Jihad Fulani is a movement of the beginning of the 19th century in Africa under the banner of Islam, during which the Fulani army was formed and the territories of Northern Nigeria and Cameroon were conquered. The beginning of the movement was laid by Osman Dan Fodio . In 1804, he opposed the ruler of Gobir, uniting the house peasants and the Fulbe nomads.
In 1809, as a result of wars with the city-states of the house, he managed to create the Sokoto Sultanate, which lasted until the arrival of the British colonialists and was included in the protectorate of Nigeria .
