruba city empire that can match Kano in commerce or katsina in knowledge

macof:
Are you really this dumb or just being insincere?
You opened a thread to talk about sokoto which only lasted for 100 years and was not the most important state of west africa (except for 10 years after the collapse of Borno and Oyo)
After being shamed you switch to hausa city states?
OK boy! Yorubaland was also structured into city states. .
And it's on record that Yorubaland was the most urbanized area of subsaharan africa with its many impressive city-states.
Ijebu being the first to trade with the Europeans in this part of africa, Fire arms manufacturers developed in Ijebu.
The glorious art works of Ife and Owo city-states
The Naval force of Iwere (itsekiri) employed by the Benin Empire

But there is something called Hausa city states and Kanem Borno.. Who were all more important than oyo in terms of education administration trade and pretty much all category

When Oyo started using cavalry there was nothing called Northern Nigeria. Do you agree?
Oyo did not learn cavalry from Northern Nigeria.
Sokoto Caliphate was not an Imperial power in the Sudan. Oyo was an Imperial power that defeated states all the way up to Songhai.... Oyo was feared even by dan Fodio, otherwise why did he stop his conquest in Nupeland, what stopped him from entering Yorubaland with his Jihad campaign?
In the case of Ilorin, fulani could not have defeated Oyo Ile if Yorubas acting on Afonja's leadership had not fought with them. When the Yorubas saw what became of Afonja they crossed camp and fought alongside their Oyo counterparts to route fulani completely out and back across river...drowning many of them and their horses in the process.
Ilorin had no Oba, it was a vacuum. Ilorin was a scholarship center and a satellite town where foreigners were camped. Yoruba therefore did not secure it as a political location. This is why it ended having an Emir.
To buttress my point. Jebba, which is further North of Ilorin had an Oba, that throne continues even as we speak.
It was not bravery of Fulani that sacked Oyo or put your Emir in Ilorin...but rather the carelessness of Afonj and subsequntly the neglect of Ilorin by Yoruba.
If you wete brave and more powerful than Oyo you would also, in addition to, taking jihad to everyone South of Sokoto would not stop when you got to Yorubaland. After the Afonja rebellion if you were not scared of Oyo, after putting a leader in Ilorin you would, just as you did toppling every Hausa State, have toppled every Oba around Ilorin and North of Ilorin to Jebba.
On the issue of slavery. You did not raid our towns for slaves. Yoruba did not sell Yoruba into slavery until intertribal wars between us that led to selling away prisoners of war. Our slaves in America were military men that fought wars. Their sense of leadership and patriotism was very acute....this background contributed to successful uprisings and revolts led by Yorubas in latin America. It also explains why Yoruba was the dominant and surviving culture, amongst all other cultures exported from West Africa most of which are in far greater quantity.
Up until the time of the wars within, and there were many of them, Yorubas sold people of other nationality.
Meanwhile, there are plenty accounts of Fulani, Hausa slaves sold byYorubas to the white man. Even Muhammad Bello became worried and sought help from Livingstone to appease Oyo to please stop selling his people.
If you want to project fulani superiority over other races please go ahead and have fun....but know that Oyo was far more Imperial and formidable than Sokoto Caliphate.

Compare that to Kano and Borno... Kano and other Hausa city states that were predecessors of sokoto caliphate were around as early as 8th century while Borno was even much earlier... Kano and Timbuktu were great center of trade what was oyo jungle known for.. Don't even delve to the area of indigo dying because that one is clear as daylight... It was Hausa merchant that introduced indigo dye to Yoruba Tuareg kanuri Fulani Bambara songhay etc... In the history of west Africa oyo was never a major power... Don't tell me that lie that oyo conquered songhay empire because it was moroccons and the great Hausa warrior Kontal kanta who was the ruler of the western part of songhay empire that coinciding with some parts of hausaland help in the decline of the songhay empire

Before oyo there was existence of independent Hausa states who are more advanced economically militarily than oyo individually as many adventurers and explorers attest to... Have you read Leo Africans. Testimony of his visit to Hausa empire songhay and Borno in the 14th century... I repeat there is never a time in history that oyo is more progressive than Hausa city states.. Economically Hausa city is the southern terminal of trans Saharan trade... Militarily you heard of queen Amina of zazzau expeditions.. The Hausa city states had been using cavalry even before the creation of oyo which terrain doesn't support large cavalry because of tsetse fly infection... Hausa developed system of writing before oyo Hausa introduced indigo in the western Sudan even exporting to Timbuktu... Do you know Kano was the first sultanate to have constitution in the early 14th century written by a the great North African scholar almaghili... Why is it there is no any verifiable contact between oyo and all major empire in west Africa... They is no visit of adventures like Leo Africans visit to Hausa city states songhay and Borno up to now Nubia which testifies to greatness of those places.... Tell me one major adventurer that visit the king of oyo jungle and wrote a book just like Leo Africans wrote about Hausa city states and Timbuktu

. This idiot hope you read the battles of Kano with Borno empire? And Kano battles with songhay empire... At the term Europeans came to Nigeria Kano was the largest and most economically important state.. Do you know that sokoto caliphate transcends almost. 5 states.. Cameroon Nigeria Niger Benin etc the reason why sokoto caliphate didn't reach I yo is because of tsetsefly infection if sokoto that conquer states as far as ilorin is not imperial then you think oyo is

For saying the truth

hopelink1:
You should be banned

Another lie which he spew was oyo state was southern terminus of trans saharan trade.. the only cities in nigeria that participated actively in trans saharan trade where kano,katsina,zaria and borno

Today i was reading oyo empire the yoruba guy tried to denounce any northern influence including the introduction horses as cavalry.. he made a big lie vy saying oyo was the most political important state in west africa in 17 to18 century..which is a lie. .. the sokoto caliphate was the most important... Another lie which he says hausa kanuri and nupe slaves were soldiers in oyo which is a lie.. where did you get hausa slaves you local champions.. if anything is the other way round.. yoruba slaves are all over sokoto caliphate,cuba,brazil, etc.. yoruba are the most enslaved people in the world

How do the emir maintain all this entourage.. is it true the goovernment give 5 percent of local government funds to emirs If so it means kano emirate with 44 local government is the richest traditional authority in nigeria

Some pictures of the royal slaves.. although now adays they are not castrated

This are just slaves titles talkless of the free born

No wonder british initiate indirectly rule in this part of the country.. the place was so organized

But the most important aspect which i find cruel is that since 13th century this royal slaves are castrated to secure their full loyalty to the emir.. since they have no family whatsever to fend for

I was so amazed when reading the history of the royal court in kano.. to find out that since more than 800years the hausa royal court is so organize in terms of administration.. am particularly fascinated about the royal court slsves their positions and functions
The most important royal slaves in kano are
SALLAMA: who is a kind of protocol officer to the king
DANRIMI: who is in charge of armour.. he is the head of all royal slaves
SHAMAKI: horses are important to hausa as means of prestige and to aid in warfare..he is the head of the royal court stable
SARKIN DOGARAI:the kings cheif security officer
FIGINI: office was introduce by king rumfa in the 14th century.. he is in charge of fanning the king
SARKIN ALGAITA: incharge of royal trumpet
ZAGAGE: zagage were royal slaves introduce by king abdullahi burja in13th century due to constant warfare he needs spare horses incase orders were weak.. main f function is to hold emirs spare horses
MASU KIRARI: the praise singers or griots are central to hausa culture.. main function is to chant emirs praise... May you live long, king of kings etc...

Please fulaman do you know the meaning of the word ganguwa or gangua? In peul

So the reason for dangotes success is one powerless pastor... if I may ask u who is behind the success of his grandfather, uncles etc

Disquiet Over Aminu Dantata’s N440m Gift To Kano LGs

Abubakar Ado 1 week ago 4089

There is a growing apprehension across the 44 Local Government Areas of Kano state since the donation of N10million each, by a multi-billionaire and philanthropist, Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata to renovate some dilapidated primary schools and mosques

The philanthropist had last October splashed the sum of N10million gift to each of the local governments as his personal assistance for them to undertake major renovations of a number of primary schools and mosques in their respective domain.

However, since the receipts of the cheques of this amount, the chairmen of the local governments have been playing hide and seek games with their respective councilors over their share of the ‘bounty’.

While some chairmen have decided to keep their councilors in the dark about the money since it is not from ‘the normal source’, some have swung into action by constituting a committee to oversee the judicious utilization of the donation.

The chairman of Kibiya Local Government, Alhaji Yusif Shehu Kibiya, has drawn the honest nest by setting-up of a strong committee that included the Chief Imam to identify priority areas for prompt action, as according to him, the funds were purposely meant for that.

This action did not go down with leadership of Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) in the state who accuse him of playing to the gallery and acting in contravention to the ‘agreed terms’ in the application of the funds.

He was also accused of disclosing the actual amount to his ‘people’, a situation that was agreed to be kept secret.

Executive Director of Dangote Foundation, Hajiya Halima Dangote, has revealed that the ongoing construction of a multi-billion naira state-of-the-art operating theatre and diagnostic centre at the Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital in Kano is due for completion next year.

Hajiya Dangote made this revelation when her team visited the Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje at the weekend.

She said the operating theatre and diagnostic centre will cost the Foundation N7 billion.

She attributed the earlier delay in completion to technical hitches and said the new contractor – Dantata and Sawoe have returned to the site.

She also said that the routine immunisation programme of the Foundation is being extended to Bauchi, Yobe, Maiduguri and Katsina.

She added that the Foundation’s Business School project at the Bayero University Kano has gulped N524 million, even as it injected N500 million into Kano School of Technology.

Hajiya Dangote also revealed that the Foundation is determined to build a 500MW electricity station in Kano.

She described some of the projects as “game-changing projects” to be completed in the next two years.

Responding, Ganduje said the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has done a lot to Kano people, and they will remain grateful forever.

He specifically mentioned the contribution of the Foundation to the fight against polio disease, adding that it was indeed a massive intervention.

He said with the help of the Dangote Foundation, the state would soon be given the Polio Free Certificate.

“We are ready to do anything to support your effort,” the governor said.

He further described Dangote’s intervention at the Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital as massive, saying the hospital is one of the oldest in West Africa.

The Foundation has also completed the construction of seven out of the eleven primary health care centres it is building in the state.

At the handover ceremony of one of the health care centres at Gwale Local Council, Halima Dangote said the construction of 11 health centres in the state will cost the Foundation N72 million.

Speaking at the ceremony, she said her father, Aliko Dangote, would prefer that most of his interventions are not mentioned in public for Allah’s sake.

She, however, said the Foundation that she heads will continue to assist the poor and support government’s efforts around the world.

Also speaking, Executive Director, Stakeholders Relations and Corporate Communications, Mansur Ahmed, said the new health care centre will help the people in the community overcome most of their basic health challenges.

Who can explain the main motives behind the marriage of auwa to the hausa king of kano. .. is it because of the fear of rising songhai empire under askiya the great? To create some form of alliance or what?

Has anyone read about leo africanus book the description of africa to shed more light about his visit to timbuktu, kano, katsina,borno, nubia, zamfara and gobir.. and how he describes each place

Real2020:
Name me 3 big cities in Kano, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Kaduna? You can only name one, maybe 2 at most in these states. But in Anambra you can name 4 or 5 cities that are well developed. That is the focus of this thread and my post.

why not start with telling us how many cities are developed in abuja since you give abuja as yardstick

alaskido:
Why is the design like a Mosque? Cant they build a normal hospital building. Don't they see General Hospitals in movies in the US and UK? Why do they want to confuse non muslims. I may think it is a mosque and drive past while still looking for the hospital.

how does it resemble mosque? Did you see any dome? This what we call tubali hausa architecture in modern building.. it is a type of sudano sahelian architecture

This is northern nigeria tubali architecture in modern building

Northwest 5 senior ministers... water resources, interior, defence, justice, and finally petroleum ministry which is headed by buhari

Yes I read some books in which they are denying his visit to some areas especially hausaland and borno.. and also others even went as far as saying he didn't even cross the sahara totally
