  • I'm a proud Fulani man. God Bless Nigeria!!!

  • wow would u look at these hebrew israelites that dont even know that they are hebrew israelites! shalom to the fulani, ashanti, tutsi and igbo tribes of africa!

  • @Shimaryah We're not Hebrew thank you. Take that rubbish somewhere else!

  • @MickJagoffable lmbo yeah I hear you, I obviously know more about u than u do but dats wassup, i aint here to argue with you!

  • How come Hausa music sounds so similar to Ethiopian and Somali music? The languages seem to be related, and plus, they are all known to use autotune a LOT, maybe that's what makes them sound so similar. :))

  • @Abiodun92 becasue those tibbes are sibling tribe waay back we were all one!!

  • lololololol autotune

  • This sounds similar to Ethiopian music

  • @chocolatebooty81 these two tribes are cousin tribes the hausa have some blood line with ehtipians, somali and erithrea im half hausa-fulani

  • @Nayelle1290 BULLSHIT! We know what and what went on......YOU LOT DON'T!

  • ...And I've never heard of: "didi, sapa, tata, etc", being used as numbers...can you enlighten me, lol??!! :)

  • @Nayelle1290 Just curious, but what are the 3 nations that overtook the Senegambian population in particular??!! And what group in particular do we practice the funerary traditions of, lol??!!! :)

  • And one more thing, the Fulani people might've come from Senegambia and from the Mali/Songhai empires (because most of them lived in that region at the time)!!!!!!!!! ;)

  • @Nayelle1290 They had to have a STRONG MUSLIM PRESENCE in the SOUTH because MOST of the SLAVES take to SOUTH CAROLINA were TAKEN from Senegambia, the Windward Coast, Ghana, and Angola!!! ;) 40% of the SLAVES taken to NORTH CAROLINA were MUSLIMS, and 30% of ALL the slaves in the US were MUSLIMS!!!!!! :) And what's the FULANI NUMBERIC system, lol! ;)

  • haha coons

  • @harry2motte FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! _I_  O.O

  • @harry2motte your mother sucks coons cock for crack she she loves drinking coons cum ha ha ha

  • Nice music.

  • ace, it's a music video. when american's post music videos, do we talk about segregation and rascism, and sexism and rape and murder and violence that goes on there. do we say how come the usa is the richest country in the world but half of it (referring to the east) is still POOR . no we DON'T. so STOP talking about it here okay ?? music video = music comments. this has NOTHING to do with politics.

  • nice song, love it

  • gREAT SOUND;Nigeria got it all......

  • Comment removed

  • @IgboBiafran I thought you said all Hausas were NOMADS, and that Hausa and Yoruba were ugly! And that all Hausas are Muslim Terrorists!

    What made you change your mind?

    PEOPLE THIS IDIOT CALLING HIMSELF IgboBiafran IS A FRAUD!

    HE IS FROM CONGO,AND IS ALSO KNOWN AS Nnfefe!

    HE IS HELL BENT ON CAUSING TROUBLE AMONG NIGERIAN TRIBES, SO HE POSES AS AN IGBO MAN TO INSULT US,SO WE WILL START ATTACKING EACH OTHER VERBALLY!

    HE IS NOT IGBO/NIGERIAN BUT A CONGOLESE TROUBLEMAKER!

    PLEASE IGNORE THE FOOL!!

  • @vixxy02 that fool PRINCEOFSHYTS is now concentrating on the ISREALITES cos he KNOWS THAT HE IS SO OBVIOUSLY COPY CATTING "OKOROMANS" VIDEOS AND BESIDES HE CAN ONLY PRATTLE ON ABOUT HOW HIS FELLOW BLACK AMERICAINS ARE FROM "IGBOLAND" hahahahaha what a dumbass he is now trying to to get the isrealites on message and is trying to spread his GERMS pretending to be igbo .. that loser cant convince fellow NIGERIANS cos he is such as HATER.. HE HAS BEEN KICKED TO THE CURB ALREADY ....

  • @vixxy02 in Mali to Niger. the Fulani and Tuareg. create large empire......

  • Hausa and Fulani music is wack. No suprises there...

  • i like this

  • 2...slavery! 400+ years of mixing tribes,races,ethnicities,yet DNA will pinpoint it to 1 tribe....only a fool or fantasist would believe that! And you haven't convinced me 1 bit of the LARGE Hausa/Fulani presence in the Caribbean as far as culture etc is concerned,yet Congo,Yoruba,Igbo,Efik/Ibibio,­Ga are evident! And WE know which direction the Hausa/Fulanis went as far as slavery is concerned so I need not argue....suffice to say....very far from the caribbean..lol!

    Enjoy your video I'm done!

  • @vixxy My friend, the caribbean is mixed & in truth only rastafarians give much thought to Africa. The more educated classes know their forebears fought to put 'Africa' on the map. Many are proud of their African heitage and European, and native (they are now discovering new histories), but the region must capitalise on this diversity rather fantising abt a tribal past & re-living the agonies of the Middle Passage.

  • @vixxy02 The 400 years-sung by Burning Spear- is really a Ratsta anthem. The trade really begins in the region in the mid 18 century; most Africans were quite successful in selling in this period. St Lucia & Trini are populated late in this century. The 400 year term is more useful for Brazil. The African Shoa happens in the period when Adam Smith writes his 'Wealth of Nations'. Nearly every African slave of fame is captured circ. 1740-1780s.

  • oh irmao quando vejo vossos videos fico contente.

    que allah vos de mais sucesso .

  • I think you admire the Hausa/Fulani culture,which is very nice to know, and I also think you are trying to claim to be a descendent of them to justify your religious affiliation,which is very sad! If you're a Muslim ...FINE, good luck to you,but don't try to claim a heritage that's NOT yours to try to justify this......We've seen it all before!

    Hausas that were taken as slaves were done so by Arabs,who took them NORTH/EASTWARDS,not by Europeans who took slaves SOUTH/WESTWARDS!

  • @vixxy02 My dear friend, Fulani ethics expect a person to honour even his enemy. But facts, brother, are facts: 4 % of slaves of in the Caribbean were Hausa (see Hugh Thomas's 'the Slave Trade' ) The Fulanis, because of their wide dispersion were more dominant.. As to my identity, I seldom reveal personal things on you tube, discretion, as you know, valued in Fulani codes of conduct. Just put it this way, I'm no 'Efik'.

  • 1@MrJami123 4% that's about accurate, so I wont dispute that! And I'm PROUD TO BE EFIK....wouldn't want to be anything else! And I too know much about slavery from my country,via oral,factual and documented, so I don't just rely on 1 source of information! Fact is the HAUSA/FULANI were the LEAST of ALL slaves taken during TAST, Jihad or no Jihad! It's very amusing when non Nigerians try to teach us OUR history, and fall back on the whole 'DNA' clause,when everybody knows it's flawed regarding..

  • @vixxy02 Friend, I use the most recent authoritative source: Thomas's 'Slave Trade'. Its a masterpiece, relying on several European documentary sources, including the dusty material in African archives. In the Americas, DNA evidence, lingusitic and cultural material is filling out the picture with brilliant accuracy.In isolated villiages( St Lucia) inhabitants sometimes have Youraba hapalgroups; in Jamiaca, in mountain regions, Akan.

  • @vixxy02 HAUSA/FULANI never been slaved, they are always the master on their own territory......haussa fulani the great people

  • @sahraouimoudjahid And your point is what exactly? It's obvious you aren't very fluent in Englisg, else you wouldn't have posted your comment to me, furthermore, Hausa/Fulani were enslaved, but very few, and taken North/Eastward, and very FEW to The Americas.

  • @vixxy02 The Hausa are an interesting people. The Fulani and the 'ki-congo' have a bigger presence in the Caribbean. Dan Fodio was a great presence in the late 18th century & his jihads meant many Fulani and Mandean warriors ended their days in the tropical caribbean. We are who we are. Respect.

  • @vixxy02 I do not think he got it, the Fulani slave, the Fulani, had his servant, who as of the time, it was akin to Fulani. but I think we Fulani, was not a slave, nor by the Arab, because the Arabic of the Sahara, believes the Fulani are an Arab tribe, who was lost in africa. ....sorry for my english

  • @sahraouimoudjahid do you believe they are a lost Arab Tribe, because I don't. Bottom line is slavery was going on in Africa, by EVERY TRIBE/ETHNICITY, in one form or another,but I agree with you, 100% that a very tiny amount of Fulani/Hausa from Nigeria,Niger,Cameroun etc were taken to the Americas, but the FULA of Mali etc,were taken to Mauritania, and some even further to Morocco,Tunisia and Libya,but NOT to the West(America etc.)

    PEACE!

  • ...there to get educated,whereas the Caribbeans were recruited to build after the war. In the Caribbean white collar jobs were done by the whites or blacks with mixed European ancestry (same as in America!). In Nigeria blacks were trained by the whites or sent to England to be trained,and given accommodation,bursaries etc,and mixed with like minded people,and had it easier than the Caribbeans,and THIS caused frictions among them! HAUSA/FULANI were the LEAST of all the slaves during the TAST.

  • @vixxy02 Once again, I must remind you that Nigerians are an honourable people, though there are a few bad apples among them. The Oyo Empire's fall sent the great Nago (Youraba) to the French and Spanish Caribbean. Lagos (Portugese word) ws the place of departure for many: many recent DNA studies show the extent of this peoples' presence in places such as Cuba, St Lucia, Trinidad, and of course Brazil

  • 2. French Patois depending on which Island is a mixture of not just WOLOF and FULANI, but so many Different West African lanuages including Yoruba,Igbo,etc And WHAT exactly do you mean by 'decentralized Igbo' Because as a Nigerian I know that Igbos are Igbos! The majority of Slaves were taken to Brazil,and given that YORUBA CULTURE is the PREDOMINANT AFRICAN CULTURE of BRAZIL your analogy is flawed...GREATLY! Yoruba slaves were FAVOURED THE MOST because of their build,strength and fierceness!

  • @vixxy02 Your people, sad to say, were in the habit of kidnapping igbo. Even Equiano- the Igbo writer and 18th century slave- found himself, age 12, becoming a Barbadian at age 14. Thanks to the Calibaris. Hope your clever people are now educating the coastal peoples about their infamous past.

  • @MrJami123 My people sad to say were the ones being kidnapped by the Igbos! Since you are so 'enlightened' you must have heard of the Aros right? Are they Efik? Where they not the main kidnappers, are they not Igbo? Please! I'm NOT Kalabari,(so enlightened you can't even spell it!) Hope you are getting a lesson in ACTUAL history NOT fables! And you should concentrate on educating your own people and leave us to educate ours,after all you have your history we have ours!

  • @vixxy02 Historians are unsure to what extent there was even an igbo 'identity' in 18 century. One reason why the Aro included igbo. Efik, Igboetc : it does not make much difference. The continent was bent on a bad trade that has brought little benefit to its current state of affairs. Your language about 'slaves' was rude and thoughtless. Use You Tube as an opportunity to build friendships rather than abusing a people. I do not know how to spell 'Calibar' so forgive the oversight. Respect.

  • @vixxy02 Tribalism has its 'perks'. China, India, Brazil are moving beyond the colonial past while Africa's present is a testament to the past. Despite diversity, the Caribbean has a strong Mandean presence, which includes the ppls from all around the sahel. They tended to be Muslim & spread Islam among the Hausa & others.

  • Eu fulani de Guine_bissau adorei muito deste video .

  • @tidjane1000 Eu gosto tambem..quando vejo meu irmaoes fulani...muito obrigado meu irmao!

  • I'm Efik, and you can't for 1 second tell me I'm less African than a Haitian,St.Lucian or a Jamaican....that's an outrageous claim! And given that the Hausa/Fulani have a very high affiliation with Arabs and Arab culture,are you suggesting that their identity is MORE African than mine? I don't know what books you've been reading, but please SUE THE AUTHOR!!!

  • @vixxy02 Hi friend, I think the role that the son's of captured prisoners ('slaves') played in building the African identity is unarguable: the pre-19th century Congo uprisings, the Coramanti uprisings, the birth of Douglas, Booker T, WEB Dubois, Margus Garvey; the Trinidadians (Padmore, Carmichael, James) were the tutors of their continental brothers. At least two of these were personal advisers to the first independent African state, even helping them choose the countries' names.

  • @vixxy02 As to your tribal affilations, your tribe, the Efik, have an extremely sad role in the slave trade. Your role was notorious: you had confederations devoted to the buiness of capturing innocent people & children. You mainly served Virginia & the British islands & because of that few in the Caribbean like to associate with Nigeria. The Hausa & Fulani were regarded as more noble even by the salve masters. The cheapest slaves were Calabaris & sadly for obvious reasons.

  • @MrJami123 I think you'll find the AROS were the ones capturing the slaves NOT the Efiks! Granted within the Efik Kingdom i.e CALABAR did served as a port of the embankment of captured slaves. And if what you are implying is true, how come most slaves in CUBA are of Efik descent?Caribbeans and Nigerians have a history in ENGLAND of disdain towards each other, because these two were the 1st black immigrants,and though they were the same colour they were culturally different! Nigerians went..

  • @vixxy02 With respect my new friend, read above comment.

  • "They have more African identity than 'Modern day Calabaris'"....By 'They' I hope you're NOT implying Caribbeans,because that's laughable, and if you're implying Fulani, then why are they killing fellow Africans in Jos?

  • @Mrjami123 And your point is WHAT EXACTLY? Very few if any Caribbeans are of Fulani ancestry! The T.A.S.T was confined mainly to coastal regions,and Fulanis that were enslaved were taken further NORTH NOT SOUTH! Americans are ALWAYS trying to claim Fulani/Hausa but WE know the REAL DEAL!

  • @vixxy02 Friend, the Calabaris surplied the most slaves to the British & they preyed on the decentralized igbo  Douglous Chambers, an Anglo-American academic, has written well on the Calabari role in supplying the American colonies. The French & Portuguese didn't value these 'slaves' & in the French Caribbean & Brazil the fulani legacy is strong (French patois is repelete with Fulani & wolof words)

  • @MrJami123 Well I don't know WHERE your American 'scholar' got his info from, but it's a well known and documented fact and a legacy that is STILL thriving today in Brazil that MOST Brazilian slaves were YORUBA! The language and culture is STILL flourishing to the extent that it's now part of the fabric of Brazilian culture, not just Afro Brazilian culture! Haitians were mainly from DHAHOMEY modern day BENIN REPUBLIC! Voodoo(VOUDOUM) is from there,and this is typically HAITIAN!

  • what is the name of this song?

  • OMG this girl is so beautiful infact i need to know

  • Ibn Battuta the great traveller from 1325 AD stated that fulanis are one of the most beautiful people he ever saw in his 30 years of travel over most of the known world.

    Fulani never been slaves for anyone,get your facts straight.

  • @chaabimaroc ahahahah d'ou te vienne ses information ????

  • @mayyama ok and why do we need to know that info?

  • I am a Hausa fulani from Ghana . My ancestors came from Nigeria but the Hausa that we speak in Ghanaq is really different from our traditional hausa. Its like a different language to me and i can only pick out little words from the song. Great song though

  • @Jamila321Balraj Are you Hausa or are you Fulani? Or are you mixed? No such thing as "Hausa Fulani" unless you descent from people who spoke Fula as a first language.

  • @bruin03 I am hausa fulani , hausa from sarkin zazzau and fulani from usman dan fodio so what r u talking about most of the hausa people in nigeria that i know are hausa fulani too

  • Proud to be fulani, God bless Fulani, people of freedom, from Mauritania

  • I an from Somalia and I really liked this Hausa song and the dance itself. This is quite clear that Africa is full of diverse cultures, people and nationatilities. I like to visit once the great African country of Nigeria and especially the Fullani Hausa people since they are people with long history. Thanks guys.

  • Just make sure you drop your weapons before you come, lol.

  • the6956 God forbi i don't hate but just remind me what i use to see in some indian films and was saying that i did not believe that a woman could be allowed to particepate in a public place and that is not immoral. That's all. But this not a case we live to injoy ourself. I like the show and the female voice. Comments means that we see you but cannot reach you. Thanks.

  • "salihu100" respect to you bro....

  • All these stinking useless beasts of no nation slave babies that want to be like we beautiful pure blooded Nigerians can go to hell! They were slaves for a reason..to rid Africa of the nasty disgusting filth! Imagine if these nasty slave descendants were on our beautiful pure freeborn soil! The likes of this bastard calling himself mistershitgeria, would have been shot publicly in the stadium along with the other armed robbers! Filthy beast of no nation calling me half white..lol! WAAD AL HARAM!

  • They act like the indians. This is how they want all nigerians to be. I thought that acting with a woman is immoral, what is happening here?

  • The language is Hausa, the instruments are partly Hausa and certainly not Indian. The musicians are Hausa. so why are we supposed to be imitating Indians? Is there any society not affected by other nations? Do you just hate us? So what is new?

  • nice moves

  • i loven this song really even if it is not good in mv.

  • on the vocal too many 10khz

  • Why must they insist on that pathetic vocoder / autotune effect on the voices?

    Dreadful mishmash of Western music programming and god awful singing.... stick to your own music....it's far more beautiful....

  • @brown9ja u know i saw u on other hausa vids i smell a hater. u say it is terrorist music but why spend so much time look up videos.get a life ppl are here to enjoy music not spread hate i bet u r nigerian too! shaking my head!

  • This song is da bomb.... I mean i can't understand what they are saying. Not even a word. But it's catchy that i have to jump up my sit and begin dancing. Keep it up Hausa's and Nigerians

  • i am actually shocked to this music.. but excited! nice music. Liberation for all. I love the Hausas!

  • weird but cool

  • thank you for posting this music video. it brings me back memories!

  • truely elegant song ... 5*****

  • both son and artist are beautiful :)))

    song like amazigh

    peace from morocco

  • The girl is very beautiful

  • most africans in the america's caribian are west africa from senegal to cameroon and all tribes you see it in the face and culture and music also but we all africans africa unted

  • nice girl

  • Agree with you because i found insecure people use tribal to separate people. I am Hausa/Fulani and America and married to a Yoruba from Kwara state and i love him!!

  • wow, they look like they are from east africa

  • 2. just because they're not judged by western, or Arabic standards doesn't mean it's not there!

    I suggest you concentrate on your own country, and leave WE NIGERIANS TO SETTLE OUR OWN SCORES.

    PEACE!!

  • You shouldn't have replied to her. Igbo's have no history. LMFAO. I guess Nri kingdom and Arochukwu sat their asses down and did nothing while people just made up stories about them and their accomplishment. LMFAO. Even me, i was wondering if Ahavayah is african, let alone West African

    Anyway vixxy, Are you Hausa?

  • HI iFY!

    No I'm not Fulani, I'm from Calabar, but I live in the north, and it pisses me off when idiots that have nothing to do with Nigeria think they have the right to diss us!

    I even hate it when Nigerians of another tribe diss other tribes, because at the end of the day, we didn't ask for Naija to be created, but now that it is we should ALL pull together to make our country great!

    PEACE!!

  • You're calabar oh ok. Me too. I hate when people try to put Naija tribes against eachother. The same way i hate when Nigerians attack another tribe whether verbal or non-verbal. I wish all tribes in naija will start being friends instead of arguing whenever they get a chance. We need to join together and fix that country instead of being apart and hating eachother. Like you said, in the end we are all Nigerians and there is nothing we can do to change that.

  • and a loud AMEN!!

  • Comment removed

  • GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!!!

  • Hello vixxy02! i must say u re a gud guy, may be u never realised that, ur heart is open, we need more pple like u in my country nigeria. i read some of ur comments and understand , u humiliate others.  I'm a hausa man frm a great nigeria, and love all nigerians, we all should keep the gud job. 1 9ja, gud pple,

  • @salihu100 Thank you for your kind words! As a patriotic Nigerian I must: "defend her honour and glory!" It really annoys me when people insult us, especially agitators in our own country! NORTH,SOUTH,EAST OR WEST, WE ARE ALL ONE FAMILY, UNITED UNDER 1 FLAG!

  • @vixxy02 U ARE A SICK BRITISH HALF BLOOD DAMN U CAN LIE

    1

  • @vixxy02 You know brother, the Calabar folks (Aro Confederacy) were big slave traders & chief partners of the British. They sold Igbo, Efik, Ijaw and anything that moved on two legs in that region. The Caribbean has most of the major Western African tribes and some-St Lucia, Haiti etc- has strong Fulani and Woolf ancestory. They, not modern Calabaries, have a high claim to African identity:; and it was their leaders that practically invented the concept.

  • @MrJami123 And your point is WHAT exactly? Are you trying to insinuate that those from the Caribbean are more African or that they consider themselves more African than Kalabari,or Calabar? Because if you are that's pure bs! or that the Fulanis who are responsible for the atrocities in JOS consider themselves more African to the extent that they wipe out who they consider non-African? And WHICH concept of AFRICAN IDENTITY are you talking about?

  • Eww....I'm definitely not a fan of Hausa music now..IGBO all the wayy

  • I love the style of life of those people. I wish I was living with them, the singer girl have smart smile ever.

  • what destroy's Somalia and other's nation ? its a triblism its a disease we should stop it from spreading out .

  • there's something about modest dressing, it shows elegance and true beauty. i wish my fellow nigerian sisters would go back to dressing modestly. this whole western crap is annoying me, it's ugly and leading our society down the drain

  • I feel our sudanese blood running in the veins of those singers, I love the song very much, the melody is familiar to me buts the words cant grab. very good song. it makes me very happy, thanks from me and from all sudanese.

  • thats right buddy ... thanks for coming

  • thanks AhavaYah for your reply, what Iam really saying is that, if a sister or a brother of any body is joined between hundreds, you can extract them them by natural instinct. also sociological history approve that those people have their origins in Sudan.

  • Your right buddy Hausa are originally from that area called Sudan and Nubia...

  • @AhavaYah  Not all Hausa.

  • @AhavaYah ironically those Sudanese probably do not speak traditional Hausa...those areas of Africa suffered enormous amounts of ethnic cleansing so no one knows... that whole "out of Africa" theory are bizarre phony facts that actually are trying to excuse your genocides.

  • The girl in this video is evidently Fulani, not Hausa, despite she speaks Hausa. Who can object ?

  • maginificant, I am sudanese , all sudanese will love this song as much as I love it.

  • Fulani are the back bone of Nigeria. Every Nigerian president has been a Fulani puppet. Nigerian Fulani are also the aristocrats. Plus we Fulani are one of the best known African ethnic group, not to mention one of the most uniquely beautiful and diverse. Igbo I dont understand they seem to be money hungry and also corrupt. They act as if everyone owes them something.

  • your nothing but a fool to make such comment the igbo are more educated than any tribe in nigeria ,Dr nnamdi azikiwe was the first president of nigeria and you dont even no that punk

  • The igbos are not the most educated ethnic group in Nigeria, the Yoruba are.

  • Comment removed

  • all the emirs in Nigeria are of Fulani background. Fulani do have different looks because of mixture. in every region Fulani are found there's a look that is distinctly Fulani. Your Nigerian president looks like he could be a Woodabi. Many Senegalese Fulani look Woodabi the same goes for every region.

  • The Fulani that dont look Fulani may be people that are mixed with the groups the Fulani conquered. However, most Fulani have a distinct look. I can usually pick a Fulani out of a crowd. Igbo may be lighter then Yoruba. Some Fulani are darker then Igbo, but I have seen Fulani that are very light. Some Fulani people look as light as Berbers. I have never seen an Igbo that light. My grand mother has pictures of her people from the early 1900's and you'd be shocked to see the Berber looks.

  • Comment removed

  • One Igbo lady from Nigeria told me some Fulani in Nigeria are almost as white as people in Europe and America. I am just proud of being an African of Fulani descent. We Fulani are not white. We are Africans and black people. However, we have a rich history dont try and degrade us.

  • if your not nigeria dont make no comment again and this is your last warnning

  • My last warning ? your a joke. I am African, and I known many Igbo to be lazy and users of others. I know its not all but many

  • what where did u get that info from? sorry o, but igbos are hardworking, possibly the most hardworking of all nigerians. seriously. i know igbos to be hard hustlers, they don't play with that money

  • @AhavaYah It's mostly true observation, sadly.

  • @luckybushh I can't believe a person would

    be so ignorant and stuck up as yourself! All you

    do is stereotype Nigerians more and more.

    How could you tell your African bro/sis (AhavaYah) not

    to comment.

  • I think she was exaggerating about Fulani looking as white as people in Europe and America. That is false. We can be light complexioned, but we can also be dark complexioned. Baaba Maal is VERY DARK. Umaru Yar'adua is light for example, but no where near as light as a white person. We Fula people come in different complexions. Even within a region like where i'm from Fulani are in all different colors from light to very dark, but none are as light as a white person.

  • No she's not. The girl/boy is arguing with me that you guys are mixed. She/he believes you have those that are lightskin close to white.

    By the way, Yaradua isn't light. He's darker than me and i'm classified as brown. Yaradua is dark, he's not as dark as Maal though

  • In every African Ethnic group I have noticed there are both light and dark complexioned people. In the Mandé groups this is the case, in the Yoruba groups of Togo, Benin and Nigeria this is the case, even with us Fulani this is the case. The Fulani that inhabit the Fouta Tooro (Senegal and Mauritania) are perhaps the darkest people in the world (that is perhaps) . We Fulani are black, we are just as African as say the Igbo and Yoruba. Our language is a Niger-Congo language like Igbo

  • VRAI:I agree with you 1000% You really are a pride of Africa! Some of the people here on youtube are fond of stating that Fulani/ belong to the Afro-asiatic (whatever the f**k that means!))groups of people,in a bid to disassociate them with the so called 'bantu'(another f****d up description!), and claim them as being more Arabic than African!

    I'm so glad you acknowledge that WE ARE ONE PEOPLE! Light skinned, dark skinned, who cares! we are ALL AFRICAN!

    PEACE!!

  • I agree the thing is that, that's all I consider myself an African. Sure I am Fulani, my language is Fulfude/Puular, but in the end, I am an African, when I went to school I went to University at Undergrad level with all various sorts of ethnic groups from Songhai, Tamasheq, Bambara, etc. in the Malian/Niger region. We did not see each other as different. Here in the United States where I'm doing grad, I see many Nigerians of various ethnic groups and I respect them all.

  • BLESS YOU BROTHER!!

  • Bless you sister :-)

  • Greetings brother, which country are u from? what is the meaning of Diouf?

  • One other thing I was going to say is that Bantu/Semi-Bantu are found from Cameroon to the Eastern parts of Africa. Nigerians are not Bantu. Bantu is mainly a Southern/East African thing. Zulu are Bantu for example, their language belongs in the Bantu family. Shona is Bantu, etc. I like Bantu people though, I love their cultures (like Zulu culture) nothing wrong with it.

  • I read up on what you said Mr.Okechukwu and you are correct. Apparently there are a few Semi-Bantu groups in South Eastern Nigeria, so Bantu languages don't really start at Cameroon like i originally thought (Although Cameroon and Eastern Nigeria bare a lot of similarities so it makes sense). You're correct about the fact that there are many very dark Fulani, like Baaba Maal who is very famous or Mansour Seck. In fact the Fouta Tooro Fulani are amongst the darkest people in the world.

  • And yes, most West Africans (95%+) are of Sudanic Origin or originated from Sudan. West Africans meaning from Senegal to Nigeria.

  • Men, i like you. I agree with everything you say. We are all Africans (100% black and West African).

  • And yuu're right, Yar'Adua is not light he is what we would call in West Africa fair complexioned.

  • But there are west Africans lighter than him. Adaeze, Anita, Marilyn Nwene, Agbani, Oluchi, Stella Obasanjo, me and much more. But i get what you mean though. I like Yaradua, i hope to God that man gets better.

  • Ahava:1. Fulani are NOT nor have ever been the backbone of Nigeria! Nigeria is a diverse nation, and it is the NIGERIAN PEOPLE as a whole who are the backbone!

    You may be a Fulani (somehow i doubt it though!), but you are NOT Nigerian, so please, stop trying to cause tribalism amongst we Nigerians, by saying Igbo have done nothing for Nigeria, and have no history! that is a bloody insult to EVERY NIGERIAN, because WE know who WE are...EVERY SINGLE NIGERIAN HAS ROOTS, AND ARISTOCRACY....

    You are talking to a brick wall. He/She won't listen. Trust me.
