A daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari, Zahra, on Friday, stunned guests at a BBC Hausa event when she revealed that she is unable to speak fluently in Hausa, her father’s language.

The event was to unveil winners of a literary contest organised by the broadcast station.
Mr Buhari is a Hausa man from Daura, an important Hausa city in Katsina. Zahra’s mother, Aisha, is, however, a Fulani from Adamawa.

“I’ll make you laugh,” Zahra, who is married to businessman Ahmed Indimi said, when asked to make a comment at the ceremony officiated in Hausa.

She said she and her siblings rarely communicate in the language.

”Every day my father would correct my Hausa when I converse with him” she said in Hausa amidst laughter.

She said they usually communicate in “Engausa” a colloquial term for mixing of English and Hausa in a conversation.

She attributed her inability to speak good Hausa to attending schools with “children of white people.”

The president’s daughter later told interviewers off stage that they mostly speak in her mother’s native Fulfude language at home.

MoIbrahim:
Not surprising. Only very few Hausa kids speak excellent hausa, except in Kano

DennisEche:

Lies, pmb is Fulani not Hausa. Stop insulting his person by saying he is Hausa. An average Fulani's sees Hausa's as lesser being

eagleeye2:
I can speak Igbo fluently. Abeg dem dey give award?

TheEffective:


Hausa is not worth learning in the 21st century. It has no benefits abroadi.

voltron14:


Even an slowpoke knows that your pension is your entitlement.

TruthProphet:
Nothing to worry about. No award would be given you for speaking Hausa.

No Nigerian language is worth killing one’s self over, they have no international worth. Better to learn a language that is marketable e.g French, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, you must know one of these along with the English you know in order to get an international job maybe in the U.N or something like that. Where you wan carry Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba go...?

TroubleMaker47:
Is Buhari hausa or Fulani?

somehow:
When did Buhari or Zahra become hausa?

MetaPhysical:


Correct!

DennisEche:

Lies, pmb is Fulani not Hausa. Stop insulting his person by saying he is Hausa. An average Fulani's sees Hausa's as lesser being

grandstar:
Her paternal grandfather is Fulani so Fulfide is her language and not Hausa. OP must correct himself

Yusman316:

That's what I don't understand. Hausa and Fulani are two distinct languages, nothing connects them at all other than region.

Nowenuse:







Buhari is a Hausanized Fulani. Most fulanis of the Northwest have lost their language and culture to the Hausas.
Just like some Ilorin people who claim to be Fulanis, but their language & culture is Yoruba.

FarahAideed:


Do you know what pension is ?

FemiMaduka:
.

You have a point. However, intermarriage and geographical consanguinity do not fuse two distinct ethnic groups. All that aside, they are vastly different. Even physically, it is very easy to tell an Hausa man from a Fulbe.

The 'Hausa-Fulani' contraption is political. The relationship between them is, in truth, akin to that of aristocrats and plebs.

TheEffective:


Hausa is not worth learning in the 21st century. It has no benefits abroad.

FarahAideed:
She cannot also speak or write in English language well despite spending years in UK getting educated with taxpayers monies .The apple never falls far for it's tree

voltron14:


Do you always ask stupid questions.

FarahAideed:


You clearly don't know what pension is !!! And I wasn't referring to his military pension but that Illegal ex head of state pension of 29 million being paid to Buhari for illegitimately removing a democratic govt ..That payment is nothing but robbery from the tax payers purse ..why reward a criminal for plotting a coup

voltron14:


It is enshrined in our constitution.

If you don't like it, you can ask for an amendment.

Clearly you don't know what the constitution is anyway.

FarahAideed:


There is no where in our constitution that says coup plotters should be paid 29 million a month ...I dare you to show me
