It was Fulanis that brought cloths to the Hausa..They were just primitive and naked before Fulanis brought cloths to them and imposed Arabic culture on them. Amina was one of such Arab leaders that led and organized the Hausas.

idiot do you think the baba riga is hausa or fulani? Have you had of the oldest dye pits in the world which is in kano

The Head of Nigerian delegation for this year's Hajj and Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, has urged pilgrims to accept the arrangement which the Saudi Authorities have put in place over the symbolic stoning of the devil at Jamrat.

A statement issued by the Kaduna Hajj 2015 Media Team quoted Amirul Hajj Sanusi as saying that performing the stoning of the devil in batches and spreading the time for the Islamic rite to include the period of Zawal (sun rise) is necessary to protect the lives of pilgrims.

The statement further said that the Emir noted that "on many occasion, pilgrims have been killed at the stoning site from stampede arising out of thousands of pilgrims converging to do the throwing at the same time, among number of causes."

Emir Sanusi II recalled that 266 pilgrims had died in 1994 while 98 others were injured at the stoning site that year. 10 years later, 251 pilgrims died in 2004 and in 2006, 346 had also lost their lives.

According to him, "All these incidents happened at the Jamarat. The frequency and sheer enormity necessitated the following arrangement of the concerned authority, by performing the ritual in a way that will protect human life."

The Emir argued that if lives will be protected by performing the ritual before sun rise, then one of the fundamental objectives of Sharia will be fulfilled at the level of absolute necessities.

Hausa produce the first black multi millonaire in the person of alhassan dantata.. and also the first black african billionaires and current richest man.. hausa people are great merchants who transverse the sahara for centuries

No hausa people in this list... the list looks more stupid with inclusion of akan.. hausa people had been long distance traders since ancient times.. that's why kurmi market is the oldest market in africa and southern most point of the transaharan trade.. hausa people had always produce richest people in africa from dantata,dangote,bua,mutallab etc

ArodewilliamsT:
Hausas were the first conquered slaves in nigeria with fulani emirates, followed by yoruba. A popular fulani man once said that hausas and northern yoruba are grateful to Allah for sending fulani to come conquer them.
Pure Fulanis see hausas as their subject, they take "capture" hausa women but hardly give their daughters to the hausa subjects. To them it is a way of conquering. You know, when prophet mohammed conquered cities he took the women.
Many fulani will never call themselves hausas but the hausa subjects like quotasystem want to be fulani(master race) so they call themselves Hausa-fulani.

stupidest clown of century... how many hausa you know that have fulani mother.. even buhari mother is hausa so what do you mean? Even my mom is fulani my dad hausa but there is no distinction between us...the problem is most people posting of northern nigeria are very ignorant of the place...

Demographics of katsina

Katsina is a hausa state not fulani

gumaveddy:
to mention just a few where is yara'dua from? Where is buhari from?

buhari is from daura the heartland of hausa people.. yaradua from katsina.. so just because of two people you termed katsina as a fulani dominated state.. by this your logic almost all states in northern nigeria are fulani dominated since they is significant population of fulani in each state but in the minority

Non of the states in hausaland which is roughly northwest Nigeria plus southern niger republic.. non of the cities from katsina,kano,gobir,hadejia.. maradi and zinder in niger republic.. non of them is a fulani state... katsins had been ruled by hausa kings from 10th until 18th century after the jihad.. when the hausa king was expelled to maradi in niger republic

gumaveddy:
bro do same research katsina, gombe, adamawa are pure dominated by fulani

don't tell me nonsense which research when am from katsina.. for others I agree but not my kt.. what do you know about ta dikko? Katsina since ancient times is one of the 7 hausa city states.. katsina is hausa dominated state

theDEVILisHERE:
As long as the people are okay with the situation then its fine
Still think it will be proper for the Hausas and other northern ethnic groups to rediscover their true leadership as well as other aspects of their missing cultural identity
Also think the fulani excesses should be checked so they do subjugate other groups

true leadership? All those are hausa in our eyes so we have no problem with that.. which cultural identity? hausa culture is firm our culture is alive fulani people are turning to hausa culture daily.. I think fulani had to do something before their culture is wiped out by hausa.. just imagine even the name fulani is hausa to show you how much influence we have on those guys

I still maintain my stance we hausa people don't care about the ethnicity of the person ruling as far as he speak hausa and practice hausa culture.. they are not the only minority people we have ibb ,gwari ,gowon angas,abacha kanuri etc we have no problem with others leading our cause..that been said no matter what buhari has more in common with me a hausa from lets say kano than a fulani from adamawa

Which katsina is fulani? Are you out of you senses? Katsina had always been a hausa dominated state since more than 1000years have you had of daura in katsina the origin of hausa people

gumaveddy:
i know but katsina, adamawa and ....is predominet by fulani while there are mixed in some state

??

theDEVILisHERE:
Those leaders where still Fulani's though they might not be able to speak their native language

after all.. all those so called fulani promote hausa agenda not fulani one.. they have no concern for the well being of fulani thats why fulani are the poorest in northern nigeria... their only grace is to embrace hausa culture language and assimilate... mind you we have no problem other ethnic groups leading us as far as they are fully hausanized eg abdulsalam nupe, gowon angas,etc

theDEVILisHERE:
That absolutely true
They seem to be living in the shadows of the Fulani hegemony who conquered them

the reverse is the case no fulani speaking president had ever rule nigeria..

omonnakoda:
OK but this thread is about President and where they come from

did any president come from any fulani land? Can you tell me one nigerian president who has no hausa blood or great affinity to hausa? All those presidents from buhari to shagari had more in common to hausa than fulani.. language and culture wise

Is not true that hausa leave on fulani shadow... rather it is the fulani that leave on hausa glory.. they use our system of government,they promote our culture , speak our language eat out food and gradually assimilated into hausa... let me tell you civilizations wise we are hausa are not on same pedestal with fulani.. from our architecture,city walls,our mode of dressing etc... immediately fulani settle land in hausaland they switch to higher hausa civilizations

omonnakoda:
Adamawa is what?

is adamawa among the states that matters in the north All states that matter are hausa dominated or at most by other tribes who are hausa culturally and everything

As far as you are fully assimilated we take you as one... why do you think all those presidents speak hausa as first language,,why is that almost all richest people in the north are hausa from dangote,dantata,abdulsamad etc

Lol we hausa dont mind as far as you can speak hausa thats o.k for us.. mind you to hausa people from buhari,yaradua,ibb,etc to us are hausa because culturally they are hausa to us... the real rulers of northern nigeria are from the hausafulani faction not hausa or fulani... hope you know shekarau a minority babur tribe ruled over kano a hausa dominated state.. our policy is that of assimilation

The governor further revealed that the state government has plans to ban farming and developing buildings in some of the forests in the state. Indicating that there was a critical need to protect forests from encroachment.

Listing some of his achievements, Ganduje said under an empowerment scheme, some youth were sent to Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN) to be trained as motor mechanics, others were sponsored on entrepreneurial training and 250 were trained on Information Communication Technology. 150 youth were sent to Panda Agricultural Centre to learn agricultural schemes, among others.

On ensuring accountability and good governance, he revealed that preparation was on to send a Bill on Due Process Bureau to the state House of Assembly for consideration to be enacted into a law, for proper administration of the state affairs.

“This will ensure accountability and proper governance in the state. I want to use this opportunity to also remind our state functionaries that we will not spare anybody found wanting for corruption, “ Ganduje stated.

Meanwhile, the state Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission received 200 complaints from aggrieved members of the public within 100 days of Governor Ganduje’s administration.

The Executive Chairman of the Commission, Alhaji Muhuyi Magaji, made the disclosure while briefing newsmen on the achievements of the Commission in Kano on Monday.

He said out of the number, 23 cases were resolved while 33 were referred to agencies and that more than 150 were still pending.

Magaji said that the complaints were mainly on marital, rights protection and promotion issues as well as anti-corruption matters.

The chairman attributed the increase in the number of cases to the confidence people had in the new leadership of the commission.

‘’The commission recorded 500 percent increase in the number of complaints, compared with previous years. This, I believe is due to the confidence members of the public have in the new leadership of the commission.”

He assured that the commission would continue to discharge its duties without fear in accordance with the rules and regulations.

‘’The essence of establishing the commission in the state is to complement what the Federal Government is doing with regards to fighting corruption in the country.”

Magaji also disclosed that the commission was currently investigating the state’s road traffic agency and some Shari’a courts over alleged diversion of revenue by some officials.

He assured that the outcome of the investigations would be made public.

ABOUT one hundred herdsmen are to be sponsored to Turkey for training on modern rearing techniques and artificial insemination by the Kano State government.
This was disclosed by the state governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, at the weekend during an event marking his 100 days in office.

He added that the state government decided to assist the cattle farmers to teach them modern method of rearing to boost their economic activities.

Ganduje emphasised that his administration would do everything possible to strengthen the potentials of the cattle rearers as a way to reduce the incessant clashes between them and farmers over grazing issues.

“We selected some 100 children of our pastoralists to take part in this new programme. The scheme will be a continuous one,” he disclosed.

Yeah I can see but not in a way that hausa and kanuri people have an equestrian based culture.. especially my hausa people.. you know that because of our culture is majorly centered around horses we have our indigenous breed of horse known as dan arewa... because of our famous horse culture it has become a symbol of hausaland or hausa people to show men on horseback in picture,films etc. The greatest gift a hausa can give a visiting president or head of state is a horse with full regalia.. lastly the horse is to hausa people what the cattle is to the fulani and what the camel is to the taureg

dasihiki in hausa means yar ciki or danciki which means inner shirt

dashiki is a type of cloth

The Dashiki is a colorful garment for both men and women widely worn in Africa that covers the top half of the body. It has formal and informal versions and varies from simple draped clothing to fully tailored suits. A common form is a loose-fitting pullover garment, with an ornate V-shaped collar, and tailored and embroidered neck
Etymology[edit]
The name Dashiki is derived from the Hausa word ʼyar̃ ciki, which means shirt. It is usually worn with a brimless Kufi cap which is worn in Islamic communities in Africa and the African diaspora, and a pair of pants.

History in the West[edit]
The Dashiki was made popular in the western parts of the world by Oba (Yoruba word for king) Ofuntola Oseijeman Adelabu Adefunmi, who was born Walter Eugene in Detroit, Michigan, USA in 1928. He became interested in African Studies at the age of 16, and travelled to Haiti at the age of 20 in order to be exposed to African religion from indigenous Africans. Soon after, he returned to the U.S. and began a small scale manufacturing business which included African attire, most notably dashikis.[citation needed]

Versions[edit]
The informal version is a traditional print or embroidered dashiki. Three formal versions exist. The first type, consists of a dashiki, sokoto (drawstring trousers), and a matching kufi. This style is called a dashiki suit or dashiki trouser set and it is the attire worn by most grooms during wedding ceremonies. The second version consists of an ankle-length shirt, matching kufi, and sokoto and is called a Senegalese kaftan. The third type consists of a dashiki, and matching trousers. A flowing gown is worn over these. This type is called a Grand boubou or an Agbada.

There are several different styles of dashiki suits available from clothing stores. The type of shirt included in the set determines the name. The traditional dashiki suit includes a thigh-length shirt. The short sleeve, traditional style is preferred by purists. A long dashiki suit includes a shirt that is knee-length or longer. However, if the shirt reaches the ankles, it is a Senegalese kaftan. Finally, the lace dashiki suit includes a shirt made of lace. A hybrid of the dashiki and caftan worn by females is a traditional male dashiki with a western skirt.

Western formal equivalents[edit]
The following chart gives a type of formal wear on the left and lists the African equivalent on the right. Some merchants distribute similar charts to their customers with equivalent men's and women's styles listed. In the trade, they are referred to as "African Attire Equivalency Charts". This type of chart is only used in the Caribbean, Europe, Canada, and the United States. In West Africa, a man's tribal affiliation governs his mode of dress. When wearing African attire to a formal event, any color is acceptable. However, many men prefer to wear black with gold embroidery, or dark blue with gold embroidery, to blend in with the dark tuxedos. In Afro-Latin American communities, white is the norm.

Suit – dashiki shirt with black dress trousers and matching kufi. This style of attire is equivalent to a suit and is typically worn by Black men to formal African or Black centric events.
Morning dress – dashiki suit, Senegalese kaftan, or grand boubou. All three of these suits are acceptable attire for functions that require morning dress.
Black tie – dashiki suit, Senegalese kaftan, or grand boubou. Although it is called a suit, a dashiki trouser set is equivalent to the tuxedo. A dashiki suit is perfectly suitable for any black tie event.
White tie – Senegalese kaftan, or grand boubou. The dashiki suit is informal and out of place at white tie events. White tie events require an African robe or gown.
Wedding colours[edit]
White is the traditional colour for West African weddings.[1] Most grooms wear white dashiki suits during wedding ceremonies. Some couples wear non-traditional colours. The most common non-traditional colours are purple and blue.

Purple and lavender: the colour of African royalty.[2]
Blue: blue is the colour of love, peace, and harmony.
Funeral colours[edit]
Black and red are the traditional colours of mourning.

Red: honours the blood shed by slaves during captivity, and political struggle.[3]
Black: black garments represent death and communion with the ancestors.
The dashiki in the West[edit]
The dashiki found a market in America during the Black cultural and political struggles in the 1960s. The dashiki was featured in the movies Uptight (1968), Putney Swope (1969), and the weekly television series Soul Train (1971). Jim Brown, Wilt Chamberlain, Sammy Davis Jr., and Bill Russell were among the well-known African-American athletes and entertainers who wore the dashiki on talk shows. Former District of Columbia mayor and council member Marion Barry was known for wearing a dashiki leading up to elections.

The term dashiki began appearing in print at least as early as 1967. Reporting on the 1967 Newark riots in the Amsterdam News on July 22, 1967, George Barner refers to a new African garment called a "danshiki". An article by Faith Berry in the New York Times Magazine includes it on July 7, 1968.

"Dashiki" formally appeared in the Webster's New World Dictionary, 1st College Edition 1970/72. It cites J. Benning as having coined the word in 1967. J. Benning, M. Clarke, H. Davis and W. Smith were founders of New Breed, the first manufacturer of the garment in Harlem. York Wong joined the company as Financial Vice President in 1971

You see a lot of hausa don't shout when we are successful.. but I bet you with all the negatives kano only has one of the highest concentrations of billonares in nigeria.... 1 dangote = worth of all those spare part dealers.. why 1 abdusamad worth= worth of all those drug dealers spread around the world

Lol hausa were great merchants who transverse the length and breadth of the sahara in caravans.. the thing is in our culture not in mouth
