Yorubas and Fulanis Are Really One - Rasheed Olaniyi



An authentic and coherent history of the Yoruba, covering all aspects of the people from the earliest times accounts of Hausa impact on Yoruba history.

Yorubas in northern Nigeria is better understood within the historical context of the respective host communities and indeed the entire history of northern Nigeria as a whole. According to Islamic tradition, the Yoruba were regarded as brothers and sisters of the Hausa people because the majority of Yoruba migrants were Muslims. This suggests why some Yoruba have been assimilated into Hausa culture or enjoy accommodation.

Yorubas also shared myth of origin with the Kanuri. Oral tradition in Borno has it that the “Yoruba and Kanuri were cousins. According to one mythology, the Yoruba were said to be outspoken while the Kanuri were calm people who detested discussing their private affairs in public, particularly those issues concerning their sexuality. The Kanuri thus referred to the Yoruba as “Khairuba,” meaning that there is no alheri in your habit (that is, you don’t keep secret, go away!).. It was from “Khairuba” that Yoruba was derived. There are those who claimed that the similarity in Yoruba and Kanuri culture could further be observed in their passion for singing, particularly among their women.


The historical relationship between peoples of northern Nigeria and the Yoruba runs deep. For Instance In Kano, by 1914, the government police were composed entirely of Yoruba ethnic group.
Also in the Abinsi Division of Tivland, Audu Dan Afonja, a Yoruba Muslim from Ilorin, was imposed as the Chief of Makurdi between 1914 and 1947. He had formally served as a British agent and spy in the area. In Dekina, Ahmadu, a Yoruba was imposed as the Onu of Dekina between 1914 and 1918 as a result of his role as a member of WAFF in the conquest of Igalaland.

The commercial and religious interactions between Yorubaland and Kanem Borno led to the settling down of the two ethnic groups in each other’s communities. The Yoruba in Borno were products of two religious waves. First, Borno scholars who settled in Yorubaland influenced the migration of Yoruba students to Bomo for Islamic education. Yoruba pilgrims to Mecca often passed through Borno. Some of these pilgrims discovered business opportunities, which made them to settle in Borno. In northern Nigeria, Islamic brotherhood constituted a fundamental relationship between the Yorubas and Hausas.

Even history laid credence to this assertion. right from the days of Afonja in Kwara which we knew what the outcome was, Yorubas and the Fulanis are cousins and I pray the relationship continues as long as the people of the west are always at the receiving end of Fulanis brutality. talk about masters and slave relationship
