ABOKI9ja:
Dear Sis. I will like to let you know I had a communication with different people from England, Germany,Russia,India and many more but no one has ever fault faulted my grammar.
But thanks anyaway for the respond response

darol4real:
Hausa's are better than Igbo if we are to judge. Igbo people don't accommodate strangers in their state e.g Ebonyi State.

Pidgin2:


Hausa may be your language but i'm sure you were given the opportunity to study English in school for easy communication with other tribes. This is why people don't like you guys, you have refused to be flexible, you don't want to learn and accept things that will unify this country.

How can you eat your cake and have it at the same time? You want to benefit from oil(which is okay) but you don't want to coexist (accept things that will unify us all). The ball is in your court, if you don't accept others you will keep meeting hostility everywhere you go (unfortunately)

Let's promote Nigerian unity

Lushka:
OP is stinkingly arrogant and myopic and will continue in that enclave. Typical of his fellow gown wearing brothers. He does not deserve all these responses. THREAD CLOSED⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠

malton:


Your response is impressive.

The issue with them is religion. Forget everything else you have seen or heard.

They see everyone else as kafir, and as such, beneath them. That's why they have such arrogant disposition.

Plaintainboy:
The OP asked a simple question in a comprehensible language and instead of keeping quite or oferring answers, every one is all about his grammar. Only naive and inexperienced people attach this level of value to English. We were taught English in school so what? Germans were taught English in school too yet most of the speak very poor English, same for the Chinese, Russians and a host of them. Quit making unnecessary fuss displaying your ignorance in the process, its not a must to comment. Your primary language is the most important language any other one is secondary.

ABOKI9ja:
we Dont give a fucking Damn about what You are saying. Are you not Kafir? Do you know what that means? U must be arrogant and your arrogance will continues flowing

malton:


Ka ga, mallam, ka shiga hankalin ka. Wani irin rashin hankali ne haka?!

You're asking if I know what "kafir" means? Well, it alludes to a person who rejects or does not believe in God.

By referring to someone who has their own religion as kafir, you're implying that that individual does not believe in God. The problem with you guys is, you also refer to non-hausa Muslims as kafirs. It's pathetic and reeks of idiocracy. Like, what makes you holier than anyone? Hypocrisy? Surely not!

Most Arabians don't carry the religion on the heads like you do.

ABOKI9ja:
Guess What? English is not My Mother's Tongue. Hausa is My language so don't expect me to be perfect on someone's language

furrr:


Well I agree with you for the most part especially the part where hausa see themselves as more muslim than other tribes or ethnicities ..... this might be because of the feeling that other tribes mix religion and some traditional beliefs......... this has reduced tremendously partly due to more association and co existence with other muslim from other tribes... And I believe there is certainly more room for improvement.... but what I hate and don't like on nairaland in general is generalisation

The moment something regarding hausa or the north is mentioned it's immediately taken to be terrible and bad

Imagine.... a thread on nairaland that show fayose ekiti governor distributing rice and 200 Naira .... most people (not all) immediately start praising the governor and how it's genius what he is doing

Moments letter another thread show Ganduje inspecting a multi billion Naira tiga hydro power plant and irrigation project..... immediately nairalanders including some prising fayose in the previous thread started bashing Ganduje..... saying how it's environmentally bad to build dams some went as far as saying that hausas will bomb the dam etc awful stuff you know

This occurs a lot here on nairaland where a southern governor commission a culvert and immediately he is commended but northern governor does thesame..... the insults begin to rain etc etc....

Hausas are generally hated because of preconceived notion of the north and it's people as bad..... And most at times by people who have not set foot anywhere in the north.....

ThinkSmarter:
majority of Hausas re good people, very hospitable even more than my own tribe.
But the Fulanis re the bad eggs, though not all but majority. They hv this Domineering and conquering tendency running in their blood.
Hausas would hv been a very good tribe indeed if not that they goodwill hv been corrupted by hardcore Islamic teachings.
The extremists or fundamentalists among them re quick to criticize and condemn u if u don't share the same ideology with them.
But, majority of the pure Hausas re extroverted and hospitable.
While the pure Fulanis re more introverted, isolated and always tend to be fanatics in most cases.
The Fulanis re naturally wicked, they don't forgive easily when offended. One good thing with them is that they, Fulanis re always brighter academically, this doesn't mean that the Hausas re not bright.
How do I know these? from their body structure.
The Hausas re always taller, huger in some cases and appear to have a darker skin. While the Fulanis re thin in most cases,more of averaged height, higher tendency of having a fair skin, though some re black, with smaller pointed nose, chisel shaped jaws.
I'm telling you from my experience.
I'm serving in the North.

I tire oo my broda

Most if not all developed countries in the world speak their indigenous language e.g China, Japan, S Korea, UK, Russia, France Germany etc all countries that truly matter to the world speak and use their indigenous languages

This is because it's more practical and natural .........
Instead of wasting time and energy to learn someone else's language why don't you try to improve and develop your own language and devote that time spent learning other languages to something like technology etc

Don't get me wrong learning a foreign language is not bad infact it's a plus to an individual but please don't do it at the expense of your own language and that's why we have a section in universities dedicated to languages........

woodcook:


I think there is a big gap in your line of arguement. The official language, language of instruction and everyday business language in those countries you mentioned are not English. So expecting the same level of English language from someone in those countries as compared to someone from supposedly English speaking countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda etc is like comparing orange and apple.

furrr:

... why don't you guys offer a friendly hand and provide constructive criticism instead of insults and bigotry and we will see where it goes from there......

furrr:


Thanks for your reply
With regards to education I will say the hausas are trying not to say that we are where we are.... but the true measure of progress is to look at where someone is in the past and where that person is today....... just a few years after independence they where only 84 secondary schools (most of which are concentrated in the NC) in the entire northern region while down south they are hundreds of schools........ this has to do with history.... when the colonials came they met a large chunk of the north having an established system of education based on islam an established system of government and an established religion as such they knew that trying to build schools in the north (most of the schools are missionary schools) will be seen by the northerners as an attack to their religion and their way of life....... And rightly so..... because prior to the colonials they are only two religions in nigeria Islam in the majority of the north and a small part of SW and traditional religion for the rest of the country today Islam and Christianity are almost evenly divided

What I am saying in a nutshell is that the north is making progress in education however slow it may be.... during independence we have only one person with a bsc in the entire northern region and today there are professors, Dr's you name it and schools are filled to capacity and even to over capacity.....

I am a living testament to this fact because I have a bsc in accounting, msc in taxation and treasury management, and a member of ICAN and all this I achieve attending school in kano and am still in my twenties....... just 20- 30 years ago this would have been impossible......

So instead of bashing and raining insult on us no matter what we do "good or bad" which will further animosity and hatred among us why don't you guys offer a friendly hand and provide constructive criticism instead of insults and bigotry and we will see where it goes from there......

Plaintainboy:


Mr whatever, your native language is the most important language any other language is secondary. Modern slaves, that mans English is comprehensible, what more do you all want?

ABOKI9ja:
It's amazing me seeing how men and women of other tribes giving Priority to english than their language. Why
Someone Here Insulted me Because of my English. I'm Hausa and feeling blessed with it and How my English is, is not matter to me I use English only to Communicate and I don't really care how good or Bad Of My English as long as i can Convey My Message and be understood by others

woodcook:


That is the problem with us. You presented your case and I pointed out the holes in your arguement in stead of backing your claims with sound logic you restort to name calling.

Did you read anywhere where I faulted him? I am only calling you out for trying to pass your half-assed cases as an excuse.
