Fulaman198:
Fellata is the word Arabs in Sudan call us. Why is this bros? I watched that video I linked earlier in full. It was interesting.

Do you have it in english? I tried watching it but it was in Arabic.
There are people on Saudi Arabia with the last name Fellata actually.
I think it means west African muslims, most of whom being Hausa and Fulanis. I am not sure though.

Bororojo:
Lmao......
I am throuwing that question right back at you.... got a hooked nose bro?

Narrow and a bit pointy, not like caucasian pointy but fulani type lol

Fulaman198:
Yeah it has everything to do with the climate. Fulbe in the deep Sahel like in Mali, Niger and even Chad tend to have less variety in skin tones due to the more arid climate.

The few from Massina that i have met are light skinned but I suppose you have seen more of them.

Fulaman198:
So you like the lighter skinned sisters

Not necessarily, it is not a primary criteria but I just noticed, most Adamawa girls posted here are light skinned.

Fulaman198:
Gonga ma sakike am (bandam). A yidi Pullo debbo Adamawa?

Hiihi mido yidi rewbe Adamawa ben, be labaa, be woodi be rawni pen .

Fulaman198:
Debbo ko jawdi @ OmarBah

That guy is one lucky fellow. May Allah bless their marriage

A haali googa, dembo ko jawdi, ko dembo wonni fii Leñol.

Fulaman198:
Debbo am (joking)

Ehhh Allah, ko hondhoun mi Waɗaata? lol
I wish our two regions were connected...

Fulaman198:
Debbo pullo mo leydi Nayjeria

Whats the occasion?
Where do you find these sisters, Abuja ?

Fulaman198:
Good one bro, Finatawa just means tradition in Eastern Fulfulde, is that the same way you say it in Fouta Djaloore?

The same exact word.

Fulaman, you got me hooked on finatawa

Sycophancy, stupidity, and vacuous pomposity are the reasons why the country is stuck in abyss. You don't even need to look further than the pictures of the guys on the frontline, to know that they're ill-equipped and on a suicide mission, in a war they can't win, with the way everything is. They basically look like those militants - apart from the army fatigue, with no superiority whatsoever. The militants also have an advantage based on numbers, and not fighting conventionally. Evidently, when you're outnumbered by folks with the same hardware, coming from angles you don't expect - how can you win? The morale is also low.

I feel sorry for those guys. If not for poverty, I don't think any sane person should enlist in the Nigerian army - that's a suicide mission. Just take a look at the military gears and shake ya head in disgust. No modern aircraft for air superiority. No modern tanks.
No surveillance. No intelligence. Etc.

@bolded, most important in this conflict. If Chad does a good job in Northern Cameroon, I hope the Nigerian military will learn from them. One thing is certain, Chadians are good in the desert that's why their country was always able to hold Gadafi's forces and even Al Qaeda. I don't know how good they will do in the forests though.

SirShymex:
Lol, don't mind the emotional guy.

Nigeria created the monster. The monster is spreading to other countries, and these folks are trying to defend themselves against this monster. Yet the mofo is blaming them and accusing them of jealousy.

I have never read anything as illogical as what he posited. What an absolute tripe!

it's scary to see this, think about it, how many advisers to the President might be telling him the same thing?
That Boko Haram is supported by foreign government, jealous of Nigeria's economic growth. The army has been
nonchalant about this issue which has boosted confidence in the ranks of the thugs and now they think they can spread their
madness to the whole region.

Litmus:
Coons going to do their French master's bidding. Funny thing is, in my Afrocentric days, Caribbeans and African Americans always were puzzled by why blacks appeared to be at the bottom of the pyramid of humanity. Slavery often puzzled them. They wondered how Europeans were able to so easily subdue Africans if Africa was a place of lost civilization as some of their intellectuals posit in all those wonderful Blacks ruled Egypt type literature. Those that accepted that Africans sold one another to European Slavers never could encapsulate in their minds how this could take place.Those that didn't accept this argument, had to contend with all sorts of hypothesis but never could settle on satisfactory explanations. Well, what is happening to Nigeria, how she is being betrayed by Africans and despised by Africans, including Caribbeans and African Americans themselves, for essentially standing tall and dispelling all of the white-mans theories of so called backwardness and inferiority of peoples of African origin compared to other so called races, is worthy of study. And yet no one is studying this. What is happening to Nigeria is living history of the stupidity of the African. It is a living illustration of how slavery could take hold and evolve in Africa into the fullest expression of human fallibility and yet no Afrocentric recognizes what is going on let alone write about it. Instead, out of share jealousy they tacitly support and want the worst for Nigeria.

A word to Nigerians:

Behold your brothers racing to Cameroon in preparation for you. Its no Melodrama. In spite of protestations the black man is never more content than when he is the pet animal of other races. If you're of the same color as the Black man and refuse to crawl like a servile creature, as he wants to be, he will despise you and join his white masters to hunt and slaughter you.

I've been stating for a long time that those peoples' you share the continent with are craven, sneaky coons and you shouldn't continue to make fools of yourselves by calling them brothers. Nigerians, build Nigeria and forget them. And for -expletives!!!- find some way to control your borders or you'll have nothing whether you remain Nigeria of form little vulnerable pies of Nations.

it amazes me how some Nigerians like yourself on this forum, out of some twisted logic find a way to accuse "other" African for Boko Haram. You reject totally the failure of the Nigerian army. Nigeria is made of hard working people. It is a vast country, well populated that can be a world power but only if Nigerians are able to recognize their faults and act on, the same applies to other Africans.

Oh, yes. It was actually US President John Quincy Adams who granted him his freedom at the request from the Sultan of Morocco at the time(makes you wonder what kind of enslaved man would possess THAT kind of clout with those connections.) The issue of him returning to the Jallon must of been urgent for him and his american-born wife to leave their child who, to be fair, were adults at the time, in Mississippi. His descendants still meet up in Natchez every year for their family reunion. Omar Ibn Said was from the Futa Toro but never made it back. Yarrow Mamout was another fula who was emancipated from slavery and managed to carve out a successful life as a business owner and homeowner in Maryland.

In an article written by plantation owner and ethnographer James Hamilton Couper, he goes into detail describing the Fulanis on his and other nearby Georgia plantations, as being remarkably intelligent and devout muslims. It's safe to say that the enslaved fulanis, in general, did what they could to maintain their integrity in such a harsh environment.

Wow nice to see that they still remember him, now are they MUslims if you don't mind me askng?
You know what, we can actually try to promote Fulani language among African Americans that are willing to learn.
It is nice to read these articles about the past from time to time. Yarrow Mamout is an example to follow, he rose up the rank by his ability to understand the world around him. That's what is called in the Fulani code called Pulaaku, Hakkile( intelligence, shrewdness, being able to adapt and take advantage of whatever situation you are in).

axum:
@ bolded, slip of the keyboard tells your subcouncious thoughts, which I agree

Seems like you have issues understanding too, man

Supper:
Already got it covered. I've made post that go in detail in the ways in which fulanis have influenced cowboy culture as well as other aspects of AA and general American culture here, and in previous comments on that thread.

I knew about Omar Ibn Said and prince Abdul Rahman who actually from the same region as me, Futa Jallon. He actually went back to Africa, Liberia to be precise but never reached Futa. He died before. Oh how he could have told us secrets of western society back lol, we would have built a stronger economy in Futa to prepare for the French. But one day inshallah, one day...
I guess the few Fulanis that came to Us stayed true to their culture and religion. Hey, cattle herding is a lot easier than plantation work.

axum:
Maybe the Bantu dating experience is different, but I was in no way flirting with her, I am not into Negroids.

lol, take my advise walaalkiis and get married. Now if you like Nayah, you are going to work a bit harder.
Bantu women are strong man, I don't know if you can handle that much womanhood .

Fulaman198:
Where are OmarBah and Bororojo?

Here brother

Supper:
Many regards to the Puular/Fula/Fulani people for passing down to us our cool cowboy culture, rich fife and drum music tradition, timeless blues fife instrument, and many other significant aspects of our culture and genetic lineage, as well as some of the most note-worthy and well documented of our African ancestors in America, such as Ibrahim Ibn Sori- "The prince among slaves".

Could you elaborate more on this subject brother? I've heard many people relate cowboy culture in the states to Fulanis.

axum:
What are you talking about? Who said anything Arabs? Self Projection again eh? You need a big one in you in order to ease your stress.

Humm Axum, you are so into Nayah lol, no wonder you were asking for her. You need to step your game up brother. You can't play hard and except kindness from the ladies.
My advice to you, get married. The lack of female attention is affecting you greatly.

Bororojo:
What dialect is it in?

It is all of them . That's what the description says.

This could be used to promote the language in Naija and throughout west Africa.

Fulaman, here is another traditional song, Mamaya as we call them,in Guinea:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdn84dvP0EQ

Na'i ko jawdi

And these sisters here too should be from Somalia according to Axum

Hey bororojo I guess the two here are also somali lol

Fulaman198:
OmarBah, this is a traditional Song from Adamawa in the Adamawa Fulfulde dialect (Adamawaare), I think you will love it:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuV_0IhzjMk&

this is the best from the Adamawa songs on here, no autotune and I can understand most of it.
Indeed, Nagge ko jawdi

Fulaman198:
We marry anyone who loves us, but we must maintain the culture. BTW what is it with Fulani women selling us out once they go to the west? Not often but it happens sometimes they go with whites mainly and sometimes black Americans or British

I have only seen a few here that do that but they are mostly married to Muslims. The thing is some Fula men go all the way back to Africa to get married which leaves many other girls available.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqn_5VgJk8

Fulaman,
Here is a song for you, it's more traditional.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2--rXf0nDL8

Bororojo:
Yeah And Mali.
So what do yo think of the practice?

I mean if we marry off Fulani girls to others, who are we going to marry? Lol
Most Fulbe men prefer Fulbe girls so...

Bororojo:
lol, so where else is that kind of thing being done?
Guinea, right?

Of course and probably MAli too
