I am Fulani and proud Senegal/Guinea. 🇬🇳 🇸🇳
Yes
I am Gullah Creole, whose paternal forefathers (my father's father's father's bloodline) can be traced to the Fulani and Yoruba! I also have ancestry amongst the Hausa! They were brought to the Caribbean first, then the Sea Islands---but stood tall and strong. So proud of my heritage! Thank you so much for sharing this! Im learning so much!
Great to hear from a distant cousin.👍🏾From Ghana 🇬🇭
Fulani Yoruba and Hausa???😳🥴
I love you
Fulani, Balanta, & Mafa
My grandfather’s grandfather fought this Uthman Danfodio guy’s army on the banks of River Niger. He and his people had to flee south towards the Atlantic Ocean to avoid being eradicated by them. They later joined with the Yoruba warriors (from Ibadan I believe) to halt their advance south. Crazy times.
Really? Why where they at war and when was that
Nonsense 🤣
salman bah how’s it nonsense? What’s your own account of the story?
@@istrokepussy he didn't mention who his grandfather was
@@horusba2620 My grandfather's grandfather was one of 30 thousand brave soldiers. What's your point? Why do you think you'd know him?
Home Team, you need your own show on network television. The information you present is in-depth and very well presented .
I have to disagree! If his show was put on mainstream media. They will find a way to flip everything that he is teaching to glorify European power. They will find some way to Eurocentric his message to the people. Just like now, is considered patriotic to kneel during the national anthem! Even though when we were doing it, we would try and prove a point. The same with black lives matter they still trying to flip it for eurocentric people. he's fine where is that where he's on RUclips and on the internet. Because he's more free to be Unapologetic and unfilter with the message. Versus being on a television network.
@@Coolbird00 agreed
@El Darden We do have our own channel it was called B.E.T.! Until somebody sold it and made it into a copycat MTV. In the beginning B.E.T. had shows like "Teen Summit, B.E.T. News, Caribbean rhythm and Etc. But after they got bought out. All you saw was this drama, (made up rich black people drama. Made up copycat what we see white people doing drama programs and reality shows.) It's not about we need to make a channel for Content like this. Because we're talkin on a channel right now that he made already. It's all about you as an individual hitting that (Like and Share Button.) And helping out on his (Patreon.) This way no outside influence money can't come through and change the message. That's how we do things on RUclips!
Deshone Robinson I’m assuming you believe you’re Native American? Well there was a small number of Africans who lived in America before the slave trade but even then they descended from Africa lol just at an earlier date and they don’t even compare in numbers to those who were bought here as slaves but if you don’t want anything to do with Africa that’s okay but why come to a channel focused on african history?
@@Coolbird00 Yes and they will take all the money! Besides no one watches cable..we all on here.
Home team ! You guys need to translate these programs into spanish. Here in south america. We have no trace of black history. Not a clue. Where we came from . We know we are descendants from slavery . Please translate your programs into spanish. Thank you
Wow!
I can try and help can’t promise anything tho.
Please don't make assumptions
There are those who do know. Bonkos Bios from Guinea founded the last settlement of escaped Africans in 16th century. Still there today and is a UNESCO world heritage site. I appreciate the importance of Spanish translation perhaps he can help with that. Regards.
There are other fulani empires/ states like futa djallon, futa toro, massina, adama... etc. It would be nice if you can do a video about that.
Yeah
and of course the most destructive Fulani empire, the Segu Tokolor empire of al-Hajj Umar Tal.
@Landa Denise Malone Sokoto alone greatly increased literacy in the region and a golden age of Trade with the Gonja kola nut trade(an estimated 1500 tons of kola nut imported from the Asante empire) as well as a large amount of Textiles n cotton(around 2 million bales produced everywhere compared to The American souths 3 million bales a year. )
@Landa Denise Malone literature as well as the writings of West African thinkers were apart of the average Fulani childs education. Agriculture Mathematics and many other things were taught at places like the Sankore university of Timbuktu
Landa Denise Malone how about you find out yourself :)?!
Fascinating video as always 🙂 Just finished reading Children of Blood and Bone, and it's interesting to learn the history of locations mentioned, as well as to see some parallel from the real history with the story. Thank you!

The Fulani experience for Nigeria is a double edged sword. There is the impressive history of conquest and expansion, which you featured.
Today, they are still be attempting to expand and ring fence the Nigerian economy for their benefit, which has caused many deaths and tens of thousands of displaced people.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful history. I am a great-great grandson of Almaami Boubacar Biro Barrie, the last Emperor of Futa Djallon
Please Africans let's love each other and stop tribalism so that Africa will be the most powerful continent in the world
First, tell your kinsmen to stop being evil towards others...Just see what's going on in Nigeria...
I have seen your comment under another video, you sound like a reasonable person which is rare to find among Fulanis... Know that "tribalism" won't exist if other people are not evil... If we tell people to keep quiet (because we think them complaining means they are tribalists) when they are being treated bad, then evil people won't stop doing evil. Also, if we are talking about tribalism, Fulani people are the boss in this, they are chief tribalists, at least from what is happening in Nigeria....

The best on RUclips long time no see nice video. They're good looking people thanks for sharing this great information.
I listen to these while I’m at my construction job
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.
I very much appreciate the research you and the Home Team do to make this information available to us. The picture sand graphics are beautiful . I am wondering if the Team/narrator could be assisted to pronounce the names of people, places, and term correctly. The mispronunciations compromise the quality of the materials. Wishing you continued success.

In Cuba they still use the term Fulano often, which translates to "so and so person", which i believe was a way to dehumanize the Fulani people by Spanish Colonialists but now somehow is an endearing term
Well Fulani means” so and so person “ it’s originally Arabic , the phrase probably came to Spain then Latin America via the moors.
Fulan is originally Arabic word which explains why its popular in Spanish language.

Question friends. Home Team mentioned that some people (Usman's people) migrated to this region from somewhere and they were not considered true Muslims. Who were these people and where did they come from? Were they largely Muslim then converted when they reached the West or a different religion? What triggered them to leave from wherever they were prior to reaching new lands in the West? Thanks in advance for any additional insight!
He meant the Hausas were not considered true Muslims
@@seismicvertigo345 and he buy them and sold them
I'm not surprised I told you guys the where !😒😔

You can google Sokoto caliphate on googles images and see it. Remember that Africa is portrayed as way smalled than it is in real life, so Sokoto Caliphate is way bigger than it will look like.

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
That's kind of the point. He makes brief introductory spots that drop breadcrumbs for the truly interested to follow up on their own.
@@karenl7786 I think what he left out may give a bad impression of the original jihad. I have read the original documents - even those who disagreed with some of the later movements agreed the cause was righteous.
Hello. Where can I find that book?
@@stillwaters5134 For Muhammad Bello’s account of the entire Jihad I’d suggest A History of Islam, Scholarship and Revivalism in Western Sudan, Being an Annotated Translation with Introduction of Infaqul-Mausur fi Tarikh Bilad al-Tukur of Sultan Muhammad Bello bin Fodio by Salahudeen Yusuf.
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. I haven’t had time to compare the versions I have with this online edition.
The later portions of the work detail the entire Jihad and Salahudeen’s edition includes a republished account of the correspondence with Bornu which reveals interesting things related to motivations of the Jihad being extended into Bornu.

Habe ruling class were also fulani ruling class before shaikh dan fodio in some hausa states and were muslims as well, shaikh danfodio didn't bring islam to the nothern Nigeria as a new religion because they were already muslims for centuries but rather transform and reform the region and abolish alot of ill cultured traits emboded in hausa ruling class of social injustice and segregation of classes.
We are proud of what shaikh fodio did by shaping our society and a pure Identity to relate to. That's the reason when the white man came he had nothing to seduce us, not with his christianity and not with his culture. The only thing he had is to destroy us, massacre our ancestors in burmi and other places.
For that we are proud and to Allah we give all thanks.
Wrong story about hausa land they are not existing fulani empires in hausa kingdom. We were Muslim many centuries before Usman dang fodio, this is fantasmagoric story
Fulani are not indigenous to that demographic called 🇳🇬
Your just rewriting history to your side indeed dan fossil did many good to hausas but saying that those exile kings were not have is ridiculous you mean Fulani created hausa land and that hausa are fulani or what ??

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.
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.
Checkout the Gbaya people in Central African republic, they left northern Nigeria because the Fulanis showed up with their nonesense
@@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. The same has to be said about European colonisation. All these actors and influences need to be shown. I think we can agree about that? I don't want a "procès d'intention" as they say in French. Only facts worth to mention.
Know I'm a huge fan of your RUclips program. I wanted just attract your attention on some facts that had dramatic consequences in the region. As you and I know, our species, homo sapiens, what ever the colour of skin, can be very brutal and dangerous. It's a sad fact, isn't it?

@King David I use inner Africa
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.

Hometeam! You gotta do a video on slavery in West Africa and those who were enslaved on the continent and not transported to the Americas.
The Fulani in Nigeria is currently a bode of contention.
Sharde why?
I thought they intermixed with Hausa so, while there are Fulani outside Nigeria, they are called Hausa-Fulani there.
@@thenewmayorofcrazytown7392 Respect due, but I'm from Urhobo in the southern part of modern Nigeria, we don't even acknowledge there really is a country like that in our little bit by the coast. Its deep, yes there is some intermingling there Fulani-Hausa yes..after all Hausa is their main language there.
The issue is the role of the British and how there are real tensions as Fulani are increasingly moving south and east into traditional lands of other tribes. Its not something to discuss too much here, because this channel is glorious and I do not wish to detract from that.
All I can say is what is happening in Nigeria, suggests the British only left physically.
@@thenewmayorofcrazytown7392 Yes, but that mixture is overplayed to an extent. You can't tell me Zaria is not a Hausa city and Yola is not a Fulani city.
@@sunnya4310 did anybody deny anything here? Shwo! The issue is the tensions that are apparent. Yes there are distinct identities and there are commonalities amongst these two peoples.
The question is how many presidents have come from them. It explains some of the tensions.
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.
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..
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
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.
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.
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.
