Fact remains that only mulsim lunatics are fighting to force their ungodly jihad on others.

What is there to be proud about being a northerner?

What exactly is a northerner by the way?

You have no custom of your own but have adopted the traditions and ways of life of your Arab masters.

You have since lost your identity to your occupiers.

And chances are that you are descended from one of the many terrorized tribes of the middle belt captured and sold into slavery to the north.

[size=18pt]Slaving in the Middle Belt: origins and development [/size]

The earliest phase of slavery may have been simple raiding of unstructured and diverse ethnic groups. However, once even small-scale polities develop, then predatory raiding and economic gain for both sides enter the equation. Al-Yakūbī, writing about Sahelian polities such as Kawkaw and Ghana in AD 889, says ‘I have been informed that the kings of the Sūdān sell their people without any pretext or war’ (Levtzion and
Hopkins 1981 : 22).

Organised ‘long-distance’ slavery is likely to be associated with the rise of larger polities in the region (Brett 1969; Renault 1989). Historical records suggest that the first of these was the empire of Kanem-Borno, for which kinglists suggest an origin in the 11th century (Urvoy 1949; Palmer 1928a,b; 1929; Lange 1987). From an early period the Kanembu kings regarded raiding minority peoples as a significant source of income, both for domestic work and sale.

By the 16th century slaving had become an essential part of the economy of Borno, and Fisher & Fisher (1970) argue that domestic slaves were
common even among quite ordinary households. McLeod (1912:227) notes that even the Yedina [=Buduma] of Lake Chad, a scattered and acephalous people, were likely to own 2-3 slaves per household.

Further east, we are fortunate to have a descriptive account of commercial slaving in the early nineteenth century by another non-Arab group, the Fur (El-Tounsy 1851:466 ff.). Individual Fur could make up raiding parties, and then seek authorisation, salatyeh, from the Sultan. The principal exchange model was slaves for cloth and the merchants would sometimes accompany the ghazoua (raid) to obtain priority access to newly captured slaves (cf. also Fresnel 1849). Cordell (1977, 1985) describes the parallel trade routes leading from Wadai through Libya to the markets of North Africa.

The second historical phase was the rise of the Hausa States following the Jihad that began in 1804 (see, for example, Dunbar (1977) for Damagaram or East (1971) for Bauchi). Originally driven by Fulfulde-speaking reformers, it rapidly became transformed into an exercise in political and economic hegemony, spreading as far as Adamawa in Northern Cameroun (Burnham 1980; Morrissey 1984). Within a few decades, the original Fulɓe element had become transformed into an expansion of the Hausa states, with the more traditional patterns persisting only in Adamawa (Yola and eastward) (Strümpell 1912).

Later in the century, the Arab slaver Rabeh formed a short-lived empire based in Dikwa in NE Nigeria with a far more develop
military organisation than had previously existed in this region, with forts, cannons and carrier pigeons (Figure 5). Rabeh was only overthrown by French military action (Gentil 1902; Hallam 1977).

Apart from trading slaves across the desert, slaves were increasingly used on plantations intended to supply the ruling classes in the expanding cities (Sellnow 1964; Ayandele 1967; Tambo 1976; Lennihan 1982; Porter 1989).

Slavery was very wasteful in human terms; in meeting demand for eunuchs it was claimed that only one in ten victims survived the castration
operation (Ruelle 1904; Toledano 1984). Nachtigal (1879-89, III:72) estimated that for every slave arriving in Kuka, some 3-4 must have died en route.

The greater effectiveness of the slave-raiders was associated with the large-scale importation of horses into the Western Sudan (Law 1976; Inikori 1977; Gemery & Hogendorn 1978). Although ponies apparently arrived in the region much earlier, larger Maghrebin horses were being brought across the desert by the 16th century (Blench 1993). Indeed there was a rough equivalence in value between slaves and horses
(Meillassoux 1986: 268). The Kano Chronicle (Palmer 1928b: 111) records the mid-fifteenth century exchange of twelve eunuchs from Nupe for ten horses from Kano. The more specialised food requirements and higher maintenance costs of horses imply a state system with sufficient surplus labour to keep them alive. Horses are likely to have been an essential instrument of the slavers, making possible rapid deployment of the raiders and instilling fear into agricultural populations.

Goody (1971) draws out these consequences for Northern Ghana with the corresponding evolution of ‘anti-horse’ shrines among indigenous populations. The presence of ponies in local Nigerian polities meant that the slavers occasionally met some well-equipped and determined resistance (Morrison 1982). The Mwaghavul [=Sura] routed the forces of Yakubu, Emir of Bauchi, with their highly mobile ponies, while the Boze [=Buji] and Berom of Du ambushed the Bauchi army in 1873.

[size=18pt]Consequences for distribution of population [/size]

Persistent slave-raiding had very significant consequences for the settlement patterns of the peoples living immediately due south of the Muslim polities all across the region into Central Africa (e.g. for Chad see Azevedo 1982). In describing the Nigerian Middle Belt, Wallace (1902) observes;

In Nassarawa country, a once fertile and populous province, one can only view the remains and ruins of large and totally deserted towns, bearing witness to the desolation wrought by 100 years of internecine strife and slave-raiding by the Fulani. - (W. Wallace [1902] quoted in Sciortino 1920:5)

Wilson-Haffenden (1930:45), commenting on the impact of slaving on plains settlements in Nassarawa Province, says;

The remaining inhabitants of such towns fled to the hills in all directions; those who approached the eastern and north-eastern confines of the Province, until they learned how to defend themselves, were further raided by the Headhunting tribes who inhabit these hilly localities. … Such was the state of the Province when the arrival of Sir Frederick Lugard put a stop to the slave-raiding, and evolved law and order out of chaos and ruin. - (Sciortino 1920:5)

The hill communities and their abandonment was the subject of some study at the end of the colonial era. Conant (1962) and Gleave (1965, 1966) described the ‘down from the Hills’ progression as it was in about 1960. Nonetheless the exact impact on population density remained controversial (Gleave & Prothero 1971 with reply by Mason also Mason 1969).

Communities such as the Kofyar, on the southern edge of the Jos escarpment, were still very much a hill people when described by Netting in the 1960s (Netting 1968). By the time Netting’s students came to restudy them in the 1980s, they had largely descended to the plain, and
radically changed their agriculture and settlement patterns (Stone 1996). The hill settlements retain considerable importance for many peoples, and the Tarok, for example still climb to their old settlements for the celebration of key annual rites. Mangut (1998) describes the structure of abandoned hill dwellings among the Ron people from an archaeological perspective.

Open country made a permanent relocation to the hills more difficult, and many peoples had to resort to hiding in caves to escape the mounted raiders. [size=18pt]In 1979, the Gbari peoples west of modern-day Suleja (previously Abuja and a notorious slaving centre) were still able to identify the caves formerly used a refuges in the slaving era.[/size]

Alternatively it was possible to protect settlements through concentrating houses in nuclei and surrounding the whole settlement with spiny ‘cactus’ (Euphorbia kamerunica). The poisonous sap of the euphorbia made attacks by horse-mounted raiders risky. The Berom of the Jos Plateau, for example, built compounds entered by passing through a maze of narrow tunnels, with blind alleys and misleading passages, enabling the inhabitants to attack horsemen (Denyer 1978:9).

Seignobos (1980) and Bah (2003) describe the complex systems of fortifications végétales built in northern Cameroun and Chad to frustrate Borno and Wandala slavers, which involved a whole variety of different plant species.

Kabrud, there is a reason why no Hausa can ever be Amir and that stems from your rumada lineage...

APCLyingBastard:
A related consequence of the slave trade was to establish outposts of Hausa traders in zongos all across the Middle Belt (James n.d.). Towns such as Keffi and Kontagora became important centres for the slavers and thus more general hubs of trade routes and so were eventually converted into chiefdoms (Hogben & Kirk-Greene 1966).

In Adamawa, the Fulɓe remained dominant in the towns while even Kanuri settlements such as Lafia were retained (Sciortino 1920). These in
turn became important economic centres, serving long-distance trade, increasingly foodstuffs, as the urbanisation following colonial rule increased demand from the cities.

Another aspect of the transformation of the Middle Belt was the establishment of rinji or slave settlements within the territories of the
indigenous populations (Hill 1976). These were inhabited by a core of Fulɓe and rumada or settled slaves (Bruce 1982). [size=18pt]The rumada were slaves who no longer retained an ethnic identity and so were less likely to run away.[/size] Slave settlements could not be maintained without the consent of the local populations, since such villages would be too vulnerable to attack.

In the case of Gindiri, south of the Jos Plateau, the rinji became the focus of a trade between the local Fyem [=Pyem] people and the Hausa. More strikingly, an important source of the slaves was not raiding but purchases from other nearby ethnic groups.
Bruce (1982:193-194) cites examples of Ngas and Zaar [=Sayawa] men selling their daughters for cash to increase their social status. Males were not sold in this way, but the Fyem apparently engaged in the kidnapping of children on bush paths for transformation into slaves (see also Machunga n.d.).

At least Christianity has not robbed us of our cultural identity, language and traditional customs!

Your average northern muslim bears names like; Mohammed Abubabkr!

A southern bears names like Philip Effiong and immediately you know he is southerner from Akwa Ibom.

But how about Mohammed Abubabkr? Where is his roots from his slave name?

This is similar to how the whites killed the African identities of black slaves in the Americas.

You my friend are a slave and the best type for you do not even know you are already in chains!

ARABS are BETTER than Non-Arabs…

Alhamdulilah Was Salaatu Was Salaamu ‘Alaa Rasullilah:

Sheikh-ul-Islam, Ibn Taymiyyah (ra) was of the opinion that Arabs ARE SUPERIOR (Afdal) than Non-Arabs and he claimed that this was the view that was held by the MAJORITY of the scholars – ‘Al-Jamhoor’- .

He wrote: “And the MAJORITY of scholars are of the opinion that the Arab species is better (Afdal) than the Non-Arab (species) just as the nation of Quraish is better (Afdal) than the Non-Quraishite nations and (just as) the nation of Bani Haashim is better (Afdal) than the Non-Bani Haashim (nations).” Majm’u Al-Fataawa 19/29

He also wrote: “…This was the position of Imam Ahmed (ra) and the MAJORITY of Ahlul ‘Ilm.” Iqtidaa As-Siraatil-Mustaqeem 2/421

Also, refer to what he said in Majmu’ Fataawa 27/472.

Stop denying your history.

Majority of the pauperized almajiri peasants in the north are descendants of slaves taken from the middle belt and parts of the southwest.

The concept of rinji still exist in modern day northern Nigeria with land serfs paying rent to the descendants of their slave masters.

This is why your Fulani aristocrats do not invest in education on your populace as most of you claiming Hausa in the north are nothing but slaves

Did Mohammed killed people or not?

If yes then no matter How anyone in the western media will paint Islam to b a religion of peace, one Muslim will one day wake up to follow that original footsteps of jihad to spread Islam.

Like someone once said... most of the things Mohammed did in his days as at today he would have been termed a rebel, mass murderer, rapist etc.
