The nicest people I've ever met in Nigeria, are the Hausa people. I'm literally writing this out of disappointment, I would tell you why, with strong facts, coupled with my recent experiences.

First Off, I lived in Kano for two years, and while in Kano, I worked with Access Bank, where I interacted and transacted with both Hausas and Southerners. And beside living in Kano, I grew up around the Hausa quarters in the Southern part of Nigeria too.

Now, pull a seat, grab your popcorn, and relax as you read through my pathetic experience. Trust me, I wouldn't bore you with my story.

Few weeks ago, I was home for Xmas. I needed to open a dom account with First Bank for some LEGIT international transactions. And this account required two referees who must be personal current account holders. And most of my family members and friends are Salary
Current account holders. I needed a business man or an entrepreneur to stand for me.

I went in search for referees, the first person I met was an igbo whom we grew up together in thesame hood. He was in a perfect position to help me, but he declined. I could see the distrust in his eyes. He looked at me like I was some fraudster.

To prove to him that I was legit, I showed a receipt of my last international transaction, and how it was an official wire transfer from a foreign bank. I usually, wouldn't show anyone this, but I showed him, just so he can trust me, and serve as my referee. I needed this so bad. But he turned me down. Pathetic!

Saying I was disappointed, is an understatement. I left in shame, knowing too well TRUST is now expensive in the 21st century Nigeria. Contemplating on who next I'm to meet, I became skeptical, because I wouldn't want to walk about like a cheap criminal seeking for preys.

As one who have worked with the Hausas, and knowing how nice and trustful they could be. I strolled down to the quarters. I met this Hausa boy, just like the igbo boy, we all grew up in the hood.

I pleaded with him to be my referee. He told me he wasn't qualify to, but that his father operates a current personal account, and he can help me out. This his father was an old man who was sick and Bedridden in his room.

... But this Hausa boy took my form and everything to his father on his sick bed, and without stress, the man signed everything for me.

Now, I was left with one other referee. I met the second Hausa man, explained to him, and he appended his signature and came through for me too.

**Fast forward to last week in Abuja**

Remember, I opened that other account with First Bank. So, last week, the Bureau de Change lady I transact with advised me to open another of same account with GT bank, she said GT services were better than that of First Bank.

I told her getting referees would be a big challenge. Guess what? She said I shouldn't worry, that she would be my referee. This is also a Hausa/Yoruba MUSLIM lady. Although we've transacted business just twice, she barely knows me. But on the two occasions we met, she already have some level of trust in me, and was ready to help me out.

Now, I needed another referee to make it two. I met a lady who is from same place as me, in fact, it was through her I got to know the Bureau de Change Hausa lady who is already offering to help, but guess what? This other lady who is more like a sister REFUSED Blatantly.


Now, I'm not blaming those who turned me down actually, I'm not trying to feel entitled what so ever. But the question is,

WHY IS IT THAT THE HAUSAS WOULD EASILY HELP YOU, even when your own so called Christian brother/sisters turn you down?Why are the Hausa nicer than US?

The richest Igbo man, Arthur Eze, admitted last year that, it was the Hausas who helped him become what he is today. He admitted that Southerners don't Love themselves.

You know What? I think his is so RIGHT!

The word 'Hausa' doesn't exist anymore. Hausa people is the name of an almost forgotten tribe in the 19th century. The tribe has been conquered, displaced, replaced and disbanded and dispatched from their home states by fulani people.

Hausa people exists only on the pages of history books now.

Their only mistake was loving peace and deciding to exist peacefully with their herdsmen visitors who came down from Senegal, Mali and Niger.

OP you are right. You just said nothing but the truth...Things I love about the Hausas are...

They have the fear of God in there heart"
They are very kind and honest"
A hausa man will tell you the truth no matter how bitter it is"
A hausa man will never let you go the wrong way"
A hausa man will help you without considering your religion""

Mind you am not an Hausa man!!!

Am just saying the truth.

Op, that was then.

We now love ourselves more.
This is why we're putting weight behind our ONLY sellable son from the South for presidency.

Well, this is a sad truth.

Kinematics:
Well, this is a sad truth.

But this bitter truth remains

Nonsense thread.

Hausa are more honest than southerners
And that’s why they were easily subdued by fulani

azmanaty02:
Nonsense thread.

I think you are the Nonsense one here

The way people talk about tribes or regions here on NL makes me believe y'all are dull... This things have to do with individuals not a tribe. 00

ThatFairGuy1:

The thing is, they love themselves so very much, no doubt. But can be nice to strangers too.

As fight wan stat
Make I book space

let me wait here small

Your blame should go to Nigeria financial institution that make that useless policy, that you need two surety before you can be a current account holder in a bank. I have never been ask to provide a surety before I own current account at abroad.

I have account in many European countries and few African countries, but can you imagine that I don't have current account in Nigeria despite owing a big company.

To open saves or current account outside Nigeria is very simple, some country only require that you add resident permit to you utilities papers, why some don't need your resident permit card, hence your passport is valid and has valid visa, just open any type of account you need and activate it, take your can and enjoy your business.

No country has the type of policies Nigeria government introducing yet Nigeria is back ward in everything especially since June 2015 till date

The writer is an idiot

I love your story. But let me start by asking questions that if you get it right it answers all your questions.

1. Hausas love themselves, with the highest number of billionaires in North, why do they have the highest number of poverty in the world.

2. If they love themselves why didn't there leaders ensure they benefit by going to school?

3. Why are they killing each other

Ottyn01:

Why do they kill themselves as much as they love themselves?

Arrrrrrrh

The OP is right. I stay in the North, grew up here and I can vouch my Result that they are one honest people in Nigeria. Forget about religion they are very sincere.

It's hard to find hausa men without integrity. Especially those good soul that are not ruled by religious fantasy.

They have the fear of God, they hardly cheat in business.

They keep to certain custom, that even thier kids follow.

They makes business great when they trade with an Igbo man.. Ask any Igbo man staying in the north to tell you about hausa people they will repeat what I said.

They love them selves. All this rubbish things about brother killing his brother with jazz and the rest hardly exist in thier mist.

Very good set of people am not sayin they ain't gat no bad eggs but 75% of them are good .

If not for thier religious fanaticism, they are one people I love to live around with.

NB: Am not a hausa dude!!!

Even a fool thinks he is a genius.

op you are right but they are not as nice as before especially the ones residing off core north
