Yes!! it has to play out the way you said it because you graduated from the same mental institution with Kanu.
Where in the world has that nonsense Kanu said happened?

EBRAHIMJAY:

you are wrong, I'm a Yoruba & I loved it!
Umu Chineke!

Yyeske:
I'm not saying the killing was good, go get your referendum and leave the north soonest

Yyeske:
You don't even know the boundaries and have you asked everyone if they want a referendum? Or are you trying to impose it them?

Go get the referendum and secession the north had agreed to, what's the problem plan?

Yyeske:
When Nnamdi kanu was arrested, what was the response of IPOB? Was the hate in the US elections riddled with hate or killing of a race or people?
What's your plan for October 1st ultimatum?
Go figure and tell us the difference

Yyeske:
You don't get it, ndigbo up north are in danger already because of his hate speeches on air and online and he has sensitized other ethnicities to hate ndigbo, anything can happen and don't think that Abuja is safe .
Meanwhile, those regions know their boundaries before seeking for a referendum, tell me the boundary of Biafra as we speak.

Yyeske:
You forgot that the agitating for referendum wasn't based on hate and name calling in those countries and Nigeria has every right to ammend her laws inrespective of any international treaties.

Amarabae:
He should leave ijaw and ogoni part of Riverrs state alone and focus on the Igbo speaking part for a round table discussion.

I was saved from birth

Timijo:
It is a wonderful thing to be saved through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Salvation as become one of the prerequistite of making heaven as stated by Jesus in the book of John3:3.
I was a sinner before, yes a sinner I was before Jesus came into my heart. The bible says, ''For all have sin and have come short of the glory of God''. ''For out of iniquities did my mother conceived me''.
But I thanked God for saving my soul from eternal damnation. Jesus came into my heart on 31st October 2001. It all happened in an end of the year crusade organised by NTCM. After listening to the powerful sermon delivered by the General Overseer- Pastor Moses Rahaman Popoola, I was conviced of my sin and I went out to meet Jesus when the altar call was made.
Although, it was not too easy to part away from my sinful friends at the beginning of my journey with Christ but the Lord help me. I received power over sin just as He has promised in John1:12.
I attended a follow up program organised by the church in order to help me establish my faith in Christ Jesus. After that I joined a disciplship school which lasted for about 3 years. I also did workers' training in the same church.
I give thanks to The Almighty God for His love that found me. I also thank Him for helping me to continue with Him.

This is just the summary of my salvation.
Share yours.

If you have not received Jesus Christ into your life, you can do so now before it will be too late for you.

Just because his father was grandson of Dan FodiO That does not make him a FULANI. To be a Fulani you have to look like a one.

Anybody with Knowledge of whom Hausa or Fulani are ,will aggured Sir Ahmadu Bello is not a Fulani. (He might have little Fulani blood in him) But, But you can't ignore the fact that his Looks, Body structure is not of Fulani but of Hausa.


Like my Paternal and maternal grandmothers are pure Fulani descent and my merternal grandfather is a mixture of both (Hausa/Fulani). My Father happens to took after his father (who I will say he is a among the rear pure Hausawa) . Tho, in my family sometimes we jokingly point out who is more Hausa and who is more a Fulani. Honestly we all think of ourselves as Hausa

We speak hausa, leave with hausa ,share abode,Religion and culture with hausa. And some of my Kins will be pissed off if you were to call them none hausa. And that natural

Pure Hausa are very rear.Their intermarriage does not start with Fulani nor had it ever been Monopoly to any tribe lol(Allow me to use that word) .If hausa falls in love with you and you get married to him/her . You ,your Feature Children will probably gave up your Religion, Culture and most importantly your language to Hausa.


My argument is that you cannot call someone with typical hausa look a Fulani or call someone with typical Fulani look a Hausa. It's will be ridiculous for a Black Person with black mother and White Britsh father to call himself a whiteman



Sir Ahmadu Bello is more of a Hausa than he is a Fulani. His culture,His language, His looks/ structures all indicated that.

Present day Hausa is more of a language than it is an ethic.when I was 15 thought of my Zabarmawa childhood friends as Hausa only lately I found out they are not. In west northern state it's not a big deal if you are Hausawa, Fulani, zabarmawa as long you speak hausa it's every Hausa and none hausa Will looks you as Hausa(to some extant) Sai in gardama ta tashi a tunama Kai Ba Hausa bane. Lol ;

JikanBaura:
OP you are not Nigerian, huh?

Eben2:
Hmm... My birth day! How can I ever forget thee? The joy unspeakable that overflowed my heart when my SAVIOUR with tender loving care lifted from off my shoulder my burden of sin. That glorious day was Sunday, December 5, 2010!

Prior to this glorious day, I had lived a very bad life. I was a big time liar, a thief, in my place of work I would collect bribe and give undeserved positions to those who could pay, above all, I was a sex addict. I was all these despite the fact that I was a regular church attendee.

I didn't want to live like that but I could not help it. The more I tried to live right, the more I found myself doing more of evil. It came to a point I could not live two days without sex. I would feel like being surforcated! I taught marriage would help and I therefore got married in 2008 to the only woman I ever loved thinking I would not be able to cheat on her. Alas! Things got worse after few months into the marriage! I began to have chains of girlfriend; I slept with anything in skirt! Young, old, married and single. It was so bad I had it with my wife's cousin and had relationship with my landlord's daugher. I gave my life completely to do evil after I had tried so much to live right but could not. My wife was always in tears and there was no peace in my home.

Then, on December 3, 2010; I met two new girls and had plan to do the usual with each of them the next Sunday. I came to church as usual and when the preacher mounted the pulpit, I said a silent prayer that he would finish early so I could meet up with my girls because I had given them different time of the day. I can't explain how, but before the end of the message, something entered into my heart and convicted me of my sins, my hardened heart was softened and for the first time I saw how dirty and unworthy I was. The burden was so much on me that I fell on my kneels and cried out to God for help. Right there and then, The Lord came into my heart and took my burden away and there was a joy in my heart that words cannot describe.

Ever since, my story has changed! There's peace in my heart and home. The lifestyle I taught I could not do without, has become a thing of the past. The Lord gave my a new Spirit and vision. Praise ye The Lord!

Your prayer moved me. What you are going through is called Holy Ghost conviction. The God you are looking for is actually looking for you too.
Here are a few steps I took and found peace
1. accept you are a sinner.
2. confess every sin you remember committing to God. Ask Him to remind you of them and confess them all. When we approach God, we come clean before Him (He that hideth his sins shall not prosper but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy)
3. renounce them. promise God you won't go back to them.
4. accept God's offer of mercy. Don't think your sins are too many for God to forgive. believe that Jesus forgives you

As you pray from a broken and contrite heart, you will KNOW when you are forgiven! Peace will fill your heart. You will have the joy of salvation. Much more importantly is that the sinful things you were doing before, you will loathe them. I don't say you will be struggling to avoid them, but that you will so hate them that if you were an alcoholic, the smell of alcohol will be revolting to you.
It is real and you can have this experience when you pray

Martinez19:
It is not a new thing when christians are defeated in an argument or debate. It is usually common. One thing I have noticed is that almost at the point of christians realising that they are in error, they resort to evasion by bringing up pointless argument, threat and insults (if possible). All of these do not contribute anything to the argument at hand.

THREATS AND INTIMIDATION
When christians are obviously defeated and have nothing to say or contribute further, they escape arguments with threats like "..... hmm, I pity you repent before it's too late." as if it contributes to the argument. Other threats and intimidation include "....may you not realise the truth on the day of judgment.", "... do not increase the wrath of God. " Oga o.

INSULT
Suppose the non-christian who defeated the christian in the were to be a poor man or a begger, they would skip the argument with ".... see who is speaking against God. no wonder your life is like this.", ".... you see your life. You better come to Jesus to fix it. No wonder it is like this. " smh.

VAGUE REPLY AND POINTLESS REPLY
A man was addressing the question "why won't God heal amputees?" and he replied "... there is a man who can preach to people despite the fact that he was born without limbs. So you see, God can use you where you are and what ever your condition is." *facepalms*. He gave a vague answer. When a topic attacks the existence of God, some on nairaland reply with "another useless topic.", "this one is frustrated.","my brother, believe me God is real." etc. these replies usually have nothing to do with the argument.

IGNORING THE ARGUMENT
This happens on nairaland a lot. When you open a thread with sound arguments that would shake any faith, christians view it and ignore it. One or two that reply utilise any of the aforementioned points.

KingEbukasBlog, hopefulLandlord, HardMirror, catfishbilly, analice107, otemanuduno, Johnydon22, etc.

nextdoor84:
Nice thread.....I will invite my Hausa friend to come do justice to this thread!!

I love Hausa folks so much , still don't why!!

Paulpaulpaul:
Alright

Wilgrea7:
i would've loved to butress your points.. but i don't want to derail this thread.. maybe you can create another thread for these new discussions and mention me.. I'll reply to the last statement of your post because it relates to the thread


once again.. i don't follow paul... and no... shedding of blood is not needed for the remission of sins.. the Israelites may have done rituals.. but that isn't what Jesus Christ came to establish.. at times i still wonder what we missed that made the Jesus' version of God somewhat different from that of the old testament.. Jesus said “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us... i sort of missed the part requiring you to spill goat blood


believing on a substitute for your sins is laziness.. Jesus didn't come to be a substitute for our mess.. he came to show Israel how to change that nature that caused sin.. his laws can also be applied on a universal scale.. like i said before.. the law had its flaws.. humans or at least the Israelites then had a certain nature that made laws ineffective.. no matter how many laws they were given.. their nature was what you could classify as “sinful".. laws didn't change that nature.. it just restricted them from certain acts.. someone with the nature of love doesn't need a death penalty to tell him that killing the innocent is wrong... funny thing.. the Jews didn't believe in hell



the audience of Jesus were Jews.. different religions have different views of heaven.. so you would be going to the hindu hell as much as a hindu would be going to your hell.. don't force everything into one worldview with your religion as the true one without any universal reason.. salvation.. from that sinful nature is gotten by obeying the commandments of God through Christ.. which is love... people can be raised in love.. raised in the commandments.. their souls would radiate positive energy and they would be creating heaven for their souls...

Picking the disparity between the emancipated Hausas and the exposed Fulanis is a daunting task because of acculturation and assimilation. Many northerners now wear Baban riga, Dan dogo with cap, speak Hausa and marry more than one wife. In fact, many Yoruba muslims do just that.

However, Fulanis rear cows in large quantity and in most cases value the life of cows than humans'. Many educated Fulanis still rear cows, a good example is our sick president, he still rears cows in his hometown. Hausas on the other hand, are farmers; even till today. They plant onions that we all eat and beans.


Hausa and Fulani are now fused into one, Hausa/Fulani. It's like trying to tell the difference between Deltans and Igbos. They are one at the superficial level. Education has changed everything. There are notable Hausa people like: Jelani Aliyu that designed GM’s First Electric Car, Manman Kontagora, Aminu Tambwa as well as Fulani people like Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Muhammadu Buhari, Faruq Lawal - the rep that hid dolla in his cap etc.

In a layman language, you need to move closer and ask. Get the answer from the horse's mouth

JikanBaura:
cultural differences :

Hausawa: my Tribe

hausawa are homogeneous, have many different way of life with Fulani and don't share any cultural similarities but share thesame Islamic cultural. tho the Fulani in cities have adopted to hausa culture and language one can simply differentiate them. Hausa are Farmers and engaged in many different jobs (skills jobs) while must Fulanis are cow/sheeps rearers. hausa rear those animals too .the difference is the Fulanis are Nomads they run from place to place to rear their Animals.







Pupulation: Hausa





Real HAUSA: about 40million native Hausa mostly from Nigeria and Niger Republic. the Hausas come only from Nigeria and Niger Republic. they are the real Hausawa.



Diluted/Mixed Hausa: 20million



This are the Hausawa scattered in Chad, Cameroon, Togo, Ghana,sudan etc. They are descendent of Hausa from Nigeria and Niger Republic. who after leaving their original homes, settles with other Africans and they are now sees as hausas. And yes they are. just that they are not living in their original homes.


FULANI: around 20million



Religion:HAUSA/FULANI

HAUSA: 99% of Hausa are Muslims the remaining 2% are either pagans or Christians


FULANI: Fulani in Nigeria are 90% Muslims, the 10% goes to Pegans and Christianity .




location : Hausa



Nigeria, Niger Republic, Ghana, Mali, Togo, Cameroon,sudan ,Eritrea, Saudi Arabia

Everywhere you can find hausawa then their are Fulanis either living among them or so close to them.
But Hausa are cannot be found all places where Fulanis are.




Physical Features :

Hausawa: Hausa have typical look of Chadic people/chadic different groups.

(1)Giants :Hausa are Extremely strong Giants. Every about them is massive, from their foots prints to their Giants Mit .hausa are just huge. take a look at old late hausa leaders.

(2) bigs/smale slant eyes, Body . straight and Hooters Noses,

(3) Hausa are Dark in complexion. Hausa are very dark people like must of the chadic in Sahel. The lighter a real Hausa not mixed can be is Chocolate.



FULANI: most of Fulanis are Tall but not giants, Fulani are known to be very Slim and Lanky. they can hardly have a fattish body even if they want to. only 10% of Fulani can grow fat.

Complexion: majority Fulanis a Red in colour. then cream clour Fulani then black. let me put it into percentage.

50% Red ,40 black, 10% light cream

Structure: majority are tall, With Little wive hair or straight

hair. Typical Fulani dnt have Kinky hair like ours Hausa. and

they got a very lanky body, Long jaw, some with Broad

Forqp\eheads like that of Ethiopians. The least percentage of

Fulani look mixed African American. the reaming

percentage just look like those in Far-east west Africans

mixed with Berbers/Buzaye



Let me clear one thing. I and All my Extended Family are combination both Hausa and Fulani . My parents, their parents are mixed Hausa/Fulani. Tho, I consider myself a (Bahaushe) a Hausa. I will not allowed anyone to disrespect any of this group. Even that person comes from Them. tau, Kapin wasu Yan iska su zagan.

Trash on fp? If being naked is modernism and freedom then animals are most modern. We dont care if you​ ppl don't follow ur religion, most Islamic​ countries don't allow all this, it's not a new thing. You have your religion and I've mine, face your Christianity and leave Islam alone!

Paulpaulpaul:
In the north there are other tribes order than Hausa and Fulanis but the duo overpowered, subjugated and relegated other tribes. For instance, in Niger state, we have: Nupe, Gbagi/Gwari, Kadara, Koro, Kakanda, Baruba/Boko-Baru, Kumi etc before the Hausas n Fulanis came. But now the Nupes hardly have a say where the Hausas are deciding matters.

Why? This is because Hausas use the policy of "Assimilation". In Minna, the Capital of Niger state, Hausa is the official language. People learn Hausa, speak the language and get acculturated. I use Niger as an example to explain to you that Hausa/Fulani are not the only people in the north.

Now to the matter, Hausas have fourteen tribes, seven legitimate and seven illegitimate (Banza bokwai). They used to be predominantly farmers - groundnut, beans, onions, rice, carrot n millet. They also, sell marchandice like Horses, carmel, donkeys, gold and honey. This show their early exposure to the Arab world.

The Fulanis on the other hand, are cattle rearers. They are of two types: Bororo and Hausaje. The Hausajes build houses near towns and villages and inter-marry while the Bororos are deadly normad. They don't stay and have penchant for crime. They graze on people's farm are run away.

However, Fulanis and Hausas are now educated and what do you expect when people see what they never imagined? Bad occurence





We voted one Fulani man to help us find the missing Chibok girls, he also went missing

Wilgrea7:
the synoptic Gospels are not the only sources on the life of Jesus.. there are tons of other letters attributed to him... reading about their histories, authors and causes of the testimonies will give you a clearer picture of who Jesus was... i don't rely on only the four gospels... especially with the rumor of the rcc editing a few things

John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

like i said earlier .. reading genuine gospels attributed to him will give you a clearer picture... i do not deny the fact that individual authors tend to put a little bias in their writings.. but a wide scope will bring you closer to the picture.. its not about knowing if that statement was made by him.. although its important.. its not the main point.. the big picture is to get the main point of his message

Wilgrea7:
self righteousness is pride... plus... look at the people Isaiah was referring to.. Israel.. not you and me in Africa.. Israel had laws.. the laws had their flaws.. Jesus gave them a law that covers everything... and that was love


i don't follow Paul



I'm not here to prove that the scriptures are in harmony.. abiding in Jesus means obeying his commandments.. not “believing in him".. he brought the commandments from God and gave to the Israelites.. Jesus is divine but did not go around telling people that his divinity was the key to salvation...if he did, then why would he tell Peter not to tell anyone that he was the Christ?.. majority of the scriptures referring to Jesus (not just the rcc handpicked ones) portray Jesus as being somewhat divine or above human but did not base salvation on him.. John is the only gospel that emphasizes divinity.. ever wonder why?

Wilgrea7:
those people are already in heaven... with that kind of behavior.. they have created heaven for their minds.. they give and radiate positive energy.. they possess love.. at least to a great extent ...people who continue like that are sure to have a heavenly afterlife... any religion that tells you that you need to accept someone.. be it Jesus or Mohammad or Mithras... is lying...its all a setup for control... being born again is being born of love.. the kind of love Jesus stood for... salvation didn't depend on the invented nicene creed.. even though I'm not religious.. I'll leave you with some of the alleged words of Jesus himself

Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

peace

GrandFinale2017:
our righteousness is as unfilthy rags before God's sight. No matter the morality we have it still can't please God cos nothing good dwells in our flesh.

We need an imputed righteousness which is only thru accepting Jesus Chris and His finished works at the cross. When you believe in Him and accept Him to be your Lord and Savior then you're already righteous in God's sight (2 Corinthians 5 vs 21)

Keep asking questions were you don't understand. thanks
