Why Did The British Favour The Fulani So Much by Osaze007: 2:25am On Nov 17, 2019 |
I was just wondering What is middlebelt today wasn’t North it was for west and east Also if you look at fight for independence you see mainly Yoruba Igbo Niger delta But when it was time to hand over power Na Fulani Dem give During civil war Fulani enjoyed British support During military rule same thing So any reasons for this particular phenomenon Also shame on zik and Awo for not working together If they did Nigeria would have been built into an equitable union not the one they were antagonist against each other 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Because the whites do not like black people who stand up to them...the Fulanis realized that and pretended to be fools so they British hand over the entire country to them. 23 Likes |

The British met the Fulanis in the middle of conquest. They were both doing the same thing when they met each other. Being that none of them are originally Nigerians or indigenous to Nigeria, it was easy for them to relate. The Fulanis submitted to the British on the condition that they won’t interrupt their conquest in the North and also will not build missionary schools in the North to spread Christianity and western education. 24 Likes 3 Shares |

horsepower101: Nope the British defeated the Fulani Kaniru has defeated Fulani Yoruba had defeated Fulani Othman dan fossil was killed in Benue Infact Tiv in Benue halted Fulani expansion So effectively they were comatose But the love for Fulani by white also is in French colonies The white French especially the Sahel country handed over power to them I don’t think it’s conquest Remember edo empire was also expanding and they didn’t favour them the way they favoured Fulani I think it’s more of the subservient niggas they like 11 Likes 1 Share |

Osaze007: Zik was a product of his experience. He studied in America and saw the racist treatment of black peoples. Just like kwame Nkrumah, he was a an Africanist. He wanted a united Africa. Looking back now, it was a fantasy and a big disaster. We may all have different shades of black skin but we are not the same. We have fundamentally different value systems. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Osaze007: A little education leads to a little information. A little information leads to a little knowledge A Little knowledge leads to a little more question A little more question leads to people calling you Igboman A little after that, they call you Biafran ..and then you'll soon be sounding like Nnamdi Kalu!

Re: Why Did The British Favour The Fulani So Much by QuotaSystem: 6:12am On Nov 17, 2019 |
1. The British met an organized people that had already developed administrative systems with emirs and their ruling councils which made it much easier for them to govern through the indirect rule system. This is documented in several historical books on the subject. 2. To suggest it was due to subservience is total rubbish. Sokoto fought several wars against the British in the 19th century and even defeated them in one battle. There is a throne (chair) sitting in the Sokoto museum to this day, which was gifted by the Queen of England to one of the early Sultans, and had the sculpture of a slave in chains at the top. The Sultan refused to sit on the throne until the sculpture was cut off from the shoulder up; another act of defiance from the sultanate. 2 Likes |

One would say, you dont know what you are saying. Fulani is minority tribe in nigeria. If they talk about north, north does not mean fulani. The big tribe there is hausa, while yobe and borno are distinctively different tribe. Gombe has about half christian population. Big christian population also in taraba and adamawa. 2 Likes |

IGBOSON1: Severe delusion of grandeur. Zik was so busy in partnership with the North (to the utter disgust of Awo), so if you claim the North was being controlled by the British, it only means Zik was also under control of the British through the Northerners. Think. 7 Likes

Re: Why Did The British Favour The Fulani So Much by RTSC: 6:56am On Nov 17, 2019 |
QuotaSystem:Zik was in partnership with whoever and whatever would preserve Nigeria's unity. Unlike your terrible bigoted leaders, he was about Nigeria first and foremost. That is why you have a united Nigeria today even when the north wanted to leave(which zik should have allowed in hindsight). And the Brits hated him because he was among the southern leaders angling for an independent state. The north didn't care. They have always been happy with mediocrity. They would have been the last country on earth to gain independence without the South. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Tafawa Balewa, Gowon, IBB, Abacha, abdulsalam are not fulani. There are many tribes in core north but they manage to work together. But you should noted that there are millions of pdp followers in core north just as apc has its millions of followers as well. 1 Like |

The British never handed over to the Fulani. An election was conducted in 1959 and the zik and balewa joined forces to win majority vote. Balewa was not Fulani. Stop advertising your ignorance on a public forum. 3 Likes |
