Waoh! This is great. The igbos are good people

I have not seen any muslim woman from the north who is a popular writer

Note: Zainab Alkali was a Christian lady. She was Elizabeth Alkali from southern Borno, Borno State. A member of ECWA church but later converted to Islam.

If you know any northern woman who is a Muslim from birth and is a writer, let me know so that I can do research on her


You people can't do without tribalism, can you? How about Maryam Awaisu?

Let's twist the question now.

Mention ONE hausa IndecentStar. Do your research and tell me

According to Bukola Saraki, He's a Fulani man. According to Nigerian Regional divide, Kwara is North Central, lest I forget
... According to Kanu, Nijeria is a Zoooo.

You need an award for thrashing those worthless tribalists.
Does Nairaland need a brain reset button for illiterates? My actual stand is that there are enlightened northern writers of note, I only wanted him to name them and stop the unnecessary bickering. Why not ask a poster for clarification before you start insulting people who are on the same side with you?

If you don't want to see it,then you'll forever remain blind.
First of all Ijeoma is an Igbo name,same with oluo,she said her name is an Igbo name meaning "good journey",that wraps it up to say that she's Igbo!,no arguments,cause you would be surprised to find out that I too I'm not from the South East but I answer an Igbo name and surname with a proud Igbo identity,same with Ijeoma,if you don't like it,go and hug transformer.

A yoruba man answering Tunde Olalekan can't be interviewed twice to determine wether he is Yoruba or not,because it's clearly a yoruba name.Same with Ijeoma Oluo

You're slow. That someone has an Igbo name doesn't automatically make them Ignorant. Are you two?
