With the Jihad,
the Fulani destroyed & erased Hausa culture.

As of today, only Hausa have no culture
or tradition, everything is according to
Islamic tenets.

As if they were nonentities before the arrival
of Danfodio & his fanatics.

Fineman87:


The fulanis are not dominating nigeria. How many fulanis have ruled nigeria. Obasanjo, jonathan, azikiwe, shonekan, aguiyi ironsi, orizu nwafor etc all held sway in nigeria at certain times. Please stop misleading the world with your ignorant trash.

Built2last:
Think of the Hausas that Fulani came in and conquered. The Yorubas will serve the caliphate in all aspects forever but the Hausas are the real slave. For what history tells us. Foolanis are our masters

Hausas sacrificed everything to the Fulani.

Fulani is a minority tribe in Nigeria but very vicious and domineering.

TheKingIsHere:
Wait o, that's means Daura, Buhari's so called village actually belonged to the hausas.

Mbediogu:
No part of Tivland fell to the caliphate, no wonder the vengeance on them by fulani herdsmen and soldiers. So Parts of oyo state River Niger, and parts of Taraba belong to Sokoto eh?
They shoukd be contented with dipping the Koran in two Rivers. Why aim for ocean when river is purer for the cows? chai!

stillseth:
That's how Fulani people also took Kwara state too.....didn't know they took the north from the Hausas...abeg where these Fulani people migrate from sef.

DerideGull:



All Tiv lands were under the authority of the emirates, Bauchi or Adamawa.

AlBaqir:


# That is part of our mental colonisation and coupled with the way they dominate other tribes forcefully over the years. This age long idea was dusted by the emergence of Sheik Adam al-Ilory, a core Yoruba Alim. With Sheik Adam's exploit in the field of studies and teachings, Yoruba totally ceased to look after Hausa-Fulani as their religious leaders.

# Their "dominance" today is only political yet Yoruba has broken away from them.

# Don't get me wrong, they have good scholars unfortunately the ruling system which they politically tagged "Islamic" is nothing but tribal. Emir of Sokoto that is regarded as "Amir" of Nigerian Muslims attained power politically. He knows NOTHING as far as religion is concern. He is far from being an Islamic scholar. The truth is nobody take him serious in the west. Loyalty and obedience to him is limited to his subjects in the North.

The entire north-west (except for Southern Kaduna, Southern Kebbi and parts of extreme Zamfara south) belong to the Hausas. It is Hausa homeland.

Fulanis did not have any homeland in Nigeria until 200-300 years ago when they invaded us here.....

The post did not say how Usman Dan Fabio took otiapepe (rat killer) and killed himself when he couldn't defeat the rugged and warriors of Benin (BINI) kingdom.

Nowenuse:


Yaradua
Shehu Shagari &
Buhari are all fulanis.

Others like
Tafawa Balewa
IBB
Abdulsalami
Abacha
Yakubu Gowon &
Murtala Mohammed who were not fulanis were all pro-caliphate and in extension pro-fulanis..... So, it makes no much difference.

Asquare84:
Op. You need to add how the jihad was stop in benue state because usman dan fodio has already hosted his flag in the Atlantic ocean, thank God for the corregous effort of benue warrior if not the whole of Nigeria would av been islamise. How benue manage to stop the jihad is a whole topic for another day

Nowenuse:


Absolute trash and nonsense.

Not even Wukari in Taraba or Numan in Adamawa state was ever under fulani control or emirate, let alone the Tivs.

The British colonialists tried to fraudulently group Plateau people under Bauchi emirate during the indirect rule, but it was heavily resisted by Plateau people.

PrecisionFx:




NE wasn't conquered by the Fulani

DerideGull:


The Caliphate soldiers were stopped at Igbo-Eze and Nsukka axis during the war termed Hauaa\Akegbe war.

Not nice.

Nowenuse:


Benue people were not the only ones in the middlebelt to resist jihad and defeat the fulanis, let alone the entire present day Nigeria.

Jukun people (of Wukari, Taraba south) also defeated and resisted the fulani caliphate.
Plateau & Southern Kaduna people also did.

Igalas also did.

Numan confederacy of Adamawa south also resisted the fulanis.

In the South, Yoruba people defeated the fulani jihadists at Ogbomosho. Edo people defeated the jihadists at Esan axis.

DerideGull:


Where did you get this nonsensical crap? Tiv did not put up any resistance to the Jihadists and Dan Fodio did not fight any war. The wars of conquer and expansionism were fought by Dan Fodio's son and younger brother.

Built2last:
Igbos cry Everytime that they are marginalized but think of the Hausas that Fulani came in and conquered. The Yorubas may serve the caliphate politically but the Hausas are the real slave. For what history tells us. Foolanis are visitors.

Naaseer01:
lies lies lies

Dan fodio fought Hausa rulers only when they attack him first (for self defence)in order to stop him from preaching the true teaching of Islam which was diluted at that time by the Hausa King with Idol worshiping like tsumburbura and barbushe idols in kano. and that's is what Dan fodio fought against. he was attacked, his students killed, their wealth burnt down by those rulers just because he preachea against mixing Islam with idol worshiping. and that is when he took the action of self defence.

he did not fight to rule totally but to ensure true teaching of Islam and fought against those tyrant rulers of that time who are dictators and oppressors of their subject. that is even why he get support of local Hausa people there.

Note : any other reason you would get is fabricated by the enemies of Islam. if you want to know shehu Dan fodio , go and read his book and what he teach. and you will know the true reason why he fought those rulers. and yes the entire nigerian Muslims are happy he did because if not we would not find a true Islam as we did today

Nowenuse:


This is a nonsense lie that I see some Igbos ignorantly spreading on nairaland.

Igbos never encountered the fulanis at anytime in battle because the fulanis could not penetrate Benue & Igala land.
Did they fly over Benue/Kogi to get to the Igbos?

Igbos never fought fulanis nor had any contact with them until the British colonialists came.

You guys should stop spreading this lie with immediate effect and making fools of yourselves!

DerideGull:



The above crap is in line with the saying that Ilorin was not taken by Caliphate but was defeated at Ogbomosho. It was a quagmire at Ogbomoso hence it was not administer by any emirate. All Benue and Taraba were under Bauchi or Adamawa emirates. This is one reason the people from these areas thought and fought as if Ahmadu Bello was their grandfather during Nigeria/Biafra war.

Mbediogu:


It is too late for the hausas. If they complain they are shown the koran, if they rebel they are reminded about law and order, and exploits of prophet Danfodio SAW.

Odingo1:

But Kogi have high moslem population, there is a probability that they cross through kogi.

ballerin:
In other words, Hausas are eternal slave to Fulani but do not forget entirely that it takes just a spark to start a fire.

TheKingIsHere:

Maybe because they look alike and people can't really differentiate between Hausa and Fulani hence they tag them along.

For example I called one Hausa guy Fulani some time ago, the guy was so furious saying that I insulted him by calling him a Fulani.

It was that day that I knew the difference. I had to make more research and found out about Uthman Dan fodio and how he conquered the Hausas.

Nowenuse:


This is the useless lie that you fulanis spread to deceive gullible northerners ba? Don't worry, we are in the age of enlightenment, that lie will soon be fully exposed.

Islam was never ' purified by Danfodio' (as you claim) in Kanuri land, Igala land and Yoruba land. .....

So, are you saying that Kanuri muslims, Igala muslims & Yoruba muslims who defeated your Danfodio are not true muslims today?

TheKingIsHere:

Hmm. I have learnt something from your post.

Please permit me to ask 2 questions

1. If the yorubas don't take the sultan of sokoto seriously then why do they wait for him to declare that he has seen the moon before any muslim in SW can celebrate salah?

2. Who is the Islamic superior leader for muslims in SW if not the sultan of sokoto?

But Kogi have high moslem population, there is a probability that they cross through kogi.
