This is a nice thread. But 'Hausa' has absorbed so many other tribes that real Hausa is hard to define and is a very small minority of what is 'Hausa' today. Im not sure the population of original 'Hausa' was that big anyway. If you look at other 'chadic speakers/groups' like 'tangale' or 'margi' they are very small under 200k. In fact i think orginal Fulani outnumber orginal Hausa.

What made Hausa big and spread the language is Islam, Once you speak Hausa and are a Muslim you are accepted in simple as that. Its a bit like being 'Arab'. So many people will claim they are 'Hausa' now including people whose parents are not even 'hausa'. For example a boy whose dad is fulani and mum is ebira living in Adamawa may only speak 'Hausa' langauge. Or a girl whose dad is fulani but mum is Kanuri will speak only Hausa.

So to me Hausa is an umbrella term for many different 'black' Muslim ethnicties i.e Hausa, Fulani, Tuareg, Kanuri, Arab etc who communicate in Hausa language.

Graduate Stabs Self To Death In Lagos

Residents of Wole Madariola Street, Aguda, Surulere, Lagos have been asking questions about what pushed Chidike Oyeka, a graduate of Madonna University, Anambra, to stab himself repeatedly thereby taking his own life.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the Chidike on April 19, 2013, took a kitchen knife and stabbed himself repeatedly until his intestines were disembowelled.

Our correspondent, who visited his parents’ home where the incident occurred, learnt that the victim recently concluded his National Youth Service Corps programme.

A relative, who wished to remain anonymous, said the 25-year-old had been depressed for some time.

She said, “He did his NYSC in Delta State and only returned in February. Upon returning, he started to act strangely and we noticed that he was no longer sociable. Most times he would sit at a corner by himself and when we asked him what was wrong, he would say he was not happy.

“When the symptom became persistent, his parents took him to a hospital but nothing was discovered to be wrong with him, so we took him back home and continued to monitor him.”

Narrating what transpired on the day the victim died, the relative said it happened after everyone had gone to sleep.

She said he went into the kitchen, took a kitchen knife and stabbed himself three times.

She said, “I do not know the time it happened exactly but everyone had gone to bed while he stayed in the parlour. Around midnight, he was found lying in a pool of blood and the knife soaked in blood.

“His intestines were on the floor as well. From what we deduced, he stabbed himself three times without screaming because no one heard any noise. At daybreak, we went to Aguda Police Station to report the matter.”

A neighbour, who craved anonymity, said the deceased had once complained that one of the reasons why he was unhappy wasthat he was unemployed.

He said people advised him to be patient since he had only just completed his NYSC.

Our correspondent, who visited the parents’ home on Sunday, saw residents coming in droves to console the family particularly the victim’s mother.

Another resident, while consoling the deceased’s parents, said the family should have taken him to see a psychologist instead of a general medical practitioner when he complained of depression.

Mrs. Oyeka however said the circumstance surrounding her son’s death was metaphysical. She said she had left the matter to God but was pained that all her struggles to bring up her son were in vain.

“He was my first born and we did all to make him happy but sadly he took his own life. We counseled him on numerous occasions but this did not prevent him from committing suicide.

“I do not think someone can stab himself to death except he is under spell. I leave everything to God because He knows best.”

Meanwhile, it was learnt that the deceased would be buried on Thursday.

When contacted on the telephone, the acting spokesperson for the state police command, Damascus Ozoani, said the matter could not yet be classified as suicide until autopsy was concluded.

“Although the family claimed he killed himself, the police will have to do their own independent investigation to ascertain what really happened. We will wait for the outcome of the autopsy and this will determine our next line of action,” he said

RIP young one.

ekt_bear: Are a muthafuckin b1tch.

That is all

LMAO you dey complain ? come to london and See how good you yanks have it relatively. We dey pey like $9 a gallon for petrol ooo.

women should work if they want. BUT their priority should be their children and husband not a 'career'.

cap28: This list does nothing but instil low self esteem in the average african woman - its merely an attempt by the white power structure to get africans to accept that their beauty is inferior to that of caucasians - ask yourself why no true black woman with african facial features is on that list.

It also teaches the black woman that to be beautiful you must be light skinned and have light long hair with light eyes (beyonce and rhianna)

The thing is there are millions of african indigenous people with the so called 'Caucasian features' living in Africa lol. But people will say they are mixed or have arab blood. nawa o.

Claus: ...and the assertion that the white/light skinned woman with the long straight hair is the most beautiful continues. Not a single dark skinned woman in the entire list!

Now wonder Brazilian hair and bleaching creams are flying off the shelf in Naija. Anyway, maybe it's our fault. We too should come out with our beautiful list to include dark skinned women with a variety of black hairstlyes that we can be proud of.

How much of the media is owned by 'non whites' very little. Of course they will promote their own. Instead of Naija to be a leading Media hub for Africa we sit and copy oyinbo. smh.

lol any of Yaraduas daughters are finer than anyone on this list o.

pleep: Men would win the gender war in seconds if we actually started fighting... right now we are just starting to wake up

feminism is pushing us dangerously close to the breaking point.

Thats part of the reason why they waging wars on these muslim countries in the name of human rights/female rights. Because in these countries the man and the female know their roles. In the West the line is blurred.

If you notice TV programs act to put men down, make men look weak, ridicule them. Its not acceptable for a man to be a man he must be feminized, while the women are being masculanised. Then when these females find they aren't satisfied or they want a real man they wonder why they cant get one. Women have been programmed to be gentle, soft and forgiving, It is for that reason they can give birth multiple times. If it was a man, after 1 birth he would say no more! We are not the same and never will be.

Lol @ feminism no such thing in islam. If you don't want husband to be head of house. Marry oyinbo who you can order about and direct.

Oyinbo are here crying they want submissive women that's why a lot will marry from abroad lol. Their gals have been confused and that's why you have a total break down of family espically in UK. Kids having Kids no father in the house because the women are to busy wanting 50/50 or going tottally independent, with the government performing some of the fatherly functions instead of a real man!

Yield: Wow...

She's pointing to her belly. Is she pregnant for him too?

yes ooooo.

Married actor, Solomon Akiyesi, left his eight months pregnant wife in Port Harcourt and came to Lagos to marry his pregnant mistress (pictured above at their wedding this morning)...a lady who's from a rich home. I sent someone to the church to take photos. I'm hoping to speak with Lilian later. See the photos after the cut... wedding was canceled

Nawa for this Naija ooo

ezeagu: Egypt is the second largest country in Africa. Everywhere Hausa is spoken, there is also a presence, if not a dominance, of the Arabic language. The Hausa language itself has loaned many words from Arabic.

Correct Id say up to 1/3 rd is arabic derived.

stonebridge: So looking white is very beautiful and looking dark is ugly?

To me the finest girls are dark. Redish/black dark colour. Me I prefer that one pass 'yellow' or white sef. If you dey see some of these very white oyinbo girls with no makeup you will be thannking god for dark african ladies.

sweet_gala: Exactly. The Hausa/Fulani language and culture is not exclusive to Nigeria . Chad,Cameroon,Libya and as far away as Ghana have a reasonable population of individuals who can identify with the Hausa /Fulani ethnolinguistic grouping

Fulani language is different to hausa. Hausa/fulani applies in nigeria and Niger. Those other countries fulani's only speak fula lang.
But nigeria has more fulanis than any other country.

hausa has incoporated so many other ethnic groups including fulani that there isn't really a tribe called hausa anymore. But there is a tribe called fulani.

sai oga Ali. Ranka ya dede.

I remember that time you visited our house in UK some years ago very humble guy. 10 Years with marriage as well

Me_Aboki: @OP:
As you wish, I will also pray that no Muslim/Hausa girl accepts you because they as Muslims are forbidden to marry (let alone date) outside the religion of Islam.
Pls stay away from them, do not approach them and corrupt them with your ungodly ways.
However, should you do that and get caught, it would not displease me at all to hear that those boko boys had indeed sliced you're blokos in three.
A trial may convince you, foolish boy.

hahaha. Maybe he is muslim? and If not maybe one Hausa girl can convert him?

nice!

VillageBoi: She can go... she's an eediot! Maybe she becomes a zombie and tries to unite humans/zombies - ie 'brainless'!
There had better be a war... 3 more episodes of 'talking heads' and I quit.
I'm counting on there being a season 4 & 5 at least. I'll be bored of it by season 7 lol.

There is season 4.
