Shehu Dan Fodio was also critical of many of the practices of his own people that went against the Islamic Sharia(Law) it was hardly only a Hausa issue as many of the Fulanis had the same issues as well which is why Shehu Dan Fodio dedicated a lot of his time to writing, preaching,and reforming society before he embarked on his Jihad.

Your coverage of the origins of the Jihad is very brief and leaves much out. You neglected to mention the intensive repression measure the Hausa rulers were imposing not only on the poor Hausa but upon Uthman and his community itself. For one, you left out the re-enactment of the Hijra of the prophet Muhammad. When Dan Fodio moved his community away from Gobir to escape persecution. The Gobirawa pursued them and attempted to kill them. Dan Fodio was actually a tutor of one of the Hausa ruler’s sons at one point but he turned against Dan Fodio. They banned conversion to Islam, demanded people return to the religion of their forefathers, banned the wearing of turbans, intercepted and jailed Islamic traders amongst other things. Additionally, they imposed illegal taxes upon the people of Hausaland which was one of the primary reasons the Jihad began. Dan Fodio was also bothered by the Hausa practices of enslavement. It had been well established that it was illegal under Islamic law to enslave freeborn Muslims and yet the Hausa rulers did it. Dan Fodio’s Jihad generates a massive number of captives (this was permitted under Islamic law) but Dan Fodio actually retreated and turned leadership over to his son Muhammad Bello when it became clear the Jihad had grown out of control and was no longer following Islamic principles. If you are interested I have a copy of Bello’s account of the entire Jihad I would be willing to share with you. It is the original Arabic as well as an English translation. I also have access to a few of Dan Fodio’s works including one detailing the laws and opinions related to justified jihad and enslavement. In Bello’s account there are also the letters exchanged between he and Kanemi of Borno

This is the most reliable English translation. If you can read Arabic you can find it rather easily online. I wouldn’t trust any old website but you may find an English translation here: siiasi.org/digital-archive/sultan-muhammad-bello/infaql-maysuur/ I would place a published translation over the website in quality though.

[@genuinediasporan6661]

Fulani are marauders. They are pirates of the desert. They never built their own territory but using Islam as deceit to take over other people’s civilisation and Kingdoms. When fulani invaded hausa territory in 18th century, I couldn't comprehend till now why a foreigner will just come to your own land and conquers you. My historical research reveals that hausa people also practices traditions and there are Traditionalist in hausa land before Fulani Jihadists attacked them and conquers the territory. As an hausa man, I write with regret that we are confused in my land. The fulanis has mixedup with us. You cant identify an hausa man from a fulani, kanuri etc. We have lost the power to fight back. Come to think of Yoruba people, the history recorded that the same fulani that conquered the hausa kingdom never succeeded in Yorubaland. Why? I need to be sincere by putting aside religion, the traditional fighters in Yorubaland saved the yoruba Territory. The fulani attacked the yoruba kingdom suddenly and unprepared, but these men fought back to retain their Territory. They fought not with islam or christianity, they fought with both guns and Traditional power. Write this down today for record purpose, yoruba will never be relevant again in life any day they do away with their culture or traditional practices. I have been to some countries where I saw yoruba cultures and Traditionalist, they are special especially in the western world. If the fulani had met on Christianity or islam in Yorubaland when they invaded them in 18th century, then Yorubaland would have been like hausaland. But these Traditionalist fought with their powers by defeating the fulanis in various wars. I have read that fulani and yoruba are enemies historically. Let me expose a secret, the fulani fears the yoruba people because of yorub Traditional power. Those practicing Islam in Yorubaland will be very easy for fulani to penetrate exactly the way they penetrated hausa people and Kanuri in the North. Hausa was unable to fight back the fulani because of religion. Both fulani and hausa practices islam, so there is no a secret power in Quran that hausa will use against fulani because both of them knew about it. Look at the yorubas, they have something different which is known to them. And this is why they were able to use it against any foreign invaders. Do not get me wrong, am not saying fulani, hausa or igbos etc in Nigeria doesn't have culture or Traditional powers. My point is that they didnt take those powers important, unlike the yorubas who made it important as their religion. Most of their kings are spiritual. How many of my Emirs have that type of power? Were there not hausa leaders in hausa kingdom before fulani conquers them? Why didn't they succeeded in Yorubaland? The Amotekun, OPC and other yoruba security groups in Nigeria, do you think they just carry all guns and went to the forest? When yoruba said they will mercilesly deals with Bokoharam if they (Bokoharam) ever tried to attacked their Territory, do you think this statements came from a pastor or Imam? It actually came from yoruba Traditionalist. The fulani and other yoruba enemies have been looking for a way to penetrate Yorubaland, but this traditional power is their fear. Quote me anywhere. I know what I am saying! I am not a fool! You dont compare black people with whites, we are different. We need to look back at history, I am an educated hausa man who knows much about history. The day all yoruba becomes Christian's, Muslims or atheists will be the day Yorubaland will become ordinary and not culturally relevant like others. Then their closest enemies will come back and conquers them eventhough they fail to conquers their fathers in history.

True, there was NO Sahara before 6,000 years ago and there's rock art depicting tropical animals such as Giraffe and Hippos the animals you see from.central Africa, when the Sahara started to turn into a desert many people started to migrate to the Nile and Niger river where there's water, such as the people of Nabta Playa which dated between 7,000 BC located in the Nubian Desert located few miles from Abu Simble and started to migrate northwards. Also Sudan, Chad are all in the sahara.

[@truedreams1]

I saw in a video that one of the Fulani leaders sent a letter to the Europeans about why are you taking our slaves without permission and why are you taking our people! But he was taken aswell. So how can some people blame the Fulani for what the Europeans did? It wasn't intentional, did they even know what was happening in America? The slavery that existed in Africa can't be compared to the American one, in Africa they where like maids and a part of the family, it is common even today today to have maids in Africa, while in America they where treated worse than animals and had their Muslim names taken and replaced by Christian names, this was the Holocaust of Africans.

[@seismicvertigo345]

Fulanis are a different class. They were and today are still killing people. This was not the "kind slavery" you are trying to speak of. Again, I don't even have to frame this in past tense; they are still killing people in lands they are not indigenous to. Like, Ima just come in here cause I'm a nomad and now you and your entire family line are dead. What you have to understand is they had NO ties to the places they raided, they are not from near their victims; they had no love for them..

[@koussi76]

All west african ethnic groups took part in slavery. They captured other groups that were rivals trust me on this it’s not even just fulani

[@truedreams1]

Seismic Vertigo You can find that in the history of any country in the world that once upon a time some people came and conquered the land, even Europe was conquered and colonized (by Cesar), but those countries who prosper they don't dwell on old wars a long time ago. If you fight within your country everyone loses. Instead Africans need to cooperate with the good people within our countries and with good people across Africa as well. I think this channel is doing a great work to make Africans get to know each other and have a common identity.

[@truedreams1]

madcoki Yes, unfortunately many Arabs have treated Africans bad throughout history because they see us as competitors since we where historicaly richer and more powerful than them. The messenger Mohammed fought hard against this racism and promoted global brotherhood. One of the first to write a book promoting black pride was Arab scholar Ibn Jawzi (may Allah have mercy on him) because he saw what his black brothers had to endure from Arabs. We Africans never had black pride because we didn't see ourselves as one people, too busy fighting over tribes. But since we are seen as one we have to respond as one, because what one black man does affects all black men.

[@Dcain2]

Here you go with that “their slavery wasn’t as bad as white man’s slavery”.... slavery is slavery. Just like rape is rape. You don’t here folks saying “my rape was not as bad as HIs rape” lol. Humans have oppressed each other since forever. And the Arab slave trade and the trans Atlantic slave trade had African conspirators. It’s the truth. No need to sugar coat it.

[@johannleuckx1625]

Interesting document but sadly enough only a partial view on the Sokoto empire. Due to it's Islamic inspiration they considered all the people they conquered and who weren't Muslim as slaves. You had the clivage between Dar Al Islam and Dar Al harb, the land of Islam and that of war, where you could take slaves. There was even a second conflict between the pastoralist Fulani and the non Fulani farmers. Many people left the fertile plains in Northern Cameroon and fled to the neighbouring mountains. They were called by the Fulani Kirdi, what could be translated as pagan, and comes originally from the Kanuri. Today this therme covers people like the Kapsiki, Fali etc.. They suffered a lot under the Sokoto reign. I understand the admiration for big empires, but often there are also less glorious facts underneath that need to be dealt with, who unpleasant it can be. Good historians aren't afraid to study the lesser glorious facts of a society . They give more info on a particular society. A clearer and better view and understanding on the whole.

[@hometeamhistory806]

I personally don’t admire Sokoto, was just discussing some of its history. I also mentioned entire plantations they had of enslaved people, I don’t see that as a glowing aspect of their history and It wasn’t ignored. However, I do think Sokoto is deserving of the title because of its size and influence in West Africa. Similar to how Rome is deserving of the title despite its grotesque atrocities committed across the globe (which is largely ignored). Rarely are their calls for such historical nuance... so as to dim the light. Unfortunately, respect for humanity is not a way in which we measure the greatness of expansionist states. Perhaps we’ll reach that perspective some day.

[@johannleuckx1625]

@@hometeamhistory806 yes you mentioned their plantation system . But my point is, if you want to understand the problems of today, you need to mention the influences of yesterday.
