Fulani cultural attire

Kautal Hore (UNITY), a Fulani socio-cultural group, says it would establish a football association for nomadic children in Jigawa State.

The State Chairman of the association, Alhaji Umar Dubantu, disclosed this in an interview with newsmen in Dutse on Monday.

According to him, the establishment of the association for the nomads will motivate and encourage the youth among them to actively partake in sporting activities.

“There are many talented Fulani players in the state and these children are not only good at playing football but other sports. However, no attempt is being made to discover them,” the chairman said.

“For instance, there one is 14-year-old Fulani boy that is very good at lifting heavy things, in fact, he can lift heavy things that are unexpected for him at his age.

“So this boy, and many others, can be discovered and groomed as our future weightlifters.

“Therefore, this is what we plan to do, in order to discover and bring out such talented Fulani boys to the world so that they will be our shining stars and future champions in years to come,” the chairman said.

He further pointed out that the gesture would socially lead to the inclusion of the Fulani youth in all aspects of life, like their counterparts across the country.

The Sokoto Caliphate was under the overall authority of the Commander of the Faithful. Under Dan Fodio, the Empire was bicephalous and divided into two territories each controlled by an appointed vizier. Each of the territories was further divided into autonomous Emirates under mainly hereditary local Emirs. The Bornu Empire was initially absorbed into the Sokoto Caliphate of Usman dan Fodio, but broke away after a few years later. The caliphate arose after the Hausa KingYunfa attempted to assassinate Usman dan Fodio in 1802. In order to escape persecution, Usman and his followers migrated towards Gudu in February 1804. Usman's followers pledged allegiance...

NATURE OF LEARNING

  Learning occupies a very important place in our life. Most of what we do or do not is influenced by what we learn and how we learn. Learning, therefore, provides a key to the structure of our personality and behavior. An individual starts learning immediately after his birth or in a strict sense even earlier in the womb of the mother.   Experience direct or indirect is found to play a dominant role in moulding and shaping the behavior of the individual from the very beginning.

When this happens we say that the child has learned that if one touches a flame, one gets burnt.  However, this term has not always been interpreted in the Same way by the numerous thinkers and psychologists as may be seen from the following definitions: Gardner...
