Hausa/Fulani Pre-Islamic New Year by AfriRenaissance(op): 12:15am On Jan 03, 2018
Does anyone know when the "New Year" was celebrated among the Fulani prior to their contact with Islam? I know the traditional religion remains, however what about the holidays/celebration days? I only know of the Gerewol.

What about the Hausa? I would also like to know when their true New Year was.

It wasn't difficult at all to find the Yoruba calendar, it's extremely intricate seems like. However, they've adopted the Gregorian calendar for business purposes. Seems like the Yoruba "New Year" is in summer time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_calendar
