No. Arewa is a Hausa word which means north. It has nothing to do with being Hausa. North America is called in Hausa " American Arewa"


So as afar you are in 19 northern state you're from the north and that that word north is called AREWA IN HAUSA. So the op was not calling hausa here but all Yan Arewa (all northerners )

Like i said idk. I hope you know words evolves, the same latin word "crux" turned out to mean something else. You need to start watching Arewa Tv, tell me if they ever displayed an Ebira, Yoruba, Tiv, Gbagyi, Gwari, Ganagana, Idoma, Igala, Igarra, Igede, Ogori, e.t.c movie there before. The truth is Hausa claims Arewa but yet marginalize the minority. I have friends from Yola who claim Hausa but they ain't one.

Arewa TV is a private tv station based owned in kano own by Hausa Lady. It is not the matter of displacement rather the Hausa language of more of a lingua franca than a tribe.

Take example, The north was conquered by Fulani, yet they couldn't impose their language. The kano state emirate is fulani yet majority of them cannot speak the language not even Sunusi.

Have you ever heard Buhari then or now speak fulani? I doubt if he can.


If you said the Hausa language displaces all other language I agree not only in north but its second in west Africa.

We also have arewa radio (different from arewa tv) in Kano, the general manager is not Hausa and also not a muslim but a northerner from Gombe state.

That's alright. Are you an Hausa?

No i am not my dad is from a minority tribe from borno, while my mom is from yola

This is a noble cause FK.
However you shall note we don't owe anyone explaining how we do things.
The hypocrisy and ignorance of most of our southern brothers is outstanding. But what irks me the most is their unshaken display of hatred on the northerners and the north.
I commend your cause of action towards the Almajiri issue, the problem is a monumental one, and the best solution to address it from the root.

Good for you. We are not unity beggars, being a northerner is a privilege not a burden we must help others to share, if you don't understand that then you definitely are NOT a northerner. Thank you for your contribution and Bye!
