The Sokoto Caliphate has its relevance not least in determining the endless endemic violence in Nigeria taking the shape it does:
The Sokoto Caliphate itself is the root of the civil war in modern Nigeria in one sense, as it was the largest unit in what's now Northern Nigeria that left the direct impact on that cultural gap between the Muslim north and the largely non-Muslim south. Forged in the Fulani Jihad, it remained one of the most warlike states in a region whose neighbors included the other mirror warlike state, the Kingdom of Dahomey.
It was able to hold itself together for a better part of a century and its fall will be returned to when this reaches the Scramble. That very legacy of a centralized Islamic state led by the Fula and the Hausa, who had an equally typical of the Islamic world merger of ruler and ruled across ethnic lines because ethnic groups are not essentialist, and they never are, and never will be, is why I also ungenerously but accurately define the endemic wars in Nigeria as a temper tantrum by Muslims who refuse to accept that the union of regions with distinct histories was not a blueprint for massed forced conversion and the efforts of non-Muslims to resist it.
#lightdancer comments on history#black history month#west african history#military history#sokoto caliphate#nigeria#the big civil wars in nigeria are the ultimate proof that by oil alone is not the guiding force of modern politics#neither is a knee-jerk reaction to nihilistic violence by Islamic imperialists#because if it were true this decades-long petulant temper tantrum over the existence of non-muslims#would have touched off an equally continuous major European and US presence that does not exist

Nigeria: 160 killed in series of attacks
Local officials said on Monday that armed groups have killed at least 160 people in central Nigeria in a series of attacks on villages, The Guardian reports.
The death toll was up sharply from an initial figure released Sunday night, with just 16 people killed in a region that has been plagued by religious and ethnic tensions for years. Monday Kassah, head of the local government in Bokkos, Plateau State, told AFP:
As many as 113 persons have been confirmed killed as Saturday hostilities persisted to early hours of Monday.
Armed groups, locally called “bandits”, launched “well-coordinated” attacks in “not fewer than 20 different communities” and torched houses, Kassah said. He added:
We found more than 300 wounded people who were transferred to hospitals in Bokkos, Jos and Barkin Ladi.
The local Red Cross office says 104 people have been killed in 18 villages in the Bokkos region. State MP Dickson Chollom said at least 50 people were also killed in several villages in the Barkin Ladi area. He condemned the attacks and called for swift action by security forces.

China 🇨🇳 Selling Defective Military Equipment To African Nations
youtube
China 🇨🇳 has sold faulty military equipment to Nigeria 🇳🇬, Ethiopia 🇪🇹, Djibouti 🇩🇯, Central African Republic 🇨🇫 (along with other nations from Asia).
I am not aware of any refunds or repairs (at no expense to the buyer), but African nations would be wise to either develop their own weapons or (if possible) purchase weapons from advanced western nations.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 seems to be doing the latter.
The U.S. government has announced that it has approved the sale of attack aircraft and other equipments to Nigeria. The aircraft are expected to to be used against terrorists and other gunmen operating in the West African country.
According to a statement Thursday by the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the equipments are to cost Nigeria about $997 million.
The acquisition of the aircraft and other equipments comes less than a year after the U.S. government supplied the country with 12 units of super tucano aircrafts paid for by Nigeria. (Premium Times)
It would be wise for African nations to develop their own weapons for security reasons, but if China 🇨🇳 continues to sell defective equipment then the African nations should send a bill back to China 🇨🇳 or launch a diplomatic protest about the goods purchased.

The University of Cambridge will return more than 100 looted Benin bronzes to Nigeria.
The artefacts, which are mainly made of brass but also include some ivory and wooden objects, were taken by British armed forces during the sacking of Benin City in 1897.
A university spokesperson said: “The Charity Commission has considered and approved the return of 116 historical objects, often referred to as the Benin bronzes, from the University of Cambridge’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology to the National Commission of Museums and Monuments (NCMM) of Nigeria.
“The university is now working with the commission to finalise next steps regarding these Benin bronzes, and we will communicate these in due course.”
She added that some artefacts would remain in Cambridge “on extended loan” to ensure “this west African civilisation continues to be represented in the museum’s displays, and in teaching for school groups”.
She explained: “Those that return physically will be transferred to the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, as is required legally by the Republic of Nigeria, and an approach formally supported by the Oba of Benin.”
In the 1897 attack, the British burned the city’s palace and exiled Benin’s Oba, or king.
Thousands of brasses and other works – known collectively as the “Benin bronzes” – were taken and later sold off in London to recoup the cost of the military mission.
The artefacts ended up being scattered around the world in museums in the UK, Europe and the US, with claims for their restitution dating back to the mid-20th century.
The announcement by Cambridge comes as institutions and museums come under mounting pressure to return looted artefacts. In July, Germany handed back two bronzes and put more than 1,000 other items from its museums’ collections into Nigeria’s ownership.
A few months later in October, the culture minister of Nigeria, Lai Mohammed, urged the British Museum to follow the example of the Smithsonian Institution, which returned ownership of 29 Benin bronzes to Nigeria.
It followed a formal request last year by Mohammed’s ministry for the return of Benin artefacts from the British Museum. Referring to their return he said: “It’s not if, it’s when.”
He added: “They will eventually have to return these because the campaign is gaining strength by the day and, when they look at what other museums are doing, they will be compelled to return them.”
Last month, the Horniman Museum, in south London, returned looted Benin bronzes to Nigeria. This followed Jesus College, the University of Cambridge, which returned a bronze to Nigeria in October 2021.
The University of Aberdeen also handed back a bronze, depicting the head of an Oba, at a ceremony held in October last year.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the chair of the British Museum, George Osborne, had held talks with the Greek prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, regarding the possible return of the Parthenon marbles.
However, Downing Street has said there were no plans to change the law that prevents the British Museum from handing the Parthenon marbles back to Greece.
