mtisTheQubit: ~~~~Well, can you guys show us such Kenyan photos? Can we be enmeshed in such beauty and simplicity that radiates from Kenya?~~~~ **** I know the Kenyan Swahilis and Somalis may posses such, but I doubt the Kenyan Bantus and Nilotes who posses 90% of Kenyan population can. |

Nowenuse: They may not claim to be Hausas in the midst of Hausa speakers, but before non Hausa speakers they surely do. **** They defend Hausa with their lives and look or talk no different from the average Hausa man. Their not being hausa only ends on their lips, every other thing about them reeks hausa. >>>> Besides in Bauchi, many are now full blooded hausas and see and adress themselves as such. |

NairobiWalker: You just don't get the differences. ***** Hausas arabic influences came from the Hausas themselves. For instance when you see the ancient city of Kano, you can see that the style of house buildings were somehow modelled after Arabian city settings, just that it was still far below Arab standards. ~~~ This is because the Hausas themselves travelled far and wide across the middle east/North Africa and copied these things for themselves. Native hausas learnt from the Berbers/Arabs when they travelled out to Arabian/Berber lands. This is very very very different from East Africans who had their Arabic influences from native Arabs coming to their door steps to intermix with them. >>>> Bantu east Africans never knew how to navigate the Indian ocean across to the Arab world, neither did they embark on transaharan routes. Hausas on the other hand embarked on transaharan routes for centuries. The Arabs never came to hausa land. Hausas went there. |

rvp20183: Hausas are cousins of Oromos & Somalis? Hmmmm, ***** Well, perhaps, Hausas are Chadic, Oromos and Somalis are Cushitic. Well, they are both related but far apart. ~~~ The mixture of Hausas came from the fulanis who are half berber (north african) by origins. |

NairobiWalker: Mmm, actually, if that Deltan speaks Hausa as a native, has hausa/islamic names and most importantly becomes muslim and acts like a northerner. He may be considered as one. Just that his fellow Deltans may reject him And he may no longer be able to represent Delta state or claim Delta state. ****** In Tanzania, I think Swahili culture has seriously affected the hinterlands, to the extent that it doesn't matter anymore. So, I think what you should do is find out, how the majority of Kazikazi's tribal people behave. Do the majority of them now consider themselves native swahili speakers and have rapidly abandoned their cultures for swahili? If yes, then Kazikazi may have a good point. Otherwise, we can say he is just confused |

mtisTheQubit: The chances of you finding a Hausa person in Kenya are very slim, so I really don't believe this. -------There is no face of Naija. The truth is that the major difference in Nigerian faces is mostly divided into Southern & Northern Nigeria.. .... Northern Nigerians tend to have a simpler, rounder and more 'feminine' face compared to southern Nigerians. ****** However, that doesn't mean there are no simpler, rounder and feminine faces in the south and no broader faces in the north. °°°°°For instances, most Kenyans accept the faces they see on Nollywood to be the perfect representation of Nigerian faces. Forgetting that most Northerners look like this.

NairobiWalker: Yes you are right, but in most cases with the evolution of new languages, it involves a group of native speakers breaking away from the mother area and evolving new features either by interraction with others or isolation. ******* In the case of Swahili, it was somewhat the same. Just that another entirely different mix of genes, cultures and lifestyles came into the gene pool. Arabs have already evolved a more advanced trade system than East African Bantus and this was the factor that mobilized the spread of the language all around the coasts and the hinterlands. ~~~~~ So, there is absolutely no way we can absolve Arab influence and contribution from the identity and spread of swahili, it's just impossible. It was a joint Bantu-Arab affair. ¤¤¤¤ It's just like us trying to say that South African blacks are all Bantus and completely absolve the contribution of the Khoisans who even gave south african Bantu languages the unique click sounds they posses today. PS.......I'm pretty sure if Swahili was a wholly Tanzanian language you'd be praising it like it was the most awesome thing to happen to Africa. Now that you know its actual origin is Kenya, you strive to rubbish it. I thought Swahili originated all along the coasts of both Kenya & Tanzania at once? |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by genieluv(f): 12:14pm On Dec 16, 2018 |
Kazikazi: Ok NairobiWalker, let's put childishness asides and be factual. ****** Here in Nigeria, there are non hausas who now identify as Hausas because they have been subsumed under Hausa culture and language. They've abandoned their own ancestral languages and now speak hausa as a mother tongue. I think this is the exact case with Kazikazi. Many Tanzanians seem to have been subsumed by swahili language and culture, to the extent that they now see themselves as part of it. Going by this, don't you think they should be able to claim swahili nativity? Thanks. >>>> Afterall, the Arabs of North Africa and the Levantine were never originally arabs, but were arabized. Today, they claim to be arabs and the world considers them such. |

Kazikazi: Interesting. I don't think a joint East African entertainment industry has to do with Tanzanians leading Kenyans or Kenyans leading Tanzanians. ****** I think it has to be more of you guys featuring each other. Take for instance, some Ghanaian movies tend to be popular in the Nigerian market, because their movie producers feature our actors. ~~~~ Tanzanian producers can feature Kenyan actors in their movies and vice versa. Btw, I would love to ask, how popular are Nigerian movies and musics in Tanzania? |

NairobiWalker: I never argued that swahili isn't more Bantu dear. Just that without the Arabs it would never have been possible. ******* It's just like present day Hindi which was brought about by Iranian contact. Present day Hindi is now very different from Sanskrit (the original language). Get it? |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by genieluv(f): 11:51am On Dec 16, 2018 |
NairobiWalker: Lol... That's because I discovered that Swahili is not really an original identity sort of. ***** It was still somehow in the process of evolving. |

Kazikazi: Good explanation bro. It really pains Kenyans that they don't speak such beautiful swahili as Tanzanians. From my conclusion, I think Swahili is just a hybrid identity. It hasn't evolved for long. 1 Like 1 Share |
