Nairaland 2012 Ethnic Census by odumchi: 12:38am On Jan 08, 2012
This is a simple attempt to represent all the ethnicities present on Nairaland. If you guys remember, last year's ethnic census was a success. Over 400 people voted and many ethnicities were represented. In this year's census, I've tried my best to include as many ethnicities as possible.

To vote, please click on your ethnicity. Again, I apologize if your ethnicity isn't represented. cool cool

Below is a summary of last year's census.

You can Pick one of the two that you're most comfortable with.

@Jarus
Is that an ethnicity or did you mean Yoruba? grin

I think I'll just stick to the 'other' category. I can't pick one over the other when both are a part of my existence.

@ Inked nerd

Ok, whatever fits you.



@Pagan

Have you voted?
Re: Nairaland 2012 Ethnic Census by PAGAN9JA(m): 10:00pm On Jan 09, 2012
no. we are not include in the list. i would have voted as Hausa but these days, Hausa = muslim, so i no vote.
Re: Nairaland 2012 Ethnic Census by odumchi: 10:18pm On Jan 09, 2012
Maguwazawa is an Hausa clan so why not vote? Besides not all Hausas are Muslim. There are Christian Hausas and animist Hausas like you.

The point of this poll is to try to determine an accurate record of which populations are present on Nairaland. You not voting isn't going to help. Besides this is an ethnic poll not a religious one.

Sir Odumchi, you have got a point. but i am also[b] not able to vote[/b], i swear by Gods. i think voting is closed because there is just no option to vote! it only is giving results.

either that or there some error. sad

yes sure. we are a Pagan religion and follow Maguzaanchi. We have many Gods like Bagiro, Wazri, Saarkin Anwa, AIlo, Baba Mazay, Ubangeji, etc which represent different forces of nature, in spiritual realm which is reflection of material realm. this force are govern by Chief force/ God, Saarkin Aljiin. the one God cannot exist without the many and many cant exist without one. This is like Chinese Ying Yang. The forces must be balanced.

we do not believe in good or bad. we only believe right or[b] wrong[/b]. we believe all creatures, humans, animals are equal. we do NOT accept converts unless you are from Haussa tribe. we offer simple sacrifices to abstain from excessive greed and fulfll needs. we read the stars and movements. we have some festival and initiation. we rever the materialistic nature and through it, see and rever immaterialistic spiritual force.

There is also Bori which is some of our spiritual practices done by some muslim Hausa for complete religious satisfaction. but this aspect usually don include the Gods.
