They used to be, until Buhari came and caused disaffection between them.

Technically, the term Hausa-Fulani is a hybrid produced by the continued and sustained intermarriage between the two tribes such that the blend had cost the separate breeds their filial identifies.

Historically however, the Hausas are the original Nigerians who co-own the large swarth of what is today's North west along with the federating tribes of the Gwaris.

The advent of Uthman Fodio who migrated to and lived in Degel in present day Sokoto state, saw hum wage a jihad (not the contemporary mad violence as we know it today) - a sort of missionary work that sought to dominate and establish emirates that would be answerable to the caliphate (the Sokoto sultanate). It is the result of this successful jihad that entrenched the Fulani (fulbe) naturalization in Nigeria. - Note that the fulbe is distinct from fulfude.

The Fulbe tribe migrated from Futa d'Jalon in present day Guinea, while the fulfude are descendants of Kanem Bornu.

So, the infiltration of the fulbe into the ranks of Hausawa was occasioned by the undue hospitality and acceptance of strangers, which would eventually lead to her being conquered by the same immigrants on one hand, and the quest to seek war mercenaries from these strangers to invade and spoil neighbouring communities turning around to be her bane on the other hand.



Any questions?

Gagare1:
Oga, your first paragraph is a BIG FAT LIE.
We Hausas were NEVER one with the fulanis and will NEVER be one. The Muslim Hausas are the ones delaying our liberation from Fulani bondage due to their blind loyalty to fulanis (who use Islam as a chain).
I almost had a problem with my fellow Hausa man when I questioned why our people agree to submit to Fulani rule. He thought I was trying to separate him from his Muslim brothers (fulanis) because I am a Christian.
The day the Muslim Hausa's understand what the fulanis did to us, that is the day the Fulani empire will crumble to dust.
We are simply waiting for our brothers to wake up from the deceit induced sleep.
We see clearly who the fulanis are, but sadly, our brothers are yet to see what we see.

I liked and shared your comment, but remember even Cnn journalists were able to interview Osama Bin Laden while he was in hiding meanwhile the US government could not find him.

So it's the government that is his sponsors

Comedian2019:
Osama was not being turbaned as a Chief in the United States while American government was looking for him.

I have always thought Hausa and Fulani are one and the same people. At least that is the impression Inhave always been given.

Nekwa nonsense.

I know the first reaction is outrage about the statement, but let's all look beyond the surface and try to understand what is going on.

Fulani are much more migratory than most other ethnic groups. For centuries, their way of life has been nomadic, going about the entire Sahel region. Just like other ethnic groups, they established empires to protect their own interests, often to the detriment of others. Before you get upset, do you think the Empires of Kano, Oyo, or Benin got so big by being nice to the people in the lands they conquered?

Nomadic populations don't view land as something to be owned by individuals; sedentary/farming populations on the other hand, don't appreciate the concept of "my land is your land". I can't say either approach is wrong or right, but that they are different, equally valid, and we all need to see things from the others' perspective.

Fulani access to land and resources are being threatened by:
- increased desertification
- insensitivity/inability of our leadership to think holistically and long term
- increased populations of Nigerians, buying what used to be grazing land and pathways
- an unwillingness to "modernize", an area where Fulani leadership has failed their people.

These conditions lead - as they have in other parts of Nigeria - to desperation, disconnection from the country, banditry, and susceptibility to religious dogma. If we continue to misunderstand the reasons for what is happening, we will not be able to treat it.

I hope readers of this post will really try to reflect on what I've written, and not just post knee jerk reactions, because frankly, the menace is being practiced by all Nigerians, regardless of ethnicity.

He would be taken to kuje prison and subsequently released to continue his work.

Well, the Fulani worldview of " your land is my land" can no longer stand the test of relevance. It's an ancient worldview that has no place in modern civilization. It will only breed what it is breeding today like it bred what it used to breed back then. War! The Hobbesian State of nature! Banditry! The failure of the Fulani to adapt to modernity and their tenacious hold to archaic ways of life will only end up being to their detriment.

Antyxx:
May your family be kidnapped and killed by your blood sucking Fulani animals

See this thrash of a human being, so the rest of Nigerians should run away from their land because some animals want to conquer the land? You must be dumb. I cant evn continue to talk to you. Im sure you are part of the kidnappers. This is why Nigeria must break, i cnt continue to be in same land with you

That's Sarcasm, you didn't get it .

Not necessarily... none of us actually "own" land in Nigeria, we lease it for 99 years from the state government. And the ultimate truth is we are all just temporary inhabitants of the land... even for our so-called ancestral land, most of us can trace our lineage to some point where "so and so settled in this land and started a farm here, then others came and it became a town." Meaning the land was not always in our family. You get.

So if generations of herders have been used to grazing on open land, but then someone decides to claim it and start farming there, or build an estate on it, what do you call that? I mean, at some point that land belonged to nobody, and the ancestor that settled it typically didn't buy it. They "owned" it by claiming it as theirs, and passing it on to their descendants.

Even me that has inherited and bought land in several places... eventually it will "belong" to someone else, also temporarily. All my sweat, blood, and struggles are just so I can temporarily claim ownership of something. Reminds me of ants, birds, lions that fight each other defending their "territory", despite the fact that given enough time, all of us fighters will have passed on.

The Fulani just took this idea of "nobody really owns the land" to its logical conclusion, because land is for the common good, and there was no point in owning it if - being nomadic - you were going to another area in 5 years.

We need to balance these two ideas, so that we can all have peace. It is meaningless to insist one way is right, just because it's what we grew up with.




We try to teach critical thinking skills to people, but apparently that effort was lost on you. What I am saying - and I'll try to simplify here - is that there rational reasons for what is going on; we should understand the root of the matter and solve the problem once and for all. I hope you don't think your ancestors - nor mine for that matter - are innocents who never went to war to fight over the land that you can now claim is yours.


If you read nothing in what I post, it is not because there was nothing there... it just means you blocked your mind from understanding what was being said. There are people who, as a result of understanding the problem, build lasting solutions and societies; there are also many who just exist in what they met and are content with just reacting. I'll leave you to decide which of those two groups you might belong to.

I understand the outrage at what the man said, but think about this: the only difference between called "founding father", "freedom fighter", or "rebellious insurgent" is who won the fight. There is a war being fought that will only get worse if a lasting solution is not found. Splitting into different countries is not going to solve the issue of desertfication.

Imagine if Lagos with it's 20+ million people, suddenly had no water (eg. the way Lake Chad has dried up)... Lagosians start crying out for help, but the rest of Nigeria insisted they all stay in Lagos. After a while desperation (and unfortunately greed) sets in, and some Lagosians try surviving by grabbing water from other states since no one cared to share. Is the solution to criminalize all of Lagos, or to understand that things are better when we all try to solve the issue of no water in the first place?
