Sanu Nku Jamaa [Hausa-speaking thread]

ke ma dai kya fada.

Inajin sai munyi musu wakan tafa tafa.

Maza dai ayi rubutu.

Hey question; are the Fulani and Tuareg related, as in they used to be one big group until those who remained the Fulani began to Urbanize while the group that refused to became known as the Tuareg?

Also, it's said that Amina was a ruthless butcher, and a slut. A Hausa professor told me this back in Uni. He said that she is nothing to be proud of amongst the Hausa people,  in that "she did nothing but butcher and sleep around with different men in here journeys. Her death was greeted with standing ovation"?  Is this true?

Hausa is a Chadic language with the largest number of speakers, spoken as a first language by about 24 million people, and as a second language by about 15 million more. Native speakers of Hausa are mostly to be found in the in the north of Nigeria and in the African country of Niger (where it is an official language in the north), but the language is widely used as a lingua franca (similar to Wolof in Senegal) in a much larger swathe of West Africa.

Capone,

I will share a story with you.  A man went on a trip across country riding on his donkey. He came passing by a group of people resting underneath a baobab tree. Seeing him on top of the donkey they queried his wisdom and asked if he did not know that riding that donkey that far was hazardous to the donkey's life. So the man got off the donkey and started walking beside it.  Further on, he came to the water hole where there were some men sitting by the bank. On approaching they queried his wisdom and asked if he was stupid for walking that far while his donkey traveled bare back.  Upon refreshing with water, he bode them farewell and jumped right on the donkey's back.
At this stage of the journey the man had done some trading enroute and has a huge load sitting behind him on the donkey.  Further on he again came upon a group of men travelling in the opposite direction. They stopped him in his tracks.  Whatttt! Have you lost your senses?  Do you want to kill this poor donkey?  Why is it carrying such a huge load on its back? 

The moral of the story is this, it will not matter what you do, there is always something to pick on and criticize.  It is human nature.  Ignore the critics' tongue and relish in the praises of admirers.  I'm sure there are things that Northerners criticize about the Yorubas and the Ibos. I am sure there counter criticisms between the Ibos and the Yorubas.  We are all humans and should not be sensitive to these issues, we should stay above the fray and hold tight to the common goodwill that bond all of us together as a people, as Nigerians. 

Ubangiji ya kyaye mu.
