| Politics / Re: NIGERIA LANDMASS: Distribution According To Geo-political Regions by jjcena(m): 1:22pm |
It's shameful when adults come online to talk geographical land mass like it they have used it to achieve anything meaningful. As large as the north is, yet what exactly have they done with it. The herdsmen still come to the south to cause havoc in the name grazing.. As small as the south is yet they are more productive than both human capacity and natural resources, if only the gold in zamfara was deemed a national property then we would know the real worth. The bigger the landmass, the more problematic it is, the smaller the landmass the more productive an area is in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

| Nairaland / General / Current Petrol Price Per Litre In Nigeria As Of 22 April 2024 ✅ by AprokoBlogger: 4:07pm On Apr 22 |
STAT UPDATED VIST HERE FOR MORE FUTURE UPDATE DAILY AT 👉👉https://segunratings.com/CurrentPetrolUpdate Current Petrol Prices Across Nigeria as of April 22, 2024 As we navigate through fluctuating global oil prices, keeping up with local fuel costs is essential for budgeting and planning, whether for personal travel or managing logistics in businesses. As of today, the national average price for petrol in Nigeria stands at N630 per litre. This figure serves as a crucial indicator for both economists and the general populace, reflecting the ongoing energy trends and their impact on daily life. Below, we provide a detailed breakdown of the petrol prices in all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as recorded on April 22, 2024. It's important to remember that these prices can vary between different petrol stations across the country, influenced by factors such as transportation costs, local taxes, and supply chain dynamics. State-by-State Petrol Price List: (Note: The prices are provided in Nigerian Naira per litre.) Abia: N630 Adamawa: N630 Akwa Ibom: N630 Anambra: N630 Bauchi: N630 Bayelsa: N630 Benue: N630 Borno: N630 Cross River: N630 Delta: N630 Ebonyi: N630 Edo: N630 Ekiti: N630 Enugu: N630 Gombe: N630 Imo: N630 Jigawa: N630 Kaduna: N630 Kano: N630 Katsina: N630 Kebbi: N630 Kogi: N630 Kwara: N630 Lagos: N630 Nasarawa: N630 Niger: N630 Ogun: N630 Ondo: N630 Osun: N630 Oyo: N630 Plateau: N630 Rivers: N630 Sokoto: N630 Taraba: N630 Yobe: N630 zamfara: N630 FCT (Abuja): N630 While these prices are currently stable, petrol costs are highly sensitive to both international market shifts and domestic factors. Consumers and businesses alike should stay informed about potential price adjustments. Monitoring fuel prices can help in planning more effectively for travel and budgeting, especially in sectors where fuel costs constitute a significant operational expense. For those on the road or planning to travel, always consider checking the latest fuel prices as part of your trip planning process to ensure a smooth and cost-effective journey. Remember, the energy market is dynamic, and changes can occur swiftly. Always stay updated with reliable sources for the most current information on fuel prices across Nigeria.

Remove Kano from your list Sabongari is the only place you can consume alcohol in Kano From Royal palace to Simon place , a beer is even more expensive than the average bar in Lagos Zoladon. Matrix. African center , European center ( prices of beer is also the same price as Lagos Places like Tahir and Bristol which are high end are also competitive to high end hotels in Lagos Sokoto (only place you can get a bottle of beer is airport road and Kwanawa A bit of Giginya hotel too Or you go to mammy where it is cheaper ab it Bauchi ( ATBU way ) Bubbles, Old Trafford etc is where you can only drink alcohol except you go to hideouts which isn't safe enough Beer isn't cheap there also except you go drink in mammy Gombe (Tunfure ) same as bauchi Adamawa ( Jimeta or Nurman ) Wayam hotel or Barracks road is where beer is sold as you can't consume beer anywhere . There are joints and hideout in jimeta though ( brothels ) and Beer is cheaper here though compared to Lagos as a bottle of trophy still goes for N500 Kaduna is where beer is consumed very well in Aves and Zaria more than anywhere in the north Barnawa (Libya road ) Disney Park and a host of hotels sell beer at high prices like the average price in Lagos Sabo , Kaakuri , Angwua-pama , Television, Malali. Narayi all sell beer in lounges , bars and open bars and beer isn't cheaper than you get in Lagos Inface places like Disney park which is an open bar and lounge and Bridge park in Narayi sell higher than the average bar in Lagos Zarin (GRA) na here beer cost pass Zarin has only one club which is situated close to the barracks but a lot of hotels and bar s in PZ area and GRA zamfara ,there is this hotel in Gusau ,cant remember the name , also supermarkets sell beer in can But na mammy sure pass as beer is sold cheaper than you get in Lagos Mammy anywhere in the north sells beer and chops like a sun and catfish everywhere Katsina (Yaya madaki way ) has lots of bar s who sells beer and that is the only state with Minna in the north I know which prices are way cheaper than prices in Lagos Minna (Tunga and Minna town has big hotels that sells beer and chops both large and small bars So in conclusion , demand is low in the north , but due to the fact that beer is harem due to sharia laws , you can only get it in restricted areas ,so everybody goes there to drink and prices are not relatively cheaper as people think since they know you don't have a choice than pay . 3 Likes |

| Politics / 10th NASS: Orji Kalu Tops List Of Ex-Govs with Most Sponsored number of Bills by Naijadaily: 2:35pm On Apr 22 |
...4 Ex - Govs,21 other Senators Sponsor Zero Bill in 10 Months Kenneth Udeh from Abuja Lawmaker representing Abia North Senatorial District, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has sponsored the highest number of bills among the list of former Governors in the Senate. According to a document published by Daily Trust newspaper, The Chairman Senate Committee on Privatisation is the only Lawmaker who sponsored the highest number of bills among 13 ex Governors in the Senate in the last 10 Months. Among the entire 109 Senators , Four of the 13 Governors and 21 other Senators are yet to sponsor any bill since June 13, 2023 when the 10th National Assembly was inaugurated, Daily Trust’s findings revealed. Of all the former governors in the Senate, Senator Orji Kalu (APC-Abia North) has five bills to his name: the Coastal and Inland Shipping (Cabotage) Act (Amendment) Bill, 2023; the Armed Forces Act (Amendment) Bill, 2024; the Compulsory Free Universal Basic Education Act (Amendment) Bill, 2024; the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill, 2024 and the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Agency Act (Amendment) Bill, 2024.

The document further revealed that from June 13, 2023 to March 14, 2024, twenty five senators, including four former governors, have not sponsored any bill. The former governors on this list are Senators Seriake Dickson (PDP-Bayelsa West), Adams Oshiomhole (APC-Edo North), Abdulaziz Yari (APC -zamfara West) and Simon Lalong (APC – Plateau South). Other senators, who are also yet to sponsor any bill within the period under review are Victor Umeh (Anambra Central), Titus Tartenger Zam (Benue North West), Anthony Ani (Ebonyi South), Imasuen Neda Bernards (Edo South), Oluwole Fasuyi Cyril (Ekiti North), Okechukwu Ezea (Enugu North), Chukwu Chizoba (Enugu East), Kaila Samaila Dahuwa (Bauchi North), Abdul Ningi (Bauchi Central), Khabeeb Mustapha (Jigawa South West), Rufai Hanga (Kano Central), Abdulaziz Yar’adua (Katsina Central), Mohammed Dandutse Muntari (Katsina South), Peter Jiya (Niger South), Adegbonmire Adeniyi Ayodele (Ondo Central), Oyewumi Kamorudeen Olalere (Osun West), Pam Dachungyang (Plateau North), Onyesoh Allwell Heacho (Rivers East), Ibrahim Lamido (Sokoto East), Manu Haruna (Taraba Central) and Musa Mustapha (Yobe East). However, Ani, Dachungyang and Mustapha were inaugurated into the Senate at later dates. Following the former Abia Governor closely is Senator Gbenga Daniel (APC-Ogun East) who has four bills to his credit they are :the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure Act (Amendment) Bill, 2024; the Federal College of Aviation Technology (Establishment) Bill, 2023; the Terminal Illness Trust Fund (Establishment) Bill, 2023 and the Media Practitioners Registration Council of Nigeria (Amendment) Bill, 2024. Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former governor of Akwa Ibom State has sponsored the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (Alteration) Bill, 2023 and the National Institute for Electoral Studies (Establishment) Bill, 2023. Senator Danjuma Goje (APC-Gombe Central), former governor of Gombe State, has so far sponsored two bills in this Assembly: the Federal University of Horticulture Dadin-Kowa, Gombe State (Establishment) Bill and the Federal Medical Centre Act (Amendment) Bill, 2023. Related News Don decries ineffective communication among professionals, elite "Tunde an inspiration for the youths,", Sen Abiru hails constituent's record-breaking chess feat Ogun Assembly Speaker urges residents to engage in routine medical check-ups Another former governor of Gombe State, Senator Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo (PDP- Gombe North), has sponsored the Federal University of Education (Technical), Gombe (Establishment) Bill, 2023 and the Federal College of Forestry, Wawa Zange, Dukku, Gombe State (Establishment) Bill, 2023. The immediate past governor of Niger State, Senator Abubakar Bello (APC- Niger North), has also sponsored two bills: the Institute of Information and Communication Technology, Wushishi, Niger State (Establishment) Bill, 2023 and the Agriculture Research Council of Nigeria Act (Enactment) Bill, 2023. A former governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aliyu Wammako (APC-Sokoto North), has also sponsored two bills: the National War College Act (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and the Pension Reform Act (Amendment) Bill, 2024. The immediate past governor of Sokoto and former speaker of the House of Representatives, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal (PDP-Sokoko South), is the sponsor of the Federal Housing Authority Act (Amendment) Bill, 2023. A former governor of Kebbi State, Senator Adamu Aliero (PDP-Kebbi Central) has sponsored the Federal University, Birnin Kebbi (Establishment) Bill, 2023. Findings also showed that while none of those four senators has sponsored any bill yet; nine others have at least a bill each to their credit. It reported that between June 2023 and March 14, 2024, a total of 279 bills had been sponsored in the Senate. When contacted for comments Senator Oshiomhole said that he was working on a bill and would soon present it to the floor of the Senate. His media aide, Victor Oshioke, told the press that his principal had sponsored a motion on the Benin-Auchi Road. “So, he is sponsoring his own bill very soon too,” he said Senator Lalong’s media aide, Simon Makut, in a text message, said: “The distinguished senator will sponsor bills.” Senators Dickson and Yari did not respond to requests for comment. Dickson neither answered phone calls nor responded to SMS and WhatsApp messages sent to him for comment since Friday and subsequent reminders were also ignored. Political analysts, who commented on the matter , advised the former governors yet to sponsor bills to wake up. Aminu Yakudima, said having former governors in the National Assembly is expected to deepen aggregate governance quality in the country. “But, it will be bad if the former governors are there without performing. So, such former governors should be advised to improve their effectiveness and efficiency so that the country will move forward. “What we are looking for now is patriotism and nationalism. We have high expectations of them. So, they should be advised to wake up from their slumber and improve,” he urged. Another political analyst, Jackson Lekan Ojo, also said the former governors in the Senate must step up and deliver on their mandates to remain relevant or face more criticisms from Nigerians. “While it is obvious that they retired from the office of governor to the Senate to keep their political career alive and remain relevant in the scheme of things, they should also contribute to the growth of their zones and Nigeria through impactful legislation,” he stated. https://sunnewsonline.com/10th-nass-orji-kalu-leads-with-most-number-of-bills-as-4-of-13-ex-governors-sponsor-none/?amp

| Crime / Re: Boko Haram Bomb Experts Surrender To Military In Borno by onuman: 2:20pm On Apr 22 |
JimohMomoh: Tinubu government may not recruit the Boko Haram people into the army. Tinubu, like most of the Muslims from the SW region, will not touch sharia criminal justice system, not even with a long spoon. Boko Haram says it's fighting for a country to be governed with Sharia criminal laws. Sharia criminal laws include stoning blasphemous persons to death, stoning women to death for adultery, cutting out the hands of thieves and other obsolete punishment systems. Buhari vowed in Kaduna in 2001 before a large crowd of Muslims, that he would not relent until sharia criminal laws are applied in all the states of Nigeria. One of the earliest demands of Alhaji Tanko Mohammed appointed Chief Justice of Nigeria by Buhari was for Islamic sharia criminal justice system be included in Nigeria's Constitution. He added: "after all, we have the numbers in the National Assembly" to include sharia criminal justice system in the constitution. Mostly Muslim military leaders from the North who sponsored the 1999 constitution refused inclusion of sharia criminal justice system in the constitution, unarguably because they knew the chaos it can cause in a country nearly equally divided between Muslims and Christians. But Sani Yerima introduced Sharia criminal laws in zamfara state in 1999 when he was governor. The other 11 far north states quickly adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal laws. Thereafter, the sharia wars broke out in the north. A BBC female Reporter then asked Yerima if he did not understand that his sharia criminal laws would lead to break up of Nigeria. |

We are not ripe for state police. Ultimately, the problem is funding for me. All my other objections, I have dismissed them, even the tribalism and religion one. If state police is going to be tribalistic, they will end up losing investors. Bad news. SO, state police is going to work. But funding is a big problem. A BIG PROBLEM. States that most cannot pay the current mininum wage, talkless new wage...are now going to fund state police. Okay. Either state starts charging everyone tax...which I know Nigerians don't like, or they take loan, and more loan. (Forget federal funding. ). We too dey like copy other countries. Yes, USA Has state police, and also USA has a diversifed economy with everyone..almost everyone...paying taxes. Not like Nigeria where most of us do not pay tax. Even the one we pay, can only cover 20% of our income. We are not funding our National police force well enough...we spend less than one tenth what New York CITY (Not the state ) spends to police 200 million people. It's a miracle we have not crashed into anarchy by now. Yet we expect the NPF to perform like NYPD. Na magic thinking be that. If I suggest we should do things like pay tax, remove subsides to find more money, and so forth, people will abuse me. Yet people are here calling for state police that their state cannot fund. Some will even call for regions to come back so that we can have regional police...it's like people do not know why we have states, and no, it is not because of Gowon. State issues started in the first republic...that is why we ended up with Midwestern region...and we would have even gotten middle belt region if not for the 66 coup. LIke now, zamfara state is poor, broke and has a massive kidnapping problem and bandit issue. It needs a state police that is well armed, and has things like drones, aeroplanes, tactical gear, good arms, and specialist commando style police. How is it going to be funded? From the state's brokeass funds. Same for kaduna. Lagos needs a proper urban force...HECK, Lagos needs a police force like the NYPD , with funding of 10 billion dollars or more per annum...otherwise it would be ineffective. Borno, we know. Even Anambra and Enugu need a well funded force...with esn. I haven't mentioned fulani herdsmen issues...you need something like a well armed police force AND a well armed specialist SPESTNAZ (google it) type force. Otherwise, wahala go start. I tell you, unless we are ready to make some tough sacrfices, instead of expecting oil money to cover everything....we can't have state police. God knows, I wish it was otherwise. We never even adequately fund our own police force self...with wretched housing on top. Are we all ready to pay half our income, including people in villages, and poor city dwellers...in tax, to ensure that we get a well functioning state police. And please, that thing called security vote....e no fit fund am. 85 Likes 2 Shares |

| Politics / 2,583 Nigerians Killed, 2,164 Abducted In 3 Months – Report by treesun: 8:58am On Apr 22 |
At least 2,583 people were killed and 2,164 kidnapped in the first quarter of this year, a data from Beacon Security and Intelligence Limited, a security risk management and intelligence company based in Abuja, has shown. The data, which recorded the number of killings and abductions across the country from January to March, showed that 80 percent of the killings and 94 percent of the abductions occurred in the North. This report, however, conflicts with the position espoused by the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, who said that the casualty figures were going down. The consulting firm’s report showed that an average of 28 persons were killed and 24 kidnaped daily. Benue: 11,000 displaced households get ActionAid’s intervention Al-Hikmah varsity matriculates 1,214 students, warns against vices The Minister of Defence, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, had earlier this month, during the maiden edition of the annual lecture series organised by the Nigerian Army Resource Centre in Abuja, said the security situation had improved. National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu Casualty figures in zones, states The data from the Beacon Security and Intelligence Limited revealed that of the people killed during the period, 793 were from the North-West, 681 from the North-East and 596 from the North-Central. The casualties were recorded from bandits’ attacks, farmers/herders’ conflicts and communal clashes. The South-West recorded 194 killings, the South-South, 161 people; and South-East, 158. The five states with the highest number of killings were Borno, 517; Benue, 313; Katsina, 252; zamfara, 212 and Kaduna, 206. Abductions The data showed that of the 2,164 persons abducted within the period, 1,297 were kidnapped in the North-West, 421 in the North-East, 330 in the North-Central, 30 in the South-West, 66 in the South-South and 20 in the South-East. Kaduna State recorded the highest number of abductees with 546; zamfara, 447; Borno, 340; Katsina, 252 and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), 102. Experts hopeful Tinubu will tackle challenges Security analysts, who spoke to Daily Trust, said the numbers of killings and abductions that happened in the first quarter of this year reflected a broader pattern of escalating violence and insecurity that had enveloped the North in particular, disrupting lives and instilling fears in the populace. One of them, Ahmed Getso, observed that the intensification of coordinated security operations by security agencies had compelled criminals to migrate, seeking new territories to evade the law enforcement focus. “When security forces concentrate their efforts on high-risk areas, criminals tend to relocate to different communities,” Getso said. He said the present administration was receptive of criticisms regarding security challenges. He said this was contrary to the security approach of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, which he described as largely dismissive of calls for reforms, criticisms and commentaries from experts, professionals and academics. The CEO of Beacon consulting firm, Kabiru Adamu, in an interview with Daily Trust, attributed the security challenge in the North to ineffective justice system, poor land administration policies, presence of non-state armed groups, ungoverned spaces, porous borders as well as proliferation of small arms and light weapons. He said the large youth population lacking education and skillsets, as well as a governance system failing to meet the developmental needs of the people poses serious challenges. Adamu said the nation’s security challenges could best be improved through collaboration among security sector organisations, federal and state governments as well as neighbouring countries. We’ve reduced casualty figures – Ribadu The NSA, had in a pre-Convocation lecture he delivered at the Usmanu DanFodiyo University, Sokoto, on Thursday, said the present administration had made serious progress in reducing casualty figures from terrorists’ attacks. He said, “Since the coming of this administration, we have not seen any organised terrorist attack. Roads hitherto unsafe for commuters, for instance the Abuja- Kaduna, Zaria-Kano are today secure for travellers at any time of the day. “We are not out of the woods yet, but we have made serious progress in pushing down casualty figures and depriving miscreants access to weapons and free movement. Since assuming office, we have also successfully freed over a thousand individuals, many of whom were villagers held captive for as long as two to three years. We successfully secured the release of abducted students from the Federal University of Gusau and school children from Kuriga without paying ransom. “Our non-kinetic strategies and approach are driven by evidence. We have strengthened the administration of criminal justice by reopening trials of Boko Haram terrorism suspects detained in Kanji and other locations across the country and prosecutions are now underway in eight different courts. “Concurrently, we have significantly reduced the proliferation of arms nationwide by blocking the flows and arresting gunrunners”, he said. Ribadu said estimates suggested there are over 300 bandit warlords, each commanding at least 50 fighters operational across different regions of Northern Nigeria. “Like in the pre-colonial era, kinship and community ties continue to play significant roles in banditry, with bandit groups often operating within defined ethnic or kinship lines, forming bandit families or clans. “These groups rely on extensive networks of informants, safe houses, and community support to evade authorities or rival factions. The loyalty within these families and the code of silence among community members have made it challenging for authorities to effectively combat banditry,” the NSA stated. https://dailytrust.com/2583-nigerians-killed-2164-abducted-in-3-months-report/ |

U don't know what a failed country is. U think it is by the kangaroo economy it runs. Nigeria is akin to a failed nation. A country that almost everyone beat the traffic light. A nation that allows its soldiers to ramsack a village and eliminate whomever they see. A nation that Ambush its soldiers at will. A nation where the gold in zamfara belongs to bandits and tge rich in zamfara while the oil and gas in the southern region belongs to the North. A nation where the poor is jailed for stealing food just survive while their politicians negotiate their loots and are set free. A nation where some regions hate themselves more than those causing the actual problems (politicians). A nation that uses the poor to set an example. A nation that allows scammers to scam u via a bank and still can not probe the scammer using the same electronic means. A nation that cannot provide employment for her citizens can not be a successful nation but a failed nation. A nation where the children of the poor are either roaming the street while the children of the rich are in NNPC,FIRS,CBN,PENCOM,DPR and name it. A nation where most graduates that clocked 40 are still at their parents home without a job is a failed nation...an embarrassment to the continent. helinues: |
| Politics / Yoruba Farmers And Fulani Herdsmen Peace Agreement; My Worries by Oodua2024: 6:12am On Apr 22 |
Yoruba Farmers and Fulani Herdsmen Peace Agreement; My Worries Ibadan peace agreement, a recipe to handover our ancestral land to the Fulani Herdsmen voluntarily The news about the latest peace deal signed by some Yoruba leaders/ farmers and Leadership of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association MACBAN) in Ibadan Oyo state gives me goose pimples knowing the recompense awaits us in a near future These same groups have had several peace agreements at community.local government, state and national levels, with the opposing group flouting the source of the agreement. It beats my imagination to see that this same group would approach someone on their land, encroach on people's ancestral land, destroy their crops, rape the women and maim farmers on their land without recompense. When are the Yoruba group are going to rise up and face the big elephant in the room and call it out, as people in the South East region of Nigeria are resolute, pretty ready not to allow pastoralists have a semblance of aboard in their region talkless of owning up to have the gots of requesting they want to sign a peace accord with the owner on their land, I want to sound. A STRONG NOTE OF WARNING to the Yoruba group that incident happening now in Mangu council area of Plateau state, several killings in Taraba, Kanuna South, zamfara and Benue states were as a result of this compromise with a group, whose interests are to earnest your land for their pastoralists gains. What is the business of the Fulani in the bushes of many states in the South West because here lies my interest? From a broader perspective, Animal husbandry is a multi billion dollars business in United State of America, Norway, South Africa Howland, even in the carribean states . Why is our own different from other countries , if not that their somethings in this mix, for a group of people most Nigerians are doing all they could to keep them away from their forest, these are the people Yoruba people are embracing in the name of signing one dirty peace accord with them, This is a decoy that will make them have more access to your territory more than they were, because Fulani Tribe are intenary group like the Igbo tribe, whose interest are to acquire that resource you have, but not taken proper care of it It is only in the South West that I discover they sell land outrightly to willing buyers, something that can not happen in South East region of Nigeria, they rather lease out the land to the buyer for a closer range of years. What are we afraid of or what is the cause of this cowardly act that makes the people not to face their challenge and address it squarely . I want everyone involved in the charade they tagged peace accord with the Fulani people, to see it as an action that will hunt the region in the future . Cattle rearing is a business everywhere in the world, because they are in it to make profits , so what their business in our fiorest? I have read many articles in the last how this group penetrate each locator with this their disguise pastoralist mission , that will snowball into full scale dragging of the land with their host , killing them, rapping their women and chasing their people out of their land, these are the same people Yoruba people are now dialoguing with to have a peace accord, We demand a reversal of that charade they claim they did over the week and everyone should return to status quo of having Herders barred from grazing openly in all the South west states and Farmers should not be hindered from gaining access to their farms. This brings us to the quest for an urgent anti-grazing bill be enacted in all the South west states and Kwara to impede further encroachment of this set of people into our land. If we fail to act now, if we delay in doing the right thing, our unborn generations will CURSE US, if they do not have a land of their own again, that would have been taking over by this group, Houses of assembly in Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, Kwara and Lagos, should uniformly enact an Anti-Gracing Law in the states, with strong community security outfit like like the Amotekun, that will be established to flush out these people out of our forests. If we fail to act today, posterity will judge you as a government official, Lawmaker, Governors of the states mentioned, state and federal lawmakers from the zone and traditional institutions to do everything to protect out land that is currently being threatened to be taken away from us by the Fulani Herdsmen and their leaders. No one should play politics with this matter of urgent action, political party affiliation should not hold this Existential task of saving our LAND from being TAKING OVER from us by this FULANI HERDSMEN . NOTE: We should drop the FULANI giving YORUBA name and activate our Omo-Lua- Bi that we are known for . 1 Like |

"You've a disgusting hatred towards both Hausas and Fulanis or to say Islam, this is glaringly obvious. It's pathetic. Sorry." This is how you started. Hausa, Islam and Fulani ain't the same. Like I said earlier, they are different and should be interrogated differently. There are Hausas and Fulanis of other Faiths, and not all Muslims are Hausas or Fulanis. The mistake most people do is to use one for all. "There is no point educating you about Shehu Uthman Danfodio. If you lack a basic comprehension of a simple geographical and historical issues, I doubt if you can understand that one." Another salvo you fired at my mention. There was Islam in Northern and Yorubaland long before Uthman Dan Fodio was born. Atleast Fodio wasn't born in the 11th, 14th or 16th century. Dan Fodio was an ethnic purist as seen in his actions. His Jihad saw to the elimination of Hausa Kings and their household but elevated foreigners - his kinsmen to the traditional stool of another ethnic group. How is it possible that amongst the Hausa people that sided with his religious teachings none was found worthy to lead the Emirates he created, even Bauchi Emirate which was said to have gone to a non Fulani drew protests. What makes an ethnic group more godly than the other? Isn't his actions which has survived till today colonialism in the guise of religion? I understand the fact that most of you folks don't want a spot on, on him for the sake of the Faith. But the ethnic imperialism cum his Jihad ain't really rocket science for me to comprehend. "but if you don't know that there were indigenous Fulanis in Adamawa, Taraba, Bauchi, Jigawa, Kebbi, Sokoto, and zamfara, among others, then I'm afraid you're not the person you desperately want us to believe you are." The Fulanis came to those areas hundreds of years after the arrival of Hausas as a 'come and go' herding groups. Very few stayed behind. They are not autochthons, they effectively became indigenes of those areas after the Fulani Jihad. Can you school me on the kingdom they controlled in Hausaland in the days of say, Idris Alooma of Kanem Bornu? Well you been driving in circles. And your attempt to label my take the position of a stranger is unfortunate and of no importance to this discourse. I also deliberately refused to muddle up my take with issues not relevant to the area under focus. I stated clearly that Adamawa is derived from a Fulani source ie a Fulani name but the Fulanis ain't majority there and that's is what led you mentioning my comment. "Adamawa Emirate founded by Modibbo Adama in 1800s". Thank you for stating the obvious that Adama Modibbo Emirate came on in 1800's, of course that's within the period of the Jihad. So weren't there people there before that time? Did the Jihad conquer Fulanis or trees and mountains? No!! it conquered people, autochthonous ethnic groups living there for centuries. I don't remember saying Fulanis are older than Hausas in Nigeria, I opined that even the Hausas migrated into Nigeria and the interminglings led to the loss of native tongues especially with advent of Islam hundreds of years before the Fulani Jihad. "Check my earlier post on Kwararrafa, Nupe, and Kanem Bornu, I pointed out earlier that there was no trace of Fulanis in those kingdoms, I don't know what brought about claiming "majority status". I maintained that the Kwararrafa was the Jukun part of Taraba and Benue, has anybody to this very day told you otherwise?" I also opined that the was no kingdoms ruled by Fulanis in 1600 and what existed was Kwararafa, Nupe and Kanem Bornu, and they had little or no Hausa and Fulani in their midst. If Fulanis didn't exist there and had no control of the affairs there, how come they have kingdoms in these places today? And the answer is simply that these kingdoms are a product of the Fulani Jihad. But even with that the indigenous people weren't all killed or dislodged by the invaders neither did they the invaders outnumber them in population, the natives were only out gunned so they accepted the forced rulership of the minority. " Who were the original inhabitants of Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Lamurde, Mayo-Belwa, and Mubi (both north and south), among others? Jukun, maybe." The question to be answered by you is, who inhabited those areas before Adama's Kingdom came on board in 1800's. Are they the same inhabitants as seen today? If there was a Fulani Jihad who was it against? Again the places you mentioned do have autochthons who are still there till date. "If your problem is with reducing the influence of Kwararrafa (Jukun) Gowon, not Danfodio should be blamed for introducing state system in Nigeria in 1967. You did say that you speak Hausa but that "Arewa mu" is, with due respect, saying otherwise. Sorry." "Kwararrafa comprised largely of some parts of Taraba and Benue but the "spanned about forty thousand square miles that covered parts of northeastern Nigeria, entire northern Cameroon, and part of Central African Republic." (Wiki) So between Kwararrafa and Adamawa which one needs to claim "majority status" (to borrow from you)?" Kwararafa went beyond Jukun land, it was a multiethnic confederacy stretching from today's North East to central Nigeria. Language and cultural similarities attest to this fact. At it's peak, it was a peaceful and powerful kingdom, at it's fall all the groups under the kingdom went their ways and established their ethnic ruling structure opened to all natives regardless of religious persuasion. Even though they dispersed to various directions they continued to unite to fight off invaders. Gowon wasn't around in the 1800's. He didn't kill the natives and didn't enthrone a Fulani dynasty. Gowon's State creation liberated alot of polities along the axis of my focus, Atleast the establishment of LGA gave most groups the opportunity to unveil their true identity and enjoy some levels of freedom. I also made it clear that Muslim dominated areas speak Hausa as first language and possibly the only language because it is the language of propagation and interaction, thus those with native tongues easily drop them for Hausa. In non Muslim polities Hausa is spoken but not as first or only language that's not to say that there are no Hausa and Fulani Christians or traditionalist. I also used Benue and Kogi as two states in the North were Hausa ain't an everyday lingua, (infact those who speak, learnt it outside the state) maybe because their neighbors are also natives but most importantly is the fact that there are no ethnic tongues that gave way to Hausa language or was swallowed by Hausa language, also the Fulani Jihad didn't anoint a leader or set up an Emirates there. Today, should any tribe there for any reason loose it's identity or settle for Hausa culture, Hausa language will become their lingua, Islam will set in, then migrant Fulanis from neighbouring countries will troop in to claim indigeneship - this is a known pattern. All I have said ain't unknown to you, but it is normal to hinge on 'the route' and the speculated origin of the Fulanis to seek to drive in circles instead of interrogating the issues. The word Hausa - Fulani is an amalgamation of Northern polities but when broken down the reality stare's one on the face - that is the story of Adamawa and some parts of NC and NE. "I don't know what you mean by the "attempted attempt in Gombe", it may be another fallacious assumption." Of course I don't expect you to be in the know of the attempted attempt, the people saw the whirlwind coming and took shelter in a counter move without drama, those who didn't heed the warning on Elrufia eventually are tasting the bitter pill of taking things for granted. Even though I have kept to my area of focus and haven't really bothered about all the examples you gave but I didn't find Yero's name on the list of folks who became deputy governor and governor in a strange land. Like I said I won't bother myself with issues on Political and Economic Fulanis - people who claim or speak Fulani language to gain mileage, a northern scholar has also attended to the issue even Myetti Allah folks have also alluded to that, 'Idon Mikiya' of Vision FM have also contended that some of those in Myetti Allah organization ain't really Fula, Fulbe or Pulaaku... but folks using the ethnic group and organization to pursue their personal interests. "Is good seeing you saying, correctly this time around, that "Hausa language came first before Islam". This debunked your earlier assertion ecenthpugh you now introduced "Hausanised" again. Lol" I also didn't say, Islam came first neither did I say Fulanis came first. You mentioned my post because I said there were 'vanished' tongues as a result of the movement of Hausas into Nigeria but you objected to that listing Hausa states and further raised questions. At no time did I say that Islam came first. in my last response I further emphasized that people's of the areas under focus existed before the birth of Jesus and Mohammed, meaning they had a way life distinct from that introduced by Christianity and Islam. of course you understand 'nized' when applied to tribe. Hausa language swallowed and is still swallowing the tongue of natives. I also tried to give example of a tribal Muslim and a non Muslim, and there usage of the language. While Hausa is commonly spoken in the North, it is more pronounced amongst those who use it more. A Karekare Muslim like Distinguished Senator Ahmed Lawal an ethnic Northerner and a non Hausa and a non Fulani may still understand his tongue but it may not be spoken in his house on daily because of Hausa is the official language of interaction amongst Muslims and with inter marriages, native tongues become more submerged. That is not to say Christians don't use Hausa language in Churches but it is limited. Today is Sunday, native tongues alongside English is used, Hausa language is also used especially is mixed communities where people understand Hausa language but were they to be 'Hausanize' Hausa language takes over completely. After it takes over completely, Islam sets in, then Fulanis will show up from other parts of world to say 'ai garin mu na gado ne'. Where Hausa has taken over completely is in Muslims areas in the North West. "If you want to quote me, do so correctly pls, I didn't say religion is the first consideration for electing pu lic officers, and I also didn't make a sweeping generalisation, I said "in most parts of the North". Check." Below is your take which generalized; "NORTHERNERS PAY MORE ATTENTION TO RELIGION THAN TRIBE. That's the reason they voted for Abiola in 1993 and Tinubu in 2023. If you're a Muslim, you can easily contest and win an election in most parts of the North." MORE, means it scores higher mark or comes first on the table of preference. "You're yet to convince us that Fulanis truly migrated from North Africa. And you want to bring Buzus again into the discourse. Lol" The Fulanis themselves speak of it, they have a complex origin because they are 'cluster' with variant tongues. They migrated into and dispersed in Africa, and adapted to cultures of their host before seeking to topple existing kingdoms as seen in Nigeria. The Buzus are related to the Fulanis and most people even in Nigeria confuse the two principally because there is a political identity in the Muslim North which places religion as the first requirement for sub national and national leaders. A scholar of your faith has treated the origin of some of the prominent personalities in the North who are thought to be Fulanis. That came as a surprise to Southerners not Northerners who already know what he authored and more. So am not making up the Buzu story, i brought it up to affirm your position that religion comes first for a Muslim when voting even if it means voting a foreigner but who is a Muslim. I also opined that Gobirawa way a distinct group but Hausa language swallowed it up and today Gobirawa is considered a Branch of Hausa language, If Hausawa refer to Hausa speakers, Bajari refers to Jarawa speakers, Angasawa refer to Ngas speakers etc how come Gobirawa, Bussawa, Dukawa, Zarma, Kambarri etc are refered to as a branch of Hausawa? l have interacted with people from some of those place and majority of them convinced me that they were a distinct ethnic group with a distinct tongue before the coming of Hausa migrants who funny enough sucked them into their ways of life. I also interacted with people who say the are owners of Kano - Maguzawa I was made to understand it is a religious and tribal description. The folks from Zuru told me they have a mother tongue and they still speak it till date. To my amazement most of the non Muslims I interacted with still speak their mother tongue alongside Hausa, while their Muslim brethren prefer Hausa and hardly bother about their mother tongue. Each relied on oral history passed down from generations to generations as the source of there fact,. The early Hausa migrants were traditionalist. I had an acquaintance from Michika who one day told me he is Hausa-Fulani. But you told me you are of Higi ethnic stock, So what changed i inquired. I then asked him if his folks who are of other Faiths share in his 'new ethnic identity'. He told me that when he is with his kinsmen he speaks his native language but reverts to being a Hausa person while away. I further inquiried why he wouldn't agree to be a Hausa man in his village he laughed telling me that would be counter productive. But adopting or belonging to Hausa-Fulani will give him mileage. I encouraged him to hold on to his native identity instead of adopting another man's identity or subscribe to the Hausa-Fulani political identity which only benefits those who designed it and is of little benefit to the surviving ethnic groups of North. What I narrated above is the common experience of majority of the youths who have lost their ethnic identity because their parents don't speak their mother tongue at home or they themselves don't speak so as to be regarded as Hausa or are seeking for visibility within the national and national space. What I have expected of you in this discourse is to put it to (me) that some parts of present day Northern Nigeria were coopted from Cameron Chad and Niger. Lumping some of this strange fellows together by the modern governance architecture of Nigeria is what is giving many the wrong impression about origins. My takes ain't borne out of revisionism, pettiness or primordial intellectual discourse. But like I said I am informed. FiftyFifty: |
