Hausa Are The Most Marginalized Nigerians
November 25, 2017

If you want to tame, culture and shape humans to submit to your culture blindly, you come as explorers, then as missionaries to show them the path to heaven and finally colonize them for political and economic gain. It works all the time, in Africa Nkrumah called it colonialism to Neo-. Once people are gripped by religion, they are ready to kill for converts. Otherwise there would be no Crusade or Jihad. Hausa are still religious zealots of Usman Dan Fodio after all the years.

If faith preachers cannot wait to get to heaven before they live in luxury on your tithes, why should you? Religious houses in every street, cramming the Koran, Bible and incarnation from our pastors, imams and babalawo are drugs on faith that cannot produce a pin, feed our hungry bellies or change water into wine. It creates jobs and wealth for those exploiting our delusions, misery, faith and hope that one day salvation would come or when we get to heaven.

Throughout the history of Nigeria, Hausa/Fulani wannabes have ruled more than other ethnic groups but their folks are the least beneficiary of basic needs. Hausa, the descendants of kings of African Empires are a good example of how radical religions stunted advancement. The good intention of Federal Character was to make sure that every area is ameliorated by national income and Federal presence. However, Federal Character has been hijacked by the privileged and the elite politicians to secure pieces of the pie for one another instead of infrastructure.

The Southerners, if the current trend of glorified pastors, imams and Voodoo men continue, are just becoming as hooked on faith as Northern Muslims. There are pastors and imams raising the dead, predicting calamity and threatening the end of the world until they establish churches and mosques on every street where tithes can easily flow into their pockets. Their believers are so overcome by persona, they are in the early stages of charlatanry as the Hausa or Kanuri boko haram in search of converts from houses on every street to establish their business centers.

Despite leadership from the North, the Hausa remained the most marginalized based on past history with the Fulani that captured their City States and replaced their Emirs with only those that can demonstrate their Fulani blood. Unfortunately, the obvious exclusion of real Hausa has gone beyond religious power and made it into political power. The hierarchy established by Usman Dan Fodio radical Islam replaced prior established Muslim and their indigenous beliefs.

Islam was not new to the Hausa, Dan Fodio brought his radicalized version displacing the one he met and more important, suppressing Hausa indigenous religion. Therefore, no head of State from the Northern part of Nigeria would be accepted without following the established hierarchy of the Fulani blood. Indeed, when he took over, General Gowon, a tactically chosen Christian, assured the Fulani indirectly by reminding them this was a Northerner in charge.

Ironically, Gowon from the Middle Belt is not even a Fulani or an Hausa but like General Banbangida and those without Fulani blood like Gen. Abacha and Abubakar that led after him, they had to preserve the legacy of Fulani blood in their appointments. While Southerners decried the lack of Federal Character in appointments, Northerners did not care since they have to answer to established norm prevailing after the Hausa lost their City States to Dan Fodio.

One would expect the Hausa to be better off than the rest of the ethnic groups in the North or South but not even the Federal Character could save them from Fulani religious hierarchy. The amount of funds supporting Federal Character individually deprived most communities of basic infrastructure. They end up as talikawa and some as beggars all over the Country.

The Southerners now have their own Dan Fodio competition in the miracles of pastors, imams and Voodoo men. Before pastors, imams and medicine men established themselves as the only way to salvation and the means of acquiring wisdom in the South, Hausa and most Northerners were just as fanatically glued to the teaching of their spiritual leaders that influence and in most cases dictated their political lives. It is not that most cannot read or write, but only in crammed Koranic verses so that they can be submissive and obedient to their Allah representatives.

Since most of these lessons come from the Middle East, they even face that direction when praying. The distraction have closed their minds to other forms of learning in order to function in the real world. While Middle East countries send their children to western universities, most Hausa value Arab religious teaching or pilgrimage to Mecca. Southerners relapsing into trance by the heavenly promises of pastors, imams and Voodoo priests are not far behind.

Religious relapse has closed the minds of most Hausa to western education which their western trained leaders hypocritically called boko-haram. In spite of all the enticement to go to secular schools up to level they want, free of charge, most Northerners would rather cling to religious teaching encouraged by their religious and political leaders that reward their trust and loyalty. Even worse, is the charlatan obligation to convert or kill those they see as unbelievers: kaferi.

Once Hausa can overcome their religious bias and attend western schools or universities, they are guaranteed position of power as long as they retained or claimed relationship to the Fulani hierarchy. While this is adequate for political power or field of study, it is detrimental when given position they are least qualified for, as Federal Character deprive community of amenity.

Northerners have potential to feed not only Nigeria, if they increase high yield production for storage. More could be done if their leaders can think beyond dominating political fields. Those political positions only allow you to loot selfishly. Primary skills needed for infrastructure which Nigeria lacks are imported. If Hausa leaders are serious about catching up with their Southern brothers and sisters; welders, plumbers, carpenters and ironworkers must be trained there.

Though younger generation are better educated in the South, skilled trade is still looked down on by many, only to import them from the foreign countries they contract with to build bridges, other infrastructure the Country needs badly. We are the only educated folks that contracted Ajaokuta Steel without stipulation for trained Nigerians after 5, 10, 20 or 25 years. Even Eastern and Southern African countries now demand that in their foreign contracts.

Keep joking

Na so lies wan kill op please when did Muslims start collecting tithe? Why are you so cowardly to directly attack your tithe collectors?

Let's see what others would have to say about this.

The writer talks about the potentials of Hausas but forgot to tell us the potentials of other tribes so we can compare.

No one is marginalising the Hausa. They submitted their cultural and tribal autonomy to the fulani.

The competition for biggest victim continues with Hausa entering race with Igbos and ND collective.

The Victim Olympics.
All things equal ND should win it with North coming second.
I put North ahead of SE cos of Tin MB gave us before oil.

So the Hausa have more schools graduates, more hospitals, less infant mortalities and famine than the Niger Delta?

They are not complaining,in fact they are happy with their masters.Mind your business op.

Should we abandon religion and focus on science and technology?

Maybe the FG should start giving awards for most marginalized since everyone now finds it cool

Crap!

This is a failed attempt to break the ranks and pitch the "hausas" against the "fulanis".

Dead on arrival.

The hausa choose that marginalization. They seem to be happy with it so let them enjoy it. I personally don't see what benefits hausa gain from allowing fulani rule over them. The hausa have way more than fulani, they ain't gaining shit from the relationship while fulani are gaining alot. I don't get it but hey, since they are okay with it, let them do them. Farouk Aresa mind your business

I wonder how the boldened lie became so widely swallowed by southerners hook, line and sinker! Who are the so called northern leaders/elites who tell the masses that western education is a sin? The last time I checked only Boko Haram has that ideology, and that group of barbarians are nowhere near being leaders no elites.
The unprecedented efforts of Sardauna to see that northerners went to school is there for everyone to see. He used every tactic from incentives to threats and sanctions. Village heads were forced to bring their oldest male children to school to serve as a message for other villagers.
The elite and leaders of today may have become reluctant to follow his methods with the same vigor, but it's uncharitable and totally wrong to claim They tell people NOT to send their kids to school. .
The writer made some valid points though.

They can only fool themselves. Ai ba yau sun ka fara ba.

Their fathers have been playing that game for decades in order to break the united north like their fractured south, but it always ends up in futility. Just like they have been trying to divide the west by shouting "Yoruba moslem" all over the place in vain. Don't mind the marginalization & slavery preaching potor developers....misery loves company. Farouk Martins kor....Hadiza Jackson ni.

Dead on arrival indeed

Yet people like you claim Ipob is the paranoid one? Do a little googling and you will see this man is one of yours (A Muslim from the SW).

The first time I saw this article, I know the author will get banged from all sides. But the one that got me cracking and laughing was the above quote.

I do not know how old the guy who thought Hausa never killed their brothers for being kaferi is. He needs to go back home and ask. Hausa are very indigenous to Nigeria. It is the Fulani that are not.

Believe it or not, until the Hausa are free from the religious trance Fulani put them in, they will continue to see their Nigerian brothers and sister from the religious lens Fulani got them into. Think about the causes of most religious riots and killings in the North.

Southerners must embrace their brother and free them from Fulani choke-hold. It's got nothing to do with dividing the North. North has never been one as political expediency would like to claim.

By the way, that quote up there reminds me of what they say about slavery during the fight for abolition.

Hausa people are enjoying their slavery under their wonderful Fulani masters and for your information,I lived in Kano for 8 good years and knows what's up in the North. It is the Hausa slavish attitude that encourages Fulanis to insult other indigenous ethnic groups in Nigeria.

This has got to be the best article i've read this year on this platform.

Nothing more to add. Kudos to the writer.

Unfortunately, nairaland is now littered with kids who will not understand...even if they manage to read beyond the topic.

The hausas seem to have given up. They have allowed themselves to be enslaved by religion but are too ashamed to admit it. They are the donkeys on the backs of which the Fulanis ride to trouble the rest of Nigeria.

The people I pity most are the Kanuris..they've destroyed their lands in the name of boko-haram.
Something Fulanis will never do.

the post is fraught with contradictory assertions and lacks clear direction and agenda.

Unfortunately, half-educated bigots like edcure,intellectually rendered dumb due to his obsessive hate for Islam, lack the ability to see this only for him to rush into conclusion and hip praises on the write up.

Gbamest ... Couldn't have put it better

One of the reasons Nigeria cannot move forward is because of people like you guys. Denials, hypocrisy, ultra conservatives that are highly religious like 83% of Christian regular church goers that voted for Trump in America. You cherish the days the Hausa States were capture by Fulani but not when Hausa sons were ruling great African Empire as the author pointed out.

One of you even claimed Hausa never killed their own brothers and sisters because they are kaferi. Ask their relatives and good Hausa as they were asked to disembark from buses traveling in the North and they disappeared forever. These are their families in Nigeria obeying Fulani doctrine of foreign religion. And you do not know why they are still backward?

Mention one people that have depended on religion and not destroyed themselves sooner or later. From Israel to their Arab brothers, children of Abraham.

So tithes are those collected monthly and yearly, not those collected weakly and daily?

What's the point in replying a simpleton that suffers from comprehension defects? The infantile Fulani slave just wanted his post to be read.

Ignore them.

My gosh, Fulani wannabes have taken to their heels. May God save our Hausa brothers from bondage of the Moroccans that destroyed the last African Empire of Songhai and the Libyans that continue their victimization of Africans today as the Christians continue to squeeze Africa economically.

Amen in the name of Jesus and Mohamed SAW!

So dan fodio was the first private jet pastor?
