Usman Dan Fodio forged one of the greatest empires in West Africa. Nigeria is the reason why you are not a Muslim, a serious tragedy.

Lol no, Usman was defeated before the British came, first at Osogbo and Ilorin, as we all know, and second at Edo North, by the Oba of Benin's troops. He never had a chance against the organized armies of the South Western empires.

He was just a flat track bully who could sack undefended villages.

Bandirao:
Please you claimed that there are many yoruba Muslims at this time right? Name me one single yoruba Islamic scholar at this time if you can, also I never claimed that we inially bought Islam to Yorubas, don't forget that the majority of yoruba Muslims are recent converts from 1960 onwards, Islam in yoruba land in pre jihad is the same as Islam in Ghana kingdoms such as the ashanti a religion of majority foreigners and not the common man at all, and as some one also tells you here the vast majority of this Malians are fulani people Fulani at this time are Malian citizens in fact the first fulas to ever came to Nigerian area are envoys sent to the court of borno by Malian emperor during the time of mai kashim biri (1242 to 1262 Ad).

As regards to ajami I think you have a lot to learn about it, the first people to used ajami in West Africa are people of the tekrur the ancient and first Fulani state in present southern Mauritania and northern Senegal, and the Fulani are the first in West Africa to convert to Islam since 9th century almost the same time as the berbers the Fulani of tekrur and almoravids neighbours the sanhaja berbers attacked and conquered the ancient Ghana empire and went northward to conquer Morocco and half of Spain.
And the difference and influence that I wanted you to know is that under Fulani ruled literacy and knowledge is highly favored the emirates have sokoto representatives called wazirin sokoto monitor and ensure that an emir has fulfilled his obligations of spreading knowledge to his people which is all the sokoto caliphate is for, even in remote villages in the caliphate have a mosque and school attached to it, tax system, court etc the literacy spread rapidly under the Fulani that the british even recognised that 90% of adult population can read and write in ajami.
With out Fulani millions of people will now be either Christians or pagans that is the facts.

Yorubas had large population of Muslims before Fulani jihad. Mr revisionist. Yoruba Muslims generals fought alongside their kins against the Fulani Jihadist.

How did Fulani Jihad influenced the large population of Muslims in Yorubaland? Let us start with that first.

During the Malian empire Mandinka, Mande and Bambara were the principal ethnic people. Are the aforementioned ethic group Fulani?

Don't be confused. We are talking about era before the Malian empire was destroyed and occupied by other ethnic groups which included Fulani. Present day Mali is made up of large proportion of Fulanis.

But during the Malian empire, Fulanis were slaves before great Fula empire overran the weakened territory.

King Gao was the first to convert to Islam in west Africa. Nothing like Fulani. The Kanuris received Islam long before Fulanis dreamt of it. If not, tell me the first Fulani king that first converted to Islam.

Kanuris were among the first to use Ajami script in west Africa followed by Shongai. Were they Fulanis?

You kept repeating the same lies your ancestors told you. That's a fat lie.

If British didn't interfere, Fulani would have been vanished from the map of Nigeria because you don't have access to machine guns, Canon and weapons used by the Yorubas.

Was any Yoruba city conquered by Fulani Jihadists? Mention 1. Don't mention Ilorin because it was never a traditional Yoruba town or city.

Bandirao:
Mr man you know nothing about history of the Fulani or mali empire, Fulani are slaves in mali empire? I have a good laugh reading this, Fulani are an essential part of the administration of Mali empire all the Fulani that come to borno, Hausa land etc did so under the patron of Mali. Malian scholars in timbuktu are disproportionally Fulani and tuaregs, it was the songhai empire that persecuted the Fulani that is why most Fulani in Hausaland migrated to Hausa land to escape the persecution of the songhai empire.

that is why timbuktu historians described the songhai as cruel and this is how they described sonni Ali the conqueror of Mali ;

Sunni Ali entered Timbuktu,
committed gross iniquity, burned and
destroyed the town, and brutally
tortured many people there. When
Akilu heard of the coming of Sonni
Ali, he brought a thousand camels to
carry the fuqaha of Sankore and
went with them to Walata..... The
Godless tyrant slaughtered those who
remained in Timbuktu and humiliated them.

Fulani were slaves minority in the Malian empire. If they were majority and administrators why will they create Great Fulo empire to fight against Malian empire?

Don't you think? I have read the history of Fulanis because of one reason I will not tell you.

There is zero credible evidence that Usman Dan Fodio was defeated by anybody, sure he lost battles but most armies lose battles from time to time, history doesn't care as long as they won the war.

At the end of the day it was the colonizers that put an end to Usman Dan Fodio empire. If not, you would have been more civilized and cleaner by now.

You remind me of one of my classmates who cheated in exams and got 2nd place, only for him to start boasting that even if he didn't cheat he would have still gotten 2nd place.

Of course there is abundant evidence of Dan Fodio's defeat once he reached the south. What a moronic thing to say. As for your claims of being cleaner and more civilized... Come on son, I hate to make sweeping generalizations but your tribe is literally a byword for stone age barbarity.

Your people are bush dwellers, more at home with animals than with humans, have contributed nothing to the progress of any society in which they are found but violence, and exist as fringe members in every single country where in Africa where they are found.

Is any of this false?

Smartcitizen:
I don't like Fulanis but I don't also like how Yorubas lie for goodness sake.

Who brought Islam to Yoruba land?

You people should stop this high level of telling lies for goodness sake.

Nawaoo!

This is the problem with most Nigerians. Why can't you just relax and learn from the exchange from both sides before jumping into a conclusion. This is an interesting discourse and I have learnt a lot from both sides. This is what is called intellectual discourse. Kudos to the Fulani guys and the Yorubas guy.

Ngwamankilyou2:
You are stupid or trying to be foolish... I think the killings is good for you ba...I think I have to kill more of your people here to send messages...those that we've killed never do you bloody stranger.

Your tribe is the most coward and we don't need to pity you guys.

Ahmed bello is burning in grave today because of us and he was your most respected.

This time no tribe will join you and we will terminate you totally.

Go east and make noise bloody coward immigrant.

Please stop this..that your first sentence about the yorubas is not necessary nahhh.

you people are very funny I already told you your region is red earthed and infested with tse tse fly we don't want it checked out the best climate in West Africa suitable for cattle raising are all in the control of Fulani namely the futa djallon Highlands and the Adamawa plateau extending to taraba state and Cameroon state of adamaua.
IGBOS and other Southern people's are on lucky we don't conquered them because of tse tse fly our southward limit of expansion correspond to the tse tse fly belts.
our ancestors are far sighted they emigrated all the way from barren Sahara desert in to the most fertile land in West African if not we will still be impoverished in the Sahara like the tuaregs or changed to camel rearing in the arid and hot desert.
This is the kind of land that we wanted to settle not an erosion ravaged region.

The SE is part of the south and also part of Nigeria at large ..that you are saying this shows you fulanis have no interest in the real wellbeing of any part of Nigeria.
Like they said somewhere,your time is up.

Fulani were slaves minority in the Malian empire. If they were majority and administrators why will they create Great Fulo empire to fight against Malian empire?

Don't you think? I have read the history of Fulanis because of one reason I will not tell you.

Him you continue to repeat the same narrative that Fulani where slaves minorities in the mali empire honestly there are indeed Fulani slaves here but the majority of them are intellectuals that settled mainly in gao and timbuktu.

And yes koli tengella is a nationalistic Fulani that organised the Fulani nomads against mali and indeed he succeeded in carving out large territory of Mali in to empire of great pulo he even conquered the Fulani Muslim state of tekrur and established the denianke dynasty who later converted.
What is more this Malians later after being conquered by the songhai and the fall of songhai it self lost it intectuall prominence and return to there paganism until a 19th century Fulani reformer by the name seku ahmadu established a jihadists state on sokoto model with capital at hamdallahi.
And then after the French conquests they highly favored the bambara and mandinka whom some of them convert to Christianity the divisive policy of the French antagonised both the Fulani and tuaregs who France systemically weakened that is why mali today has rebellious movement by the national movement for azawad (tuareg) and the massina liberation front (Fulani).

I am neither yoruba nor Igbo..I am not a northerner. I am south south. There are some people I am not related to but whose deaths pains me till this day..people like Whitney Houston,Fela,Stella Obasanjo, Lucky Dube,that Afenifere leader's daughter...her death and murder of the Afenifere leader's daughter,Olakunri by you killer fulanis pained me to the bone as if she's my relative.

You people just killed her like that!!!! 😣

I challenged you to name me one yoruba Muslim scholar but you keep quiet it is highly unlikely to be Muslim for more than two centuries and not to produce a well known personality.
And honestly you lied the first Muslim King to convert to Islam was :
nWest Africa, the first Muslim king to convert to Islam is often considered to be War Jabi, also known as Abu Bakr, who was the King of the Takrur Empire (present-day Senegal) in the 10th century. While the first borno mai to accept Islam is mai hummay jilmi In the eleven century.
What is more Fulani are always credited as having the first to start using ajami scripts and spread it to other peoples in West Africa.

And also you aways keep priding that you defeated the Fulani at oshogbo yes that is one battle but decisive when all the yoruba state gang up against one small emirate like Ilorin what you will expect?
Historically we never fought a one war even gobir was sacked only in 1809 after the first jihad in 1804, if the Fulani decided to attack yoruba in the second half of the 19th century century the story will be a different one today, because you all dissipated your energy fighting the useless ijaye war.

The British are the only reasoned the sokoto caliphate did not conquered all of Nigeria from Sahara to Atlantic ocean.

Ole, that picture should likely be Plateau, Benue or Taraba state.
You have no lands since you all came from other African countries.
Yet you fought the eastern region to use cattle grazing as a means of encroachment into the green beautiful southern lands.
Don't deceive yourself, the eastern region have same mindset as the Israelis. It's impossible to encroach into their lands.

And this is Nigeria alone not all countries.

Will you look at this list and sincerely feel proud? My good man, you just produced a list of nobodies. Scientists, historians, and philosophers who have no notable contributions to science, history, or philosophy?

Who is an emir or Islamic scholar to the outside world? Their importance is limited only to those who hold certain beliefs. They cannot in any way be said to have contributed to society. It is arguable, in fact, that their impact was largely the destruction of existing civilizations and the subjugation of the formerly free Hausa people. Listing such means you have not understood my question!

Now, among the classes of individuals who are regarded as having contributed to society, let's look at the historians, scientists, and philosophers you have mentioned. These are the classes of people who will be regarded as having contributed to the society.

Is there any that is widely regarded outside of Fulaniland or Northerndom? Mention any who have received critical acclaim from the broader society? I see a couple of professors, which is almost laughable, really, because that is the bare minimum requirement to be featured on such a list for any major southern group.

The list of great persons from Ibadan alone probably has more professors than your entire list has persons! The fact that you are listing political leaders like Shagari and other near non-entities should tell you how empty this list is. Which tribe doesn't have political leaders?

You even had the audacity to add one Mamman Shata and call him legendary! Then what would we call the likes of Tony Tetuila and Styl Plus who are far more significant musical cultural figures, and yet would not make a list of the top 10,000 greatest persons from their tribes? Let alone the true legends like Fela?

danvon:
You just made a very accurate description of Southerners in general and Igbos in particular.

Why fool yourself?

Every where the fulani are dominant, poverty, death and disease are close in tow. There is no metric in which the Fulani can compare with even the least of the Southern tribes.

Sorry, but the truth speaks for itself. The majority of your people are cattle herders. Is that not so? In fact, your leaders are on record as saying the average fulani values the life of a cow over that of a human. It is good that you feel some shame but what you should do is go back and educate your people like Ahmadu Bello planned. You can't win this debate - if I will dignifiy it by calling it such.

lol this lists I just copied it from Wikipedia and I didn't edit truly some did to deserve to make the lists.
In almost every country that our population exceeded 5% we produced a head of state. In this lists there are many that there influence is feel greatly and will be continue to be felt for years to come.
In this lists there are notable personality like
Muhammad Ibn Mohammed Al Fulani Al kishwani a prominent mathematicatician in the 17th century.
Usman Dan fodio who is a well known scholar, philosopher, he alone wrote 300 books in topics ranging from history, theology, grammar, philosophy and astronomy, and established the most developed state in sub Saharan Africa ever.
Nana Asma'u, Dan fodio daughter, who also wrote books on poetry,and the position of women in the society.
Muhammad Bello son of Dan fodio son who is a historian, his book infaqul maisur is the masterpiece of history of the central sudanic peoples, intact he is the first one that was known to write fully the history of central Sudan outside the Arab historians and scholars of timbuktu.
Muhammad baba a Fulani scholar in 15th century timbuktu.
Midibbo Adama the scholar and founder of Adamawa emirates.
Truly there are so many Fulani whose influence is felt in many parts of West Africa remember this is Nigeria lists only not whole west Africa and also remember our population is only 15 million in Nigeria and we produce most head of state and most northern nigerian politicans who also dominated Nigerian political landscaped.


Also my initial response is to debunked your lies that we are bush people and closer to animals. If we can talk about influence I think you are no where close to Fulani which ever tribe you are.

I challenged you to name me any pre colonial personality and scholar that wrote so many books in your tribe.

Don't forget that we are the only African people to establish different states in many parts of West Africa all the areas we are not here originally.

Our influence is felt from the Sahara desert to Atlantic ocean.

Lmao less than 5 percent of the Fulani are actually the rest are mixed farmers who also keep cattle. The majority fulani lived in cities and they dominated the administration and educational landscape in Northern Nigeria.

That's what I said my boy. Your influence of poverty, death, destruction and disease is felt wherever you are.

I will put it to you that no country has ever prospered under a fulani president. None. Even the once prosperous Nigeria was ruined the moment it fell into your people's hands.

Civilisation is not about writing books, it is about making meaningful contributions to society. Are these books widely regarded as important literary works? Not even in the Arab world.

I am from Edo btw, so don't even bother yourself with empty challenges. If Nigeria is highly regarded by the outside world in any way, the history of my people is among the main reasons for this.

You have to pick a stance

If Fulanis are just mere cattle herders with no education, then why do they have so much hate?

By all accounts that would mean that they are being marginalized and oppressed by Nigeria, you just mentioned Ahmadu education policies, the same Ahmadu Bello that was butchered by you Christians/Southerners.

On top of this oppression, you guys keep trying to steal and kill their cows, their only means of survival.

If you believe Fulanis are oppressive leaders, then you have to acknowledge that they couldn't have gotten to that leadership position unless they demonstrated leadership qualities, more so in a multicultural country like Nigeria.

People now acknowledge that Buhari was a much better leader than Tinubu, no leader fought hard against corruption like Buhari. That tyrannical Buhari captured your darling terrorist but yet didn't kill him, instead he was given legal representation, do you think Tinubu would have done that.

Fulanis are the greatest tribe in West Africa, the problem with people like you is that you confuse honour, courage and discipline with wickedness.

they know their boundary up North..
We do not tolerate them over here

I said the majority of Fulanis are cattle herders. That means there is a minority that are not. There is a minority of Fulanis who are educated and are in the ruling class, obviously. I'm not sure what rubbish point you are labouring to make.

Laguhable nonsense to accuse any southerner of trying to steal your cows. Which southerner is interested in cattle herding? Joker.

Okay. And such cities are among the poorest on earth. Is that correct?

If you go to any Islamic library you will see the works of danfodio or his descendants here in facts some Fulani studied in North Africa or Middle East , for example Al kishwani studied in North Africa and did his work here and his grave is in Cairo.
What is more writings are far more effective way in influencing society and one of the biggest contribution to society they can be preserved and kept for hundred or thousands of years.

You are edo right you also have great history, but your influence is hardly felt outside your immediate neighbours like igbo, and yoruba.
