This is the history of how the Fulanis subtly gain domination over the Hausas.

The historical fact will help us to actually know the contribution of British to Nigeria woe just because of their selfishness.

THE HAUSA STRUGGLE AGAINST ENSLAVEMENT
Most Sunnis and their scholars are Fulanis using Islam to keep the Hausas in perpetual bondage

The first charismatic Hausa leader to unite his people against Fulani overlords was a scholar by the name Abd al – Salam , another Hausa scholar by the name Dan Buya joined him. His movement started around 1818, shortly after the death of Usman Dan Fodio. At the time, almost all Hausa people lived in slave camps and over 60% of them were vassals of the Fulani feudal overlords…. Another large faction were turned to chattels and sold to the Ottoman traders. The revolt by these clerics to take back their lands started at Sokoto and spread from Sokoto to Kebbi and Zamfara. Sultan Bello was the ruler from Sokoto. He declared the leaders of the revolt as apostates. They were both defeated in battle and assassinated.

The Hausas were organizing for a second revolt when Lord Lugard showed up. Hoping to use his influence to sack the Fulani rulers, they enlisted en -masse into his army and formed the first battalions of the West African Frontier Force (WAFF)… Lugard betrayed them after the successful campaign and gave the land of the Hausa people back to the Emirs on the condition that the Emirs agreed to be vassals of the British. The Hausa people protested and tried to pressure him to replace them with Hausa rulers. He refused and believed that the Fulani, being a non negro race would be supposedly more intelligent people to work with in a system of indirect rule. In his journal, he wrote…. ‘The Fulani are an alien race of conquerors who had in turn been conquered. It would constitute danger to the state if they were ousted from their positions. Their intelligence enables them to appreciate more readily than the negro population the wider objects of the British policy….’

Shortly before independence, another charismatic ruler rose from the ranks to free his people from Fulani rule. He was also a scholar by the name Aminu Kano. He shared similar philosophies with Awolowo on socialism and emancipation of the masses. He argued that the talakawas were an exploited group in the North and swore to abolish both the emirates and privileged class known then as Masu Sarautu. His rising profile posed concern for the British and for a second time, they made laws that disenfranchised the Hausa people. They created an electoral college in the North with laws that gave the emirs the final approval of any elected member into the legislature. With this law, they silenced the voice of the talakawas championed by Aminu Kano and frustrated his revolution.

In the 70’s, another Hausa cleric emerged and rallied Hausa people, his name was Mohammadu Marwa, nicknamed ‘Mai Tatsine. He deviated from many of the Sunni teachings and declared himself an annabi (Hausa ruler). The title in Hausa is reserved for prophets with divine inspiration..... He swore to rid Hausa land of the Fulani elites and the nobility that exploited the local rulers for over a century. Like Aminu kano, he drew a mass following among the talakawas. His movement was violent. He had weapons smuggled into Kano for a revolution that started in December 1980….. Shagari government used the military to fight the movement and killed over 5,000 people. The group was fearless and stood their ground to the last breadth…. Major Haliru Akilu, one of the commanders sent to restore order in Kano observed that the fanatics never retreated, even when they were overpowered. They were bolder than the guerillas we read about fighting in Malaysia or in the jungles of East Asia’

Mohammed Marwa was killed shortly after the revolt . ( It was said that at death, his body did not decay and this futher inspired his followers). A More brutal successor came after him. His name was Ali Suleiman (Musa Makaniki). He led a more violent uprisings in Kaduna and the most violent of all postcolonial Hausa revolts in Yola in 1984 which left thousands of people dead and thousands more homeless. Buhari ordered a ruthless crackdown on the group in Yola that led to the death of many members. Musa Makaniki fled to Cameroon to escape death by hanging and stayed in exile for many years.

The current cleric standing for the Hausa masses is El Zakzacky. Most Sunnis and their scholars are Fulanis using Islam to keep the Hausas in perpetual bondage. SHEIK IBRAHIM ELZAKZAKY is a Hausa man, and of the Shiite Islamic sect. He is believed by the Fulani hierarchy that, if left unchecked, he can cause a major set back to Fulani domination which have lasted for more than 200 years. Which is why he is being hounded by the Buhari Fulani regime.
Unlike the other previous leaders of the fight for freedom for Hausa people, El Zakzacky had western education and his movement started with intellectuals in the ranks. He finished with a first class degree in Economics at ABU but was denied his certificate. In a country where the Northerners enjoyed the privilege of a quota system, he could have lived a good life by pledging allegiance to Futa Jalon rulers…. On the contrary, he chose to stand up for the injustice done to the Hausa people for over a century. Like the cleric before him, he deviated from all Islamic laws that bound them to Alien rulers that exploited the natives to form the nobility. His struggle is not about Islamic ideals, it is about freedom for Hausa people and rejection of Fulani nobility. His rhetoric is strictly centered on it and the government they greatly influence at federal level.

The emirs are alien rulers. Like the British who left at independence, they need to vacate the Northern kingdoms and give Hausa land back to its ancestral owners who have been seeking redress for injustice done to them by the Jihad of the early 1800’s.

If this were your MSc or PhD thesis you would be sentenced to death by hanging. I wonder how you people are deeply ignorant of history and always trying to write others history.
The way you think about North, Hausa-Fulani is extremely out of this world.
You don't know anything abt Islamic sects, linking it with tribe worsened your poorly written article. Mentioning Muhammad Marwa Maitatsine and Zakzaky movements completely portrayed your delusion!

You Fulanis are too obsessed with death. Come and hang me now.

Go and write your own thesis if you are not comfortable with the truth portrayed in the write up.

They have done shege to Hausa walahi

Abi you want stone am, the way you did to Deborah for saying the obvious...

Stop displaying your terrorist tendency on a public forum..

THE HAUSAS AND THE FULANIS LOOK AND WALK ALIKE IN A WANDERING FASHION.
BUT DON'T WORRY.
THE BANDITS AND BOKOHARAMS SHALL SCATTER SOON IN ISWA.
TINUBU/SHETTIMA UNITY IN CONFUSION SHALL AGGRAVATE THEIR MOVEMENTS.
TRUMP IS COMING BACK. HE KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE SUNNIS' AND SHIITES' IMBROGLIO VERY WELL.

Go straight to the point, 'I want to to understand the Shi'ite struggle', shikenan, why the long epistle of lies?

This is like trying to say 1 is 9, plainly stupid and irresponsible, that you have time to create this without mentioning any literature you use shows the type of person you are.

Tales by moonlight or Tweets by Elbinawa would have been a great title for this post. I believe the writer is a Shiite (trying to whitewash the story of their fake struggles) in which he failed woefully.

You forgot, after Zakazky came Shekau who was also trying to break the bond of subjugation from the Fulani. #Cockandbullstories

God bless You for this eye opening message. I wish many Hausa's can read this and see the injustice the Fulani's' have meted to them. i feel for the Hausa People. Buhari took the fight against the Maitatsine serious because it was against the Hausa's.
Hausa you better wake from the Fulani slavery
