What's that drink that hausa people sell?it's like ribena or something

tpiah!:

generally speaking, level of education is inversely proportional to number of children had.

meaning a less educated woman is likely to have more children than an educated one.

as for problems in future- na bigger pool of available wives nah.

ekt_bear:

The fertility rate in the NW and NE are really high though. 7.3 in the NW versus 5.7 nationally. Only 4.5 in the SW. That is going to create a lot of problems in the future . . .  Federal Republic of Hausaland

Jenifa_:



lol i used to buy ribena from a mallam

but they sell zobo too hahaha

Some kwarans are all mixed up with yoruba and hausa aren't they. where would those fit.

Pweety4me:

yea it's inside a plastic tin like dis, it's sweet innit

Ileke-IdI:

Isnt it part of their religion? Condom or any sort of contraception is forbidden by Allah?
Religion and culture plays a role. Don't want to sound ignorant, but I doubt most of them understand contraceptive/preventative methods.
Lil children being forced into marriage at age 12, most of them barely matured/uneducated, how can they prevent pregnancy from their domineering grandpapa aka husband?

Jenifa_:


ribena? The one I know comes in a paper carton thing. the big size comes in a glass bottle.
I don't know about nowadays though. I guess they sell them in plastic containers now. lol

If you were born in the north, you'll probably be having your 5th child by now. Women in this part of Nigeria are caught in a very oppressive system which does not encourage them to get any formal education. It is a vicious circle.

namfav:

put all of them together and they still have not achieved what nana asma'u has

namfav:

this is why igbos will never get their desire of biafra, nana asma'u was the sister of khalifa and yet she inspired many women inside and outside, she still remains one of the most highly esteemed muslim woman in the world used across the world as an example, how about chimamanda, when will her people achieve something under their wish (biafra)?

Justcash:

Haba, wetin carry Biafra enter the tok now?
Okay, Asma'u is the bestest. Can you drop the Biafra tok now? *Before you start talking about blowing yo'self up*

namfav:

please, you igbos obsess over biafra since when is it wrong to talk about your greatest failure?

i am 120% sure even igbos don't know most of those womens 

Justcash:

Hahahahahahahhahaahahahhahahaha! Greatest failure? Biafra seems to be your biggest Nightmare. You don't want Nigerian Easterners to leave you abi? Anuofia!
Wetin concern the topic and Biafra anyway? This topic is about successful Igbo women. Let's keep it that way. Aturu hausa. SMH
LWKMD!

Nana Asma’u continued legacy rests not just on her literary work and role in defining the values of the Sokoto state. Today in Northern Nigeria, Islamic women's organisation, schools, and meeting halls are commonly named for her. She re-entered the debate on the role of women in Islam in the 20th century, as her legacy has been carried by Islamic scholars and immigrants to Europe and its academic debates. The republishing and translation of her works has brought added attention to the purely literary value of her prose and poems.

namfav:

as i said, put those women together and they would not have achieved what nana asama'u has achieved, none of those women will be known 50 years from now, this is what they say about nana today, 200 years on

jason123:

Navfam, I was actually enjoying this topic before you brought Biafra into it!

namfav:

this topic was created to put igbo women ontop of other women, which is a fallacy and unfair

EzeUche:

Stop crying and learn to respect women. We all know the men up North have a hard time respecting women. It seems like you all are either insecure or intimidated by women.

namfav:

im actually happy for successful women

you're a dumb igbo

Onlytruth:

In Yorubaland, I see only one model of a woman to rival Igbo women.

Her name is Chief Mrs Bola Kuforiji-Olubi.

Are you sure that babe ain't Igbo. runs away before Ileke bites off my head.

@topic,

Culture, Culture, Culture,

Been there even before the white man showed up in naija.

Just God's design.

namfav:

put all of them together and they still have not achieved what nana asma'u has
