Mk93:
The numbers of people you guys kill daily in a northern state are more than sars casualties in a year

What of the number of people ritualists kill all over the south? All the human abbatoirs?
What about the daily killings by cultists and various gang members and confras?
Not to talk of ethnic conflicts like Ezza-Ezillo, Cross river-Ebonyi, etc

Oricha79:
Tomorrow they will claim it was Fulani herdsmen....jukun and tiv are too wicked.

And your tribe Ebira is supposed to be better? Ebira people who fight and behead each other for clan divisions?

Coolgent:
Majority of northern christians are just like fulani

This is very wrong and untrue. Fulanis are known as troublemakers not just all over Nigeria but all over West Africa.

Donmedra:
but they speak Hausa as general language?

Only Jukuns speak Hausa as a 2nd language. Tivs do not. Violence is everywhere in Nigeria.

Okrika- Eleme crisis in Rivers and Ijaw-Itsekiri crisis in Delta state was worse than this.

Naajjii:
Since plateau shares border with Gongola, it's possible those ethnic people overlap into plateau.

No, Plateau was much more open. Plateau had some very early and better widespread contact with missionaries compared to Gongola. We also do not have special mountaineous areas. You are either on the Plateau or on the lowland. No large mountains on the lowland like you have in Adamawa. Everywhere was reached. Gongola is just too vast with a lower population density. Very very big land with too many interior areas.
The closeness of Bauchi also made sure some Plateau tribes were already exposed and trading widely before the colonialists came.

Besides Niger state have more interior lately reached areas just like Adamawa. Many tribes in Kainji axis kept worshipping idols and living uncivilized into the 21st century. I have a friend who is a missionary in Rafi, Rijau, Mariga, Agwara axis and surprisingly so many communities there never come across missionaries up until some years ago. Very interior areas.

Naajjii:
What is come to Taraba and Adamawa? Someone just found first hand evidence of you people wearing leaf and now you are trying to transfer it to Adamawa and Taraba people. Where in Taraba or Adamawa do they wear leaf ?

Nupeci. You know nothing about Gongola. Focus on Bida emirate. This area is neighbouring to my state.
Where were you when Koma people were discovered nakedd in Adamawa hills in Ganye LGA some years ago with leaves?
Ask natives of Adamawa they will tell you that there are some tribes who still live uncivilized on the moutains. Many mumuyes and other tribes of Taraba north started wearing clothes in the 80s and even up to the early 90s.

I know Gongola like the back of my hand.

GBOKASINCHA:
guy come maza village for plateau state come see as people still dey wear leaf like adam and eve for 2019

Oga take the lie easy na. What LGA is this village you are talking about?.
My mom comes from one of the most interior communities in Plateau state where it takes like 1 hour of driving before you reach the nearest tarred road, yet they have been wearing clothes there since before my mother was born in the early 70's.
So, what you are saying is absolute BS!

If you say Taraba or Adamawa now, we can believe, because up till the 80's and 90's people were still roaming nakedd especially in the mountaineous parts of these states.

sonnie10:
You are talking about phones, there are some places in far north where they haven’t seen clothes before

This is absolute rubbish. The last group of Nigerians to meet civilization were the Koma people of Adamawa mountains and that is almost 20 years ago.
No part of Nigeria do not have clothes or mobile phones. Take this from someone who has relatives from the most remote parts of the North.

Naajjii:
Wow so chairman you Berom only shi t lol. No wonder, Cannibalist , even Igbo people dont eat human meat. Funny how you keep labouring hard to figure out my race, if i disclose it, you will still claim we are invaders due to Burukutu effect, so no need just keep trying. Look at Jos your land , settlers displaced you, all the nice areas in Jos were built by settlers while you were on the mountains drinking burukutu, now you are coming to claim it's your land, Come and take it we are ready for you . Majority of you live in getto in Jos south, Cowards Burukutu drinkers. We sent your ancestors to go and fight the civil war, majority of you people fought the war. Biafrans will deal with you people in no time lol. You people lack vision , you can't see the future just drinking Burukutu.Most pleateau people don't even tolerate Berom people, besides you people are from South Sudan, those rebels dark chacole like people. I don't even want to go to the situation you people are currently going through. Crying to the world everyday , refugees all over and you are here claiming you are brave.
This is how Biafrans see you people here https://www.nairaland.com/5167468/yakubu-gowon-slumps-burial-david
Enjoy yourself

Hahahaha, do you know Jos at all? Everyone knows that Hausas are the ones who live in congested poverty ridden slums. This is because their communities evolved from the usual slums. Places like Angwan Rogo, Yan trailer, Rikkos, Gangare are all slums. The only reasonable place Hausas dominate is Bauchi road.
Now these are the finest and most classy places in Jos, Rayfield/Millionaires qtrs, AngloJos, Federal Lowcost, State Lowcost, British America, Rock haven... Tell me which one is dominated by Hausa fulanis.

Fulani herdsmen are cowards who come to attack, kill helpless women and children and run away into the forests. Why don't they stay back for the fight if they have the guts? Ask the Hausa fulani town dwellers what usually happens to them during normal city crisis.

And one thing people like you and fulanis don't know is that these fulani herdsmen help our people to purify our lands of Hausa fulanis and all manners islamic gatherings. Beroms have been the most attacked victims of fulanis, but whenever I pass through Berom land, I am proud of them. You will never find any single herdsman, cattles, muslims or mosques, they have all been cleansed away.

How I wished fulani herdsmen attacked Plateau indigenes like 30-40 years back, by now there would have been no single Hausa fulani or their likes on the entire Plateau state including Jos.
There were so many Hausa fulani muslims all over Barkin Ladi, Kuru, Bukuru and everywhere else before all these crisis began, where are they today?
Was that not how Hausa fulanis started flexing muscles in Zangon Kataf until they were eradicated from that town in 1992? And now in the entire LGA, hardly will you find anyone of them
So, between me and you, I actually wish more herdsmen attack.

Fulanis are now attacking Adara (Kajuru) people in Southern Kaduna. In the past when the Katafs & hausa fulanis were having it hot, Adara people were praised for being peaceful and welcoming and these ignorant Adaras were happy and you even hear some of these Adaras opening their mouths to call Katafs troublesome people. Today, dem nor born Hausa fulani make dem attack Zangon Kataf. They have fought their fight in the past and rid themselves of every Hausa fulani element.

So, I hope you see that crisis somehow helps our people? If not for the crisis in 2006 that saw to the complete cleansing of Hausa fulanis from Tafawa Balewa town, Sayawa people would never have gotten their own chiefdom and independence from Bauchi emirate, they would have still been ruled by a district head from Bauchi emirate.
If not for the 2004 Yelwa-Shendam crisis that saw to the complete razing down of Yelwa town, by now maybe Shendam LGA would have been 50/50 between indigenes and settlers. Kai.

Another thing is that this herdsmen battle is uniting our tribes. I don't want to waste time to go into details. It's just a matter of time for all the christian tribes from Southern Kaduna, Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba, Adamawa, Southern Gombe, South Bauchi and Southern Borno to unite as one. If this happens, maybe a civil war will erupt between us and Hausa fulanis that will see to the division of Nigeria. And guess what, the entire South will most likely support us than you jihadists.

You jihadists are too dumb to know that what doesn't kills one only makes him stronger.

If at all the lesson from the Igbos should teach Nigerians. Igbos were eradicated from civil service after the war, they lost all their money and everything, but today they are the most prosperous and enterprising ethnic group in Nigeria.

Lastly, I am very happy that Igbos are against Yakubu Gowon cos I myself am against him. That man is a sellout, he is only Plateau by paternity but a Hausa fulani at heart. I also wish him a terrible death because he is responsible for the woes of his own people and Nigeria at large. The average Plateau youth does not care about Yakubu Gowon, people like late Solomon Lar who stood for our interests are the ones we care about.

This fool thinks he can bring hatred between us and Igbos. My people and Igbos fight side by side in Jos and Kaduna against you jihadists, what do you want to tell me??

chiedu7:
How this man still supports one Nigeria after what the Fulani herdsmen have done to his state baffles me.

The Fulani herdsmen have kill many & taken over their villages.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/06/plateau-shocker-herdsmen-rename-communities-grabbed-indigenes/

Gowon was born and bred in Zaria and not Plateau. He has more of a Hausa fulani man's mentality. Take this from a Plateau person.

Naajjii:
Lol this burukutu drinker Igbo wannabe always jump at conclusion, being from Niger automatically makes one Nupe right or this is a case of burukutu reaction? This has already shown your Berom cannibalistic characteristic . Sorry I understand your frustration, life is like that not everybody can be majority , you are Berom minority and you get dominated upon. Work harder and try to change situation. But that won't be possible due to Burukutu.

Hahaha, the descendant of Burukutu drinkers is now rejecting his Nupe identity. Nupe is the superior indigenous tribe of Niger state, so it becomes worse if you are Gbagyi, Kakanda or Bussa, or worse still one of those fulani dominated and silenced tribes of Kontagora axis like Kambari or Dukawa

Beroms are Burukutu drinkers yet they are far more educated, richer and live better lives on average than the entire Niger state. They dominate Jos, one of the most developed cities in your monolithic north. Show me what your non burukutu drinking has offered you in life.

See who is talking about domination, Hausa fulani dominate your tribe/traditional institution, now they dominate the governorship in your state, what else?

Hahaha, I am now an Igbo wannabe?, the last time I checked you were the one forcing me to be an Igbo man. Can't you see how confused and shameless you are?? I am done with you 3rd class citizen of the caliphate.

Naajjii:
Lol frustrated as usual, the name Nigeria was derived from us , we had 2 president and thousands of Generals that charted the way forward for you. All of you looking for President including your IPOB brothers must visit Niger state for blessings. This fact is enough for you plus your fellow conquered race. Go and die chongai

Hahaha, Nupe man trying to attach to fulani history by force Neither Abdulsalami nor Babangida are true natives of Niger state, they are both Hausa fulani immigrants. Why don't you tell us what your own Nupe tribe has achieved? After typing this post, you still go back and bow to your fulani king (emir) in Bida.

This fool does not even know that Plateau tribes are even more ancestrally related to Hausa people. Many Plateau people speak Chadic languages and are of chadic origins (same with Hausa), yet we are not even interested in claiming anything related to Hausa achievements. It is this Nupe man whose culture is closer to Yoruba, Bariba, Ebira & Igala that is claiming Hausa fulani...

I hope you know that the founder of Nupe (Tsoede) was from Igala land? And most of Igalas claim Kwararafan origin and still pay their respect to Wukari? So what does that make you? A descendant of Burukutu drinkers right? It's such a small world afterall.

Besides what have the immigrant generals offered Niger state? Stark underdevelopment!
Minna is still as underdeveloped as a LG HQ in Southern Kaduna ... Nupes keep on migrating in droves to Kaduna and Jos to seek a better life. Mud houses dominate the streets of Bida
What a state to take pride in !

Naajjii:
Lol na wa for you Uncle, is this how frustrated you are. All you think of is war war after you will turn and start accusing muslims of war mongers.All your comments are about religion war. Like i told you , i do not feel your vibe anymore , I only get inspired by challenges from IPOB atleast they are stronger, you are already conquered race. Go and drink Burukutu.

Yes, because your actions fuel this war.

Already conquered race?, yet in your so called monolithic north which you control, so many areas are no go zones for you.
Jos & Kaduna are among the top 3 cities of the entire North (only surpassed by Kano), yet much of both cities are no go areas for you.

Tafawa Balewa town in the heart of muslim dominated Bauchi state is a no go zone for your likes.

Niger state tribes (perpetual slaves of the fulani caliphate) are the conquered race the last time I checked, not Plateau, not Southern Kaduna, not Taraba e.t.c tribes.

I stopped taking you serious as well, as soon as I discovered you were not even a fulani or even a 2nd class Hausa, but a 3rd class Nupe or whatever fulani conquered tribe you belong to.
The Igbos here have stopped answering you as well, go and call your fulani master or at least the 2nd class Hausa citizen of the caliphate. Nobody is interested in a 3rd class caliphate citizen boasting on the power or superiority of the caliphate. We want to challenge your masters and not you.

Naajjii:
Lol why didn't you also add how those your brothers (the religious crisis victims) were eaten by the same you people, you killed your brother's and ate their meat and you are proud.Or are you trying to deny that you didn't eat their meat? You already made me a kogi person, ha ha is that how you make assumptions here? So all your points were derived from assumptions.To help solve your mystery the state am from shares border with Fct , kogi and Kaduna.Hope that gives you a clue. And we do not recognise anything called Middlebelt, middlebelt is an extension of CAN as far as we are concern. Better go and engage your fore fathers for not been brave enough to resist any structure imposed by the British or caliphate. This world is survival of the fittest, if you are weak you get dealt with. White man came and took black people away for slavery this went on for about 500years. They came and colonize and still colonizing blacks.Why did that happen and still happening, because they are more fit ,organised and advanced.Weak and unorganised people can only cry of racism , marginalisation etc. while strong people do their thing and lead.That is the situation in Nigeria, you claim you are brave yet everyday you and IPOB people cry of marginalization etc.What have you done to change things? So try to be more advanced, fit and organised to undo any structure put in place by British or caliphate. Until you people can do that then you remain where you are, you can only rant and keep ranting. Your challenge is not even exciting to me anymore since I found out you are not one of those IPOBs. I like the challenge I get from dem Biafran People more, you know what am saying .

Your assumption was worse than mine Mr. At least I was very close to assuming the right place for you. I knew you were from somewhere in the North-central, unlike you who claimed that I was an Igbo man.

Which brothers are you talking of by the way? Islam teaches all muslims that infidels can never be their brothers, this is why a muslim will rather support a stranger who is a fellow muslim than support his own mother who is from another religion.

If you are from Niger state, good for you, at least that state has been completely overrun by the caliphate and all the tribes there remain perpetual fulani slaves for life especially the Nupes. But if you are from Nasarawa state, pray a religious crisis never affects Nasarawa because the muslims will suffer it more than the christians.

How does it affect you if people cry for marginalization? Such people have identified their problem and they are talking about it. Black south Africans cried for marginalization at first, but what happened afterwards? How about Black Americans?

Before the advent of social media, so many many lies had been spread unchallenged to mask the truth of history. Truths have been gradually exposed overtime and people are now becoming more aware.

It's only a matter of time till the truth permeates every one of the oppressed, gains a lot audience, mobilizes and unites the right people to fight for it's cause.

Shameless 3rd class citizen of the caliphate. Keep on supporting the fulanis from Senegal who came to conquer, destroy and humiliate your fore fathers, destroyed their culture and forced them into Islam.

Naajjii:
You know what now that am begging to believe you are from the northern axis, i wont engage you in a hot way anymore because I truely understand the pains and struggles of the Christians minorities in the north. I thought you are one of tbose Ipobs/ Biafrans here causing mischief. Am taking on those Biafrans because of personnal experience not that I hate them but due to the experience we had with them during Nnamdi Kalu. So you better stay off , let me try to understand these Biafra people more.

Lastly, today it is Biafran agitation, Yesterday it was Niger deltan agitation, tomorrow it may be Northern christians agitation. These things will keep on happening as long as a section of the country feel it is their birthright to dominate everyone else.

And woe betide Hausa fulanis the day the Biafrans, Niger deltans and Northern christians decide to come together and fight their common enemy. That day will surely come soon, I can bet you.

It's such a pity that nairaland has boxed the minds of people here to think everyone fakes an identity to make a point. Well, there are still sane people here.

You don't understand the pains of christian minorities of the north otherwise you won't be making the silly comments that you are making.

It's very obvious that you are from the middlebelt and you shamelessly go on campaigning for Arewa/Hausa fulani interests forgetting that when the chips are down, even you yourself would still be discriminated by these same Hausa fulanis.

And you see one thing you middlebelt muslims don't understand is that you guys will equally suffer from whatever problems Hausa fulanis cause in Nigeria... You guys are already suffering it more in fact, but your stupidity and slavishness to Hausa fulanis have made you loose your souls. Thank God for your Kogi state sha, religious crisis among yourselves would be very rare, especially among the Igalas & Okuns unlike Ebira land where muslims clash with traditionalists and kill themselves.

My ethnic group in Plateau state has so many muslims, infact half of my kinsmen are muslims, and they are very peaceful and non extremist muslims unlike Hausa fulanis, but do you know what? So many of them have been killed by religious crisis started by Hausas fulanis.

In many communities of Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Taraba and Adamawa, all the indigenous muslims have been chased out of their ancestral homes because of the problems Hausa fulanis caused! But go to Zaria, Kano, Katsina, indigenous Hausa christians are still on their ancestral lands.
In the 2008 Jos crisis, more Yorubas, Igalas, Ebiras e.t.c were killed in Jos than even Plateau indigenes. At first I wondered why, until I understood. This is because Yoruba Ebira & Igala muslims were attacked on both sides of the religious divides while their own christians were attacked on one side of the divide, as these people are usually like a 50/50 religiously.

Hausa fulanis who cause the trouble are only victims of one side of the divide, Igbos and indigenous christians are only victims of one side of the divide.

So you guys should keep on supporting Hausa fulani hegemony let us see where it will take you. Maybe by the time our entire region is engulfed in religious crisis/war one day and millions of middlebelt muslims are completely cleansed out of the region, you will come to your senses.

Naajjii:
Yes in some cases political dominance is not necessarily influenced by population. But in Nigeria situation , it does to a large extent. Examples abound. If Hausa is the minority in the north no way it will exact such influence as it does today. Likewise if Islam is the minority religion in the north it won't influenced thinking and decision in the north as it current does. States like plateau, Benue where Muslims are minorities they can't influence alot of things.
You people keep complaining British gave northerners advantage over south politically.
The question is how long will this complaint linger, British left us for almost 60yrs now. What have you or you igbo brothers done to correct the imbalance if there was any? British left Nigeria with arm forces filled with top Igbo Senior officers as majority. Go and do research and see. That itself was an advantage , is is not ? You people failed to utilise such advantage. You stage a tribal coup , elimiated officers and politicians of other ethnic groups especially northerners. A revenge coup was stage later on as a pay back, who started it in the first place? So what are you complaining about, that northerners are dominating when you failed to use your chance or rather you created the situation with that unfortunate coup.
The examples of Rwanda , Kashmir does not apply to Nigeria situation. Yes Belgium gave Tutsi advantage but what happened after Belgium left?
Was the first and second president of Rwanda Tutsi. Hutu been the majority took power back and Tutsi became rebels and refugees in Uganda. Go and read more about Rwanda.Tutsi's Paul Kegame was supported by Uganda govt lead by Moseveni till date the support is still there and of course western Nations.
Also Organisation, mentality and boldness plays part in dominance. If all you about is money and materialism then by ready to sell your conscience and culture for money. Some people due to excessive quest for money and materialism they get bought politically, later they will turn around that they are being unfairly treated when in the first place they sold their chance.

Yes, the British left, but the new nation Nigeria was founded on a foundation of injustice of the ills of the British and some of these injustices can only be corrected by war or crisis.

I gave you a clear example, till today, so many Northern minority tribes who were never conquered by the emirates are still under the emirates.

It was not until the 1987 kafanchan crisis, the 1992 Zangon kataf crisis and the 2001 sharia crisis that Southern Kaduna tribes gained their own chiefdoms. If not for these crisis, they would never have gotten this.

The British left the Northern protectorate as one region and divided the Southern protectorate into 2 regions to further divide the south. Why? Then lumped 75% of Nigerian minority groups under the Northern and forced them to be influenced by the caliphate in order to homogenize the Northern region, but never did this to the south. Even minority groups like Kogi, Benue and Kwara people who are purely yorubas were all lumped under the northern region in order to make it bigger and more intimidating.
To a large extent, these colonial definitions are still what defines identity and politics in Nigeria and you are asking people to get over this or correct it by themselves just like that?

Do not support the stupid politics of 'my fathers outsmarted your fathers, so it's your luck and you must live with the consequences or blame your fathers'. No.
Nigeria will never survive on injustice and it is up until a matter of time before it blows up affecting every one of us.
If our generation does not come together to correct these wrongs and ensure a more egalitarian society for our people where no one feels cheated or oppressed, then we will suffer the consequences.

Hahaha, good for you that you now admit that domination is not all about population. Wait, you are talking about Hausas being the majority in the north and dominating? The last time I checked, the fulanis and their descendants were the ones dominating and not the pure Hausas who have the largest population in the north. So, can I still hear you talk about population being the dominant factor of domination in Nigeria?
You better stop making a ridicule of yourself.

In Plateau, Beroms are the largest ethnic group, and have been so, since the seperation of Benue-Plateau in 1976, but they just got the chance to rule in 2007 through Jang, and with the way things are going, they may never rule Plateau state anymore, unless by luck.

Same thing in Taraba where the Jukuns are the majority, but they just got the chance to rule through Darius in 2015.
In Nasarawa, Eggons are the majority but never ruled till now because other tribes are ganging up against them sort of.

Indigenous muslims in Benue are almost non existent, they are like 2% of the state, only with communities in 1 LGA so it's not even a question of being a minority there.

In Plateau, Indigene muslims are like 10-15%, there are very many Hausa muslims but they are considered as settlers and their factor does not really play in the state politics.
Taraba is the only christian dominated state with a significant muslim minority.

Now I know someone like you will never accept that christians are actually the majority in Nasarawa and Adamawa states with about 60% of both states, but they actually are and I can prove this to you. Christians however do not dominate in these states because of some reasons.
At the time of carving out of Katsina state from Old Kaduna state, christians were actually the clear majority in Kaduna city and Kaduna state at large, and perhaps still the majority till now, but the political structure of Kaduna state was manipulated consistently to ensure that Hausas produce more senators, house of reps and house of assembly members in order to dominate the state.
This is where the issue of political structure to favour minorities actually come in.

Donald95:
Am not promoting violence o but i think what is what doing is worth doing well.

Why killing only their cows when they have been massacring your brothers and sisters?

Do you think the message was well sent? no my brother , It shows you people don't have the balls pass them

I am not in support of any of these killings, but I think these Irigwe people know that fulanis value their cows more than humans.

The average fulani man will prefer you kill all his wives and children than you kill all his cows. These are the kind of people they are. Very pathetic.

Naajjii:
Lol , this one is apparently frustrated. like I told you am still not convinced you are a northerner but it seems you are northern based, I get that Igbo innuendo from your post . Once again Hausa are the majority in the north so they dominate,that is not surprising, anywhere you are more in number you dominate.If you are less you become minority, the same Hausa / Fulani are minorities in Taraba, Plateau and they accepted it. Let me enlighten you a bit Most of those plateau and southern Kaduna speak hausa as first language, most cant speak their languages anymore because they adopted Hausa most of tgeir languages are going into extinction. It was not the caliphate that spread hausa that wide but the missionaries. Missionaries used hausa to spread christianity in the north. So if you got a problem with that go and engage the missionaries. Why didnt the missionaries use Igbo to do the same in tge south ? You tried to dominate the Niger Delta people it didn't work and now you are coming to me with that frustration. You ain't got no skill of governance buddy. You can labour a bit more to identify my race , you almost got it.

I do not even wish to be addressed as a northerner, so you can keep that classification for yourself. I am a middlebelter.

Did I ever argue with you that Plateau people speak Hausa very well? Yes we do, but we can never be Hausanized culturally or mentally because Hausa culture has been synchronized with islam and we are not muslims.

Talking about the spread of Hausa language in our region. They were many things that lead to this and not just the missionaries. Okay let's even talk about the missionaries. The caliphate and the British were the ones who forced the missionaries to use Hausa to evangelize our people.
The Sudan united missionaries who landed in Pankshin first wanted to use Angas language to evangelize our people, but the Caliphate/British coalition knew that if this happened, a new majority ethnic group will emerge in the North to rival Hausa fulani hegemony because all Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Nasarawa, Taraba e.t.c may start speaking Angas.

Slightly before the missionaries came, Hausa language had already started to spread in some of our areas due to trade. Bauchi tribes had already been conquered by the caliphate and we were their neighbours, so there was serious slave trade, salt trade, mat trade and other forms of trade going on in this axis and Bauchi was the link with the core north.

Hausa also has been taught in all our schools since colonial education. So it's not all about missionaries.

Yoruba and Igbo languages gradually spread among the minorities in the old Western & Eastern regions. This is why Yoruba language is very common among the smaller Edo tribes of Edo north and Igbo language was very common among the Okrika (Ijaw) people of Rivers.

Another factor is that Southern minority ethnic groups are larger than Northern minority ethnic groups, so the spread of a foreign language among the Southern minorities was more difficult than areas of the middlebelt like Southern Kaduna, Plateau or Adamawa where in some cases every village speaks a different language and has a different culture.

Lastly the British used the caliphate for indirect rule in the North, but such never existed in the south.

Imagine the whole of Southern Kaduna (except Jaba & Kagoro) was under Zaria emirate not until few decades ago. Did Zaria ever conquer Southern Kaduna tribes? Hell no, that never happened.
They wanted to force my own Plateau people under Bauchi emirate like they did to Southern Kaduna but thank God most of our tribes heavily protested and rejected it, hence they had to give us our own native authority.

Till today, the entire Southern Borno and half of Adamawa tribes are still under fulani emirate rule. When did fulanis conquer Buras, Marghis, Kibakus, Kilbas, Yandangs, Gandas, Kamwes (the Mandara mountains) e.t.c?

Fulanis only displaced some of them with war, but most of these tribes were never under any direct form of fulani rulership before the British came. In fact some tribes like Batta (Bwatiye) people who were displaced from Yola kept on attacking and regrouping to attack Yola and Yola was suffering serious casualties from their attacks before the British came.

So much injustice to Northern/middlebelt minorities. So don't come here to explain nonsense Mr man.

It was not the caliphate that spread hausa that wide but the missionaries. Missionaries used hausa to spread christianity in the north. So if you got a problem with that go and engage the missionaries. Why didnt the missionaries use Igbo to do the same in tge south ? You tried to dominate the Niger Delta people it didn't work and now you are coming to me with that frustration. You ain't got no skill of governance buddy. You can labour a bit more to identify my race , you almost got it.

You really don't know how the world works. This makes me think you must still be a teenager under your mother's roof.

Tutsi were the minority in Rwanda at the time of independence from Belgium and even worse after the genocide, but they dominated the politics and power of Rwanda since then till now, why?
This was because the Belgians saw the Tutsis who were of cushitic descent to be more civilized than the Hutus who were of pure Bantu ancestry even though both ethnicities spoke the same language. So, the Belgians left the Tutsi minority to be in charge of Rwanda. Of course I don't need to tell you that this was what led to the genocide.

Another example, in Indian administered Kashmir, the muslims have been the overwhelming majority, but the Kashmiri Hindu Pandits held all the power there because they were being favored by the Indian central govt of course because of their religion. If you know world politics and history, you know what later happened to the Kashmiri Hindus? They were cleansed from Kashmiri valley.

Lastly, in most Latin American countries, the overwhelming majority of the population are Mestizo/Mulatto (mixed race), but who calls the shots in these countries? The white elite class of course. This was the legacy left by the Iberian colonial masters.

So my friend, go and read a book. Political domination is not always about being a majority!

but why isn't Hausa,allow as president? Why only Fulani?

The today's definition of who a hausa and who a fulani is has become very obscured. Buhari for instance claims to be a fulani man, but he speaks no fulfude nor practices any fulani culture. He is a Hausa man culturally and linguistically. It's just like the fulanis of Ilorin who will say they are fulanis but show possess no fulani culture or language, they have been completely yorubanized.
Fulanis of the North-west have been Hausanized and hardly do you find any fulanis of the north-west without Hausa bloodline. You can mostly find pure Hausas in the rural areas of the Northwest. Otherwise most Hausa elites or middle class Hausas have been heavily mixed with fulani blood that they themselves can claim to be fulanis for prestige. That is the way it is in the North-west. The true pure fulanis are the herdsmen and fulani gida of the North-east.

How can Nigeria ever progress when a huge percentage of the country is occupied by these kind of stark illiterates?? Hausa fulani backwardness is like a cancer to Nigeria.

Excaperx:
wow thanks so much for this

Don't mind all these Hausa fulani wannabes. They have allowed fulanis to use religion to completely brainwash and confuse them to accepting inferiority to the caliphate. Very shameless race of people.

We in Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Taraba e.t.c will never submit to the caliphate or sing fulani or stupid and useless Arewa superiority praises. Imagine the stupid Ebira koto man.

Even indigenous muslims from Plateau and Bauchi tribes who have been heavily hausazined are still highly discriminated by Hausa fulanis let alone this Akpoto from Kogi state. @ Naajjii

I have gone through your profile. Naajjii, you are not a Hausa man. You are a Kogi man who has probably lived most of your life in Hausa land and by that you are now a Hausa wannabe.

I know your likes. But it's such a pity that you guys just choose to be slaves of fulanis just like that. Same fulanis who came together with Nupes and ravaged Ebira land, killing thousands of your people all in a bid to force you into islam. Same fulanis who forcefully humiliated the Attah of Igala by removing his cap when he went to a meeting with core northern traditional leaders.

No wonder you kept queit when I reminded you what the Hausa fulanis usually do to your people during religious crisis. Kogi, Nupe, Auchi, Alago and Yoruba muslims are hunted down and killed like rabbits during religious crisis in Kaduna, Jos & Kano, because your people are seen as fake muslims.

In Kaduna and Jos, you people run to we Plateau and Southern Kaduna christian indigenes for protection, in Kano, you run to Igbo domimated Sabongari for protection from your so called hausa muslim brothers, what a shame!

Naajjii:
Lol , this Iyamiri no go kill person o. All those mai suya and the rest are from Niger republic besides make good money, clean money unlike you people. What skills do you have other than dubiousness for example baby factory where you hold innocent girls hostage get them pregnant keep producing babies for money rituals, fake drugs etc.
Did you see the porn nude video posted by your leader Nnamdi Kalu from Europe ? Are you proud of that?

See this one. Do you want to tell me nonsense? I speak hausa fluently and I know the Hausas, fulanis and Zarmawa who are from Niger republic. I can clearly differentiate them from Katsinawa, Kanawa or Zazzagawa, do you think I am a southerner who don't know the difference in Hausa accents?

I prefer Igbos to you stinking filthy roadside begging almajiri and illiterates. There are many bad Igbos, yes but the good, enlightened, social and progressive Igbos are more in numbers.
Show me any good thing Hausas bring to any where they go apart from baranci, almajiranci, Talauci, shan kwaya and all manners of backwardness.

Naajjii:
It just natural situation, Hausa are the majority in the north and they got the skills therefore they dominate. It doesn't matter if they are the poorest or less educated. How about this- you people that claimed you are more educated and advanced why are the less educated Hausa giving you hard time. Everyday you people must cry of marginalization or one form of oppression by the northerners atleast. What quality of education or advancement is that?
If you are truly from plateau let me suggest something that will help you people. Your weakness is drinking. Minimise how you drink especially your men .You people drink alot particularly burukutu. This is one of your weakest point.

Wait oo, I didn't even see the part where you said Hausas have the skills. What skills do Hausas have? Mai shayi, Mai suya, Mai Ruwa skills? The Mai Aya, Mai Rake, Mai Albasa and all the manners of wheel barrow hawking? Which skills abeg.

You are not ashamed to claim that the people you are dominating are far more educated and living richer lives on average than you are.

The only reason Plateau people complain is because of insecurity. How do we complain of marginalization when Hausas are not indigenes of our state?

Burukutu is better than Kwaya. Go and teach your people to stop shayi shayi. Dirty stinking poverty ridden illiterates. Street beggars majority my foot.

Naajjii:
I understand the frustration, he is a northern minority. He is feeling the hit of being a Minority in the north. You need to get this - Where a minority becomes a majority they also dominate,in this situation Hausa/ Fulani is the majority in North so it dominate. If you break it down further For example in Benue state Tiv is the majority tribe , it has been dominating the Idoma , igede,Jukun and others. In Kogi Igala is the majority it has been dominating Ebiras and others,In plateau and Taraba Christians are the majority and have been dominating governance. Therefore it's a natural situation that Hausa are dominating the north based on numbers so you need to appreciate this natural process. South wards the Igbos despite their numbers tried in the past to dominate the minorities in Niger delta especially but failed because they lack the leadership skills and tolerance . They have now turned the frustration into attacking Hausa people and the north.

Being a minority in the North? What has being a so called majority added to the life of the average Hausa fulani in Nigeria? Are your people not still the poorest and most illiterate and suffering people in Nigeria?

The north is not a government of it's own, so I don't see how my state Plateau is under the domination of Hausas or Fulanis.

Use your majority status to help your almajiris and beggars all over the streets of Nigeria.

Naajjii:
Who dash you middlebelt, you sound like an Igbo.

Hahaha, anyone who does not support Hausa fulanis and their religious jihad is automatically Igbo.

What makes you think a Northern or middlebelt christian will not share the same views against the core north in a Nigeria of today with all that has been going on?

Go through my profile since I joined nairaland since 2013 and see if I became a middlebelter just for this post.

Naajjii:
Lol here is another frustrated one , you are a minority just accept that fact nothing that can be done about it.From the bolded there is unity atleast, even if it's temporary for politics, why can't you in the South copy that and have a temporary political unity among yourselves instead of complaining about marginalization and Islamisation, everyday. During Obasanjo a Christian you people were crying, yar dua same thing , Jonathan the cry was very loud and now Buhari is here crying continues. Why can't you organise yourselves and take charge? Am trying to help you people in my little way because we are tired of your complaints.

I am not from the south, I am from the middlebelt.

Naajjii:
Ha ha you are obviously frustrated. But why are you people always complaining north north knowing fully well that north is big and has more ethnic groups. Are you people in the south not the ones complaining the loudest ? Why is it that a Kanuri or babur man on the extreme north East is ok with an Hausa man on the extreme west , see themselves as brothers for most part ? But in your situation in the South an Igbo man on the east will always complain that a Yoruba on the extreme west is dominating and fighting themselves, we see alot on this platform. Kanuri is to Hausa in the north what Igbo is to Yoruba in the South. But they are United.
Yes am a Muslim, what about it?what is religion doing here, why can't you Make your point without reference religion? Islam has come to stay and it is fast expanding if that is a problem then am sorry you have to deal with it.

CyynthiaKiss is very correct. Unity among the north is a mirage.
You can say there is unity among Northern muslims but northern christians can never be included in that nonsense unity.

Kanuris and Baburr muslims and other minority tribes muslims are only united with Hausa fulanis when it comes to the politics of we northern muslims versus the southern infidels otherwise, there is no real unity there. Hausas are forbidden from leading Kanuris in prayers in mosques in Maiduguri.

Hausa fulanis call muslim minority tribes as 'Kabila' and still discriminate them, unless that minority muslim can speak Hausa as fluent as a native speaker and has pure islamic names.

No matter the bad blood between Yorubas and Igbos, hardly do you hear them kill each other, but why don't you talk about how Igala, Nupe and Ebira muslims are killed by Hausas during religious crisis in Kano, Kaduna or Jos, calling them fake muslims or 'Tubebe' (muslim converts)??

Your useless and fake monlithic north is becoming very obvious to all and it's just a matter of time before we northern minorities especially the christians unite ourselves, rise up and say enough to this nonsense.

The only reason why the north seems more united is because Hausa fulanis are the only majority group while the south has 2 majority groups.
