摘要:Pulaako, to put it mildly is the philosophy or innate values that lie at the bottom of the Fulani way of life. If the Fulani racial group has a cardinal principle governing their existence in life, then pulaako is indeed that principle. It is an in-born, almost internalized value system which is part and parcel of the Fulani social existence. A Fulbe bereft of Pulaako, is no different from KADO (a total non-fulani, almost antithetical to anything Fulbe). It is in the light of this that the paper seeks to explain the seven principles, underlying the philosophy of Pulaako, especially as entrenched in the living culture of the average Fulani community. The belief, indeed adherence to the ethics of Pulaako by the average Fulani is largely what determines the “fulbeness,” the true personality of the average Fulani individual, be that male or female, rich or poor; of high or low birth.
