The Fulani are a vast people originating in West Africa, renowned as nomadic herders, scholars, and empire-builders. They migrated eastward over centuries, spreading Islam. In the 1800s, a Fulani scholar, Usman dan Fodio, led a jihad that created the massive Sokoto Caliphate in what is now Nigeria. This is key: The elegant robes and turbans often called "Hausa attire" were actually adopted from the Fulani. The Sokoto Empire made traditional Fulani dress the official style of the royal court and leadership. Over time, it became a widespread cultural symbol for the entire region. This attire is a mark of Fulani royal and scholarly heritage. #FulaniRoyalHeritage #AmazingFulbeh #DiscoverFulani #Fulani #SokotoCaliphate #FulaniHistory #Nigeria #WestAfrica #History
