watin concern Mallam Bahushe with hustling, margarine no be dog food To the average hausa man the world start and end in the north. They are so blinded by their ignorance that they believe God is an hausa man. Their blind arrogance is reflected in the plate number of Sokoto state, " the right to rule". |

bilymuse: People that used the Tivs, Nupes, and Yorubas to win the civil war, succeeded in changing the natural demographics of Nigeria by manipulating the census, forcing many southerners into self imposed economic/political exile; and you still think they are blinded by ignorance? Think again, maybe its you and me(southerners) who are ignorant and stupid. 1 Like |

bilymuse: You're absolutely right no hausa man would go hustle abroad not because 'margarine no be dog food' but because our 'monkey dey work their baboon they chop'. They do go abroad and you need to see the way their young men spend while there. I had come accross two in a high brow shop in London once and they had this huge pile of travellers cheques(which would not be less than ten thousand pounds). They wanted to pay and could not decipher which is which. I had to come in when I realised they had Nigerian passports, took the whole lot from them(they did not even think twice before handing it to me), counted out their bill which ran into thousands, paid the cashier and hand them the remaining. |

coolier: You are pardoned for now and until 26th April 2011. From 27th April 2011, we are going to be taking no hostages, we will shoot all corrupt guys and their collaborators down. Survivors will be shot again. FYI: When i said shoot, i meant the use of JUSTICE, LAW and ORDER to get the country back on track. |

Oh my God! Thinking about it, these guys dont export anything not even groundnut. They dont work in foreing lands. I get the feelings that they contribute 0% of Nigerian's Forex Income. And am quite sure there contribution to Natonal Income is also around the neighbourhood of zero. Incredible. Pure classic case of Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop. |

Re: Have You Ever Seen Or Heard Of A Hausa/Fulani 'hustling' Abroad? by debosky(m): 5:16pm On Sep 06, 2008 |
Other things get exported as well - Dates, Ginger, Sesame Seeds and other farm produce. Of what inherent benefit has all the 'hustling abroad' been to southerners? Ok you have relations abroad you can stay with, you are more 'exposed'. But has that solved our problems? No I'd rather be a content farmer with 2 cows and a reasonably peaceful existence than some guy queuing up at embassies all day trying to go out to 'hustle'. I guess in the end, its all a matter of perspective and personal aspiration. Hustling abroad may be a thing of pride to you, but maybe not to them. |
Re: Have You Ever Seen Or Heard Of A Hausa/Fulani 'hustling' Abroad? by Jairzinho(m): 6:14pm On Sep 06, 2008 |
The posters right. They won't hustle abroad becos the current nigerian system's very favorable to them. Without making cut-off mark in JAMB,u get admission,graduate with a pass ,join immigration or customs,make money from kickbacks,'kwantracts' etc ,become CG in record time due to quota,all the while influencing recruitment & strategic postings. Go into politics with all the ill-gotten wealth,gain infinite access to state allocation & further influence govt policy,start plucking all the yarinyas around . Na wa o ! Only the truth will set us free,my people. |

debosky: Haba Debosky. Hustling abroad-- a thing of pride? Developing high blood pressure, stomach ulcer, and depression a thing of pride You forget say na pressure make crawfish bend Like somebody said earlier southners are languising overseas not because they want to show off, but because each and every professionally qualified southern naija person in medicine, engineering, accounting, law, etc are being squeezed out of the Nigerian dream. Northern states with larger federal allocations would rather hire Egyptian doctors instead of paying half of that salary to a fellow Nigerian. When the southern doctor ends up overseas, you call it " a thing of pride" You go make me shout |

debosky:If you think hussling abroad for a better living standard have not in any way helped MAJORITY of southerners abroad which trinkled back to their families back home in nigeria (though hussling abroad was brought about by the nigeria's economic mismanagment by hausa/fulani) then you must be demented and living in lalala-land. As the tittle of the thread deeply suggested, only a hausa/fulani (are you one?) will rather be a content farmer with 2 cows which is equals to folding two arms and waiting for manner to fall from heaven than look for means which are readily available to increase his standard of living. Hausa/fulani remains Hausa/fulani. Can you read youself again? |
Re: Have You Ever Seen Or Heard Of A Hausa/Fulani 'hustling' Abroad? by naijaking1: 7:54pm On Sep 06, 2008 |
You're a big man if you have 2 cows in many parts of naija. |
Re: Have You Ever Seen Or Heard Of A Hausa/Fulani 'hustling' Abroad? by debosky(m): 7:54pm On Sep 06, 2008 |
I think you need to reread my statement, the qualifier 'inherent' was used. Of course benefits have come - the 'trickling down' as you say it from those who have hustled abroad. Beyond that, has any profound change, any long lasting change, any inherent/imbibed change occurred? That is the question I ask - are the southerners still not corrupt, lawless, cheating, murdering and tribalistic? These are the important questions to be answered. How does being content with 2 cows equal waiting for manna to fall from heaven Basic subsistence existence is what I am talking about - meeting your needs at a basic level, without any increases in wealth and the like. In my opinion, that is a higher ideal than a constant scramble for wealth with no inherent benefit except being able to spend more in the short term. What right do you think you have to demand/require that another man strive to increase his 'standard of living'? By what measures are you describing his standard of living as being below yours? What may be important to you may not be important to him, but to assume yours are better is no different from what the white men did to Africa. Whether I am hausa/fulani or not cannot be the subject of this discourse - your desire to 'improve' your standard of living is your prerogative. My ideal/desire to maintain my 'simple' or 'backward' standard of living is also my prerogative comprende? |
Re: Have You Ever Seen Or Heard Of A Hausa/Fulani 'hustling' Abroad? by QuotaSyste(m): 8:09pm On Sep 06, 2008 |
debosky:@ the bolded. You can't ask me question like basic change and still expect me to answer it to your own way of definition. For me and other southerners especially the Igbos, hussling abroad (brought about by the mismanagment of nigeria's economy by your hausa/fulani brainless people) have to an extent brought about economic change for the better to their lives. If that is not a change, i wonder what else you mean. Now tell us if the stay at home and wait for manner from heaven, lazy attitude of your hausa/fulani fellows despite connering the oil of the Niger Delta people have brought about end to corruption, lawlessness, cheating, murdering of Igbos in your northern nigeria and tribalism in your mist? These are also important questions that i need you and your hausa/fulanis to answer. |

naijaking1 People that used the Tivs, Nupes, and Yorubas to win the civil war, succeeded in changing the natural demographics of Nigeria by manipulating the census, forcing many southerners into self imposed economic/political exile; and you still think they are blinded by ignorance? Think again, maybe its you and me(southerners) who are ignorant and stupid. To say the north use other tribe to win the war shows your lack of understanding of the complex politicking that occur during the biafra war. The north has every opportunity to manipulate anything they want, they ve been in power over the years. But despite this, majority of their people are wallowing in object poverty, high infant mortality rate, drug abuse, disease, illiteracy ; compared to other part of the country. Even Saludo lament, "poverty is a northern phenomenon". Compare the Ibo's; they lost the war and where deny power. Yet they fight back to become the richest, one of the most educated and enlighten Nigeria you would ever meet. That is the natural will power of the people and absolute desire to succeed against the odd. the north is a joke, even if they rule for another 50 years, they would be worst than they are today. |

bawomolo: There's always going to be some anecdotal cases if sighting Hausa people in the US. By their number, you know they are not 'hustling' like other naija people. I met most of them in college on fully funded scholarship programs, and of course they return to take up plum positions in Nigeria immediately upon graduation. |

naijaking1: what's make ur personal experience enough to make a conclusion about hausa immigrants. on average, the ones i saw in philly didn't seem to be on fully funded scholarship programs. |
