Hey,

Ina gaisuwa fa! yaya muke a nan.
It's great getting all of us that are friends of the north and northerners. I sensed a lot of hatred of northerners on a thread called"Why do northern muslims marry their 1st cousins?."

I was able to research and bring out facts from the US, UK, and the Bible that it is not peculiar to muslims alone. but some people are hell bent on "player hating" and playing the hate game.

I believe in one Nigeria where we all respect each others' religion, beliefs and way of life. just because my way, language, religion is different doesn't make me bad.

If you agree please respond to the thread under "GENERAL DISCUSSION"/CULTURE. Let's set things straight. We don't need tribalists or fanatics.

Hey question; are the Fulani and Tuareg related, as in they used to be one big group until those who remained the Fulani began to Urbanize while the group that refused to became known as the Tuareg?

Also, it's said that Amina was a ruthless butcher, and a slut. A Hausa professor told me this back in Uni. He said that she is nothing to be proud of amongst the Hausa people, in that "she did nothing but butcher and sleep around with different men in here journeys. Her death was greeted with standing ovation"? shocked Is this true?

@ hero I don't know,but it looks like this issue of any woman attaining a position of power being branded ruthless & a slut is an old story I remember cleopatra had d same issues.the goddesses in greek mythology too.I beg u men shld stop fearing,I'm sure its because of these kind of often baseless accussations dt condoleeza rice has only had one love affair in her life.men for don brand her too.a man can have 20 women in his & remain a saint ba?I'm not into polyandry but naija men shld stop being facetious.

Re: Sanu Nku Jamaa [Hausa-speaking thread] by NegroNtns(m): 10:37pm On Jun 16, 2008
Capone,

I will share a story with you. A man went on a trip across country riding on his donkey. He came passing by a group of people resting underneath a baobab tree. Seeing him on top of the donkey they queried his wisdom and asked if he did not know that riding that donkey that far was hazardous to the donkey's life. So the man got off the donkey and started walking beside it. Further on, he came to the water hole where there were some men sitting by the bank. On approaching they queried his wisdom and asked if he was stupid for walking that far while his donkey traveled bare back. Upon refreshing with water, he bode them farewell and jumped right on the donkey's back.
At this stage of the journey the man had done some trading enroute and has a huge load sitting behind him on the donkey. Further on he again came upon a group of men travelling in the opposite direction. They stopped him in his tracks. Whatttt! Have you lost your senses? Do you want to kill this poor donkey? Why is it carrying such a huge load on its back?

The moral of the story is this, it will not matter what you do, there is always something to pick on and criticize. It is human nature. Ignore the critics' tongue and relish in the praises of admirers. I'm sure there are things that Northerners criticize about the Yorubas and the Ibos. I am sure there counter criticisms between the Ibos and the Yorubas. We are all humans and should not be sensitive to these issues, we should stay above the fray and hold tight to the common goodwill that bond all of us together as a people, as Nigerians.

Ubangiji ya kyaye mu.
