Islam has been in Yoruba land for over 500 years, the first mosque in Oyo was built in 1550 by Shaykh Muhammad Al-Nufawi under the reign of King Ajiboyede, Iwo 1655, Iseyin 1770, Lagos 1774, Saki 1790. (Al Iluri, 1990)
Islam also introduced literacy to Yoruba land (Fafunwa,1974)
@Leelakareem Because thatโs what youโre interested in.. thatโs why you see it that way, but Danfodio himself refuted the claim, in fact it was decades after the jihad that people started aligning it with tribe.
@Leelakareem The jihad succeeded with the help of hausas and other ethnic groups, even after the jihad there was Hausas among the emirs appointed by Danfodio.. gets your facts right.
@Leelakareem There was nothing like a โFulani invasionโ Danfodio's jihad included various tribes, including the Hausas, but it was purely religious, with no tribal elements.
Hausa were Muslims practising mixed religion with idol worshipping, thatโs what Danfodio, reformed.
