The revered Hausa activist, founder of Jaruma Hausa TV, a channel dedicated to sharing emancipation messages and enlightenment for the unity and progress of the native indigenous Hausa people of Nigeria writes to draw the attention of Hausa people based in Plateau state to be wary of backing Fulani terror’ists to be on the safe side. Ƴar Hausa, as she was fondly called stresses, “Be warned: they are on a mission to exterm’inate the indigenous people so they can claim their lands.”
I hereby call on the people of Plateau, particularly to know and understand the magnitude of terrori’sm that Danfodio perpetrated against the Hausas in Hausaland in the 19th century, in 1804. Hausa people, wherever you may be across the length and breadth of this country, I hope you have woken up to your challenges.
All Hausas in the country, including those in Jos, Plateau State – our Muslims, Christians, and Traditionalists – I want to draw your attention to a letter that the indigenous peoples of Jos have written to me (Kaltum Alumbe Jitami). They state that whatever animosity exists between them and the Fulani has nothing to do with the Hausas. However, they have asked me to come out in my capacity as a Muslim and an activist to draw the attention of my brethren, the Hausas in Plateau, the Hausas in Jos, and the Hausas closer to where the Fulani conducted their most recent massacres against them on the 23rd and 24th of December 2023. They are saying that the Hausas should distance themselves – they should keep away from the activities of the Fulani because they (the indigenous peoples) know the truth – they know the differences between the Fulani and Hausas. And even those indigenous who don’t know are currently being educated about the differences.
The problem, they insist, is that many indigenous peoples cannot differentiate between Hausas and Fulanis during uprisings, thus on many occasions they treat these two separate entities as one. The Hausas, on the other hand, get deceived by the Fulani that it’s a religious war, thus forcing the Hausas to join on the side of the Fulani.
The letter is deeply insightful and far-reaching; it touches me deeply based on the good things these indigenous peoples of Plateau wrote about the Hausas. It is clear that the Fulani are the menace of this country.
