I was in Kano sometime ago and observed that the average Hausa person is easy going, but don't take it for granted as that gentleness can become volatile in a moment. And that's mostly because they have a strong sense of communalism and will collectively rise against anyone they think attacks values/culture they generally share in common. These include their general religion, their emir and their political leader. More like a herd mentality (and I do not mean this in a negative or condescending way). Even outside their region, they see themselves as one and distinctively different from others. For example, in Lagos where Igbos, Ijaws, Efiks, Ibibios, Urhobos, Tivs and other tribes can live in the same community with Yorubas, Hausa hardly mingle with others. If they're not living in barracks (cos the breadwinner is in the military or paramilitary), they're living in a Hausa quarters commonly called Sabo in Lagos (E.g. Sabo Ikorodu, Sabo Yaba, Sabo Agege). They don't even mix much with some Yorubas that share religion with them. Instead, they have their own Hausa mosque in Lagos and only Hausas gather from all the vicinities in the area come there to worship. Politicians in their religion often exploit these cultural nuances to their advantage and that's why they easily dominate national politics in Nigeria 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Good point! Hausas are very accommodating. that's how the Fulani's took advantage of their kindheartedness to dominate them, subjugate them and drive them out of their lands. I like the Hausas .... I don't know about the Fulanis tho. O pari ChinagoChiBoy: 2 Likes |

Your observation is right! The Hausa-Fulani muslims don't even consider Yoruba muslims as real muslims. That's why I laugh each time I see some of those braindead Afonjas thinking that the Fulani herdsmen are only going to attack Ndi Igbo when they start their full scale invasion. Take it from someone who knows, if that time comes, they would try to exterminate the Yorubas first before turning on Ndi Igbo. O pari WritePal: 3 Likes |

WritePal: Their herd mentality is what we yoruba muslims call 'sophisticated politics'. Our leader Tinubu has identified that education is a problem that will impede herd mentality, so he has ensured that education and literacy is destroyed in yorubaland especially Osun and Oyo so that our people can becomes zombies (the herd mentality you talked about) and he is succeding as our yoruba states are now doing very poorly in WAEC and JAMB than Borno and yobe. This is the sacrifice we have to make so our yoruba leaders and their children can be 'politically powerful' and 'sophisticated' while the common yoruba man become almajiri lesser than hausas in nigeria. 2 Likes 1 Share |

you forgot to mention that they are good at welcoming and harbouring anyone from Niger , Chad into the country as long as the person can speak hausa, and if you do not understand hausa and you speak english to them as a stranger, they will say Ba Turenshi! and ignore you, you didnt also mention that 3brothers can use one certificate to secure FG job using the same name , oh , hausa man can load tomatoes on fuel tankers from north to lagos and Road safety officers will not see him but carry a pipe on your bus you will be arrested Nigeria Army unused land belong to Hausa speaking people and they can build whatever they want there, selling weed and metal scraps , if you are doubting me, go to lafenwa in abeokuta , they even have military boys on uniform staying with them, fact even as i speak now also when you have a baby , either you are 12years old or less, you are qualified to have a voter card and vote also, as a hausa man, it is proper for you to move around with dagger but for any other tribe, its à crime. lol 5 Likes

Hausa is one of minority tribe in Nigeria in terms of population but the 'Hausa language' is being concurring and dominating many other languages across west Africa. Fulani are the most populous tribe in Nigeria, and they are speaking Hausa as their official language. 1 Like 1 Share |
