OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU
From the Sons and Daughters of Hausa Land
Date: 11 May 2025
Subject: Declare Herdsmen Militias and Armed Bandits as Terrorists — Now Is the Time

Your Excellency,

We, the people of Northern Nigeria especially the Hausa communities of the Northwest write to you not just in grief, but with deep urgency. We are under siege.

The time has come for you, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to officially declare herdsmen militias and armed bandits as terrorists. Every day you delay, our people continue to die, our villages continue to fall, and our future dims.

Why We Understand Igbo, Yoruba, and Southern Youths Who Defend Their People

For years, we could not understand why some Southern youths took up arms to protect their land. Today, we fully understand and them. When your people are under attack and the state is absent or complicit, self-defense becomes a duty, not an option.

In Sokoto, Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna, and Niger States, Fulani terrorist bandits have taken over hundreds of towns and villages:

Over 40% of Sokoto State is now under bandit control.

In Zamfara, over 320 towns are ruled by warlords like Ada Aleru.(Sarkin Fulanin 'yan ɗoton daji)

In Eastern Sokoto, more than 320 villages are under Bello Turji.

In Katsina, killers like Mai Jika roam free, butchering people daily.

Our women are enslaved, raped, and held in the forests forgotten by the state.

Farms have been abandoned, schools shut down, roads destroyed.

We ask:

How can a few hundred thousand terrorists defeat a government that commands one of Africa's largest militaries?

Why are Fulani elites and some scholars defending or excusing these terrorists?

Why is our military helpless while terrorists mock our nation on TikTok?

Why is the government more focused on crushing local vigilantes than confronting the real enemy?

A National Emergency

Between 2015 and 2024, over ,900,000 people have been killed by Fulani terrorist bandits.
The Yauri schoolgirls remain missing.
Mosques are attacked.
Children are kidnapped daily.
Every major road is unsafe.

This is not banditry. This is terrorism.

The Senate Has Spoken

On September 30, 2021, the Nigerian Senate urged the President to declare bandits as terrorists and launch a total war, including bombing all bandit camps. Yet, years later, nothing has changed. The killing continues. The inaction persists.

Our Final Word

We, the Hausa people, are not inferior.
We are not second-class citizens in our own land.
Our lives matter.

We the right of Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, and all Southern people to defend themselves — and we claim that same right for the Hausa people.

We say again:

Declare these bandits terrorists.
Launch a full-scale military operation across all front-line states.
Bring justice to the innocent and punishment to the guilty.

This is our call, and we will not be silent.

Signed:
Concerned Sons and Daughters of the Hausa Land
Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, and Kaduna States.

#hausaactivist #Hausawa #Hausa

My first job was Address Verification Officer, doing KYC for Diamond bank and FCMB (under a law firm). I was paid #200 per address, earning about 30k per month.

Now, I work as an Operations Manager for a Distributor that deals with about 7 different companies. What I earn? Only after I leave a place will I disclose what I was earning there. But 6 digits sha.

I when the then US Secretary of State during the Obama regime visited Nigeria, he went and met the Sultan and some Fulani high ranking demons, completely ignoring the sitting government. The aftermath? Chibok girls stolen and the US taking up the issue like a hawker selling gala in Lagos traffic. This contributed to the terrible image being portrayed about GEJ. Don't forget to mention the contribution of Sunusi in spewing lies against his boss. It was a well calculated assault on a government that appear to move in a positive direction. Clearly, the US had a hand in ousting a relatively better government and replacing it with a demonic one (ask Libyans).

Now, I may not Tinubu, but I tend to appreciate the fact that Fulanis are not having the field day they are used to. Of course, the same game played against GEJ by Fulanis (to BAT's advantage) is now being played against BAT:
1 - Kill as many Northerners as possible to make the Northerners hate the incumbent

2 - Get US in giving the incumbent a bad name before a global audience

3 - Organize a big, globally condemnable event to keep the world focus on Nigeria, negatively, and continuously hyping the issue till election time

4 - Sabotage every effort to address the orchestrated evil using demons in the government

5 - Finally unseat the incumbent and replace with a useless, lifeless Fulani idiot.

, the whole idea is to set Nigeria backwards by a decade or two. Interestingly, a particular tribe never fail to appear top of the treachery list. Their people are spread all over the country, waiting for instructions on where to hit, and when.

This meeting with MACBAN is simply a strategy communication meeting, along with some high level information sharing. I don't trust them both.

My opinion.

Nothing short of a hypocrite.

Who boards a motorcycle from Uromi to Ekpoma? Like Seriously?

Toh fah!

This one is strong.

Okay?

I hear buruku and nemonia inside, is that the names of the two devices he was holding?

Ehem... I also heard minimonie. Is that what the devices are used for?

amnesty7:

😁😁😁
An imposter is easily identifiable.

Knock yourself out. I have no time to waste on delusional folks.

Avoid my mention if you have nothing meaningful to say.

Finally in Kano. Na now una go see madness. Hausawan Kano, lokaci ya yi.

Useless idiots.

Dallah gafara can!

If you like don't form your own indigenous vigilante groups to respond to Fulanis in kind, na una people go finish las las.

I hate stupidity.

Even we the Hausawa are regrouping to tackle the Fulani's madness but these idiots are here speaking English.

So VDM is your problem?

Any normal person knows this.

What do you expect from a useless old man, sitting on a chair built on lies and deceit?
Abeg shift. Dan ta'adda.

Rubbish talk from an old fool. No Fulani will ever smell the presidency of Nigeria again. NEVER.

I'd rather vote a thousand Tinubu than any Fulani in whatever political position.

You've been hit by .. You've been struck by . A smooth criminal.

You gerit?

They will pay for this, ten Terrorist to one Hausa person killed is the deal. Useless subhumans called Fulani. Tsinannu.

And you will not hear a word from any Northern politicians.

I trust Hausawa vigilante groups to respond in kind. Again, ten to one please. Ku kashe 'ya'yan zina 'yan ta'adda.

Osanoghodua1:
Stupid things by Edo governor! He even stood up while addressing a deputy governor, he's a coward, I heard he was speaking Hausa when he got to Kano! Not against him going to Kano or them coming here but he should also tell them the menace of the northerners here.

He shouldn't have gone to Kano. His SSG would have been enough.

Rubbish. I am a Hausa man from Kano, but I strongly disagree with the way this Fulani idiots are over hyping this whole issue. We the Hausawa already see through their hypocrisy. Their aim is to incite hatred in our hearts against other Nigerians from the South, because that is how they isolate and control us. Yes, Hausa people were killed because they were confused for Fulani Terrorists. Of course we seek justice for the people killed and nothing more. We know that Fulani Terrorists are the reasons for the unfortunate incident.

Please Southerners, this should not in any way I intimidate you into cowardice as regard dealing with Fulani Terrorists. The moment you identify them, KILL THE FUCKERS.

The Fulanis politicians are trying to use this incident to minimize the backlash against their Terrorists down South. Don't fall for it.

Have you ever seen any of them blink an eye when Fulani Terrorists destroyed and killed entire Hausa villages up North? No. So why the sudden activism against killing of Hausawa now? We clearly can see through their hypocrisy.

As for Edolites, your governor is clearly a useless person. No Fulani governor would have done what he did. Why travel to Kano yourself? Why not send your SSG or SSHA?

Vote him out.

A Nairalander asked me to mention some of the folk heroes of the Hausa People. I mentioned a few, but there are many more. Hence, I will dedicate this thread to posting about Hausa Folk Heroes. I hope this helps to educate people about the rich history of the Hausa people, and also offer insights about the mind of the Hausa people today.

Let's begin!

Folk Hero 1: Sultan Umar Dan Kanajeji
(Credit to #hausaactivist)

Sultan Umar Dan Kanajeji (1410–1421): The Hausa Scholar King of Kano

Sultan Umar Dan Kanajeji, the 14th ruler of Kano, was a distinguished scholar, a devout Muslim, and a man known for his love of knowledge and spiritual discipline. His reign marked a rare blend of leadership and piety that made him stand out in Hausa history.

Early Life and Education

Umar, son of Sultan Ibrahim Kanajeji and Yatari, was born into royalty but was raised with a strong emphasis on Islamic education. He began his early Qur’anic studies under local scholars in Kano. Later, he advanced his knowledge in a renowned Islamic school in Ɗoto, Zamfara, which was a hub for Islamic scholarship in the region at the time.

Seeking deeper knowledge, he journeyed further to the old Borno Empire, back when it was still in its original eastern location before the major westward migration in 1398 that brought it closer to Hausa land. Borno, at that time, was already a prestigious center of Islamic learning in West Africa.

Links to Timbuktu and Egypt

According to oral traditions, Sultan Umar was said to have also attended Islamic schools in Timbuktu, the famous intellectual capital of the Western Sudan. He was reportedly preparing for an academic journey to Egypt, likely to study at Al-Azhar University, one of the world’s oldest centers of Islamic learning.

However, his plans changed when news reached him of his father's death. He returned to Kano and, following tradition and pressure from the kingdom, accepted to ascend the throne in 1410.

His Reign

As emir, Umar ruled with justice and peace for 12 years. His reign was marked by:

Stability across Kano

Promotion of Islamic education

Absence of wars or oppression

Deep personal involvement in teaching and scholarship

The Visit That Changed Everything

Years into his reign, an old friend and fellow student, Malam Abubakar, visited him and was astonished at the luxury and royal treatment surrounding Umar. In a heartfelt moment, Malam Abubakar told him:

“O Umar! So the world has married you after all? Beware, for many wise ones rejected this bride.”

This struck a chord deep in the Sultan’s soul. The encounter sparked a profound spiritual reflection.

His Final Poem: The Voice of a King Turning to God

Days after the encounter, Umar summoned his court and recited a moving poem in Arabic pa farewell to power and a declaration of his devotion to Allah:

١. اللهُ وَاحِدٌ، هُوَ الَّذِي أَدْعُوهُ دَائِمًا،
لَا مَعْبُودَ سِوَاهُ، هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْقُدِّيرُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ.
Allahu Wāḥidun, to Him alone I call — there is no deity but Him, the Most High, the Almighty, the Protector.

٢. الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَنَحَنِي نِعَمًا وَمُلْكًا،
وَعَلَّمَنِي الْعِلْمَ، وَفَتَحَ لِي بَابَ الْفَهْمِ.
Praise be to Allah, who granted me kingship and knowledge, and opened for me the door of understanding.

٣. اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ،
نُورِ الْقُلُوبِ وَبَدْرِ الْهُدَى، وَشَفِيعِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
Peace be upon Prophet Muhammad — the light of hearts, the moon of guidance, and our intercessor on the Day of Judgment.

٤. إِنَّ الْمُلْكَ أَمَانَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ لَهْوًا وَلَا تَرَفًا،
مَنْ عَدَلَ فَلَهُ جَنَّةٌ، وَمَنْ ظَلَمَ فَالنَّارُ أَوْلَى بِهِ.
Kingship is a trust, not a plaything or luxury. The just will find Paradise, and the oppressor will face the Fire.

٥. الْعِلْمُ نُورٌ يُضِيءُ الدُّرُوبَ وَالْقُلُوبَ،
مَنْ نَشَرَهُ فَهُوَ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ وَأَنْفَعُهُمْ.
Knowledge is a light that brightens paths and hearts. Whoever spreads it is the best and most beneficial of people.

٦. الدُّنْيَا زَائِلَةٌ، مَلِيئَةٌ بِالْفِتَنِ وَالْغُرُورِ،
وَنَظْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ إِلَى الْآخِرَةِ تَسْوَى أَلْفَ دُنْيَا.
This world is fleeting, filled with deception and trials. One glance at the Hereafter is worth more than a thousand worlds.

٧. تَرَكْتُ التَّاجَ وَالْعَرْشَ خَوْفًا مِنَ الرَّبِّ،
وَأَخَذْتُ الْقَلَمَ وَالْأَلْوَاحَ لِتَعْلِيمِ النَّاسِ.
I left the throne and crown out of fear of the Lord, and I took up the pen and tablet to teach the people.

Abdication and Later Life

After reciting these verses, Umar formally abdicated the throne in 1421, at age 49. He returned to a life of seclusion, worship, and teaching.

He ed away seven years later. He was buried at the Wali Mai Geza Cemetery, near Kofar Mazugal in Kano. His grave became a place of reverence after a stream (geza) appeared and circled it hence the name "Mai Geza."

Sultan Umar Dan Kanajeji remains a shining example of a king who chose knowledge over power, the Hereafter over worldly gain, and faith over fame, nearly 400 years before the rise of Usman dan Fodio.

#hausaactivist #Hausa #Kanajeji

Is this an attempt to launder the image of Fulani Terrorists in Nigeria?

Sorry, it doesn't work.

The Fulanis are terrorists, Simple. The strikers shoot, the defenders are the so called educated and hardworking ones living close to reasonable people.

Beware!

Lies.

The Majority of Fulanis and actions of their strikers (Fulani Terrorists Herdsmen). Stop the bullshit PR campaign.

Reflect7:


That does not mean, you BIGOT, that all, or most herdsmen are killers.

Do you know there are over 4 MILLION Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria?

I repeat, 99.9% of Fulani herdsmen, that group of people that supply 250 million of you your daily meat, shaki, and pomo, are INNOCENT, HARDWORKING MEN.

So stop being a BIGOT based on what you saw in the news.

Just ing this post made about two years ago. How time flies.

Well, they never ed me and all calls and emails sent to the HR were not even acknowledged, much less responded to. I later found out they employed the other guy because he knows the HR assistant's brother.

So much for equal opportunity.

Well, currently doing well elsewhere. God is good.

Let me just keep quiet. Silence is usually the best answer to give a clearly stupid individual.

We are still waiting for the results of the so called investigation on the allegations raised against sacred Fulani cows in the FG by General Tchiani.

Omoawoke:
Adesiyan called on the federal government to immediately look for a way to disarm the criminals and educate them, and possibly reintegrate them back to the society, adding that the bandits don’t know what they are doing.

I was pitying this idiot until I read this part

Seconded. Dem suppose off the wereh.
What rubbish!

By the time collectors are done with him eh, him go need therapy.

No comment. Women stuff.

Thunder fire the idiot referring to Hausa- Fulani in this post.

Why is it difficult to understand simple things, such as there is NOTHING like Hausa-Fulani?

Samantha125:
What's that one milestone that you can say the Hausa people have been able to achieve in the past 20 years?

To be honest, I will say the gradual awareness (among a growing number of Hausawa) that we are a subjugated people, and the desire to embrace our roots and other countrymen (whom we were lead to believe are our greatest enemies).

The reality of a Hausa man, especially a Muslim, reaching out to his Non-Muslim tribesmen and other Nigerians with open arms of brotherhood, was unimaginable 20 years ago. With tears in my eyes, I cannot explain how proud this makes me feel. My people are beginning to learn how to be objective in their interaction with others, especially on matters of state. That is a milestone, Ma'am.

Well you are actually right, my people should actually share the blame for our predicament. We chose to follow leaders blindly, and it is one great weakness of the Hausawa.

Yes, outside of Islam, Hausawa have a culture of their own. However, because the Hausa tribe is above 95% Muslims, and coupled with the fact that Hausa people follow leaders blindly, the Fulanis demonized anything of Hausa culture (only sparing the elements of Hausa culture they are trying to make theirs, such as the so called Fulani dress, which is in fact a Hausa dress for the Priestesses of Hausa Traditional religious cults called Bori).

You may observe that only the Fulanis in Hausaland dress like that. Those in others countries outside Hausaland dress differently, because what you are made to believe to be Fulani dress actually belongs to the Hausawa (among other cultural elements).

Samantha125:
But I don't get it, how come a whole minority tribe is dominating the majority? Because to me it seems like you're blaming the Fulanis for all of your failures without wanting to take responsibility for anything... Sure, maybe they manipulated you guys one way or the other, but it can't be in every aspect of life.

And do you guys have your own Hausa culture outside of Islam?

Samantha125:
I've only heard of Fulanis from most of the countries that you've mentioned... And how come the Hausa people are the largest tribe in Nigeria, but we don't know anything about them?

Who's your folk hero and what was he or she known for?

People don't know much about the Hausawa because the Fulanis made sure that anything that benefits the Hausas (including popularity) is hijacked by them. They even coined the Hausa-Fulani construct to gradually make the Hausa an afterthought. All our quoters in the Federal system are filled with Fulanis (Military and Civilian). They impoverished the Hausawa to keep them as voting animals (only useful every four years).
They also used religion to brainwash the Hausas, separating them from each other (through sects) and from fellow Nigerians from other parts (through poisonous teachings that stir hatred). All Muslim clarics that preach terrorism and religious bigotry are Fulanis. The Hausa Muslim Clerics are peaceful, but not as popular (due to government sidelining).

Heros? We have tons of them, but they are unknown to most (even among the Hausawa), because the Fulanis ensured that History is distorted. Why do you think History was removed from our educational curriculum?

Read about Bawa Jan Gwarzo (Gobir), Muhammadu Rumfa (Kano), Muhammadu Makau (Zazzau), Amina (Zazzau), Muhammadu Alwali (Kano) and many others. People of noble stock they were.

Don't believe any good thing you read man Dan Fodio (the Fulani's hero), dude was the inspiration that drives Bello Turji. He was a bloody terrorist who used religion to carry out a genocide. Like I said, there is a reason why Hausawa are deliberately kept illiterate and history is removed from our schools. Someone is trying to hide something.

Samantha125:
In which other African countries can one find the Hausa people?

Sudan, Mali, Niger, Ghana, Morocco, Chad, Senegal, and so on.
