@op since when did it become an achievement traveling abroad,all I see is inferiority complex worrying you.
Me for instance,I have vowed not to travel outside the country to hustle,I prefer to hustle here and go abroad to relax,for business reason,holidays and so on,but to go and hustle there,no way.

Why should they? They have green pastures all around them. Even a child in JSS 2 in the North has his own plot(s) of land to grow GREENEST PASTURES.

I met a Hausa that was driving Taxi in Chicago in ~2008.

I saw a hausa graduate that was a contract teacher in Yola in 2000 on a salary of 4k monthly which was even worse than NYSC allowee.

There are less fortunate/marginalised people over there too like the Christian North but they've learned to not complain or suffer further humiliation.

To answer the question in a fair minded and objective way;

1) The world views of most Hausa-Fulanis are quite different from that of the Southerners.

Most Hausa-Fulanis strongly believe in FATE, that what will be will eventually be, thus they easily accept what comes their ways. They aren't driven by strong desires to effect changes through drastic measures like leaving their loved ones behind and traveling to hustle among strange cultures of Europe/USA,Canada and other parts of the world which will necessitate dropping/changing some of their cultural values in order to blend with the culture of their host countries.


2) Few educated and westernized Northerners travel abroad but mostly to study and immediately after their studies, they return to their homelands to take-up prime Gov't Jobs and wait patiently for 10-15 years to become the bosses in Public Service.

You need to understand that these tribes have different worldviews.

Igbos , unlike the Hausa-Fulanis, don't subscribe to the concept of FATE, thus they are willing to do anything to change their conditions and when they succeed, they love to show off to the less fortunate ones, that they have 'arrived'

igbos are capitalist and hausas socialist. Hausas believe in small measure, contentment, having little is a virtue. Igbos are the opposite, thats why an igbo man is never satisfied. Even in abroad, they still want more.

Northerners don't usually go to the West or non Islamic countries. They go to Islamic countries like African countries and Middle East. Due to language and religion.

It is not accurate to make a blanket statement about the entire Hausa ethnic group and their attitudes towards seeking opportunities outside their home country. Hausa people, like any other ethnic group, have diverse opinions and experiences, and their individual circumstances and motivations for migration vary. and you need a shopping [url="https://gethotdeals.co.uk/"]Get Hot Deals [/url]

However, it is worth noting that Hausa people have a rich cultural and historical heritage in Nigeria, particularly in the northern region, which may contribute to a strong attachment to their homeland. Additionally, many Hausa people have established businesses, networks, and communities in their local areas, which may make it challenging to leave and start anew in a foreign country.

Furthermore, economic and political factors also play a significant role in determining whether individuals or groups seek opportunities outside their country. Nigeria has a large and growing population, and the country's economy is diversified, with opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing, and services sectors. However, the country also faces challenges such as poverty, corruption, and political instability, which can make it difficult for people to thrive and reach their full potential.

Overall, the decision to seek opportunities outside one's home country is complex and multifaceted and depends on individual circumstances and motivations. It is essential to avoid generalizations and recognize that people's experiences and perspectives are diverse and nuanced.

Op, I hope this your post was made with the right intentions.

However to educate you on the questions you asked.

The Hausas/Northerners don't rush to go abroad because of the following reasons...

*The have government at their beck&call....they enjoy the Nigerian government benefits such as jobs, contracts, appointments& social supports more than any other tribe/region
*They don't have large educated population range like the south to compete abroad
*They are content somehow because they are lesser moved by money or materialism hence their lower involvement in crimes.
*However, their contentment is not seen when they handle government positions as they are the must corrupt of government officials, who steal so much from the nation.
*They are many abroad by most southerners don't notice....due to the fact that they are not loud people...you can find them in large numbers in some west African countries, North Africa, Arab nations of middle east, UK and few in U.S.
Those of them in countries outside Africa are those of them from rich homes.
The good thing about them is that they are always eager to return home immediately they are done with what took them outside.
Many people don't know but Northerners(Hausa/Fulani) are some of the most travelled people of Nigeria.
*As for crime, they commit it too... however the north operates this unwritten policy of 'cover up'....so they cover up themselves and are quick to help themselves come out of crimes.
They use government covering to its fullest extent and the AREWA community influence maximally.
The AREWA community is a very very strong body outside Nigeria and their use their connection well enough...in some cases involving Nigerian government officials discreetly for their gain(something these official will most probably not do if it is a southerner).
*In all, the help themselves alot, most of them have jobs and government opportunities already secured for them ahead of other people from the south.
As a northern once you manage to go to school, even with a poor result, he/she will easily secure a job...to the extent alot of them have government jobs& receive salaries even while still in schools.
Go to all Nigerian government ministries, parastatals, agencies, commissions, embassies and co and see for yourself.
They dominate positions and employment opportunities there.
Even as we speak alot of them are getting government jobs& opportunities with ease secretly even before people from the south hears of such opportunities or jobs.

With all these, why would they be interested in going to the abroad?

The writer made mention of culture, yes every Region be it Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba have their culture and this culture effect the way they migrate for example Hausa's are nomadic in nature, meaning they are pasturalist their business is mainly in rearing cow and farming. It's only few that go to school hence does not farm and sometimes find their way to abroad for either schooling or business and these are mostly the children of their rich men.
In other hand Igbo's are known for their business, hence it gives them the opportunity to travel round the world for their businesses.

Yoruba's are known for their been able to go to school and pursue knowledge hence this also takes them to abroad.
