Bros just add masters of deception and your list is complete, the OP knows next to nothing about the Hausa.

POINT!!!

Postingdayinfo:
You might be wondering who and what they are?. But the best way to study any member of nature’s community is to visit its home.

Let me prepare your mind before you read further; you will be reading both the good and bad part of the Northerners (popularly called Hausa) as observed by me, an outsider.

okay, let’s start our funfilled journey into the badlands. These are things I observed during my stay in the north, among the Hausa people;

1. Tolerance

The first thing that amazed me about Hausas during my first day is how slow they are to anger ― with each other especially.

“Mallam, kada kada!!” meaning Mr., Small Small (or easy). That was what I shouted at the bike man conveying me to a destination. He almost hit an oncoming bike. I thought the encounter will result in fists exchange as I have seen in the South and West. To my surprise, the only words they exchanged was a greeting with the smile.

This repeatedly happened in all of the same occurrences I witnessed.

2. Subtle Begging

The first day I saw this well-planned begging style, I was repairing my phone with a Hausa man. A lady with make-over (many of their girls always wear make-up), enters saying greetings to the man. The man gave her N50 and she dipped her hand into a bowl carried by a small boy, bringing out something that looks like beans cake. Oh! I forgot to tell you, there are about seven lads trolling behind her. You still don’t get it?! The children are what they call Almajiris.

She prepares the beans cake (look-like) and distributes the equivalent of the amount of alms she receives to the children. This is a case of using the money to make money.

3. Hardwork

Another way these important tribe in Nigeria caught me off-guard was their business methods and how they try to earn a living. Before my visit to the north, in my thought, I divided the three important tribes in Nigeria based on what I think they are proficient with and in.

Yoruba (Education), Igbo (Business), and Hausa (Farming).

To my utmost surprise, northerners are lovers of business as much as Ibos ― if not more industrious than Ibos. They do any work available with awesome customer service. Their children can be found selling different things ranging from sachet water to chinchin. Seeing the hustle spirit in these kids makes me realize you can survive anywhere, anytime without depending on anybody.

4. Extremely Dominating

I experienced a mixed feeling of surprise and confirmation of my suspicion when I discovered this no. 4 in the Hausas. They are not easily dominated, but they love being dominated. Just like the park of wolves where everyone wants to lead but always bow to the leader chosen.

Whenever there is an argument, they are always in support of the person who appears dominating irrespective of who is right or wrong. This is however different in an instance where a fight ensues between one of them and an outsider; they support their own.

5. Free Feeling Expression

Irrespective of who you are, they always voice their feeling(s) about you, to your face. Maybe that is why they have fewer gossipers ― come on! I wouldn’t know.

That number 5 is exactly why I love them. I had a friend in secondary school here in Lagos who was Hausa,she was fun to be with and very straight-forward.

Ba so sai ba.

They hardly forgive if you wrong them.

Remove tolerance asap

a lot of hausas r nice people;in fact,i prefer them to every other ethnic groups,including my ijaw people. however,their downside is the religious senstivity. "sanu" to all d hausas here.

Yea that is true, we won't disrespect ur religion and in return don't disregard ours too. Religion is above anything in Islam.

Rotfl u dey mind that guy.

johnmattew:
unity, communalism and hardworking are the attributes of Hausa ppl. u can't separate those attributes from hausa ppl especially those away from home........ in Lagos here u see them accommodating eachother and ready to help their brothers out when in need.u hardly hear it see them competing or outdoing eachother

they aren't desperate unlike my fellow southerners...u hardly great hausa man constituting nuisances abroad.


they are true Nigerians that believe in n and nationality.

people dat trafficked hard drugs to saudi arabia are from your village.

Just take correction from the guy. There is nothing like ibo stop your ignorance

But there is something like Amaka

Icon79:
Your observation is right! The Hausa-Fulani muslims don't even consider Yoruba muslims as real muslims. That's why I laugh each time I see some of those braindead Afonjas thinking that the Fulani herdsmen are only going to attack Ndi Igbo when they start their full scale invasion.
Take it from someone who knows, if that time comes, they would try to exterminate the Yorubas first before turning on Ndi Igbo.


O pari

And they did not exterminate the yorubas when they invaded the west with Islam(Usman Dan fodio) then.

Did he just say tolerance

bros come to north n see

So what do you call what happened to the Yorubas? Othman Dan Fodio invaded your land, took away your culture and religion ... forcefully (the keyword being FORCEFULLY) converted more than 50% of your people to Islam (his religion). What do you call that, eh

And by the way, they would be more ruthless in their second invasion since they already accuse the Yoruba people of contaminating Islam. Do not say I didn't warn y'all

I served in Kaita LGA katsina state, u are on point, i love your observation

Your are writing this to attract ppl to north again , so that they will be enough blood to shed during and after election. You must be a paid agent, but God pass you

Most people still cannot tell the difference between Hausa and Fulani.

You're right bro. I've moved with alot of guys from different tribes but the Hausa guys always value friendship.
Even in business, they're quite honest. They don't inflate prices unnecessarily.
If two Hausa men are selling recharge cards somewhere and one seems to be getting more customers, he'll refer some customers to the other man selling recharge cards.
If they're into repairs, you'll hardly see them play a fast one on you.
They've got confidence too.
Quite a friendly tribe. I still remember one Hausa man that helped me out in the park when I was short on cash.
I've observed certain tribes too well and they seem to carry some kind of vendata in their DNA.

So true! No be lie. In all truth and fairness, generally, they are kind and fun to live with. Just be truthful to them in all ur dealings and you're good to go.

missed kano state sha

You got false impression. They aren't dominant, if they are, why do they have Fulani rulers?

They aren't as hardworking, or why do they have more beggers, out-of-school children than other Nigerians The list is endless.
