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...?

Wow! What about UNICEF, doctors without borders, the red cross/crescent, oxfam?

What about radio broadcasting? What about ministry of health campaigns? And publishing?

English + a native language (and French if you can handle it) are more than enough

bamoproperty:
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.

Not surprising. Only very few Hausa kids speak excellent hausa, except in Kano
theres no one hausa person, child or adult, home and abroad that dont speak fluent hausa...shes fulani from katsina so I dont even expect her to speak hausa at all as there are few hausas there so they speak their language more unlike the fulanis in kano
Re: Zahra Buhari: I Can’t Speak Hausa Fluently by MoIbrahim: 6:52pm On Oct 27, 2019
Well, may be fluent is not the exact word to describe it. But it is very common to hear things like "motar ya mutu" or "abubuwan da kake yi mini ba shi da kyau ko kadan". This is what I mean.

Agreed!
Thanks.

MetaPhysical:


Every language written in latin script take after a model used as the standard bearer for indeigenity. Hausa has many dialects. The Kano dialect is the standard bearer. Hausas in Sokoto are very fluent in their dialect. Hausas in Kebbi are fluent. Same with Hausas in Katagum. The Hausa used officialy in politics, commerce and public administration is Kano dialect...
Re: Zahra Buhari: I Can’t Speak Hausa Fluently by MoIbrahim: 6:56pm On Oct 27, 2019
The Kano Hausa is the classical one, inherently observes the rules of the language.

Why is this so?

Hausa is not worth learning in the 21st century. It has no benefits abroad.
Thank God your language is not worth mentioning in whatever context or at any point in world history.

Yusman316:

The guy knows what the constitution says about the matter. His problem is pure hatred for Buhari. Just leave him alone or else he will drag this matter with u till eternity. As if Buhari made the ex heads of states pension law. Or Buhari is the only one receiving it. There was where I even heard Buhari only receives his military pension, and rejected the ex head of state pension thing. How true though, I don't know
A thread about Zahra not speaking Hausa fluently, he wants to change it into Buhari and pension and constitution
the guy has bn constituting nuisance on this forum for long
