Who gave Fulani the second largest ethnicity in West Africa?.. Yoruba are more than Fulani, so how's Fulani the second largest?.. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

garfield1:Stop saying what you don't know, that Fulani are all over West Africa doesn't mean they're more.. What's their population in those countries?.. Apart from Guinea, Fulani is not the largest group in any country.. And even Guinea is just 14m. Hope you know Nigeria population is larger than the rest West Africa countries combine?.. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

This Fulani dolt with the usual gibberish. Always spewing gibberish. Fulani isn't indigenous to Nigeria. Something you need to sink into your brain if you've got any..

garfield1: The fulanis may be ubiquitous in west africa, but they certainly do not constitute the 2nd largest ethnicity in the subregion. The hausas still outstrip the fulanis in west africa. The major tribes in Nigeria are the largest in west africa by population, though only only the hausa and yoruba tribes find indigeneship in other countries apart from Nigeria. Assimilation in the north has made it a bit difficult to seperate the hausa d tribes from the fulani, but the fulani seem to dominate narratives more even though the 1st fulani president came in 19 yrs after independence. 1 Like |

This is far from truth. Fulani is one of the most smallest tribe in the north. All these tribes are bigger than Fulani: Idoma Tiv Igala Ebira Kagoro Igede Babur Angas, etc 2 Likes |

forgiveness: The oku were not naturally indigenous to the countries you mentioned. They are slave returnee descendants. The igbos had returnee slaves settled in sierra leone too. Their respective populations are now negligible. Its like me claiming that some igbos are from equatorial guinea, whereas any igbo equatoguinean is a product of 20th century migration. 3 Likes |

Dsimmer: You unintelligently asked of a local govt' bearing Fulani name and now you're shamelessly shifting the post again. Why do you like roaming around confusedly like a headless chicken? Only a swaggering incompetent brainless baboon does that. Well, Uthman Danfodio's left bathroom slipper is far greater than all the of your tribe dead or alive and those that will be unluckily born in the future. 3 Likes |
