RagnarLodbrok: You are the one who is drunk for making stupid statements pulled out of your butt.... What is the population of Hausas in Nigeria, Mr Hausa? Hausas are basically 85-90% of the North West, plus some others in Gombe and Bauchi..... Don't come here to tell us Rubbish, you are not talking to primary 2 kids. |
Re: Three Nigerian Languages Make Up Top 10 Most Popular Languages In All Of Africa by Nobody: 3:04pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
scholes0: Lol! There are over 30 million hausas in Nigeria alone dumbo! Fulas number about 20 million. The remaining countries with Fula population have a relatively low population, the total number of fulas is 40million at most! If you disagree with this, please, tell me the total population of fulas, using every country. Hausas are the largest ethnicity, and have the highest number of first language speakers in west Africa, Possibly africa dweeb! It seems I am speaking to a primary 2 kid indeed! |
Re: Three Nigerian Languages Make Up Top 10 Most Popular Languages In All Of Africa by scholes0(m): 3:21pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
RagnarLodbrok: Fulanis number around 20 Million.... lol I just knew you were indeed dumb, immediately I saw that part...... Fulanis number around 45 million. Hausas are mostly Nigeria and Niger lets say Nigeria 33 Million Niger- 9.4 Million. That is a total of around 41 Million population of Hausas anywhere else apart from these two countries in only speculative. Like I mentioned before, hausa has the highest number of first language speakers in WA....so stop mentioning silly facts to me.... we are already over that. |

scholes0: You are an an assorted foool! How many fulas do we have in Nigeria then? Btw, hausas number more than 13million in Niger, there's a good number in Cameroon Sudan and some west African countries, please, what is the total number of the fulas? Dweeb! I reiterate, every one including the anthropologists and what not know hausa is the largest ethnicity in west Africa! They also have the highest number of first language speakers! Clueless dweeb. I'm still waiting for your statistics on the fulas! |

RagnarLodbrok: 11% of 178 Million.... beg someone to do the math for you, if you are too stewpid to do it yourself. RagnarLodbrok: Hausas are only 52.2% of Niger... And that is generous....lol, look at this guy oo.... Multiply 17.8 million population of Niger by 0.52, genius. RagnarLodbrok:What else do you want to see?..... Are you blind or something? lmao |
Re: Three Nigerian Languages Make Up Top 10 Most Popular Languages In All Of Africa by Nobody: 4:07pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
scholes0:Is it not about 20 million? Re.tard! Hausas are only 52.2% of Niger... And that is generous....lol, look at this guy oo....You know when you brought your botched outdated figure on hausas in Nigeria, I kept shut. Didn't want to start a tribal war.. But hausas are more than 52% Of Niger dumbo! And why are you using an outdated estimate? Loool! What else do you want to see?..... Are you blind or something?I want you to admit you spoke as a charlatan when you said fulas outnumber hausas. But if you want me to continue handing your a*s over to you, continue with your argument, only this time atleast bring proof or facts. It seems you've lost the plot dweeb! Try again! But I will admit you've stayed away from your dimwitted earlier claims. |
Re: Three Nigerian Languages Make Up Top 10 Most Popular Languages In All Of Africa by scholes0(m): 4:16pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
RagnarLodbrok: Sure.... go on and eat the population.... I guess that is the only thing you can lay claim to, since there are no other life achievements in this modern era, that your people are especially known for.... keep multiplying like mice, none of my business- just dont send the extra load to my part of the country to flood it with beggars. I am neither Hausa nor Fulani..... so yaay, you win! |
Re: Three Nigerian Languages Make Up Top 10 Most Popular Languages In All Of Africa by Nobody: 4:38pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
scholes0: Lol! Of course you're not, none of my Fula or hausa brothers is as ignorant as you are. In the old days, when progress was not affected by the west, there were none mightier people than we, it's a fact. We were financially, culturally, architecturally, administratively and artistically superior to everyone in west Africa, possibly Africa, no one has a richer history than we. And btw, we will keep multiplying. You think your stu.pid deluded argument that you've achieved more than us actually matters, what have you achieved that we haven't if I may ask? You know there are these two sayings in hausa, I leave you with them "Sarkin yawa yafi Sarkin Karfi" "Kuna mana kallon biri, muna muku kallon ayaba" |

RagnarLodbrok: False information there are 10-11 million alone in Nigeria that can, 3-4 million in Cameroon (all in the same Adamawa, Gombe and Taraba regions). Then in Mali, another 5 million speak the language, in Niger and Benin republic about 4 million speak the language. In Guinea, about 7.5 million speak it, in Senegal with Mauritania about another 7.5 million again. All in all we total about 30 million speakers all across west Africa. The language is vastly spoken. |

OlaoChi: If you go to Cameroon many Non-Ful6e speak the language fluently. I can link many videos as an example. |

Re: Three Nigerian Languages Make Up Top 10 Most Popular Languages In All Of Africa by Fulaman198(m): 6:26pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
kaura5000: I agree because many speak Hausa as a second language like myself after Fulfulde. Hausa speakers (that speak it fluently) number about 50 million. Because many groups speak it fluently as a second language (the Fulani, The Zarma, the Kanuri, the Toubou, the Tuareg, etc.) Fulfulde/Pulaar/Pular speakers number about 32 million if you add all the Fulani speakers from Senegal to Sudan. |
Re: Three Nigerian Languages Make Up Top 10 Most Popular Languages In All Of Africa by Fulaman198(m): 6:28pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
RagnarLodbrok: Thanks, there are less Fulfulde speakers than Hausa speakers though |
Re: Three Nigerian Languages Make Up Top 10 Most Popular Languages In All Of Africa by Nobody: 6:31pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
Fulaman198: Yeah I know. The question is do you believe ethnic fula out number ethnic hausa? |
Re: Three Nigerian Languages Make Up Top 10 Most Popular Languages In All Of Africa by Fulaman198(m): 6:57pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
RagnarLodbrok: Nigeria is a mixed bag. Pure ethnic Fulani in my opinion are only found in Adamawa, Gombe and Taraba states. Thus, I don't think Ethnic Fulani outnumber Ethnic Hausa. The Hausa-Fulani are neither Ethnic Fula or ethnic Hausa. Thus, there are more ethnic Hausa in Nigeria. However, there are more ethnic Fulani from all countries combined. Keep in mind that about 50% of Hausa speakers that speak the language fluently are Full-blooded ethnic Hausa and the other 50% are either of another ethnic group or mixed (Hausa-Fulani). You are just Hausa for example right? I'm just Pullo (Fulani). |

CertifiedFreak:I was having same thoughts as well. I'd love to know if there is any other African country with igbo speaking natives. I refuse to believe their population in Nigeria gained the language a position on the list. Please no tribalism or offense intended |

Re: Three Nigerian Languages Make Up Top 10 Most Popular Languages In All Of Africa by scholes0(m): 11:33am On Jul 14, 2015 |
softvio: So Watching the Zulu movie means Europeans represent all of Africa with it? And why would they use Xhosa, when the movie is about Shaka Zulu? Mr Bones is a South African movie, not American. 1 Like |
