Lugard perceived them to be more civilized than the animist negro.

Good point. I don’t disagree with any of that but even though their conquest was on pause, their ambition was and is still alive.

Ojukwu also refused to play the dumb nigger role too which seal the fate of Biafra.

Before the civil war how powerful was the Fulani? The fact is Nigerian people handed over to Fulani after they connived with Fulani against Igbos and in turn what did Nigerians get as reward after their connivance with Fulani? a messed up country and a demonic constitution that has put Nigerians in chains and checks of the Caliphate.

True Fulani was very subservient to them I guess while Yorubas and Igbos were showing them pepper in South they thought them a lesson[/s]

horsepower101:


Gbam!!!!

But they won’t like the bitter truth. Nigerians actually helped Fulanis to finalize their plans.

This is part of the reasons why I have my reservation for the middlebelt.

Anyway everyone is now suffering the consequences.

Aderr:
Go and read about how the Yoruba's opposed lugard's tax program in Lagos and how the aba women fought against British system in the east.

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.

Osaze007:
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

QuotaSystem:
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.

Kapilta:
please remove pa Awo from the thing abeg. Was it not useless zik that turn himself to slave for the north even when they didn't ask for his slavery service. He fought Awo for no reason when the man was only trying to protect his own, zik went behind him and align with the fulanis just to become a useless ceremonial president. Such a useless greedy fellow. May he rot in hell.

Nigeria failure started on him, even the north really do not want one nigeria, he forced it on them all for greediness so he can have lagos all to himself..

Such a useless fellow. May he rot in hell again, he's the major reason we are all here today.

juman:
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.

ProudDick:
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.

Which yoruba/yarriba? Don't ever lump Igbo with yoruba again. British only fear Igbo because they know Igbos belong to a type of black people called "Negro/Black Hebrew." Yorubas, Hausa and Fulani belong to what we call "Hamite black people" Yoruba are more subservient than Fulani. British created Yarriba in 1850s by bringing Dahomeys from Togo into SW to serve as a tool and a helper to Fulani for them in Nigeria.

Why Yoruba/Yarriba was created and who are they.

The same scenario played out with emergence of Buhari as president. Trust me in the next 20 to 30 years a likely question would surface as "how did Nigerians manage to elect Buhari as civilian President after his past dictatorial tendencies and woeful economic policies as military head of state"

To an extent your emotion towards Zik is not entirely out of place. Even we Igbos do not understand the rationale behind some of his political decisions. But it is now more than fifty years since the whole brouhaha, civil war inclusive. Why have the Yorubas not wrestle political machinery from the northerners especially with the Igbos out of the picture.

What are your plans to extricate your self out of political slavery and domination from people you are obviously better than. When will you say no to your future being decided at the whims of the caliphate. Zik is late God rest his soul. What is the plan of the south West? Is the situation beyond redemption?

They did
They designed the power to favour them
Middle belt belongs to east & west but British snatched the entire middle belt to north
Benue and kwara created their own party Umbc and even aligned with AG remember?

Meanwhile, DNA shows the Yorubas have a higher proportion of Hebrew Israelites than the Igbos.
