Yes, am among the pure blood Hausas whose ancestors resisted Islam under pain of death from Danfodio and Ahmadu Bello's Islamasition movements. This resistance was passed from one generation to another with the aim of preserving the original Hausa Culture and Traditions.
I see the middle belt as the key to the liberation of the Hausa land because the Hausas are way too comfortable with their gradual disappearance. Hausas with my kind of opinion are too few and weak to effect the corrections but an alliance with a united Middle belt can get the job done. This is because even if the Middle belt region should liberate itself, so long as the Sokoto sultanate and their puppet Amirs remain, the victory remains halfway. Full victory requires total undoing of Dan Fodio's mess. Hausa Kings (Haɓe) are better than the Amirs any day. The Middle belt region has power beyond what I can say but they are too divided, that is why the Fulanis will try to decimate them ASAP before another Kwararrafa emerges that is sure to address the current nonsense. Wake up Middle belt, Unite under one banner, set your cause and correct history's mistakes.

I thought as much.

I have only come in contact with few maguzawa hausa. Very calm and humble people.

There are some few questions I'd like to ask you about your people please. I'd appreciate your honest response.

1) Are all Maguzawa hausa people christians today? Or are there still pure hausa pagans? Are there hausa muslims who still practice and believe in maguzawa culture?

2) I heard 'Masihiyawa' is the umbrella body for Hausa christians. Do you have a rough idea how many hausa christians and maguzawa still exist today? Apparently, they are around 2 million, how true?

3) What areas are you guys predominantly found?

I heard you guys are mostly found in Kano (Tudun wada & Doguwa), in Zaria (Wusasa) and in Katsina (Malumfashi, Kankia & Kafur)..... Is this true?

4) I also heard that you guys are heavily discriminated by the muslim majority society and treated badly. And that many of you are converting to islam to escape discrimination..... Is this true?

5) How do you guys view the name 'Maguzawa'? Do you find it derogatory? Is that what the muslims call you guys most often?

Thanks for your response.

Exactly, But those pure Yorubas are minority in Ilorin, majority of people in Ilorin have either Fulani, Hausa or Nupe lineage.

That is the problem. Majority of the Ilorin yorubas have been heavily mixed with people of fulani, nupe & hausa origin, hence they are very sympathetic to Arewa identity and are pro-caliphate. Liberating Ilorin would be almost impossible.
Let us not forget that Moro LGA which is under Ilorin emirate too is predominantly Nupe and Yoruba/Nupe mixed people. Ilorin is just too mixed. Yorubaness has been heavily diluted. And the issue of islamic bond is not helping matters.

DedeNkem:
Good. Keep your fulani terrorists in the north!

Don't forget that Kogi shares direct boundary with Igbo land and many other Southern states.
The fulanis can definitely use this place as a launch and conference center to attack neighbouring Southern states, just as they used Odekpe town in neighbouring Kogi state to converge and attack Enugu. You never can tell.

EternalTruths:
Ajaokuta belongs to which ethnic group.?

Predominantly Ebira and some few Igalas.

Ebiras in Action.

Na so

Bluffly:
Middle belt people are senseless. Core northern state has not announced cattle colony but some mumu in the middle region are declaring.

Abeg don't drag all the middlebelt people into the stupidity of Egbirra people. Can't you see that the Igalas and Okuns in Kogi state rejected it?

Ebiras are predominantly muslims and majority have sold themselves to Hausa fulani in the name of islam.

Also, this by mistake Egbirra governor is doing all he can to win Buhari's heart so that they can rig the next Kogi election for him to assume 2nd tenure, cos he sure knows that the Igalas and okuns hate him and will never vote him for another tenure.

Go and post any campaign picture of this governor in any part of Kogi east (Igala land) and watch Igala youths lynch you to death.

Should we all tag all Igbos as senseless because of the stupidity and sycophancy of Rochas?

femidejulius:
There is no greater sycophant who seek the President's favour than the governor of Kogi State.

*He declared a public holiday when the president returned to the country from London where he went to treat himself when even Katsina state where the president came from and the federal government the President heads didn't.
*He was one of the governors who went to tell the President to contest for second term while Benue was burying over seventy victims of Fulani killings.
*He is now giving his state out to cattles so that cattles can colonise Kogi people.

Well,so much for a young governor. Yahaya Bello,una well done.

What do you expect. Yahaya Bello knows that the Igalas and Okuns in the state will never vote him for another tenure and Ebira votes cannot make him governor again. ....so he wants Buhari to rig the election in his favour, but this is his mistake. He will still loose.

poseidon12:
And you took him serious? Do you think that all those poor Northerners shouting Sai Baba are Fulani? They are Hausa, Kanuri, Nupe, Gwari. Come 2019, they will still vote Buhari.

Nupe and gwari muslims will still vote Buhari again of course. They have lost their identity to islam. However, the christians among them will not. Kanuris and hausas value Islamic bond more than anything, so, no need to even consider whatever they say.

The only muslims in Nigeria who do not play politics with religion are the yorubas and Igalas. Ebira muslims are just like nupe muslims, islam means more to the majority of them.

Odingo1:
Actually Yoruba muslims should show us where this mosque was located in Osun 500yrs ago and how they have been practicing Islam with facts, from history books in Nigeria we where told that Usman dan fodio came to Nigeria and spread Islam from the North to northern fringe of yorubaland, that is why Islam is found more at the northern part of yorubaland and it decreases downward to Ondo and very small in Edo where it terminate. Christianity increases from Eastern Nigeria down to Yorubaland also and the north.

Fulani people also boast about how they introduce Islam to Yorubas openly without any objection in any manner both written or verbally from yoruba muslims, one notable Fulani man even said it openly in an interview media chat that when they came to Ilorin that they kill the locals and force them to abandon their Idol worshiping and embrace Islam, it is all there in national newspapers.

I am not a yoruba, so am not defending them, but I actually think they are right. Many Nigerian groups including the yorubas, nupes, Hausas, Kanuris, Baribas etc, were already muslims before Danfodio came. It is on record. Danfodio only made islam more radical (supposedly 'pure') by enliminating almost all forms of idolatary from cultures.

Iwo is in Osun state, and they are more Islamic than many parts of Kwara south, Oyo state (Ogbomosho) and Kogi west, who are predominantly christian and more northerly located. So, that is really no point.

Islam came into yoruba land from the western axis (Mali). Ondo, Ekiti and Kogi west are more eastern in location.

ballerin:
Saraki is not fulani, he has no fulani ancestry. stop arguing needlessly.
I have had a number of encounters with ikwerres & their reactions to being Igbo isn't a pretty sight.

Saraki could actually be hausa or fulani by ancestry. Is Saraki a Yoruba name? No it's not. It is a corruption of the name SARKI, (which means king in Hausa). So, how come the name?

TEEBLUE88:
Nowenure... You are sooo on point, am from southern kaduna. we were told that when our fathers were under zazzau(zaria) emirate, they MUST submit a parcentage of all their harvest(just like tithe) to the then emir of jema'a(kafanchan) who is directly under the emir of zazzau plus bundles of grasses(meant for roofing tatched houses) every year, they would trek from the lenth and breadth of southern kaduna to do so . they were literally slaves in the own land. THANK GOD FOR THAT GENERATION THAT FOUGHT FOR US, the Afonjas must get this, that for them to reclaim their throne, BLOOD MUST FLOW!

You can imagine that!.
And it was not as if your people were conquered by Zaria. It was through the colonial indirect rule which the fulanis took advantage of and enslaved most northern minorities.

sasalite:
You have spoken the bitter truth about the Hausas. It may shock you to know that am one of them. The fulanis used religion to dethrone our Hausa kings and my people stupidly allowed it. Till world's end I refuse to accept Fulani dominance over me, it may not change anything but still I'll pass this truth down my line. The Hausa culture is almost dead due to this nonsense, what we have today is fulani culture portrayed in dances and Islamic monarchs dressed like Arabs. The Amirs have replaced our Sarakuna. Very few people know the original Hausa culture like our one week long traditional weddings, harvest festivals, e.t.c. I wish I can turn back the time and give sense to my people just before the Dan Fodio Fulani Jihad, the world would have known the real Hausa man and not the zombies we have today.

Wow! Am shocked to see a hausa man being as open as you are.
I highly doubt you are a muslim hausa. Perhaps you are a Christian Maguzawa hausa. If not, then, am shocked!

However I believe it is not too late. You can still do something for your people, no matter how small or minimal it is, don't just throw in the towel.

Sometimes I get so frustrated at my own people (middlebelt and northern minorities), at the docility, foolishness and identity confusion and uncertainty of our people, but I don't think I would easily give up without a fight.

In the future, I hope to form a very strong group to mobilize our people together and redefine a new identity and consciousness for them.

engrchykae:
the case for illorin and the original hausa indigenes of the northwest and the rest of the north is CLOSED.
The fulani happened to be the smartest and politically adept people.
When they want to subdue an enemy,they do so completely.
They arrest political power by installing an emir.
They arrest religious power by being in complete control of the Islamic religion,the imams and sultans are the exclusive of the fulanis.
Then lastly they seize economic power by owning the lands which is the instrument of production.
This method was so potent that Ibrahim Shekarau was the first and only hausa to become kano state governor.

Stop that rubbish, only the case of hausas and Ilorin people is closed and perhaps some other northern tribes.

Fulanis will never capture Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa & Taraba. Same with Southern Kaduna. Very soon, I see them loosing Adamawa too. The christian tribes of Adamawa are gradually uniting. Their voices will soon be heard.

Kanuri people are also tired of fulanis, but Boko haram has made them a shadow of themselves and the belief in Islamic bondage is still a problem.

scholes0:
Spot on about Nasarawa.

The state name isn't helping matters. Name of capital sef na Lafia.

Keffi, Akwanga, Even Karu's traditional leader Dr Emmanuel Yepwi is now calling himself as an Emir, and prefers to be addressed as such.
It's so sad really..

State governor , Tanko Al-Makura.
In addition the Hausa-Fulanis are becoming (or have become sef) the major power brokers in the state.
I thin Nassarawa's case is too late sef. Only those suburbs closer to the Abuja metro are safe due to the heavy presence of other nigerians who have made those places home.

It is also funny, that some people on this thread think it is only towns conquered before the British came to colonize Nigeria that have the shame of being "Fulani slaves", when the whole process of Northernization hasn't even ended / concluded yet.

It is still ONGOING, and some people are laughing. Ebiras and Barubas who claim to to have never been conquered by the caliphate, today what is the difference between them and those who were under the caliphate? Are Yahaya Bello and the so called Ohis (Ohimege, Ohinoyi, and the rest) not proper textbook Fulani slaves? lol! That's why I just laugh. These people have been conquered as well, more or less.

After Nassarawa is complete, Benue and Taraba are Next. Jalingo and Benue North (the part above the river) will be the launchpads.

My brother. Eggon and Mada people made a very big mistake! They thought they were being dominated and marginalized in Plateau state, then they joined those wolves in sheep clothing (Kambari/Kanuri of Lafia) and others to agitate for their own state.
See where it has landedd them, let them produce the governor of Nasarawa state let us see na.

Immediately Nasarawa state was created, the Kanuri and hausa fulani emirate minorities joined forces with the tribal muslims to hijack the state. All the stake holders agreed that the capital of the state should be in Akwanga, only for Abacha to turn around overnight and carry the capital to Lafia (where his kanuri brothers are).

Eggon/Mada people were clearly deceived and manipulated. They thought they would get the capital in Akwanga.

To worsen the case in Nasarawa, the muslims have set the Eggon/mada christians in enimity against the other Christians in the state using tribalism. Aren't you surprised that Buhari has never won Nasarawa state? This is because when it comes to FG elections, all the christians in the state unite, but when it comes to state elections, they are divided along tribe.

Well, let's see how the next election will be, I hope the eyes of all Nasarawa christians will open this time around to see that they are being played. Governorship is to be zoned to Nasarawa north where the majority are christians (Eggon/mada people). Let's see how they will manipulate it this time around.


As for that Gbagyi king of Karu, I have never heard anything as such, but even if i did, I wouldn't be surprised! Gbagyi people have a slavish mentality and high inferiority. Can't you see how hausas are dominating them on their lands in Minna, Suleja and other parts of Niger east?

Gbagyi people are the reason why christians lost domination of Kaduna city. Infact, if not for other southern kaduna tribes who joined forces and have managed to influence the Gbagyis over there, it would have been a completely lost case.
Gbagyi christian political leaders used to support Hausa muslims in Kaduna state over southern kaduna people in the past. Not until Sharia 2001 crisis when thousands of the Gbagyis were killed by hausas, did they realize that hausas are the enemies and not their fellow Christians. It is just very sad. Gbagyi people act as if they are under a curse by hausas.
Anyway, let me stop here.

And you are very correct, if not for the proximity of Karu to Abuja, Karu would have been no different from Keffi, Toto and Nasarawa LGA where most of the gbagyi towns are now dominated by hausas. It is just very shameful.


As for the Ebiras and Barubas, take them serious at your own peril. Most of them are pro caliphate and are no different from nupes and even hausas to an extent. They are tools of the caliphate to destabilize the unique middlebelt identity and struggle.

ayoxelee:
see this mumu..... An average Ilorin man will prefer to b addressed as a Fulani man than being addressed as a Yoruba man.... So dnt just come n open ur mouth on NL

Those ones are fulanis or partly fulanis or hausas or nupe by ancestry. Don't be deceived by the fact that they speak yoruba or have yoruba names. They are bot of yoruba origin.
The pure yorubas of Afonja lineage will never claim to be fulani or accept the tag

KingGBsky:
Is it true that the Fulanis are kings in all the northern states?
Pls someone enlighten me.

Fulanis are kings over all Hausa areas (the entire northwest apart from Southern Kaduna).

They used to be kings in southern kaduna as well, until the southern kaduna christian tribes united and broke away from fulani rule, now they have their own traditional rulers.

As for the north-east, historically, the fulani army who also used hausa foot soldiers to attack and conquer Bauchi, parts of Adamawa, Yobe, Gombe and even Taraba.
So, the fulanis rule the entire north east too, except for the Kanuris of Borno and the Bachama and other tribes of Numan confederation in Adamawa. The people of Southern Gombe (who are christians) also resisted Fulani rule and have their own kings. While a particular tribe in Bauchi south also resisted fulani rule too and now have their own king.
Taraba is one north-east state where the majority are not ruled by fulani. The Jukun kingdom of Wukari was great and were never defeated by fulanis. However, fulanis still rule a large chunk of Taraba, but they are heavily opposed and undermined there, since Taraba is a christian majority and christian ruled state.

So, fulanis rule at least 50-60% of the north-east.


In the north-central, fulanis only dominate in Niger and Kwara state (Ilorin). They rule the entire state as long as am concerned. Although many Nupes and Gwaris will argue that their emirs are not fulanis, however, all Emirs are subject to the fulani Sokoto caliphate, so it makes no difference.

Benue state has no business with fulani rule or emirate. Kogi state too, however, that can be argued, since the Maigari of Lokoja is traditionally under the Emir of Bida in Niger state. So Bida controls Lokoja (although just sone part of it).

There are emirates in Nasarawa,FCT & Plateau, but they are in a minority.

So, we can say at least 25% of north-central is ruled by fulanis.

scholes0:
You are very right about Nupe Muslims and Gwaris.

Niger is supposedly a North -Central state, but honestly, they behave more like North West. Infact, it would be better if they were Zoned there, while Taraba is brought down to North Central from North East to replace them.

They won't be missed. They always sabotage North-Central efforts to achieve anything.

Gbam!

Taraba is a pure middlebelt state. The divide and rule people knew what they were doing when they took Taraba to the north-east.

Niger state was part of the old northwest state together with Sokoto and Zamfara. So, during this period and even before, so many hausas became integral parts of Niger state and heavily influenced them. Niger north (Kainji axis) and Niger east used to be slightly dominated by Kainji speaking and Gbagyi christians, but the story has changed today. The state is heavily hausanized.

These are the reasons why we have to wake up.

Hausanization and pro caliphate domination is now taking over Nasarawa state gradually. If Nasarawa had still remained part of Plateau, this nonsense would not have happened!

Chidexter:
Something has to be done, but it's a pity the solution seems to be veering towards a violent path.

Of course it has to be by violence!

Go and ask Southern Kaduna people how they broke out of the strangling grip of Zaria emirate. Millions of Southern Kaduna christians have been ruled from Zaria and all their local chiefs, village head and traditional rulers were fulani muslims sent from Zaria. What do you think caused the 1992 Zangon kataf crisis where the whole town was burnt to the ground and thousands of people died?

Go and ask Sayawa people (Hon Yakubu Dogara's tribe) of Bauchi south how they broke out of Bauchi emirate. They had to organize an ethnic cleansing and chased/kill all the fulanis away from Tafawa balewa town, till today, there is no mosque in that town! If not for that, you could imagine how fulanis were dominating Sayawa christians in their own ancestral land. It had to take series of crisis and bloodshed.

In Adamawa too, one tribe (Michika LGA) have also pulled out of fulani rule, but the fulani dominated state have refused to recognize it. See how they did it, when the current fulani king died. The fulani emirate in Mubi was about to send another king, the locals ambushed the coming king, chased them back to Mubi and forcefully crowned their own as king. Killing every fulani left behind. Now they are no longer under fulani rule.

However, dozens of other tribes in Adamawa, in Borno south and Yobe, and even some in Taraba still remain under fulani rule. Why do you think the fulanis have been fighting Bachama people in Adamawa recently? Bachama people are the only people in Adamawa who were never under fulani rule, hence the only threat to absolute Fulani domination in Adamawa. Fulanis can do anything they like and go free all over Adamawa state, but not in the 5 LGAs of Bachama and neighbouring peoples.

I pity that foolish old man who thinks they can overthrow a full emirate without crisis. Infact, theirs would need to be a full scale war, because unlike northern minorities who were only breaking away from the emirates, these ones want to overthrow a full blown emirate.

I wonder why most yorubas just like to deceive themselves. Cc laydoh, TheKingIsHere, sasalite, ZorGBUooeh

ballerin:
It will shock you. The era of emir in Ilorin is coming to an end. The people of ilorin will practice Islam with a Muslim Oba on the throne of their fathers.

Story for the gods, read what I wrote above.

laydoh:
am ashame,wat a shame.am from ilorin and everytime i see ilorin history,i always feel helpless.those fulani are devils,nonetheless,am a muslim,thats d only thing i got from them wc am happy for.

Can you hear yourself and how silly you sound? Are there no millions of muslims in Oyo, Ogun, Osun e. t. c? Is it also the fulanis that brought islam to them?

ZorGBUooeh:
Hausas are fulani allies, and they are the biggest beneficiaries of the alliance.

Actually the Original poor unmixed hausas are not beneficiaries...... The beneficiaries of the Hausa fulani alliance are the fulanis themselves and the hausa elites who have intermixed with the fulanis.

TheKingIsHere:
The fulanis don't fight their battles alone.

They go as far as importing their brothers from Mali, Niger, Chad, Senegal even Lybia.

Keep waiting for the hausas. Majority of the Hausas have been brainwashed into seeing Islam as an identity and bond btw them and the fulanis. And all the Hausa elites have been heavily intermixed with fulanis, so how the hell do you want hausas to do this? A hausa man whose grandmother, mother, wives and inlaws are all fulanis, should now start fighting fulanis? Impossible na.

Majority of the pure original hausas who have not mixed with the fulanis are poor, rural and illiterate! These ones cannot do jack!

So just forget about Hausa people, they are a lost case! Same with Nupe people and Gwari muslims of Niger state.

sasalite:
You misunderstand me, the Hausas are also in the same shoes with the Yorubas (they are both ruled by minority Fulanis). What am saying is the Hausas need to follow suit in this cause.

royalamour:
Because of a hidden demonic agenda. It's even funnier when you realize that these people are very few. I mean the original Nigerian Fulanis.

They will always align with the middle belt region in every election just to win.

But that's over now. Too many competent hands to transform Nigeria not cow milk sucking and gworo chewing elements.

In the video below, the flat nosed Ahmadu Bello said only Hausa fulanis can rule Nigeria and they set in motion the agenda.

He stressed further that any other Nigerian is regarded as a foreigner.

You see what the ugly man caused?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WSosECbcmM

Allign with the middlbelt or with yorubas? Do you know what you are saying at all?

In 2011 election, the middlebelters/northern minorities delivered more votes to Goodluck than the yorubas did. They delivered 8 states + over 1 million votes from Southern Kaduna. How many did Igbos deliver?

In 2015, Goodluck only won one yoruba state (Ekiti), but he won 4 middlebelt/northern minority areas (Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba and FCT). heck, GEJ even got 470k votes from Southern Kaduna people in the last election, and this was more than what Abia, Bayelsa, Cross river and many other core SS/SE states gave!

What on earth do you want middlebelters to do to prove themselves?

BBN followers are just h.orny self-righteous people using BBN as cover for their love of porn.

If you think about it critically, you'll find that this show actually poses a huge threat to the future of Nigeria. I hereby urge the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Navy, Nigerian Airforce, DSS and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps to do their jobs and protect the minds of young Nigerians from this all-out assault.


Enrich one person and destroy 1000 lives in the process?

Nigerian army? They have not finished defending the lives of dozens of Nigerians being slaughtered on daily basis, it is BBN they should now go after. What misplacement of priority.

Besides, how does an optional TV program like BBN becomes a threat? Are people forced to watch it?

sholey4love:
All I know is that some people who are in support of the immoral show even though they don't watch it but enjoy the stories are just looking for a way to justify their immoral attitude.

Did Big Brother viewers come to you to forcefully justify the show to you? It is probably you hypocrites who have the option to ignore the show, but still choose to watch it and then try to force your own views on others. Live and let live.

I think you might also be making a similar mistake as 12Submarine. India has more poor people than Nigeria, make no mistake, but Nigeria has more extremely poor people.

In all poverty index rankings, there is usually a difference btw the poor and extremely poor category.
