Muza:
as for me,i always say i'm hausa-fulani because thats what i am

Interesting. Do you know anthing about the second part of my post?

Do you dislike the fact of that many folks lump you'all into the Hausa group? Like they won't refer to you as simply Fulani, but rather Hausa-Fulani. My Fulani neighbor says she hates when people do that, in that she feels as though it discredits the Fulani as a substantiated settled group of Nigerians with an identity and place of their own amongst the Nigerian people. She says that people who use such hyphenated title often are those who do not recognize the Fulani as REAL Nigerians, rather considering them as simply foreign settlers or better yet, roaming invaders. What say you?

Another question is; how do Fulani kids within the more modern, big, integrated southern cities of Naija, like Lagos and Abuja, act and socialize being outside of the traditional Fulani environment within small herding communities in the Naija Northern Savannah? Do they, change up their style of dress, become more proactive in school events, go hang out with friends at the malls and other entertainment venues? You know regular kids stuff; or are they restricted to following their extreme cultural limitations of having a social life?

Because they're forced to.

Damn, she's hot little Mulatta; what hell is she doing dating that ugly ass dude?  Must be slim pickings in Naija these days.

Just J/K.   

Even a blind man can see clear as day that I've transferred a few of Nsukka's/Hero's posts on Skyscrapercity over to this site. I thought they were pretty interesting and the Nigerian and other African folks on there seemed to like them so I transformed them here in hopes that you'all would enjoy them as well. So there you have it; yeah, I'm guilty of transferring Hero's post on to this site. 

If you were to start a starbucks in which specializes in tea making, then it might be a viable idea.

KB1 = Nsukka = Hero . . . the picture of his wife is the same.

My wife dose not look anything like that women in Nsukka's avatar, though it is the same women that Hero once posted up as his wife and this is how I know that Nsukka is Hero, other than the fact of that they have the same writing styles as well.

he just cuts and pastes the story when he needs it.

Its saved in a permanent location on his computer.

Are you a male or a female?  

Damn, we have some stalkers in this place. First I'm Hero, then I'm Benin from another site and now I'm this Nsukka character. Nah, I'm not Nsukka, though I do post on that site and know for a fact that Nsukka is Hero.

Sisi Jinx, that's for the lesson, although I knew all of those accept one. Many of my Muslim friends have taught me alot of stuff and I retain information very well. I enjoy speaking the Islamic lingo when I'm around them and other Muslims. Don't listen to the haters on here attempting to slander me, they love to ridicule me simply because I show a deep affinity for Igbo folks, which is only natural,  in that I'm married to an Igbo woman.  Yeah, I know what you're thinking, "How silly and foolish is that" right?  

I must admit that I'm not too happy about the things I hear about Hausa folks back in Nigeria,  though here in the US my experience with them has been very good. They tend to be a very kind, gentile and cordial people who I enjoy chatting with. They are also very charitable with what they have; always wanting to share something with you, and know something about you,  unlike some other Naija groups who tend to push you away if you're not of their group.  

Hauwa, I unfortunately don't know much Hausa though I like to hear them speak it. It's sounds very rhythmic and sexy when the women speak it, but most of all I like it when they haven't quite learned how to fluidly speak English and they attempt to say certain words; with the females it often sounds very cute the way they say them. I love it. Some have trouble sounding out certain letters in words and combination of letters,  though as always is the case, the young ones learn VERY quickly how to correct it and on top of that integrate all the new street lingo within their vocabulary. I'm sure you know all this though.

 
KarmaMod, It's not nice to refer to us as Akata. You should know by now that we don't like to be referred to by that name. And why are you calling my wife names?

By the way, Hauwa, you used the term "Walahi". Typical of Muslims,  used to show honesty in your words, and meaning "Allah is my witness". Of course, this is not to say that you're Muslim,  in that I've noticed that many Arabic words have in time become standard within the Hausa language.

Hauwa, I can tell that you're Hausa by your name. It's a typical Hausa name in which is easily noticed via the au (H[b]au[/b]wa) in it's spelling. Don't forget that I'm not you typical AA, in that I'm married to a Nigerian-American and thus have lot of Naija acquaintances. Oddly enough, I know more Hausa folks personally than any other group of Naija folks but Igbo in that my Wife's family is Igbo,  though her closes Naija friend is a Hausa sista, and one of our close neighbors who we often associate with is a Hausa sister who's married to this African-American Muslim brother. So yeah, don't assume what I know.

Now if you are, Christian, then that's just fine; I was just making light of the fact of that I've never met a Hausa who was not a Muslim. I hope you have a very nice holiday.

By the way, isn't the name Hauwa of Hausa origin? What is a Hausa girl doing celebrating Christmas? I thought they were a Muslim ethnic group.

Well I guess this discussion once again proves that most of you go waaaay overboard in your claims of that we AA are mean and nasty to you'all (Africans, in general). From what I've observed and as the OP has expressed; you'all receive much more negativity from your own than you do from AA, and you know it's true so don't fib and say it's not.

When it comes right down to it, we are generally a fair, honest goodhearted people, though I'd admit that we do like to take the JOKING to the extremes sometimes. Just to let you know; if we really didn't like you, then we would even bother with you. We'd just simply ignore you, It'll be as though you didn't even exist to us as is the case with many other groups of people.

I'm proud to be Ishan as well. By the way from what part of the nation are we from again, I kind of forgot?
