| | Last has rightly observed that "the Sokoto Caliphate was not properly speaking an empire, since its unity depended not so much on force, as on religious obedience the emirs or provincial governors owed the Commander of the faithful or Caliph at Sokoto " (Crowder 1978: 173 emphasis mine). | | | Awoniyi and others are free to hate the Fulani but the simple fact is that they will never succeed and their fate will be like the one of those before them, the extremists missionaries who never preached love as enjoined by Jesus Christ but hate. | | | Awoniyi is fuming that the Fulani are oppressing the Hausas. |
