	Fula - LoveToKnow 1911
		Fula are settled in Bornu, Bagirmi, Wadai and the upper Nile Valley,' but have no political power in those countries.
		The question of the ethnic affinities of the Fula has given rise to an enormous amount of speculation, but the most reasonable theory is that they are a mixture of Berber and Negro.
		Tradition says that of old every Fula boy and girl was a scholar; but during the decadence of their power towards the close of the 19th century education was not highly valued.

		Fulanis, nomadic people, when they are in the land with their cows, they use it just to keep the time going, because it's a long day from early in morning to 5:00, you stay alone with cows.

		Originally a nomadic, cattle-herding people, the Fula have settled widely in the Sahel during the last five hundred years.
		Perhaps due to the marginal nature of the land they occupy it has long been a tradition of the Fula that young men and boys leave the villages soon after the harvest in November and support themselves elsewhere until they are needed for the next farming season.
