I am amazed at times but Igbos have turned Yorubas to what Yorubas detested culturally..chest beating..TISU ENI BA TA,A FOWO BO JE NI...Yoruba elders in the house can correct me if I make any mistake in that proverb.
But I do think like somebody said that it is a game of wits.Truth be said there is none..I respect all the other tribes..that had gotten the achievements of the Yorubas..in the olden days and now...
All Nigerians are doing great home and abroad.I read somewhere that the best and brainiest family in USA or is it UK, was a beautiful Edo family.
In education,happenings have shown that the Yorubas are tops while the Igbos are behind them.This list confirms the superiority of the Yorubas in anything related to intelligence and brain (or cunning..which is extra smartness ).Both tribes are very good but I have seen that Yoruba just always has an edge.
Kudos to the guys from the various tribes in Nigeria.GO,GO,THE SKY IS YOUR LIMIT.

Well said my brother. The performance in recent years is embarrassing.

The problem with some people having successes in jamb,neco exams is the Miracle Centres thing.Even some northern states beat south west which was very disheartening.Our educationists should sit up.The SE guys are also trying and giving the Yorubas a run for their money but the achievements of the Yorubas in education though still tower over any other group,should be upped up.As per mathematics in the world in relation to blacks...Africa and Diaspora...Yoruba rules the mathematics world
http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/madgreatest.html
and this feat is not a surprise to me.Kudos to all the guys.

God will surely expose them.But my Igbo brethrens really committed a lot of mistakes with all the official and unofficial information they had before the attack and they still left everything to our fumbling police.I pray it doesn't happen again.

Junior66:
u dnt know noting. check the only topic i have ever created, isnt it on fulani herdsmen? Dat should tell u dat i know dem very well.

Fourteen villagers returning from the Mosque were
killed in a remote village in Dekina local
government yesterday morning. The victims who
are mostly children and women were returning
from early morning prayers when the murderous
herdsmen struck. The group of Herdsmen are
reportedly led by a woman and have attacked
other neighboring villages in recent times. The
Fulani Herdsmen also attacked Itakpe and Ate-uge
this morning leaving an unconfirmed number of
people dead. More updates latter.[/quote]That is your topic?What the....are you fulani?

Beeman1:

In what was suspected to be a reprisal
attack, a Fulani herdsman identified as
Dan Bako was Wednesday killed in Ilara-
Mokin in Ifedore Local Government Area
of Ondo State.
This is coming barely a week after an
Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) member,
Mr Ayodele Ige was killed in the farm of
Chief Olu Falae in Ilado in Akure Local
Government Area of the state.
The head of the Fulani herdsmen in the
state, Alhaji Alli Dongo and Babangida
Sodiq Kusada, the Chairman of Hausa
community in Akure kingdom and the
head of Arewa community in the state,
said Dongo was declared missing after all
efforts to trace him prove abortive.
Briefing reporters in the Officers’ Mess of
the Nigerian Police Force in Akure, the
state capital, Dongo and Kusada said their
kinsman had been living in Ilara-Mokin
for the past seven years and was
preparing to relocate to his state when
the incident happened.

The leaders of Jamu Nati Fulbe Association of
Nigeria, Oyo State Chapter which represents the
Fulani ethnic community have called the
attention of the government to the gruesome
murder of about 11 herdsmen in the last six
weeks in some parts of Oke Ogun area of the
State.
National Chairman and General Secretary of the
association respectively, Alhaji Salihu Kadiri and
Mallam Muhammed Salihu Kisi signed a petition
on behalf of the group calling on Governor
Abiola Ajimobi to act urgently to prevent further
loss of lives in Oke Ogun areas.
The areas where the killings allegedly took
place, according to the Fulani ethnic community
in the state, are Otu, Ikomu, Igbo-Ora, Iwere-Ile,
Iganna, Ilaju and Ado-Awaye.
The group revealed some of those allegedly
killed as Sanni Musa, Saidu Abdulahi, Ibraheem
Haruna, Umar Babuga, Saliu Rebo and
Muhammad Usman.
The petition stated in part: “Natives, particularly
farmers and youths, kill our people at any slight
provocation. The common excuses for such
brutal killings are that our cattle are fond of
destroying their farmlands or disturbing free flow
of vehicular traffic on some major roads”.
“In the last few weeks, these persons have
invaded many Fulani clans and settlements to
commit their crime of serial murder with
impunity. This has resulted in the cold-blood
murder of at least eleven of our brothers whose
families have been left in eternal grief”, it was
revealed.

The meeting was called to order after Lam
walked into the Executive Chambers.
Introductions over, Buhari spoke on their
mission to the governor’s office. Emitting fire,
the general accused Lam and the government
of Oyo State of complicity in the killing of
over 68 Fulani people in Oke Ogun area and
perversion of justice.
His words: “Your Excellency, our visit here is
to discuss with you and your government our
displeasure about the incident of clashes
between two peoples… the Fulani cattle
rearers and merchants are today being
harassed , attacked and killed like in Saki. In
the month of May, 2000, 68 bodies of Fulani
cattle rearers were recovered and buried
under the supervision and protection from a
team of Mobile Police from Oyo State
Command.
“ That some arrests were made by Oyo State
Police Command in the massacre with their
immediate release without court trial. This
was said to have been ordered by Oyo State
authorities and they were so released to their
amazement. The release of the arrested
suspects gave the clear impression that the
authorities are backing and protecting them
to continue the unjust and illegal killings of
Fulani cattle rearers…”

It was gathered that the foundation for the clash
was laid on Tuesday after a Hausa commercial
bike rider knocked down a woman.
The bike rider was told to take the woman to the
hospital, but the rider and his colleagues refused.
They insisted that the motorbike association, which
collects tolls from them, should take care of the
woman. There was heated argument, which led to
a fight.
The fighting continued all through Wednesday till
Thursday (today) when some thugs, believed to be
of Yoruba origin, invaded the market and started
attacking the Hausas.
They burnt seven cars and killed three Hausa
traders.

hospital, but the rider and his colleagues refused.
They insisted that the motorbike association, which
collects tolls from them, should take care of the
woman. There was heated argument, which led to
a fight.
The fighting continued all through Wednesday till
Thursday (today) when some thugs, believed to be
of Yoruba origin, invaded the market and started
attacking the Hausas.
They burnt seven cars and killed three Hausa
traders.

Christopher Isiguzo writes that survivors of last
Monday’s invasion of the quiet agrarian
community of Ukpabi Nimbo in Uzouwani Local
Government Area of Enugu State by suspected
Fulani herdsmen are still reeling from the bloody
onslaught on their community
The uproar that trailed last Monday’s invasion of
the quiet agrarian community of Ukpabi Nimbo in
Uzouwani Local Government Area of Enugu State
by suspected Fulani herdsmen leading to the
killing of about 48 persons, burning of a
community church and residential buildings as
well as destruction of other valuables worth
several millions of naira may have simmered but
its impact on the lives of that once peaceful area
would remain evergreen.
Though so many people lost their lives but those
who sustained life-threatening injuries are still
gnashing their teeth wishing that fateful day never
came. At the moment, no fewer than 20 persons
scattered across different hospitals in Enugu now
have their lives on the cliffhanger. The tears still
flowing down the cheeks of a number of them
even in their state of unconsciousness speak
volume of the pain in their hearts.
From Royal Cross Specialist Hospital where two
persons including a former Councillor are
receiving treatment, to Bishop Shanahan where
six persons, three of whom are still unconscious
and Nsukka District Hospital with four persons on
their sick beds, the stories are the same. Even at
the Orthopaedic Hospital Enugu and Parklane
Hospital where about four persons were taken to,
it remains a tale of pain, agony, regret, sadness
flowing through their minds.
However, while tension has continued to grip
residents of communities who are yet to taste the
venom of the suspected rampaging herders, most
watchers and analysts are still wondering how
over 200 suspected Fulani herdsmen successfully
invaded a community and executed their plans
without anyone of them being apprehended by
either the villagers or security operatives despite
the fact that the attack was an open secret all
along. Prior, to the attack, there were reports that
something of such was about to happen. Even
among security network, the police, the local
government and the state government were
alerted but yet it was not forestalled. Alhaji Saidu
Bafo specifically told THISDAY that he had alerted
the state government of the impending attack and
expressed dismay that nothing was done to avert
it.
According to two brothers who survived the
attack, police were actually deployed to the
community the night preceding the attack but
they left around 5.30am while the herders
attacked around 6am. The two brothers, Cyprian
Ogbobe, 41, and Innocent Ogbobe, 35, are
currently on admission at Enugu State University
Teaching Hospital, Park Lane Enugu.
Cyprian, who had multiple machete cuts on his
body managed to say a few things he witnessed
on that fateful day with the assistance of his
mother, Mrs. Regina Ogbobe, currently attending
to them in the hospital. The younger Ogbobe, with
cuts on his forehead, arms and leg remained
unconscious throughout the period of the
interview. He was said to have been in that state
since the invasion of their community last
Monday.
The severely wounded Cyprian narrated that the
herdsmen came with buses but parked far away
probably at Kogi side of the border, and sneaked
into the community on foot. They probably laid
siege in the bush while monitoring the police or
being informed by an informant, who apparently
tipped them off about police departure. “My
brother, let me tell you, we really saw death with
our own eyes. This is the most wicked thing
somebody could do to a fellow human being”.
Mrs. Ogbobe who held back tears to collaborate
her son’s account noted that the herdsmen had
posed constant threats to the community over the
years. She said they usually go to farm in groups
following constant rape of women and destruction
of their farms by the cattle herders.
Even in the midst of tears, she said “we have been
hearing of all manner of stories about how Fulani
herdsmen have been clashing with farmers, but
we never knew that Monday would be our turn.
There is this young lady, I can’t immediately
remember her name, she had been away from the
village staying in South America for several years.
She just returned recently and was making
arrangements to possibly take her family along
with her to America with the aim of giving them a
good life but you can’t believe it that these
herdsmen slaughtered her with her parents. The
entire family was wiped out.

Legal minds in the house, please can you guys educate us on the gun laws of the federal Republic of Nigeria? We need to know and be informed. Looks like no place is safe anymore. We need to know who and who are legally permitted to move around with guns, and the type of guns dey are allowed to carry and under what circumstances.

Oya, put am for action nah!! and stop this SALIVA SPLUTTERING.. It won't have any effects..

The Maluders don't even understand 'ingRis'..

We have done it before and would do it again if the allegation is true.


Buhari spoke on their
mission to the governor’s office. Emitting fire,
the general accused Lam and the government
of Oyo State of complicity in the killing of over
68 Fulani people in Oke Ogun area and
perversion of justice.
His words: “Your Excellency, our visit here is to
discuss with you and your government our
displeasure about the incident of clashes
between two peoples… the Fulani cattle rearers
and merchants are today being harassed ,
attacked and killed like in Saki. In the month of
May, 2000, 68 bodies of Fulani cattle rearers
were recovered and buried under the
supervision and protection from a team of
Mobile Police from Oyo State Command.
“ That some arrests were made by Oyo State
Police Command in the massacre with their
immediate release without court trial. This was
said to have been ordered by Oyo State
authorities and they were so released to their
amazement. The release of the arrested
suspects gave the clear impression that the
authorities are backing and protecting them to
continue the unjust and illegal killings of Fulani
cattle rearers…”
According to the general, they therefore wanted
immediate stoppage of the killings, justice and
compensation to the Fulanis.

DeadWrong:
A single person posted trash, and you already concluded by saying a people. Shameless iPod yoot. go shave your smelly armpit oozing out rotten egg smell

And that single person,I suspect strongly is not a Yoruba personality but a wannabe.Fulani people know the only people who would oppose them with all their beings and win,are the Yoruba.Together with their SS and SE brethren,the law is as dead as a dodo.Divide and rule is a game played by the fulani that the Southerners had always fell for because of our mistrust for one another.ONLY A BASTARD SOUTHERNER WOULD SUPPORT THIS BILL.

joborskill:
[b]I laugh at the ignorance displayed by many emotionally clouded Nigerians who are against the grazing bill proposed for the Fulani cattle rearers in all states of the Federation. Let's remember that like every other Nigerians, the Fulani's have the right to live and do their business in any part of the country. It is their constitutional right as Nigerians to own grazing fields in any choice location of the country so far it is paid for or provided by the government. We ought to applaud the move made by the federal govt because it will help in ending the unnecessary violence between the Farmers and the Herdsmen. By provision of grazing fields, the fulani's will be restricted to graze on an apportioned land provided by the federal govt. It will be a crime for them to graze their cattles on people's farms once the bill is passed into law. We should not castigate every fulani herdmen as killers because of the few bad ones among them. The incidence in Agatu and other parts of the country were perpetuated by cattle rustlers and not Fulani herdsmen. Cattle rustlers are armed terrorist who steal cattles from herdsmen and graze them around the country as a cover up for their terrorist acts. The ordinary Fulani herdsmen are peaceful people and will never harm innocent Nigerians. The fulani's do not move around with weapons but sticks to guide their cattle. I observed most critics of this Bill are from the eastern part of the country. The igbos need to realize that the federal govt owns all the land and territories in Nigeria and it can decide on how it chooses to use every inch of its territory. The fulani's have every right to graze in the SE and there is nothing any one can do about it. It is their right as a Nigerian just like the igbos are the most travelled tribe doing business in every part of the country. We cannot decide to restrict all igbo traders to the east because of the attitude of few bad eggs amongst them likewise the Fulani's. Most Nigerians criticized the federal govt when they decide to create ranches and import grasses from Brazil to graze these cattles so the herder wont roam about. Now the FG is shifting plans to create a grazing site for the herders in every state which is not a bad move by all standards. We are one Nigeria and we must learn to tolerate ourselves and live in peace. We must shun the politics of hatred and tribalism. Lord Luggard saw the potentials in our diversity before merging us up to form this great country. We must not allow ethnicity to cloud our sense of judgement when the federal govt proposes law that will favour every Nigerian. We must support the grazing bill so the Fulani's can do their business in peace. BTW i am a Yoruba man from the SW. proudly Nigerian [/b]

I don't believe that you are a real yoruba guy.How dare you support a law that would systematically enslave you in your ancestral home.We must not mistakenly sell our birthrights because of political affiliations.

Next time, don't just copy and paste unless you understand and can distil the issues involved.

Nigeria is not adopting Chinese currency as its official currency or replacing naira with it. It is just a bilateral currency swap. This agreement will not increase our foreign reserve and if you are not importing from China, you will never get to deal in or with it.

You really are very funny.If you had read my sentences before the pasting,you wouldn't have gone through this trouble.Read and understand some other time before replying.Look before you leap.

I hope this is a short time solution because of the 70% imports mark from China as it currently stands.This is just to alleviate the sufferings of importers and give a little breathing space to the Naira.
I think it would make a lot of good if we can do either the EURO-RIZATION or DOLLARIZATION and fixed exchange thing at this moment.Some countries are doing it especially with the dollar.

Dollarization and fixed
exchange rates.

Other nations besides the United States use the
U.S. dollar as their official currency, a process
known as official dollarization. For instance,
Panama has been using the dollar alongside the
Panamanian balboa as the legal tender since
1904 at a conversion rate of 1:1. Ecuador
(2000), El Salvador (2001), and East Timor
(2000) all adopted the currency independently.
The former members of the U.S.-administered
Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, which
included Palau, the Federated States of
Micronesia , and the Marshall Islands, chose not
to issue their own currency after becoming
independent, having all used the U.S. dollar
since 1944. Two British dependencies also use
the U.S. dollar: the British Virgin Islands (1959)
and Turks and Caicos Islands (1973). The
islands Bonaire , Sint Eustatius and Saba, now
collectively known as the Caribbean
Netherlands, adopted the dollar on January 1,
2011, as a result of the dissolution of the
Netherlands Antilles. [8][9]
The U.S. dollar is an official currency in
Zimbabwe , along with the Euro , the Pound
Sterling, the Pula , the Rand , plus several other
currencies.
Some countries that have adopted the U.S.
dollar issue their own coins: See Ecuadorian
centavo coins , Panamanian Balboa and East
Timor centavo coins .
A series of Zimbabwean Bond Coins has now
been put into circulation (18 December 2014) in
the following denominations - 1 Cent, 5, 10, and
25 Cents.
A 50 Cents Bond Coin was released in March
2015.
These coins are pegged at the same rate as
American coins.
Some other countries link their currency to
U.S. dollar at a fixed exchange rate . The local
currencies of Bermuda and the Bahamas can be
freely exchanged at a 1:1 ratio for USD.
Argentina used a fixed 1:1 exchange rate
between the Argentine peso and the U.S. dollar
from 1991 until 2002. The currencies of
Barbados and Belize are similarly convertible at
an approximate 2:1 ratio. The Netherlands
Antillean guilder (and its successor the
Caribbean guilder) as well as the Aruban florin
are pegged to the dollar at a fixed rate of
1:1.79. The East Caribbean dollar is pegged to
the dollar at a fixed rate of 2.7:1, and is used
by all of the countries and territories of the
OECS other than the British Virgin Islands. In
Lebanon , one dollar is equal to 1500 Lebanese
pound , and is used interchangeably with local
currency as de facto legal tender. The exchange
rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the
United States dollar has also been linked since
1983 at HK$7.8/USD, and pataca of Macau,
pegged to Hong Kong dollar at MOP1.03/HKD,
indirectly linked to the U.S. dollar at roughly
MOP8/USD. Several oil-producing Arab
countries on the Persian Gulf, including Saudi
Arabia , peg their currencies to the dollar, since
the dollar is the currency used in the
international oil trade.
The People's Republic of China 's renminbi was
informally and controversially pegged to the
dollar in the mid-1990s at ¥ 8.28/USD.
Likewise, Malaysia pegged its ringgit at RM3.8/
USD in September 1998, after the financial
crisis . On July 21, 2005, both countries
removed their pegs and adopted managed floats
against a basket of currencies. Kuwait did
likewise on May 20, 2007, [10] and Syria did
likewise in July 2007. [11] However, after three
years of slow appreciation, the Chinese yuan
has been de facto re-pegged to the dollar since
July 2008 at a value of ¥6.83/USD; although no
official announcement had been made, the yuan
has remained around that value within a narrow
band since then, similar to the Hong Kong
dollar.
Several countries use a crawling peg model,
wherein currency is devalued at a fixed rate
relative to the dollar. For example, the
Nicaraguan córdoba is devauled by 5% per
annum. [12]
Belarus , on the other hand, pegged its currency,
the Belarusian ruble , to a basket of foreign
currencies (U.S. dollar, euro and Russian ruble)
in 2009. [13] In 2011 this led to currency crisis
when government became unable to honor its
promise to convert Belarusian rubles to foreign
currencies at fixed exchange rate. BYR
exchange rates dropped by two thirds, all
import prices rose and living standards fell. [14]
In some countries, such as Costa Rica and
Honduras , the U.S. dollar is commonly
accepted, although not officially regarded as
legal tender. In Mexico's northern border area
and major tourist zones, it is accepted as if it
were a second legal currency. Many Canadian
merchants close to the border, as well as large
stores in big cities and major tourist hotspots in
Peru also accept U.S. dollars, though usually at
a value that favours the merchant. In Cambodia ,
U.S. notes circulate freely and are preferred
over the Cambodian riel for large purchases, [15]
[16] with the riel used for change to break 1
USD. After the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan,
U.S. dollars are accepted as if it were legal
tender. Prices of most big ticket items such as
houses and cars are set in U.S.
dollars.

Not long after the introduction of the euro (€;
ISO 4217 code EUR) as a cash currency in
2002, and the Iraq War costs from
2003 [ citation needed ] , the dollar began to
depreciate steadily in value, as it did against
other major currencies. [17] From 2003 to 2005,
this depreciation continued, reflecting a
widening current account deficit. Although the
current account deficit began to stabilize in
2006 and 2007, depreciation persisted. [17] The
fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis in
2008 prompted the Federal Reserve to lower
interest rates in September 2007, [18] and again
in March 2008, [19] sending the euro to a record
high of $1.6038, reached in July 2008. [20]
In addition to the trade deficit, the U.S. dollar's
decline was linked to a variety of other factors,
including a major spike in oil prices . [21]
Economists such as Alan Greenspan suggested
that another reason for the decline of the dollar
was its decreasing role as a major reserve
currency. Chinese officials signaled plans to
diversify the nation's $1.9 trillion reserve in
response to a falling U.S. currency which also
set the dollar under pressure. [22][23]
However, a sharp turnaround began in late 2008
with the onset of the global financial crisis . As
investors sought out safe-haven investments in
U.S. treasuries and Japanese government
bonds from the financial turmoil, the Japanese
yen and United States dollar sharply rose
against other currencies, including the euro. [24]
At the same time, however, many countries
such as China ,[25] India and Russia announced
their intentions to diversify their foreign reserve
portfolios away from the U.S. dollar. [26]
The European sovereign debt crisis that
unfolded in 2010 sent the euro falling to a four-
year low of $1.1877 on June 7, as investors
considered the risk that certain Eurozone
members may default on their government
debt. [27] The euro's decline in 2008-2010 had
erased half of its 2000-2008 rally.

SonOfEl:
The "half civilized" phrase about the IGBOS meant that unlike the yorubas, Nupes, etc, the Igbo did not have many centralized forms of government. IGBOS were decentralized, often leaning to villages, clans, loose kingdoms or such like.

this remark by the author was chiefly because kingdoms and empires were highly centralized in the western world. although today, it is no more so.

HE WAS SO ECONOMICAL WITH HIS WORDS.THIS IS WHY HE CALLED IGBOS HALF CIVILISED INSTEAD OF CALLING THEM THEIR REAL NAME

meforyou1:
Yoruba revolted where when? Not only in Bahia. Why didn't you revolt in osogbo?

Yorubas do not just make mouth but their actions are very potent.

The Malê Revolt (also known as The Great Revolt) is perhaps the most significant slave rebellion in Brazil. On a Sunday during Ramadan in January 1835, in the city of Salvador da Bahia, a small group of black slaves and freedmen, inspired by Muslim teachers, rose up against the government. Muslims were called malê in Bahia at this time, from Yoruba imale that designated a Yoruba Muslim.

The uprising took place on the feast day of Our Lady of Guidance, a celebration in the Bonfim’s church’s cycle of religious holidays. As a result, many worshipers traveled to Bonfim for the weekend to pray or celebrate. Authorities were in Bonfim in order to keep the celebrations in line. Consequently, there would be fewer people and authorities in Salvador, making it easier for the rebels to occupy the city.[1]

The slaves knew about the Haitian Revolution (1791−1804) and wore necklaces bearing the image of President Dessalines, who had declared Haitian independence.
In Bahia the Hausas were primarily identified with practicing Islam because they adopted Islam before coming over to Brazil. Over time however, the Nâgo slaves made up a majority of Muslims in Bahia due to the rise of Islam in Yoruba kingdoms. In fact, by 1835 most of the Mâles were Nâgos. Furthermore, many of the key figures important in planning the uprising were Nâgos including: Ahuna, Pacífico, and Manoel Calafate.

Within the Muslim community the Mâles had power and prestige, especially the Muslims that had long standing. These members tried to attract new Mâles. They did not do so passively, but through proselytizing and conversion.

In the African Islamic culture in Brazil there were several external symbols that became associated with the Mâles. One symbol came about through the adoption of amulets. In Bahia amulets were common because they were thought to have protective powers and wore worn by both Muslims and non-Muslims. These amulets consisted of pieces of paper with passages from the Qur'an and prayers that were folded and placed in a leather pouch that was sewn shut. They were made and sold by álufas or preachers. These amulets, however, did not signify a strong commitment to Islam because they were associated with traditional, indigenous African religions. Another symbol of Islam in Bahia was the wearing of a long white frock called an abadá. In Bahia this garment was worn in private so they would not attract attention from law officials. It was only during the rebellion in 1835 that they were worn in public for the first time and were referred to as “war garments” by police. A third symbol which was used by Mâles to identify themselves prior to the uprising were white, metal, silver, or iron rings placed on their fingers. However, when the Mâles were defeated, these rings were no longer effective because now everyone knew what they meant.[2]
The Revolt
This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (January 2012)

While the revolt was scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 25, due to various incidents, it was forced to start before the planned time. On Saturday January 24, slaves began to hear rumors of an upcoming rebellion. While there are multiple accounts of freed slaves telling their previous masters about the revolts, only one was reported to the proper authorities. Sabina da Cruz, an ex-slave, had a fight with her husband, Vitório Sule the day before and went looking for him. She found him in a house with many of the other revolt organizers and after they told her tomorrow they would be masters of the land she reportedly said, “on the following day they’d be masters of the whiplash, but not of the land.”.[4] After leaving this house, she went to her friend Guilhermina, a freedwoman, who Sabina knew had access to whites. Guilhermina then proceeded to tell her white neighbor, André Pinto da Silveira. Several of Pinto de Silveira’s friends were present, including Antônio de Souza Guimarães and Francisco Antônio Malheiros, who took it upon themselves to relay the information to the local authorities.[5][6][7] All of these events occurred between the hours of 9:30 and 10:30 pm on Saturday January 24.

President Francisco de Souza Martins informed the Chief of Police of the situation, reinforced the palace guard, alerted the barracks, doubled the night patrol, and ordered boats to watch the bay, all by 11:00 pm. At around 1:00 am on Sunday, justices of the peace searched the home of Domingos Marinho de Sá. Domingos reported to the patrol that the only Africans in his house were his tenants. However, sensing Domingos’ fear, the justices asked to see for themselves. They went down into his basement and found the ringleaders, discussing last minute details. The Africans were able to turn the officers out into the streets and the begin the revolt.

Out on the streets, the fighting saw its first real bloodshed; several people were injured and two Africans were killed, including Vitório Sule, Sabina da Cruz's husband. After securing the area, the rebels split up to go in different directions throughout the city. Most of the groups did very little fighting because they were recruiters, calling slaves to war. However, the largest group traveled up the hill toward Palace Square (modern-day Praça Municipal), and continued to fight.[8][9]

The rebels decided to first attack the jail, attempting to free a Muslim leader, Pacífico Licutan. However, the prison guards proved too much for the rebels, who perhaps were looking to supplement their weak supply of arms with the jailers’. Unfortunately for the rebels, the reinforced palace guard began firing on them from across the square and they found themselves caught between lines of fire in front of the jail. Under heavy fire, the slaves withdrew from the prison and retreated to the Largo de Teatro. Reinforcements arrived on the slaves side, and together they attacked a nearby post of soldiers in order to take their weapons. They marched toward the officer's barracks, and put up a good fight, however, the soldiers were able to pull the gate guarding the barracks shut. The slaves had failed.[10][11]

The rebels worked their way towards the Vitória neighborhood, where a number of Muslim slaves lived in the English community there. They regrouped at Mercês Convent where the sacristan, a Nagô slave named Agostinho, was a member of the conspiracy. The convent was a pre-determined spot for regrouping. A police patrol came across the rebels here, but retreated from their counter-attack to Fort São Pedro—a stronghold the rebels did not try to assault. By now the rebels numbered several hundred, but they had not been able to achieve any of their goals. They now headed towards Cabrioto, outside the city to rendezvous with slaves from plantations outside Salvador. In order to get to Cabrioto, however, they would have to pass the cavalry barracks. And when they met in Água de Meninos, the most decisive battle of the revolt took place. At about 3:00 AM, the rebels reached Água de Meninos. The footsoldiers immediately retreated inside the confines of the barracks while the men on horseback stayed outside. The rebels, who now only numbered about 50–60, did not attempt to attack the barracks. Instead, they sought a way around it.[12][13]

However, they were met with fire from the barracks, followed by a cavalry charge, which proved too powerful for the rebel slaves. After the rebels were completely devastated, more slaves arrived. After assessing the situation, the slaves decided that their only hope would be to attack and take the barracks. However, this desperate attempt proved futile, and the rebels quickly decided to flee. The cavalry mounted one last charge that finished them off.[14][15]
Leadership

Ahuna - Ahuna was a Nagô slave who lived in Salvador. He traveled frequently to Santo Amaro where his owner had a sugar plantation. It has been suggested that his presence was a key factor in the timing of the rebellion.
Pacífico Lucatan - Lucatan was a Nagô slave who worked as a tobacco roller. He was in prison at the time of the rebellion, and one of the main goals was to free him.
Luís Sanim - Sanim was a Nupe slave who also worked as a tobacco roller. He ran a fund where each member contributed a day's wages for slave labor, presumably monthly, and this money was divided into three parts: one part for cloth to make Muslim garments; a part to masters' portions of slave wages—since Malê slaves did not work on Fridays; and one part to help buy letters of manumission.
Manoel Calafate - Calafate travelled to Santo Amaro to mobilize rebels on the eve of the uprising. He took an active part in the fighting and appears to have been killed in Palace Square.
Elesbão do Corma - Elesbão do Corma was a Hausa freedman who was known in the African community as Dandará. He owned a tobacco shop which was also used as a meeting place for Malês. He also traveled through the Recôncavo for his business, and brought the Muslim faith to slaves on the plantations there.[16]

Aftermath

Fearful that the whole state of Bahia would follow the example of Saint-Domingue (Haiti) and rise up and revolt, the authorities quickly sentenced four of the rebels to death, sixteen to prison, eight to forced labour, and forty-five to flogging. The remainder of the surviving leaders of the revolt were then deported back to Africa by the authorities; it is believed that some members of the Brazilian community in Lagos, Nigeria, Tabom People of Ghana are descended from this deportation, although descendants of these Afro-Brazilian repatriates are reputed to be widespread throughout West Africa (such as Sylvanus Olympio, the first president of Togo). The term "Aguda" on the other hand refers to the mainstream, predominantly Christian Brazilian returnees to Lagos who brought Roman Catholicism in their wake; which is why that denomination is often referenced in Yoruba as "Ijo Aguda" (The Portuguese Church). Fearing the example might be followed, the Brazilian authorities began to watch the malês very carefully and in subsequent years intensive efforts were made to force conversions to Catholicism and erase the popular memory and affection towards Islam. However, the African Muslim community was not erased overnight, and as late as 1910 it is estimated there were still some 100,000 African Muslims living in Brazil.[17]

Many consider this rebellion to be the turning point of slavery in Brazil. While slavery existed for more than fifty years following the Malê Revolt, the slave trade was abolished in 1851. Slaves continued to pour into Brazil immediately following the rebellion, which caused fear and unrest among the people of Brazil. They feared that bringing in more slaves would just fuel another rebel army. Although it took a little over fifteen years to happen, the slave trade was abolished in Brazil, due in part to the 1835 rebellion.[18]
