...and the North where he comes from has the highest poverty and illiteracy rates. He should commit part of his resources to projects that will make a difference in their lives. There's so much dependence on foreign donors while our rich flaunt their wealth which is mostly rooted in undue advantage and privileged circumstances.

Of course he does his bit but a lot more needs to be done instead of simply concentrating his efforts on preserving the family wealth as he said recently.
Na mental poverty dey worry the North, they prefer Madrasa/ ilekewu to free education. Tell how those lots can be helped

Not really, cos those tribes I listed are like 35% of the state. They are the Chadic speakers who from my calculations immigrated to the Plateau about 1000 years ago during the Kanuri expansion into present day Northeast Nigeria.

My ethnic group, and other ethnic groups like the Rons & Beroms who speak Platoid languages are of a much older origin on the Plateau and are very different even from each other but with little similarities. The Taroks are like a hybrid between the Aboriginal Platoid speakers and Chadic speakers. People in Bassa area are of same stock with their neighbors in Lere part of Southern Kaduna. In summary it is a big Mish mash up grin.

In southern Kaduna, the Platoid speakers are the majority, that is the Katafs, Bajjus, Gong, Fanstuam, Kaninkon, Aticherak e.t.c and they understand themselves to an extent.

In the future, I will study more about these things. We can recreate a single central language for Plateau & Southern Kaduna, but it will have to be a merger of at least 4 language groups and will be very confusing.



Between Isoko & Urhobo, the difference between various Urhobo dialects is the same difference between any Urhobo dialect and Isoko.
Okpe is as different from Ughelli dialect as Isoko is different from Uvwie dialect. ... These things are very very fluid.
Quite diverse I must say. But since most tribes have been there for a long time, population is supposed to be on the high, I read somewhere that every village in gwoza borno state speaks a different language .How did the plateau tribes survive the jihad

Christianity EtcRe: Indigenous Hausa Christians Of Kano Mark Christmas by darfay: 7:04pm On Dec 27, 2019
Nowenuse:
The north is not diverse except for the area you see encircled in red in the map below.

Hausas, Fulanis, Kanuris, Shuwa Arabs, Nupes, Gbagyis, Igalas, Ebiras, Idomas, Tivs & Borgu/Baribas are all at least 1 million to tens of millions of people each.

The area encircled in red is very diverse because it is a highly mountainous and hilly terrain which acts as a natural defense and isolation between tribes, hence giving room for longer evolution and isolation with this.
In anthropologist evolutions, it is common knowledge that mountainous areas usually tend to have a higher diversities and longer surviving languages because the mountains tend to serve as a great source of refuge to weaker civilizations and barrier to invading forces.

Didn't you see that butt naked tribes were still discovered in Adamawa & even Bauchi just few decades ago? This is because they are on the high mountains and hardly came down.

Most tribes in Plateau, Nasarawa, Southern Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa, Southern Borno, Gombe, Bauchi are very much related to one another. They just weren't unified by the colonialists cos the colonial masters were interested in a Hausa fulani hegemony over these tribes and uniting them of course will make them stronger and much more resistant to Hausanization and Islamization.

Otherwise, in Plateau for example, the difference between Ngas, Mwaghavul, Mupun, Mushere, Pan, Goemai, Miship,Montol, Pyapun & Tal is just like the difference between Isoko, Uvwie, Okpe, Udu, Agbon, and Ughelli speakers of Urhobo, or betters still Ekiti, Awori, Ijebu, Igbomina, Oyo, Egba of Yoruba.
That means there is a possibility of having a unified/central standard dialect created for the plateau tribes...
BTW I think the isoko and urhobo constitute a dialect continuum, but asides language every other thing is 100% same
Christianity EtcRe: Indigenous Hausa Christians Of Kano Mark Christmas by darfay: 5:15pm On Dec 27, 2019
Thank you for making my point. However they are from sub northern ethnic groups not hausa sub ethnic groups. Hausa is an evolved identity, if you havent gone through that evolution, you dont qualify.
Ethnicity is never based on religion, you sound slow

Like you or someone else said on this thread, Maguzawa people were a clan of pre-islamic Hausa people who were never Islamized by Danfodio.
If they are not Hausa, what tribe are they and how come they are found in the middle of Hausa land? Hausa is the only language and culture they have.
Do they speak a distinct dialect?

Alfredo1 was clearly wrong here, thanks for your correction.
The minority tribes in the north clearly outnumber even Hausas & Fulanis combined, let alone Hausa alone.

Besides, even Kebbi state is a 50/50 between Hausas and other tribes. Infact, Hausas will be a minority of u don't add Fulanis to their population.

The entire Kebbi south senatorial district with 7 LGAs is predominantly non Hausa (although Yauri people have been Hausanized). You have many Zarmas and fulani LGAs in the central and northern parts of the state.
But why is the North so linguistically diverse. There are supposed to be at 3 ethnic group with at least a million people


Who are the real hsusas if everybody in the north seem to be a northern minority
Christianity EtcRe: Indigenous Hausa Christians Of Kano Mark Christmas by darfay: 4:39pm On Dec 27, 2019

Lol, Plateau and Taraba are even too far. Let's start with Southern Kaduna & Adamawa.

In the whole of Jaba & Zangon Kataf LGAs in Southern Kaduna, there is no mosque. All Muslims were chased out in 2011 from both LGAs.

In Adamawa north, Michika LGA chased out all Muslims from there. Same with Numan, Lamurde & Guyuk, although few have managed to come back and remain in Numan.

In Bauchi south, all Muslims were chased out of Bogoro LGA and Tafawa balewa town during the crisis between Sayawa and Hausawa.

Most of these religious cleansings happen due to ethnic crisis.

In Plateau state, there are at least 4 LGAs without a mosque and in Taraba state, Muslims are not allowed into Wukari ( the largest city in the state), they are only allowed on the outskirts of the town.

That of Benue cannot even be discussed cos it is 98% Christian as a state. Islam only penetrated 1 LGA in the state which is Agatu LGA and many of them have reverted to Christianity, so Christians are now majority even in Agatu LGA.

FamilyRe: Arewa Twitter Users Call Out Saudi Arabia For Banning Under 18 Marriage by darfay: 12:12pm On Dec 27, 2019
jahsharon:
Marriage as an institution existed before religion. Therefore, religion cannot determine marriage. That being said, any full grown adult that is sexually attracted to children is dangerous to the society and should be kept behind the bars. If a 14 years old boy is sleeping with his 14 years girl classmate, that is juvenile delinquency, anything outside that is serious criminal offense and should be treated as such.

Least you forget, I am a Muslim. Note however, that are several church goers, definitely not Christians that sleep with children. This is very pronounced in the Catholic Church, not forgetting Biodun Gucci Fatoyinbo too, they should all be behind the bars.
This has nothing to do with Christianity, face your problems and leave others out of it
