Well technically. Fulanis are not hausas. LOL

But the question should be who completed the evolution of the Hausa into Islam?

The Fulani complete the evolution of the Hausa into Islam through the Jihad of Usman dan Fadio, it will be rich of you to insist that there could be Fulani Christians but no Hausa Christians.

To also set the record straight, the majority of Hausa land only have nominal Muslim as sarki (chief), the majority of the population are animist before the sharia of the 18th century. The Hausa state became pure Islamic caliphate only 200years ago, there is no way that Kano will be an Islamic state as far back as the 14th century.

thatigboman:
which part of yoruba do muslims dominate? Name the towns

Every other Yoruba state apart from Ekiti and Ondo state

thatigboman:
South East and South-South Nigeria are 100% Christain regions. Benue-Plateau are Christain states. Southern Kaduna, Bauchi, Gombe, Borno and Adamawa, Sokoto, Kebbi and Niger are Christain regions. Christain minorities dominate other northern regions.
Yorubaland is 70%, Christain.
Add the religion question to census make your eyes clear.

Yorubaland is not 70% Christian. There are more Muslim in Yoruba land

TooMuchStuff:
Don't know what you problem is but whatever....
My Rev gentleman while in ABU Zaria was a pure Hausa from Kano ...Rev.Prof Richard.

Wusasa area of Zaria is hausa Christian community. Zuru people have sizable Christian hausas.
Oppressing non Muslims is the style of Fulanis whenever power slips into their hands.
Buhari is changing every organ of Federal government with Hausafulani Muslims headship even though Muslims are minority in Nigeria

Zuru people are not Hausa though

Goalnaldo:
Hausa Christians are so nice. I used to have a friend here in ibusa by name Hannah. I think she's from Katsina or Nasarawa. Very nice girl. I still regret not asking her out. They relocated to Warri few years ago.

Nassarawa state is not a Hausa state though, there are hundreds of ethnic group in nassarawa and any Hausa or Kanuri you see there is not indigenous to the state, they are all settler.

lexy2014:
D dude said provide evidence that they are hausa

I have interacted and met a few.

Splendor27:
I am a Yoruba nigga but i can boast that Hausa Christian are the best people I have ever seeing in Nigeria.....if u don't believe me try and make one as friend....u will never regret it...[b][/b]

There is no such thing as one Hausa Christian are the best people, people are people and Africans should to dividing themselves over a meaningless thing like what religion some group of people decide to follow.

There are bad people and good people irrespective of their religion

VaughnSangrey:
Maguzawas technically aren't even Hausa. They're one of the original blocks of people that evolved into Hausa people today but part of the Hausa evolution and identity was accepting the religion hence why they're called Maguzawa.

Yes, I know by extension if we extend the argument we can also say, majority of Zamfara people are not originally Hausas but today they are all Hausas.

VaughnSangrey:
It's not extremism. Just facts. Can't have our people's reputation being slandered.

Provide proof they are Hausa or scram. If you can't I'll stick by what I know.

There are pure Hausa animist and Christian but their number is very small.

Omoslim26:
oga here in lagos i have guys that Hausa from south Kaduna nd they are Christians
e be lyk se na Audio Brain you get

sha no carry your mum yoruba vs igbo matter enter 2020 for this forum

Southern Kaduna people are not Hausa, in fact, Hausas are a minority originally in Kaduna since Zaria is originally a Gwari town.

You people need to understand the demography of the North. Hausa is just a lingua franca of the North owing to the diverse nature of the region.

The only region with pure Hausa majority is the North west and in States like Kebbi, Kaduna Zamfara there are sizeable ethnic minorities.

Omoodua007:
Why did you create this thread
The same people yelling we warned you still want to partner with a Fulani so I don’t get

Infact they are praying Tinubu loses or doesn’t enjoy the fruits or his labour

They are happy to settle for VP

In 2023 it’s going to be a Yoruba man vs a Fulani man as the Igbo man lacks the confidence diplomacy to contest

They enjoy playing hyena and spoilers in politics
So there are two possible scenarios
Awolowo vs Shagari
Abiola vs Tofa

The thread is necessary to set the record straight. The Igbo are born hater, they will hate you when your political views go against their supposed interest.

Jonathan was a clueless president, that surround himself with criminal yet Igbos were praise singing him and are still lamenting over his loss but that must say the truth, Buhari has been a disaster, at this point he is a worse president than Jonathan. He is an ethnic and religious bigot that lacks all the know how to rule a country.

Nigeria is currently in a worse state than how Jonathan left it

Mraphel:
We igbo will make sure Yorubas doesn't win in 2023..another Fulani man will cum

You Igbos are irrelevant in the larger scheme of things. You Igbos can antagonized the Yoruba for all you want but Nigeria will not survived another Hausa-Fulani president.

Kubernetes:
lol....so of the entire 2.5 billion Muslims in the world.
This,na the first one u don see.
U try.

Actually the World Muslim population is about 1.8 Billion out of which about 300 million are Shia

Nowenuse:
Good to see you listing the modern parts of Ibadan, like I said earlier, I know they exist, but my question is what is the percentage of the modern parts in respect to the old parts?

I used to think the old part of Ibadan was in the minority not until I used Google maps to view the entire city and I discovered that the old Ibadan of rusty roofs and houses is the overwhelming majority of the city.
So for God's sake, how do you expect us not to judge Ibadan with the old city? When the old city is in the majority?
Kano as an ancient pre-colonial city also has a very large old city too but it is a minority or something like a 50\50 with the modern parts because Hausa people renovate their houses.

And it's not just Ibadan alone, when one goes to Oshogbo, Abeokuta, Ogbomosho, Ife, Iwo, Ikinrun, it's almost the same thing. Although the modern parts of Abeokuta is larger or the same size with the old parts in my opinion. So, it's a phenomenon all over Yoruba land.
In my view, Yoruba states are experiencing a serious brain drain as all the best minds, middle class, intelligent, young and savvy people go to live in Lagos and do not return investments to their hometowns.
This is why Ibadan can never be compared with Jos....
I live in Warri and have lived in Benin (2 of the 5 largest and most urbanized cities in the SE\SS) and I can confidently say that Jos is better than both cities, except of course when it comes to money. Jos is very neat and far well organized compared to these places.
If not for the recurring crisis that rocked Jos and saw to the burning down of the Jos ultra-modern market (the largest of it's kind in Africa), Ibadan would have not measured up Jos in Commerce. Jos is very green as it is the only city in West Africa with a natural wildlife park in the center of the city.
So, take it or leave it, Jos is better or on par with Ibadan in all ramifications apart from Industries & Commerce.

For me, I think it is you Yorubas that allowed the fall of Ibadan by mass migration to Lagos.
Abuja is now becoming a threat to Kaduna & Jos but it still will never be able to 'braindrain' both cities. Never. We will not accept it.



Wow, thanks a lot for the advice.
Yes I know USA pays so much more than Canada and I think I will look towards the USA as soon as I get my Canadian PR which will come 2 years after working in Canada.
Apparently, I will be eligible for tuition free tertiary education in Canada as a tax payer, so I don't think I will ignore this huge opportunity to spend a huge amount of money on American education.
I can still take advantage of the American job market right from Canada with a master's degree from a Canadian university, or don't you think?

Yes I will definitely do my research before investing in the Nigerian market.

Wow, who would have known that you were such a young ambitious, enlightened and exposed fellow.... I and probably many others here see you as a local tribalist and Yoruba supremacist. .
Can you tell me how someone like you still have the time to do all the tribal banters on nairaland and how did you become so 'tribalist' or pro-yoruba? I am interested.

Actually, the modern part of Ibadan is much bigger than the whole town of jos.

sulaak:
Lead to where? The state can't even complete the priority Red and Blue rail network, yet they want to embark on another expensive project that they can't even start.

But it is stated in the report that they are looking for a company that will build the bridge ( source for the fund and engage a construction company to do the job) then, the same company will operate the facility for some years through tolling to get their money back and so far about 37 companies have shown interest.

The reality is that the Lagos state government is not going to pay a dime for the project

misterjosh:
Another avenue to loot via inflated costs, and giving of contracts to their cronies.

Lagos state government is looking for a company that will build and operate the bridge for a period of time, it is called government-private partnership. It is not a case of contract awarding

Sleevia:
BLAH BLAH... if you really wanted to do this sort of thing in the most intelligent way, shouldn't you have gone for a more liberal Northerner, a more learned one? Why did it have to be Buhari? abeg hide your face in shame because you ended up destroying whatever was left of the country in your desperation.

I'm in agreement with you Tinubu made a very big mistake aligning with Buhari, as we speak I know he still regretting his action but you must also know that Jonathan pushes the Yoruba nation to the wall.

Jonathan was naive and underrated the Yoruba nation, some people believe that the Igbos in his government were responsible for his action towards the Yoruba but that his history now.

The truth is Buhari is the biggest danger to the British experiment called Nigeria.

mrvitalis:
Do u even know who zoning is the brain child of ?
Its Alex akwueme ...its based on geopolitical zone ,one south ,one north

Its only greed that would make south west contest after spending 16 years in the presidency ..when Igbo's have none

Na only una dey south ...

The main point of zoning is so that every geopolitical zone get to rule this country ...now u are twisting it to fit your narrative

Thought u guys say what's turn power is given u only need to build a bridge ...how far your 2015 bridge is it still standing strong ?

Alex ekweme contested against Obasanjo in the primary of 1998 and lost, I never read it anywhere that he was the brain behind zoning, if you have any document to support your point, please forward it here so that we can all learn.

I would prefer a country where each region controls its affairs or outright disintegration but since we are part of this country we will always aspire for the highest post in the land.

mrvitalis:
If Yoruba's want what is right why not back an Igbo man ...even Joe invoke is OK ...

Its the turn of south east based on zoning ...

Why must we back an Igbo man, why can't we back a Yoruba man, an ijaw man or a Benin man?

We will back a Yoruba man in the person if either Tinubu, Fashola or Osibanjo. You are free to back the north if you feel your interest will best be protected by them.

12inchess:
I'm sure Tinubu is smart enough to know that he doesn't need to contest in election to be the president. Tinubu has been the Godfather of Lagos politics for so long. He even controls who becomes governor in Lagos. You saw how he kicked out abode. They don't call him Jagaban for nothing. While I know he is driven by his on personal greed and not the progress of southwest,it's his personal greed that is moving him to control the presidency. In summary, Tinubu doesn't need to be the president to be the president in a similar way he doesn't need to be the governor of lagos to be the governor of lagos. You get what I mean. He is all about power and all that noise about contesting is just a smoke screen for his true ambitions.

I don't like political Godfather but I would never join the enemy of Yoruba to bring down the true son of the soil.

Tinubu might be greedy just like every Nigeria politician but why do a section of the country always criticize him and leave bigger criminal in their region.

We don't practice merit-based democracy in Nigeria, what we practice is to use what you have to best protect your interest, in the north, they have Islam and a uniting factor why we Yoruba have our ethnicity as only thing uniting us. I will never criticise Tinubu just because some envious southeasterner wants him out of the way to lay claim to Lagos.

voltron14:
The fact is Sowore is Ijaw from Ondo.

Just as you have Ijaw in Edo state.

He should be considered as one from the Ijaw stock.

He speaks Yoruba fluently, married a Yoruba, bears Yoruba name and associates with Yoruba. He is a pure Yoruba like every one of us.

When I see sowere I see a fellow Yoruba brother.

mrvitalis:
Why didnt u think of this in 2015 ...now u want to see the big picture

Its not your turn its the turn of the south east ...south west has ruled ...u guys are just being greedy ...if we act like u we both lose out ...so we would work with north

This is 1960 all over again

Zoning is a gentleman agreement between the North and the south. The two northern presidents since 1999 have all come from the Northwest (in fact, from the same state). When it is the turn of the south all the ethnic group from the south should fight for it not to come up with another micro zoning.

2023 should be the turn of the south, be you south west, south east or south-south everyone in the south should fight for it. No one is micro zoning it your geipolitical zone

voltron14:
You are a northerner.

In 2016, you were seeking to move to the SW.

One would wonder how one from the SW, who claims to be well travelled would be needing advise on where in the SW to move to

Because I was born here in the North.
You can be well-travelled without really understanding the social-economic situation of the areas of travel to.

dam4sam:
I have met him some twenty five years ago, when he was an undergraduate of Unilag.
He is pure Yoruba. Even his name says so (Omoyele). And the last time l checked, Ondo State is part of the South West
Its like calling the Yoruba people in Kabba, Kwara State, Northerners!
Isn't that laughable?

Don't mind that guy sir, I see no reason why will should divide ourself just because of supporting an ethnic bigot like Buhari

mrvitalis:
Lol u people think south would vote osibanjo
Now its obvious north wants to keep power where would he get the votes from

South south abi south east talk na

You always fail to see the bigger picture, the Igbos best bet to having an equitable share of national wealth and restructuring is having liberal southerners or middle beltans as the president.

An average southerner or ethnic minority of the North will always protect your interests than core northerners

voltron14:
So where is your base?

In the North for now

voltron14:
My friend, take several seats.

Sowore is not Yorruba.

Sowore is Ijaw.

Apoi Ijaw.

It doesn't matter if is an ethnic Ijaw, he is a Yoruba man from Ondo state, we all see him as Yoruba

voltron14:
Really?

When did you make this journey?

In my line of work, I travelled a lot.
I am from Ikare in Akoko northeast of Ondo state, my mother and wife from Kwara.

I have been to Kwara, Ekiti, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Kogi, Osun and Lagos.

voltron14:
You are Yoruba, yet you dont know anywhere in the South West.

Yoruba indeed.

I have been to every inch of Yoruba land from jebba down to seme and from lokoja down to Ifon in Ondo State.

I am not only a Yoruba but a Yoruba nationalist. "Omo Ikare olokemeji takotabo" I am a very proud Yoruba man

Nowenuse:
Yoruba & Hausa-Fulani people will eventually destroy the one Nigeria they so love and seek after because of political greed.

The worse is yet to come, this is only just the beginning. We are still in 2019 and yet all these are unfolding.

I am Yoruba but I must give it to you as one of the most enlightened contributor here on nairaland.
The reality is the core north will use greed to destroy the one Nigeria they so much depend on for their sustainability.

I love what is about to unfold as I love an independent Yoruba homeland than the current contraction will call Nigeria. The greed of Tinubu will help disintegrate Nigeria and the people of the South and the middle belt will be the biggest beneficiaries

KevinDein:
LMAO
What is more parasitic? You've got any scale to measure the degree of parasitsm? Definitely not. A parasite is a parasite. If you are not from the Niger Delta you are just as parasitic as everyone else.

So get over yourself.

South West actually brings a lot to the table, Almost 30% of the nation revenues comes from Lagos, Yes core north bring absolutely zero to the table.

fk001:
Lol, why is this one ranting?

Go and find out the relationship between Saudi and the jews, in fact, there is intermarriage between them.

They have one interest in common "they all hate Shia"

And this is the largest Islamic sect in the Middle East, that's why most of the Arab countries are in logger head with S.A.


I won't argue further with you are being sentimental.

I have done extensive reading on middle east affairs, I know a lot about their foreign policies and the animosity of all Arab state towards the state of Israel. The Muslim world number enemy is Israel but political and economic factor is forcing countries like Saudi, Egypt and other Arab gulf countries are stooge of USA anyway to be warm towards Israel. USA demand for them to soften their views about Israel as one of the preconditions for the numerous security and arm deals between these countries.

Saudi Arabia is an absolute dictatorship and the biggest danger to ruling family at this point in time is the Shia minority who see Iran as a model to follow, Iran being a Shia state will always be a threat to the ruling family of Saudi Arabia. Israel see Iran as the only Islamic country with capability to launch a successful attack on their home land, hence Iran is their number one threat in the region. It is marriage of convenience between Saudi and Israel, the old adage, ''the enemy of my enemy is my friend'' , If not for the out lash that their open relationship will generate, Saudi would have public declare support to Israel and open diplomatic ties with the Zionist state
