Leo africanus was a berber explorer who visited timbuktu, hausaland cities such as kano and katsina and also visited kanem borno empire.. he wrote the first book about the description of africa in the 15th century... but the white people are hell bent on denying his visit to hausaland and borno.. maybe it might be because of the way he described the place as a highly civilized people even in the the 15th century...... leo africanus describes kano as a city of rich merchants which good across the sahara

Some yoruba words borrowed from hausa
Wahala trouble hardship
Laifi fault
Massalaci mosque
Rakumi camel
Gabas east
Kudu or gusu south
Alafia or lafia peace
Dede or daidai equally and many more

Al miskila is the word for trouble in arabic... wahala is not the word for trouble in arabic... because I can't borrow a word and use it differently for other objects

Hardship or problem in arabic is not wahala.. wahala is not yoruba word but hausa

And also since you guys claimed hausa and yoruba copied the word from arabic.. so that means the first person that had contact with arabs spread it all over.. and I dont need to tell you who had the contact first

VoslerGrimsbane:
Loooool! Who told you the hausas weren't in the picture? When did this contact occur? Smh. But we're not talking about the soninkes now are we. Is there any language similarities between you and them?

guy hausas have had contact with pretty much of the sahelian tribes from soninke,wolof,etc as early as 11 ,or ,12 century...

Wahala is not yoruba word

11.Lastly the hausa people have an equestrian based culture . Horses are highly valued in hausa culture.. horse are a way of showing status and affluence

Mr swahili lets do the calculations..nigeria is a nation of almost 180 million.. lets say 80 million in the north speak hausa add that with almost 20 million of niger republic.. add with almost 6 million in northern ghana, add with cameroon,togo,benin,sudan,chad,ivorycoast, etc

alanmwene:
So to speak the truth is to be a hater?How many people speak hausa compare to Swahili?Wiith Tanzania(40millions) and Kenya(36 millions) you already have ways more people speaking Swahili than hausa.Then add Drc,uganda,zambia,comores.....etc...Don't forget that 3 out of 4 Somalis speak Swahili and a lot of Ethiopians as well.Beauty wise there is no contest between Swahili and hausa.Swahili wins hand down!

Idiot before islam we already have our own civilizations

shota:
Before the Soninke brought Islam and civilization to the Hausas were the Hausas wearing cloths ?
At what time did the Hausas start to wear cloths ?

They are the soninke people of the famous mali empire

shota:
Who were the Malians that brought Islam to Kano or influenced Kanoans to adopt Islam ? Were they not Fulanis or Tuaregs ?

drss:

am talking of outside nigeria... but you can go to abuja to see for yourself who are the owners of the most luxury houses,cars etc

So dangote is a sycophant?? Ranting of a poor envious mind

olumide81:
'at least' u said and to the question, my parents union created just four issues who hold societal values with high esteem and dont come all out as sycophants.

Haha yet whenever a list of most richest people is out northerners dominate it... you see the way media portrays poverty in the north is just a lie. Although they are poor people everywhere the difference is our poor,people chose to be almajiri while yours choose 419,drug dealing,ritualist,kidnappers etc

Na lie.. even here where am schooling just the estate northerners are staying is a no go area for other nigerians...

Dangote commissions Tanzania cement plant in October
n Dangote Cement Factory at Obajana in Kogi State
Africa’s foremost cement manufacturer, Dangote Cement is set to commission its new 3.0 million metric tonnes per annum cement plant located in Mtwara District of Tanzania on October 10, 2015.
The company will also hold the ground-breaking ceremony for 25 hectares of jetty land at Mgao village in Mtwara District in the country the same day.
The commissioning of the new cement plant, which is part of the company’s Africa expansion strategy, will be the fourth in the series after Ethiopia, Zambia and Cameroun. Cement plants due for commissioning this year are located in Senegal and South Africa, while construction works are ongoing in several other African countries.
The ground-breaking for the Tanzanian cement plant was done on May 27, 2013 and within 24 months, the plant is now ready for commissioning. With the plant in operation, Tanzania is on its way to become one of the African countries which are self-sufficient in cement production.
Governments and distinguished Africans have been commending the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote for his massive investments across Africa. Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, at the commissioning of the plant in Zambia, lauded Dangote on his investments in several African countries, saying the Nigerian government was proud of him.
Osinbajo, who described Aliko Dangote as an exceptional African entrepreneur, commended his phenomenal vision, entrepreneurship and commitment to the development of Africa and Africans.
The VP said, “Dangote is a Nigerian from Kano State, and a pan-Nigerian and pan-African who has done us all proud. His companies spread over 16 African countries are a signal of an African multinational enterprise.”
Cameroonian President, Paul Biya, at the commissioning of the 1.5 million metric tonnes per annum Dangote Cement grinding plant in Douala, thanked Dangote for his massive investments in cement plants across Africa. Biya expressed delight that Dangote has shown a willingness to play a significant role in the industrialization of the Cameroonian economy.
Zambian President, Edgar Lungu who also praised Dangote’s business ingenuity, said “his business expansion across Africa is worthy of emulation by African businessmen in the task of continental development.”
To Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, Dangote has spurred the industrialization of many African economies through the establishment of integrated cement plants, which are geared towards making those countries self-sufficient in cement production.

We are not talking of states with a sprinkling of super rich men and a cast majority of almajiri.

idiot can't you know that kano is a leader in all facets why still maintaining its status as the states with richest number of billonaires.. as well as state with high proportion of poor people because of its population... can you tell me a billionaire from your state.. you dont know the people of kano when it comes to money

Kano state for sure most be among

Kano
Lagos
Anambra
Kano state has alot of silent billionaires is just that they don't show off..besides some of the richest people and richest family are from kano... kano state is the only state with 2 forbes billionaires out of 5 for Nigeria in 2015

Many idiots don't know hausa had been muslims since the 10th century it wasn't fulani that brought islam to hausa rather it was the soninke of mali... fulani never brought anything to hausa because even at the time they arrive nigeria we were already far ahead.. that's some of the fulani assimilate themselves into hausa culture language etc
