The Hausa ethnic group is one of the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria and is
one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa. The bulk of the Hausa people are based
in northern Nigeria, though there are a few in parts of Southern Nigeria.


The Hausas are largely pastoral and ‘agrocentric’; this is why they are the largest
suppliers of food to the nation. Over time, some funny misconceptions have been
formed about the Hausa people and Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency,
shares 6 of them.


Every one from the North is Hausa

This is like saying everyone from the South is Yoruba. There are other ethnic
groups in the North apart from the Hausa, though the Hausas are one of the
predominant ethnic groups. Aside the Hausa ethnic group, the Fulani ethnic group
also reside in the North along with some other smaller ethnic groups.


All Hausas are Muslims

Most Hausa people are muslims, but not all of them are. There are some Hausa
christians residing right there in the North, with some of them as pastors leading
congregations of other Hausa christians.


Hausas are violent

The religious fanatics amongst them are the heartless and violent ones, not the
actual people of the tribe. The Hausa people are actually a friendly, warm and
accommodating people. If you’re doubtful, as anyone who’s lived in their towns
and let them tell you about just how nice to strangers they can be.



They are not money conscious

This is funny because there is hardly a human being alive who isn’t money
conscious. What you can say about Hausas is that it typically doesn’t take them
having a lot of money to be content; they tend to be content with whatever money
they are able to make. This doesn’t mean there are not money conscious, it just
means they have a modest financial culture.



They can Never cheat anyone

Cheating or not cheating a person is not dependent on ethnic group, it is
dependent on a person’s character and personality. There are some Hausas that
cheat people during business transactions, but that is because they are human
beings, it has little or nothing to do with their ethnic group.



Hausa people are dull

It is important to not underestimate the fact that the richest man in Africa is an
Hausa man. A lot of people say Hausa people are dull, that they behave like cows
and that is why it is easy to manipulate them into religious fanaticism, but you will
be surprised at just how smart a Hausa man or woman can be. Being smart does
not depend on your ethnic group, it depends on the individual.
