Nigeria FULANI ARISTOCRACY & Political Dynamics. (Updated). It was composed 1993,written & circulated 1994 and updated 2016.xx
In the North, the legacy of the Sokoto Caliphate and its Islamic traditions bore handsome fruits for the Fulani aristocracy as the great – grandsons and direct descendants of the conqueror of the Hausa, Nupe, and Ilorin – Yoruba state walked back into supreme and expanded power in Northern Nigeria. As the minority ruling group was in full control in the Northern Region while in the Southern Region, there were fresh political ethnic majorities in power.
Today, those who exercise national power do so from minority positions, Indeed, of the three groups that attained national power in the early politics of the decolonization decade of the 1950s namely Yoruba, Igbo and Fulani, the only group that still retain power at the national level is the Fulani aristocracy which was not a demographic majority in the first place.
Consequently,on the above,some controversial conclusions are reached. It no longer makes good academic sense to rate the Igbo as a majority power bloc in the past bellum era of Nigeria political history or could one say of the Yoruba that they constitute an effective power bloc despite producing Military & Civilian Heads of State. In spite of the views in the South to the contrary, the majority Hausa have never been an independent power bloc in the North, as they have only exercised as much power as their Fulani overlords have allowed them.
