Negropean Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, descendant of Senegalese Islamic Invader Of Hausaland Usman dan Fodio was an anti Nigeria dude, known for his venomous tribalism and his now forgotten advocacy for Arab, Islamic interests/ strong Euro-centrism

 



Ahmadu Bello (1910–1966), the Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region of Nigeria during the British colonial era, was known for his strong advocacy for Northern Nigerian and Islamic interests. One of his controversial statements often attributed to him is his stance on employing white people during British rule.

Ahmadu Bello expressed a preference for employing Europeans over Nigerians in many contexts. This reflected his concerns about maintaining the socio-political and economic dominance of the North, the North had been less exposed to Western education due to its strong resistance and passionate Islamic traditions, while the South embraced mission schools and Western-style education during British rule.

Ahmadu Bello’s preference for Arabs and Europeans came from:

Distrust of Southern Nigerians:
Bello and many Northern leaders feared the dominance of Southern Nigerians, particularly the Igbo and Yoruba, in civil service roles. The South had more Western-educated individuals, which posed a challenge to Northern control in a united Nigeria.

Colonial Relationships:
The British colonial administration's policy of indirect rule allowed Northern leaders to retain significant autonomy. Employing Europeans was seen as a way to avoid Southern infiltration into Northern affairs.

Development:
The North was underdeveloped compared to the South. By employing Europeans, Ahmadu Bello believed the region could maintain its traditional structures and develop at its own pace without external competition.

Implications

  • Regional Tensions: His statements exacerbated ethnic and regional tensions between the North and South, which continue in Nigeria's political landscape as you read.


Usman dan Fodio was born on December 15, 1754, in the village of Maratta, located in the Hausa city-state of Gobir, which is in present-day northwestern Nigeria. He was a descendant of the Torodbe Fulani clan, whose ancestors had migrated from Futa Toro in present-day Senegal to Hausaland around the 15th century. His father, Muhammad Fodiye, was a respected Islamic scholar, and his mother, Hauwa, was also from a lineage of scholars. Usman dan Fodio's early life was deeply rooted in Islamic education, and he became a prominent scholar, preacher, and reformer, eventually founding the Sokoto Caliphate in the early 19th century.
