Most of the time, we mix Hausas and Fulanis together as though they are one and the same. Although, they share similarities in culture and religion, they have basic differences. Please can someone enlighten me as to the basic differences between the two tribes as well as examples of notable Nigerian Hausas. Thanks.

hmm

Fulani's are cattle rearers while Hausa's are trouble shooters. But the similarity is that both are muderers, terrorists

In the north there are other tribes order than Hausa and Fulanis but the duo overpowered, subjugated and relegated other tribes. For instance, in Niger state, we have: Nupe, Gbagi/Gwari, Kadara, Koro, Kakanda, Baruba/Boko-Baru, Kumi etc before the Hausas n Fulanis came. But now the Nupes hardly have a say where the Hausas are deciding matters.

Why? This is because Hausas use the policy of "Assimilation". In Minna, the Capital of Niger state, Hausa is the official language. People learn Hausa, speak the language and get acculturated. I use Niger as an example to explain to you that Hausa/Fulani are not the only people in the north.

Now to the matter, Hausas have fourteen tribes, seven legitimate and seven illegitimate (Banza bokwai). They used to be predominantly farmers - groundnut, beans, onions, rice, carrot n millet. They also, sell marchandice like Horses, carmel, donkeys, gold and honey. This show their early exposure to the Arab world.

The Fulanis on the other hand, are cattle rearers. They are of two types: Bororo and Hausaje. The Hausajes build houses near towns and villages and inter-marry while the Bororos are deadly normad. They don't stay and have penchant for crime. They graze on people's farm are run away.

However, Fulanis and Hausas are now educated and what do you expect when people see what they never imagined? Bad occurence





We voted one Fulani man to help us find the missing Chibok girls, he also went missing

Thanks. I am well aware that there are other tribes/ethnic groups in the north of Nigeria. You made mention of what the Hausas were known for. What about now? Apart from Hausa language which is like the lingua franca in the north, how else can one identify the Hausa as distinct from the Fulani? You also did not give me any examples of notable Hausa men or women. Please I really need more enlightenment. Thanks.

cultural differences :

Hausawa: my Tribe

hausawa are homogeneous, have many different way of life with Fulani and don't share any cultural similarities but share thesame Islamic cultural. tho the Fulani in cities have adopted to hausa culture and language one can simply differentiate them. Hausa are Farmers and engaged in many different jobs (skills jobs) while must Fulanis are cow/sheeps rearers. hausa rear those animals too .the difference is the Fulanis are Nomads they run from place to place to rear their Animals.







Pupulation: Hausa





Real HAUSA: about 40million native Hausa mostly from Nigeria and Niger Republic. the Hausas come only from Nigeria and Niger Republic. they are the real Hausawa.



Diluted/Mixed Hausa: 20million



This are the Hausawa scattered in Chad, Cameroon, Togo, Ghana,sudan etc. They are descendent of Hausa from Nigeria and Niger Republic. who after leaving their original homes, settles with other Africans and they are now sees as hausas. And yes they are. just that they are not living in their original homes.


FULANI: around 20million



Religion:HAUSA/FULANI

HAUSA: 99% of Hausa are Muslims the remaining 2% are either pagans or Christians


FULANI: Fulani in Nigeria are 90% Muslims, the 10% goes to Pegans and Christianity .




location : Hausa



Nigeria, Niger Republic, Ghana, Mali, Togo, Cameroon,sudan ,Eritrea, Saudi Arabia

Everywhere you can find hausawa then their are Fulanis either living among them or so close to them.
But Hausa are cannot be found all places where Fulanis are.




Physical Features :

Hausawa: Hausa have typical look of Chadic people/chadic different groups.

(1)Giants :Hausa are Extremely strong Giants. Every about them is massive, from their foots prints to their Giants Mit .hausa are just huge. take a look at old late hausa leaders.

(2) bigs/smale slant eyes, Body . straight and Hooters Noses,

(3) Hausa are Dark in complexion. Hausa are very dark people like must of the chadic in Sahel. The lighter a real Hausa not mixed can be is Chocolate.



FULANI: most of Fulanis are Tall but not giants, Fulani are known to be very Slim and Lanky. they can hardly have a fattish body even if they want to. only 10% of Fulani can grow fat.

Complexion: majority Fulanis a Red in colour. then cream clour Fulani then black. let me put it into percentage.

50% Red ,40 black, 10% light cream

Structure: majority are tall, With Little wive hair or straight

hair. Typical Fulani dnt have Kinky hair like ours Hausa. and

they got a very lanky body, Long jaw, some with Broad

Forqp\eheads like that of Ethiopians. The least percentage of

Fulani look mixed African American. the reaming

percentage just look like those in Far-east west Africans

mixed with Berbers/Buzaye



Let me clear one thing. I and All my Extended Family are combination both Hausa and Fulani . My parents, their parents are mixed Hausa/Fulani. Tho, I consider myself a (Bahaushe) a Hausa. I will not allowed anyone to disrespect any of this group. Even that person comes from Them. tau, Kapin wasu Yan iska su zagan.

Picking the disparity between the emancipated Hausas and the exposed Fulanis is a daunting task because of acculturation and assimilation. Many northerners now wear Baban riga, Dan dogo with cap, speak Hausa and marry more than one wife. In fact, many Yoruba muslims do just that.

However, Fulanis rear cows in large quantity and in most cases value the life of cows than humans'. Many educated Fulanis still rear cows, a good example is our sick president, he still rears cows in his hometown. Hausas on the other hand, are farmers; even till today. They plant onions that we all eat and beans.


Hausa and Fulani are now fused into one, Hausa/Fulani. It's like trying to tell the difference between Deltans and Igbos. They are one at the superficial level. Education has changed everything. There are notable Hausa people like: Jelani Aliyu that designed GM’s First Electric Car, Manman Kontagora, Aminu Tambwa as well as Fulani people like Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Muhammadu Buhari, Faruq Lawal - the rep that hid dolla in his cap etc.

In a layman language, you need to move closer and ask. Get the answer from the horse's mouth

Thanks a lot. I do not subscribe to any form of insult or disrespect to anybody. Your closing remarks concur with the general view that the Hausawa and the Fulanis are sometimes mixed. But one thing is still missing in your write-up. I was expecting you to give me examples of notable Nigerian Hausa men and women living or dead. Still waiting. Thanks for the info.

Thanks a lot. But your analogy with Deltans and Igbos is way off the mark - Delta is a State in Nigeria while Igbo is an ethnic group in Nigeria that spreads across the South-East and parts of Rivers and Delta States. But your intention was well understood. Thanks a lot.

OK. Waiting to read their comments.

At the base level,there's really no similarity between the Hausa and Fulani. The only reason why you may mistake one for the other is because their history at a point got intertwined and they kinda adopted each other's culture.

UnchangeableGod:
Most of the time, we mix Hausas and Fulanis together as though they are one and the same. Although, they share similarities in culture and religion, they have basic differences.

:DAhmadu Bello is a pullo, fodios direct descendant.

Just because his father was grandson of Dan FodiO That does not make him a FULANI. To be a Fulani you have to look like a one.

Anybody with Knowledge of whom Hausa or Fulani are ,will aggured Sir Ahmadu Bello is not a Fulani. (He might have little Fulani blood in him) But, But you can't ignore the fact that his Looks, Body structure is not of Fulani but of Hausa.


Like my Paternal and maternal grandmothers are pure Fulani descent and my merternal grandfather is a mixture of both (Hausa/Fulani). My Father happens to took after his father (who I will say he is a among the rear pure Hausawa) . Tho, in my family sometimes we jokingly point out who is more Hausa and who is more a Fulani. Honestly we all think of ourselves as Hausa

We speak hausa, leave with hausa ,share abode,Religion and culture with hausa. And some of my Kins will be pissed off if you were to call them none hausa. And that natural

Pure Hausa are very rear.Their intermarriage does not start with Fulani nor had it ever been Monopoly to any tribe lol(Allow me to use that word) .If hausa falls in love with you and you get married to him/her . You ,your Feature Children will probably gave up your Religion, Culture and most importantly your language to Hausa.


My argument is that you cannot call someone with typical hausa look a Fulani or call someone with typical Fulani look a Hausa. It's will be ridiculous for a Black Person with black mother and White Britsh father to call himself a whiteman



Sir Ahmadu Bello is more of a Hausa than he is a Fulani. His culture,His language, His looks/ structures all indicated that.

Present day Hausa is more of a language than it is an ethic.when I was 15 thought of my Zabarmawa childhood friends as Hausa only lately I found out they are not. In west northern state it's not a big deal if you are Hausawa, Fulani, zabarmawa as long you speak hausa it's every Hausa and none hausa Will looks you as Hausa(to some extant) Sai in gardama ta tashi a tunama Kai Ba Hausa bane.
