Fulaman198: Well for some reason I kind of want us to rule in Guinea, I don't know why bro. Do you think Guinea would rise if a Fulani person rules?

I know they will do everything to develop the country and be self reliant. Their presence on every corner of the globe will boost trade once they are allowed to establish industries without government interference. The main reason most Fulbe want one of us to rule is because they truly believe that we can do a lot better. Fulbe won't be shy to remind one of theirs of his mistakes, even if it is for the sake of avoiding "Hersa".

Here is a song from one of the most popular Malinke singer, named Sayon Camara for Hal Pulaar people. Some like these are common.

In the pre Colonization era, Malinke singers used to compose song for Futa rulers. It is from one those dedicated to Alpha Yaya Diallo, the last resistant to french colonialism that our national anthem was derived from. This following song is dedicated to Alpha Molo Balde who founded the Fouladou kingdom.

Fulaman198: Hmmm that's very interesting. I agree with you seeing as both the Guinean and Malian Fulas are surrounded by Mande (Bambara in Mali) and Malinke + Susu in Guinea. Is there any particular reason why the Mande people don't like the Fulas there?

Competition for power is the main reason. Besides politics we do get along. Most Guineans speak or understand Fula, Maninka and Susu, that goes to tell you how close the families are. "La Guinee est une famille" is a popular slogan.
But Fulbe now want to take over the political power and the Mande feel like we should be content with economic power and of course we don't want to. My friends tell me all the time that Fulbe want to dominate Guinea and the surrounding region.

I think Guinean and Malian Fula have their music influenced a bit by the Mande who have a strong musical culture. They have entire lineages of griots. Many of them immigrated to Futa Jallon to offer their services to the Almamys. They constituted groups of Djelis and most Fula musicians come from those or have been influenced by them. It's only recently that "real" Fulbe started to get into music. I remember growing up, my grandmother would not let me sing, she used to say "Pullo Yimata" .

do you see the class I was talking about?

axum: Does it matter how many? When you are clearly presented with overwhelming evidence that the picture you posted is not Fulani, you should take it down and stop pretending they are Fulani when they are not.

Anyone can tell those women you posted were Somali/Ethiopian. By your own standard of Beauty you believe that the Cushitic look is the model standard of Beauty for Africans.

You need to go back to school and this time make sure you follow instructions. Where do you live ? So I can contact immigration services to ship you back to Mogadishu.

axum: I just asked you to take her picture down, because you advertise her as Fulani when in fact she is Somali. I don't have a problem with the picture just that you are telling people she is fulani when she is Somali.

If your gonna create a thread about how good looking Fulani women are, try to use Fulanis and not Somalis/Ethiopians/Eritreans.

I can link many sites showing she is Somali, look at her clothing, its Somali. But you want to pass her off as Fulani, because you can't find enough good-looking Fulanis. Thats sad.

You definitely are a troll. I will ask you one last time, dozens of picture have been posted here, of all of them have you found more than four that you recognize as Somali or Ethiopian?

.

ax

axum: She is somali, she is wearing somali wedding clothes. i have posted her picture many times on here. I think those fula people posted her picture saying she is fulani, but i can assure you she is Somali. I think you already know she is Somali, but you are trying to save face because you have been caught.
Plus Kenyanlady already mentioned other Somalis and ethiopians pictures being passed off as being Fulani.

Look at her clothing. She is Somali end offf.... take her picture down.

yea I saw what Kenyalady posted and Bororojo has already responded by telling her that the person posting the picture is not Fulani so there is room for confusion. Funny thing is, I have not seen a person from Ethiopia ask for the pictures to be taken down. It's always the wannabe that act all wild.
I tried to go on your blog, and there was a "phishing" alert. I don't know if you know what that is, look it up on google if you don't.
Have you seen any other picture out of the dozens posted her besides those three or four that aren't Fula?
Finally, take down the picture yourself if you don't like or go call the girl to come claim it. Until then, the picture stays, understood?

Fulaman198: I'm sorry that most of our music is autotuned, that's why I stick to musicians from Niger and Mali. I think the best Fulbe music comes from Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger anyways. What is your opinion on that?

I mostly listen to Futa Jallon and Senegal. I am starting to grow interest in Mali, a country full of culture.

axum: That first girl in the green is Somali. How pathetic you are trying to use Somalis to make your people appear to be beautiful.

oh really? I found her picture on Fula page. Besides her, have I posted any other Somali girl?
But wait a minute, how do you know she is Somali? Her face is too full to be a Somali, she actually eats. By the way , I wanted to ask, are you living in Somalia? They just killed the head of Al Shabab, you better watch out if you are there. We wouldn't want to loose you.

Fulaman198: Go here and take your pick my brother, mainly Adamawa Fulani songs:
http://www.youtube.com/user/cashmire10/videos

I like this one particularly. I could understand most of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNrTUlx_DwQ&list=UULhuglsaOqUG0198cI8LuDQ&index=19

who else would you recommend for me besides Baba Sadou and her?

Fulaman198: Very good question. Apparently she does I guess lol. I like her song "Hello". You are right though that we can cross the border back and forth. Although these days......I'm not too sure about that.

Just watch the clip, LOL ALL real Fulbe girls pay attention to "refined" manners. The dancers and her are so "classy."

Fulaman198: Yah Rougaya is actually from my hometown area Mayo Belwa, Adamawa, Nigeria and not from Cameroon. Though people always claim that she is Cameroonian, she's actually Nigerian.

Well I suppose you guys can cross the border and go back and forth. Does she spend most of her time in Cameroon?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMMuubO2e50

Just discovered this lady Rougaya, her songs are similar to the ones I hear at weddings. Plus they "make it rain" in Cameroon too , just like us.

Division of labor is what advances a nation/people. Skills in various fields such as engineering, science, technology, law etc... need to be developed. Now the question is how do we do this and still be ourselves. Well I have thought of it, without pretending to have a definite answers, I think our language and culture need to introduced into main stream culture like movies, trade, music, writing poetry and multiplying cultural events at local schools to encourage our kids to embrace their culture. What Bororojo said about him being Governor of Taraba state and pushing for the language is the right idea. He won't probably impose it upon everyone but introducing it in the curriculum will do great good.
As far as cattle rearing, I am a proponent of ranches. Our Fulbe bororo brothers should build partnerships and start to settle. The scarcity of land will only increase and conflicts with farmers will amplify if we don't do it. It has an economic side to it too. Once you settle, you can spend a portion of time working and the other taking care of the cattle. You increase your revenue and the kids go to school. A whole new industry of dairy products could rise and with it our community will have a constant supply of resources to improve our conditions. It will be in sort our "cash cow". This is what Fulbe of Guinea have chosen. But we still need to improve the ranches, build more training schools and educate the diaspora about investing in businesses, not just building houses that nobody inhabit for most of the year.

I follow politics a lot specially Guinean, Senegalese and Nigerian politics. Like I know Nigerian history from the independence struggle with figures like Awo and the Sardauna.
You know our people are great in numbers and we have a strong culture that help us thrive in harsh environment. We should not seat back and assume second roles in the political affairs of the countries we live in even if we are a minority.

RPG Arc en Ciel is the party of Conde, it's a coalition with smaller other parties. UFDG is that of Sellu.

Bororojo: Omarbah, is there anywhere i can get the full report on the results of the legislative elections?

Here is a link for the electoral commission
http://www.ceniguinee.org/legislatives2013_resprov_doc_02.pdf

Bororojo: loool.... Ok then.
when we both become governors, we will work together on a lot of issues...
those Fulani grazing reserves will be expanded to 10 times their current sizes.... lol

why not choose ranches instead?

Bororojo: Here i found it.....
first round, when there were many candidates from all across the country, everyone was too busy voting their ethnic groups. The Fulani emerged victorious by an extremely wide margin (44%).... unfortunately they were just short of the 50% needed to avoid a run-off election by a tiny margin.... Even won Conakry and Kindia in the first round. (that tells a lot)

second round/ run off , when only the Fulani and the Malinke candidate (who actually came second and actually loosing to sellu by a wide margin, only managing to garner 18.2% of the votes.) remained in running.... before everyone knew what was happening, it became Fulani vs THE REST OF GUINEA..... look at the second map, everyone voted against Sellu, except Fouta.

Conakry and Kindia have a large percentage of Fulbe. Kindia has almost become a Fulbe town since the MP from the region is of Sellu's party. People from that city tend to speak or at least understand Pulaar.
They really did us dirty in 2010 even some of my close friends turned their back on me. It's like everybody was plotting in secret to do everything to avoid Sellu coming to power. But like we say, Janfa wonda e nafa. Now days those regretting his election the most are those that voted for him. You know I bet even in Nigeria, Fulanis hate relying on government. So good or bad government, we still fend for ourselves. Plus the Susu have smaller members of the government compared to Fulbe. They are starting to turn their backs on Conde now and many are joining Sellu's party.
Some Susu actually voted for Sellu despite Conde winning the majority of their votes. They are the same ones joining the opposition today. That's why Conde lost the legislative elections in Conakry and Kindia.
Actually Conde is making a push in Futa Jallon, it's like they want to "make up" after the back stabbing. He has realized that nobody can run Guinea without us whether we vote for you or not.

Bororojo: Guinea is an interesting case.
It is about 45% Fulbe.
the rest are various Mande groups.......

It's actually about 40% I think. The lack of statistics make it hard to find an exact number. Nobody wants to do a census about the ethnic groups. Things can get quickly out of control.

Bororojo: How interesting, because in the East, the bush Fulbe are also the least religious Fulani.... even till now....
Yes, I knew that the Jallon stood for the Jallonke, an aboriginal people of FJ. They are a Manden people, right?

they are, like everyone else in Guinea who are ganging up on us, but it's all good. Fulanis perform better under attack.

Bororojo: As we speak Fulfulde is the most widely spoken indigenous language in all of Cameroon and it is still expanding. A lot of other peoples have learnt and mastered the language..... Guinea and Cameroon make me a proud Pullo.

that's the way to go. Once you bring into trade, and main stream media, the language becomes unstoppable. They do have a few rich Fulbe up there in Cameroon don't they? I know Ahmadou Danpullo and Mohammadou Abbo Ousmanou or Fadil.

Bororojo: Wait a minute....
does the highlighted mean the same thing as Fulbe/ Pullo Bororo??
because it means the exact same thing in Fudnaange I am surprised you people actually have that word.

it does mean bush fulanis LOL, the Islamists from Mali and Senegal labelled them that way because they were reticent to embrace Islam and were ready to fight along with Jallonke.
Did you know that Jallon stands for Jallonke? The people that use to dominate the area before the Fulbe took it?

Bororojo: I believe you are from Senegal?
I dont know about you area, but in my neck of the woods, the nomads and their recent descendants are the Purest Fulanis (that includes myself and my close and distant people)....... The only place where I have found equivalents are some other parts of Nigeria/Cameroon, and Fouta Djallon. (Althugh Fouta Djallon Fulbe dont have true nomads anymore, i wonder why) I was speaking to this Pullo from Guinea, and i shared with him a picture of a Nomad with his cows.... and he said "Oh I am so proud", this is the depiction of our ancestors and roots"
I was like uhhhm..... you realize this pic is from 2014 bro?

When the Islamists took over Futa Jallon, the Poulli or Fulbe Burure (bush fulanis) were push toward the South. I was also surprised when I learned that fulbe were all the way at the border with Liberia. They engage in trading with Liberians and Sierra Leonese for the most part.
Fulbe in Futa Jallon tend to have ranches. A lot of modernization needs to be done with them though.

Bororojo: Look at their statures/ bodies of the ladies- who is more endowed?? --- Infact forget about facial beauty for now.
this notion that Fulani women are all scrawny isnt entirely true, but then again.... what if they all were... so what?
our own will always be our own .....

that's right, no matter what.

Fulaman198: Lollllll how can you stand Nigerian music? It's just an imitation of western popular music neddo pulam.

LOL you think? Not all of it is copying. They have some distinctive African styles like the song Nek Unek , it's African. Pakuromo of Wizkid and Skelewu (the song not the video) are Afrobeats too. P Square are the ones that really go full western, like their recent song, I don't like it.
You can't walk into an African parties without hearing Nigerian songs. You guys are taking over.

Omexonomy: Most of the threats gej is recieving ar mostly from the fulani and awusa and their Yoruba slaves. They have promise that untill they dip the koran into the atlantic ocean nigerian will be a hell of place.
Hell rufia took it futher to use a swear word on anybody who takkles or kill the fulani cattles rusttlers for eating and destroying their farmland.

Now why would you go on using words like "slaves" to describe a fellow countryman or an African for that matter? Haven't we learn to treat each other with respect and dignity?
Fashola the governor of Lagos, isn't he Muslim? So hasn't the Quran "been dipped into the Atlantic Ocean" already. Half of Yoruba land is Muslim.
The only reason why those herdsmen are seen as the bad guys is because they do have people in the press, it is always a one sided story. Nobody ever mentions the attacks and mistreatment they go through. The media only mentions their retaliation.

Bororojo: ^^ Hausa has moved beyond just a "tribal language"
that is why it is getting all the media attention...... At least An African language is getting developed... I am happy in that sense.

Me too, it is admirable. The fact that Yoruba who tend to retain their culture are also appreciated in the US goes to tell you that Westerners only respect you after you show love and respect for your culture.
I listen to Nigerian music all the time, musicians like wizkid or davido never put out a song without singing Yoruba, I like that.
