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

Far from being correct.

SmartyPants:
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.

There are numerous someone would steal a cows aside from herding;

1. Cows are expensive, they can be sold for good profit.
2. Cow meat are tasty and healthy for consumption.
3. Cows can be used in ceremonies (wedding, funeral, naming) a man who kills a cow would be more respected than a man who kills a goat.

So yes there's lots of motivation for your criminal primitive brethren to steal someone's only source of livelihood and when they fight back you guys immediately claim victim.

Is it not amazing that despite all the alleged Fulani land takeover, these cases rarely reach court? Mazi Nnamdi Kanu could afford millions for lawyers to defend himself but yet couldn't hire a lawyer to sue a single Fulani allegedly land grabbing. They can't try it because the last thing a rat want, is for the light to shine on them.

Talking nonsense. Fulanis don't grab land. They simply destroy and move on. And how can you then institute a case against a nomad who is here today and gone tomorrow, with no known address?

From Zamfara to Enugu to Owo, all the issues Fulanis have with their hosts are because people want to steal cows from them? Only one group of people but trouble everywhere. Anyway, you are just doing your duty by defending your people even though you don't have enough sense to at least make somewhat reasonable arguments.

The other guy is doing a far better job so I suggest you sit this one out.

stonemasonn:
I won't dispute you, you're all alike, proud, vindictive and ambitious. The only problem is that the Fulas are a massive population with connections all over West and Central Africa. I don't think you can match them.

fulanis alone cannot survive the Nigeria civil war if they are placed in igbo position

ASAPFERG:
There is no difference between igbos and fulanis.
Two useless troublesome tribes hated everywhere they go.

we are both domineering and will keep dominating the rest of you

Vinod007:
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.

My dear when you see a white lie you will know.

Yorubas did not have any encounter with Arabs that brought Islam to west Africa.

What Yorubas were practicing before Islam can was Yoruba traditional religion. All these lies is only told with the purpose of changing history for selfish reasons.

Very dumb excuse.

So if I commit murder and relocate, your telling me I can never be caught.

Your excuse might have worked if you at least brought the matter to court and the police were unable to track the killers, but you guys never even went to court to begin with.

The truth is that evil people do not go to court, they are scared of being exposed.

Fulanis would never be stupid enough to put themselves in Igbo position to begin with.

And this is Nigeria alone not all countries.

kai, achievement means different things to different people. Imagine listings emirs, imams and senate president as their achievements. People whose influence does not exceed their immediate environment. And this cattle rearer will be comparing his hugely illiterate populated fulani people to igbos..

Imagine listing our rev .fathers and bishops as our notable people..

Bandirao:
This is part of Adamawa, futa djallon Highland and gembu a Fulani dominated local government in taraba.

[color=#006600][/color]

Then they should establish grazing reserve there.
Why can't we live peaceful amongst ourselves?
Fulani and shuwa Arabs are beautiful people.

danvon:
Fulanis would never be stupid enough to put themselves in Igbo position to begin with.

In chess, openings are just as important as the end game.

striking an isolated village in the wee hours of the night and running away has never been known in the history of humanity as an act of braveness. Igbos faced Nigeria and her allies face to face for three years even in the face of being disadvantaged....now, that's greatness!

danvon:
Very dumb excuse.

So if I commit murder and relocate, your telling me I can never be caught.

All the bandits and fulanis killing people all over Nigeria, have they been caught? How much less so for civil matters where you don't have the mechanism of the State at your disposal? Do you know the difference between civil and criminal cases? Do you even know the rudiments of what it takes to bring a matter to court? Which Court will hear any civil suit against an unnamed person of unknown address? Are you sure you have a functioning brain?

Get away from here. You are a waste of time.

Up to now the only excuse that I am seeing is herder farmer conflicts, but to be honest this is the national problem alone and not only Fulani problem, I think it is only recently that the ministry of livestock is established, federal government always favour farmers at the expense of herders, billions of money are spent on farmers annually not even a fraction of it is reserved for herders despite there importance as the primary producers of meat and hides in Nigeria.
Every time the government come with policy that will better the life of herders is seen as an agenda by the hypocritical Southern elites,
for example if buhari ruga schemes is accepted today we will not have farmer herder conflicts, but no southerners can't agree.

in your dreams. You only know how to brag online. Meanwhile here in the SW, we treat igbos like trash that you guys are always crying on social media

All is fair in love and war

Striking an isolated village and running away was the exact strategy used by Hannibal to fight the Romans

Genghis Khan used it to conquer Russia, China, Turkey, Syria

Vietcong used it to drain the USA

The truth is that majority of Igbos are arrogant, cowardly, weak and slavish in nature, the fact that Igbos didn't take revenge for the pogroms unleashed on them exposed their weakness to everybody, Fulanis would have fought back, especially after the second wave of pogroms.

Igbos didn't not fight during the Biafra war, Igbos simply played victims and ran, the only recorded act of military prowess happened in the invasion of Onitsha and even that was due to the mistakes of Murtala Mohammed rather than the genius of Biafrans, it was all downfall from there.

These are not unknown people, if they lived and grazed in that community then they are known. While bandits are criminals, cattle herders have livestock to take care of, there's no way they can run so quickly.

But keep making excuses, your becoming very good at it.

FULANIS ARE SLAVEDRIVERS, PLUNDERERS, EXPLOITERS, LOOTERS AND MEANINGLESS ARABS.
THE HAUSAS WE WANT BUT THE FULANIS WE DON'T WANT.

The Fulanis kill anything there is life on. Seems they were procreated for killings, very violent set of Homo sapiens. If other tribes do unto the Fulanis what they have done to others, they will cease to exist.

Igbos didn't fight back but Nigeria lost over 500k soldiers including your fulani brothers who were roasted like bush meat in Abagana and even invited other nations to assist them fight a single tribe,anyways i am not surprise you are fulani a people generally known to have lowest IQ in Africa.

Very few Fulani people fought in the civil war

Gowon wasn't Fulani, Adekunle wasn't Fulanis

The vast majority of soldiers were Yorubas, Ijaws and those Christian Northerners you guys love so much

Fulanis wanted secession too.

Bandirao:
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).

The bolded says it all. Fulanis were slaves in the Malian empire and it was the Malian Muslim envoys that introduce Islam in Yorubaland in the 15th century not Fulani. That's it.

Thanks for acknowledging.

Bandirao:
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.

The first king to convert to Islam is the king of Gao. There is archeological evidence to back it up.
The Stelae script discovered stated categorical the kings of Gao Islamic affiliation as at 10th century.

Show me evidence of War Jabi as the first time king to convert to Islam. Stop lying.

The same Yorubas and other ethnic groups were used by British to conquer Fulanis. Do you know that too?

Nobody hated Fulani please
Change your heading Fulani hated themselves
If not that fulanis are loved by Nigerians, the atrocities committed by fulanis is enough evidence to chase them out of Nigeria. And mark you,Fulani are only safe in Nigeria ,in Gambia all fulanis are placed under security watch so many west African countries such as Benin republic no more allow fulanis into there country. Even Niger Republic when bazoom was president Fulani and their cows were bombarded using fighter jets if they dare enter the country without permission,try identify yourself as Fulani and travel to Benin republic, Togo ,DR Congo,CAR,and some part of Cameron,even Guinea republic that is even known to be Fulani cradle you will know that it is very ungrateful of you to accuse Nigerians of hating Fulani.

forgiveness:

I don't know what is your obsession with some Fulani being enslaved there is no race of mankind that some of it members were not enslaved at one point, you know you are Yoruba the most enslaved ethnic groups in West Africa after the Igbos so what?

forgiveness:

Yes you are probably talking about the excavation in gao in which moorish tombstones with Spanish characters and Arabic inscription in it dated to 10th century, but he didn't appear in written sources war jabi appeared in every written record as the first Muslim King to convert, what is more the people of tekrur where also Muslims before their leader converted they actively helped there sanhaja neighbours to conquer ancient Ghana, Morocco and half of Spain where they are known as almoravids.

@forgiveness yes I also know that many members of West African frontier force are mostly yoruba and Hausa the British used you as there foot soldiers to conquer the sokoto emirates, thanks for proving that you are indeed British willing tools.

Oga, that's evidence. Only Fulas believes War Jabi was the first Muslim king but evidence on ground proved King of Gao was the first Muslim in west Africa.

As if Fulas were not used by the same British to conquer territories. Are Fulas not willing tools too based on that?

Being nomad doesn't give you right to someone's ancestral land. Why is it that you don't have conscience by killing someone untop his land. What u guys are doing in benue and other places, is it right?

And this is Nigeria alone not all countries.

Op, this list answers your own question.

With less than 10% of the northern population, why's this list of northern notables 99% Fulani?

Could it be that while the Fulanis push Hausa children into almajiri system while educating their own?

Could it be that the Fulani has excluded other northers - Tiv, Nupe, Gbagi, etc from the affairs of the government?

Compared with old eastern and western regions where you have a healthy combination of Igbo, Efik, Ibibio, and Ijaw achievers, why is everyone Fulani on your list?

Thanks to Buhari Fulani intentions for Nigeria became more clearer.

Antivirus92:
we are both domineering and will keep dominating the rest of you

Attache by force, Fulani domineering, agreed, Ndigbo are dominating who exactly?
