Lalasticlala Kindly take this to the promised land so people can see what promise this country held before greed, nepotism and religious bigotry destroyed all. Imagine the government of Northern Nigeria owned piggeries which produced sausages. Cattle were being transported in train coaches down south meaning they didn't have to be herded by road causing clashes with farmers. We were even producing and exporting sausages.

There was indeed a country.

The curse of oil

What state are you from please?


My bet is that Kano is by far more developed than your State.

With 70% illiteracy and 70% population living below poverty line with millions of almajiris? Plzzzz

Obi1kenobi:
An "empire" that was still as primitive as our "unclad bush dwellers". What kind of empire is that.
Before the colonialists came here, you couldn't read or write (even our bush dwellers had Nsibidi calligraphy). Dwelt in the same mud and thatch as our Eastern bush dwellers. You lived by the ocean but could never navigate it like our bush dwellers. You had no scientific/technological accomplishments like our bush dwellers. Basically, you were just as primitive as our naked bush dwellers. So what good was your so-called "empire"? Sure, you had some tribal chiefs slaughtering each other in endless wars and consolidating their power in expanding their territory. But what did they accomplish for posterity?

In the end, your advancement (and yes, I do believe Yorubas are the most successful tribe in Nigeria because I'm an honest person) depended on the simple fact you were the geographical gateway for the Western colonialists and had first contact with them and profited from Western education and trade through your ports. It had nothing to do with any primitive "empire" you built.

I thought the Edos were the first present day Nigerians to come in contact with the Europeans (portuguese) and not the Yorubas? You should confirm this.

Yorubas were already reading and writing Arabic due to Islamic influence, hundreds of years before colonization.

Nonaira1:
Very much true especially the bold. And honestly, i think the Nigeria fulani have this grandiose mindset because those two tribe you mentioned have mystified them as some supreme being. Afterall, whenever fulani does whatever nonsense they do, those two are already to insult, attack and dare anyone that speaks against them or are either begging everyone to walk on egg shell to appease the fulani. Thus, it comes as no shock the Nigeria fulani have the grandiose thought about themselves.
The ones in Guinea, Senegal, shit even the ones from Gambia sef, at least the ones I've met and interacted with, are without a doubt more respectful, nicer and tolerable. I personally believe it's due to not having groups that put them up in a high pedestal like the ones in Nigeria has.

Gbam!

Fulanis in Cameroon were also living fly in the 60's & 70's when they dominated the country politically, taking advantage of the Kirdi minorities of the north and central.
But as soon as the Southerners united, it was game over for them. Fulanis in Cameroon have been cut to pieces. Infact they are now some of the most humble Africans you can find. They have grasped western education now, just in a bid to catch up with the south. I pray the South never makes the mistake to allow them back into power.

The earlier we all Southerners and middlebelters choose to unite, the better for us, otherwise fulanis will keep on taking us for a ride in this country.

Physicist:
You are very correct. Fulanis only make noise in Nigeria. In other countries such as Mali, Guinea Bissau, Guinea where Fulani is a major tribe, Fulanis have little political power. In Guinea (where Futa Djallon Highlands is located), Fulanis are the majority tribe. However, Fulanis are usually careful during election there, because they can be physically beaten during elections. Fulanis have little political power in Guinea and all other countries. As you rightly mentioned, the Northern Muslims and Southwest Muslims are the people allowing Fulanis to hold on to political power in Nigeria. The Fulanis are able to do this by deceiving the Yoruba Muslims and some other Northern Muslims. If you observe very well, it seems Fulanis give respect to the Kanuris or they are afraid of the Kanuris in Nigeria. If not why can’t Fulanis herdsmen go to Sambissa forest to have grazing reserves. Fulanis bully other tribes only in Nigeria.

As for the Kanuris, yes, fulanis might not be able or want to confront them. But really, it makes no difference any more. Kanuris are already willing tools today in the hands of the Fulanis.

The fulanis have already used the Hausas to silence every other ethnic group in the north and completely dominate the region. Since 1999, when last did a Kanuri occupy any top position in Nigeria? The middlebelt is even considered ahead of them in positions like Senate, deputy senate presidents and speakers.

Kanuris have almost completely lost their ethnic pride nationally all in the name of one arewa. They have no national agenda of their own, no national pan ethnic forums or socio cultural organizations, nothing! As large as they are! In Yobe, Bauchi & Jigawa, most of the indigenous Kanuris are now switching to Hausa as their mother tongue. Infact, just forget it. And these were supposed to be an ethnic group with a large pre colonial kingdom who defeated the fulanis.

The only time Kanuris had a strong influence was during the old North-eastern state, where they dominated the entire north-east and the capital of that gigantic state was in Maiduguri (the Kanuri heartland).

As soon as the old north eastern state was divided, the fulanis hijacked old Bauchi & Gongola states. Thereby breaking Kanuri influence.

DerideGull:
Arrant nonsense. There is nothing such as Hausa/Fulani. It is Hausa or Fulani.

I am afraid that there is actually Hausa fulani, with over 10 million fulanis linguistically and culturally hausanized but who still claim Fulani heritage and identity, am afraid that both have become inseperable to a large extent in the Nigerian context.

DerideGull:
I have know you as a fake news peddler. Sokoko Caliphate stretched to eastward to Adamawa and Taraba. They committed a suicidal blunder when tried to head southeast-ward and beat a hasty retreat.

See bros, stop spreading lies here you hear?

Igbos and Fulanis never came in contact with each other before the coming of the white man, and this was because the Fulanis themselves could not be able to defeat the Tivs, Wukari kingdom(Jukuns), Igalas, Idomas and Plateau people.
They could hardly penetrate most parts of the eastern middlebelt areas and this is why you have christian majority populations in Taraba, Benue & Plateau. Save for Igalas and parts of Nasarawa who later accepted Islam through trade (that is why Igalas and Nasarawa muslims are not ruled by fulani emirs and they share no extremist islamic views). They have their ancestral traditional rulers.

So stop repeating the false unfounded rubbish about fulanis encountering Igbos in battle. Or do you think all of us here are ignorant of history?
For Gods sake, how could fulanis have reached Igbos without passing through Igala or Benue? Bia nwokem, kpachanya gi

Stingman:
...It is only in Nigeria you can say this rubbish. Was it Mali where you have more population, but never allowed political power? I need to cross check...How come you have more population in Nigeria?

Is it only in Mali?
What about in Guinea and Senegal where the fulanis even claim to originate?
The wolof and other tribes there do not allow them to smell power. They are heavily dominated there, but in Nigeria, the fullanis use religion (islam) to deceive and brainwash the Hausas and Yoruba muslims to gain their support. Only in Gambia do fulanis produce presidents aside Nigeria.. Infact they hardly do even in Niger republic. The Zarma people dominate them heavily over there.

biafrasun:
I have been hearing about zango kataf crisis never know the Genesis, no wonder they removed history from our schools. oh I weep for this Sithole, this is their game plan. it shall not be well with those game planners.

Zangon kataf was simply a crisis around 1993, that consumed thousands of lives and led to ethnic cleansing of all hausa fulani settlers in that town in Southern Kaduna.

As usual, Hausas started the crisis, wanting to colonize, dominate and displace Southern Kaduna natives on their ancestral lands. However, Atyap (Kataf) people (the original natives of the town) never failed to show the Hausas who is in charge. Just like the Ile-Ife crisis last year, but worse, because the whole town was almost burnt to the ground.

Hapigirlxoxo:
And Lalong is foolishly accepting cattle colony while his north central counterparts are backing out. God please dash Lalong sense.

Lalong has been nothing but a disgrace to Plateau people.

If not for the mistake of former governor Jang, APC nor Lalong wouldn't have been able to win elections in Plateau. It is very clear that this Bako called Lalong is truly a stranger to Plateau people. See the costly mistake that tribalism has cost Plateau people!

May God continue to bless and enlarge him. I wonder why people like this do not contest for presidency.

TundeHashim:
Bro, there's nothing called middle belt. The so-called "middle belt" comprises of 6 states to wit: Plateau, Benue, Kogi, Nassarawa, Niger and Kwara States. The middle belt idea is strong in the first two states probably because of the preponderance of their Christian population. With respect to Kogi, circumstances has tied them to the North. Nassarawa is a Northern State in all fores. The leadership of this state (Lafia, Keffi, Nassarawa ) is inextricably tied to the legacy of Shehu. Niger and Kwara belongs to the North in blood, water and spirit from now till eternity. All this issues are temporary, we'll find a way to go about it. But I assure u, most of these alleged attacks aint true. The Fulbe by nature are peaceful and easy going. It's the absence of strong leadership from the part of the gov't that's causing all this mess but we'll pass it, God willing!

There is something called middlebelt! And watch how it will unfold and take you blood sucking jihadists unaware! It's just a matter of time.

TundeHashim:
The North still remains the best option for the state. South East is not a good alternative while the distance to southwest is massive. So we all remain one...in blood and spirit..The North...One People One Destiny!!!

May God punish that one north one people one destiny agenda. Nonsense!
Hausa fulanis have declared war on the middlebelt and you are talking about one north? Madness. It's not people like you who I blame, but the leaders of the middlebelt who sold the heritage and identity of the millions of middlebelt people.

Shebi now, after much bloodshed, they are beginning to realize their mistake?

My God! Gideon Orkar saw all this coming, that was why he wanted to cut off all hausa fulanis & kanuris away from Nigeria to merge them with their kit & kin in Niger republic.

These fulanis really mean business in Nigeria. They are ready with full force and might!

xcolanto:
Kogi is a strategic state in the jihad misson of Islamizing Nigerian because it share borders with the northern and southern states. Now they have a safe heaven in kogi to fall back to after launching attacks down south. In addition, they can host their jihadist brothers In kogi before heading out for midnight raids on little girls and food stuffs.

Gbam!

plusfield:
They voted for change, they should enjoy their change. Fulanis no dey take eye see 'peace loving people'.
And incidentally, the state is cursed with the worst governor in the history of nigeria. Why are they at okun? They should be redirected to okene, yahaya bello's hometown, there are better grasses there

And you see, this is the problem. An Ebira governor is using Yoruba people as his lab rats and footstool! Why did Bello not take the fulanis to Okene?

Where are the nairaland hardcore yorubanists like Alariiwo, markfemi e. t. c. Come and watch another case of Ilorin in Okun! These fulanis from here will spread to Osun, Ogun, Ondo & Oyo. They have finally found a permanent base and territory in yoruba land alas.

If he was a muslim, he'd have had a chance.

Nupes and Niger state at large are an extension of Hausa-fulani Islamic extremism

proeast:
RUBBISH! This is a clarion call on all Southerners whether you are Igbo, Yoruba or ND, we all must unite now & reject these savages. We already have examples in Jos North & Illorin on how the gullible & naive indigens gave land to these people, & today, while Illorin, a wholly Yoruba town is now an emirate answerable to Sokoto, Jos North on its own is now ruled by fulanis, from the councilors to LG chairmen up to federal reps & the original indigens completely pushed out to Jos South! Woe betide any SE governor that will even contemplate such abomination! Buhari can give sambisa forest to his brothers as cattle colony since something as simple as cattle ranch has become rocket science! Even Kenyans are making so much from cattle ranching yet these barbarians want to drag us back to the 18th century. HOW THE HELL DID I END UP WITH THESE PEOPLE AS COMPATRIOTS?? IS IT NOT OBVIOUS THAT THE SOUTH HAS NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THEM?? GOD SAVE US FROM BUHARI?! GOD SAVE US FROM THE SH!THOLE!!!

As much as I love this piece,, you are wrong about Jos north! The current caretaker chairman of Jos north is not a Hausa Fulani or muslim but a Plateau indigene christian.
In the state house of reps for Jos north, out of the 3 constituencies, hausa muslims occupy only 1,while indigenes occupy 2. Not all the councillors in Jos north are hausa muslims! 6 are muslims but 7 are Christians!

As for the federal house of rep for Jos north federal constituency, yes, he is a muslim but he is not a Hausa fulani, he is kofyar by tribe from Quanpan, a plateau indigene.
Among all the traditional rulers and district heads in Jos, Hausas have none!

Donald3d:
Even the section on Nairaland , you need to swear an oath, but christians are mumu people and we can be trampled upon anyhow , I wrote a post on facebook I will share it here :
This may look like bigotry but if you read carefully and drop all forms of sentiments wether ethic or religious , you would see I am saying the truth .

Posts like this actually make me quite infuriated. Any adult christian by now that still thinks he and an average muslim are the same and have same way of reasoning in respect to the sanctity of human life, egalitarian human existence and equal rights to belief, is an irredeemable fool.
These muslims no longer hide their true colour anymore, yet some foolish people are still somehow expecting something impossible from them.

While I maintain that, not all muslims are actually extremists, I have long concluded that most of the so called liberal muslims as well are complicit to the actions of the extremists. They support the extremists by heart! While those muslims who may not support the extremists by heart and action, but choose to keep quiet, are no different from those who support the extremists by heart!

Make no mistake, every muslims falls into one of these 3 categories!

aolawale025:
Not so fast. Except the colony would be located in kogi central. No community leader in the other parts of the state would accept colonies. Just watch.

Sorry to disappoint you, but some cheap and foolish community leaders can be bribed by the governor to surrender their lands for cattle colony!

I heard that your Okun brothers are about to make this terrible mistake!

Ahmeduana:
THE IGBIRAS ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING BECAUSE BELLO IS THERE BROTHER

They don't need to say anything na. Igalas and Okuns will have no problem as long as that useless Yahaya Bello of a governor establishes the cattle colony in his own Ebira land. He cannot try the nonsense of establishing a cattle colony on other people's land all in the name of being a Kogi governor!

Terrible

Jonathan:
Woe betide what ever thing that will compel me to set foot in that miserable HIV infested country.


I detest those south Africans with passion.
One of the reasons why I hated that bigbrother9ja show and never watched it. WHY SHOULD BBN SHOW BE AIRED FROM SOUTH AFRICA WHAT RUBBISH!

Nigerians there should come home and make your country better. I'm tired of hearing this type of story regularly.

Seriously it's sad. However, DSTv is owned by white south africans who have no issue with xenophobia. Even among the black south africans, many of them are also against this xenophobia and claim that the bad ones are tarnishing their image.

I don't think it would be fair for us to judge the entire South africa for the negative attributes of some.

Afterall, not all white americans are racists!
Not all Latin americans are drug pushers!
Not all Nigerians are internet fraudsters, ritualists, drug smugglers and what have you.

smellingmenses:
she is NOT hausa.

AnanseK made the mistake. She is not Hausa but still a northerner though (from southern kaduna). If it was vice versa, watch how Igbo folks here would have insulted and ridiculed all northerners here today, (hausa or not).

Well, I thank God that the person standing and fighting for the poor girl is also an Igbo man. This tells us that evil knows no tribe, likewise good too. God bless the good samaritan and I hope the innocent underaged girl gets justice.

doctokwus:
I wonder how one of the most prominent Swestern governor Buhari ass lickers,would react.
Perhaps he does nothing again,afterall the same governor watched st up idly as his state indigenes,including an Oba,where transported in handcuffs to Abuja to face trial while their northern adversaries roamed the streets of Ogun state freely.

Seriously, yorubas sometimes behave very shamelessly, disgracefully and cowardly!
