It must be a sad day for the lady’s family. Must she marry this guy, an uncircumcised dirty d...k from the North. Is it money. May God not bless me with such girl either as a daughter or sister. Maybe she’s Osu

The man is most likely a christian. More than half of the people of Adamawa state are christians. People like you don't know this.

And marriage between Southernerns and Northern christians is very very common.

Chukapage:
Meanwhile IGBO men RARELY marry outside the Tribe! but na Dem dey rush us. Even as Peter Okoye is now na body dey tell am ,even after marrying a Yoruba out of pity of because she helped him and she already had kids everywhere. There is a reason the men rarely marry outside our tribe but other tribes the rush Eastside women like tomorrow no dey .

Speak for Southeast Igbo men or Anambra/Imo men.
Delta & Rivers Igbo men marry their Edo, Urhobo, Ijaw, Ogoni & Ibibio neighbours very well.
Enugu men also marry Idoma/Igala girls quite well. They are neighbours.

Proffdada:
I can only agree I'd a northern girl marries a southern man

Northern girls marry Southern men a lot!
Unless you mean core-northern girls (Hausa fulanis).
This one is rare. Otherwise if it is Plateau, Taraba, Southern Kaduna, Benue e.t.c. It is very common.

johnmattew:
except Edo and urhobo men..it's very difficult to find Edo and urhobo marrying ibo

Who told you this? If you mean Southeast Igbos, you could be correct, but not Delta Igbos.

Delta Igbos and Urhobos/Edos have been neighbors for centuries and their intermarriage is just like that of Hausas & Fulanis.

Guy,you are too extremist.tone it down.let people support who they like.el rufai is a performer..

Elrufai is a performer, but more of a chronic hater and 'divisionist'. Such a person deserves no atom of respect from me and my people.

I take exception to the likes of Kyase and Omenka who go about claiming middlebelt identity and at the same time misrepresenting our people before the world.

alhassanyusuf29:
Wow!! I never new Dankwambo achieved this much as a governor, even tho I have heard peopme pouring encomium and praises, but I just thought it was political talk and propaganda

Kaduna state has always been getting a bad governor apart from Makarfi I think, but they are lucky to get El-Rufai, that guy is building projects anyhow, and the recently passed budget has emphasis of 70% on infrastructure, I think by the time his done, KD will be next best destination in Nigeria

Kano is doing good to with roads and education, the good thing is that Ganduje didn't let politics get in between the development of kano state, he completed most of the project kwankwasso started

I don't know much about Jonah Jang achievement, but one thing for certain is that there were a lot of ethinic and religious clashes, he seemed to have a hand in it bcuz of the way it keep going without solution

Settings was underrated too I think, in the midst of BH insurgency.. I heard he has tried a lot

alhassanyusuf29:
I beg to differ on this aspect, how did el- rufai show any hatred and detest for south kaduna, is it bcuz he picked a deputy Muslim?? I think your views on this topic is subjective deprived from a emotional segment

El-Rufai is bold and goes straight to the core, his not a hypocrite that tries to play to the gallery.. I think what you hate is his boldness in doing stuffs

I have been following him and I don't see anywhere it implied he hates SK, I think the main bone of contention is him picking a deputy as muslim

El rufai no doubt is a visionary leader and is hardworking. This was why many Southern Kaduna people supported him in 2015, believing he will make Kaduna more progressive for everyone.
However, after they started seeing his body language and how bigoted he was, they started withdrawing. Instead of him to appeal to them and make it up to them by showing them kindness. He openly called them an inconsequential minority and told them that they are less than 30% in Kaduna state.

El rufai signed for an emirate to be in Kachia. Is that not madness? He is very lucky he did not try that in Zangon Kataf or Jaba, or else he would have been the one begging for peace later on, just like Makarfi did after the Sharia crisis.
Many Zaria people were against the muslim-muslim ticket, cos they knew how terrible this is in a state where christians are about half of the population. All of them eventually followed up, as is usual with the herd mentality of Hausa-fulanis.

In El-rufai's mind, he must have succeeded, but he doesn't knows he has sown a seed of hatred and division which will germinate very soon.
Even a state like Gombe which the christians are like 40% will never give a muslim deputy, let alone Kaduna.

The same stupid Elrufai brought foreign investors to Kagoro to build a Potato mill, because Kagoro is a part of the Plateau and temperate climate crops grow there just like Plateau state. The indigenes rejected it and told him to take it to Zaria. He cannot because Potatos don't grow in Zaria. Is this not reaping from sowing seeds of hatred? You discriminate and insult a people and you need their lands.
The indigenes themselves know that even if they give their lands for the industry, at the end of the day, everybody working in the industry would be Hausa fulanis cos Elrufai will not disappoint in this aspect.

See, no matter the investmemts Elrufai brings to Kaduna state, it will not take more than a serious crisis to chase all the investors away and everything is back to square 1.

Elrufai's actions and that of the likes of Buhari and other northern extremists have succeded in pushing Northern/Middlebelt minorities against the core-north and keeps on pushing us farther.

My parents and grandparents grew up loving Arewa and believing it to be their identity, but today I spit at the mention of the name Arewa. Igbos are 10x better and an alliance between my people and Igbos and Niger deltans would be far better.

Kyase:
Are we talking about their person or their achievement.
Please let's face the topic.
Mind you, my mum is from southern Kaduna too,I did my childhood in kagoro in the 90s...
So I'm more passionate to the Christian North than you.

God forbid. I rebuke that. Please can you claim your true identity and stop being ashamed of it?

Tallesty1:
Their prophecies did fail but they don't tell you it was God's voice. They put things together from informations from the Bible and history.

It is a human effort so it can't be perfect and besides, your church's prophecies do fail everyday too.

Did your pastor not tell you that this year is your year?

How far?


How many prophet and pastors prophecized that Goodluck and Atiku will win?

How far?

We hate Jehovah witness simply because they're better than us.

Hardly do you see them in crime story.

I have never seen them COZA any member.

Hardly do you see them with teenage pregnancy.

Their is no lukewarm member among them like the rest of other churches. You're either in or out.

They're one and Bible said be one.



No other church supports members financially without extorting first like the Jehovah witness.

Truly, Jehovah witnesses have a lot of good and positive things to them which other Christians should emulate. Nevertheless, their evil sides are worse! They are extremist!

If your own Mother who brought you into this world or your twin with whom you shared a placenta and DNA type is a Jehovah Witness and you are not, expect them to prefer a complete stranger or foreigner who is a JW than you. Is this not madness?
When your wedding day comes, your own mother who is a JW will not attend that wedding as long as you are not a JW.
They never attend other people's churches or collect other people's materials but expect you to attend theirs and collect theirs, what kind of hypocrisy is that?

If you were once a JW and you backslide, not to even talk of leaving the fold. You are ostracized from your family, friends and everybody and treated like an outcast. For God's sake, what is the difference between this and a cult? Had it been JW believe in bloodshed, they would have been worse than Islamic extremism.

The worse of their practices is rejection of blood transfusion. I have seen JW people I knew (especially women) die at childbirth or an accident when they loose a lot of blood and the only solution to help them live is blood transfusion and they reject it and die instead.

I swear if my daughter or sister marries a JW, I will mourn her and forget her from that very day. I wouldn't even wait for that to happen.

Abeg, I thank God for we Pentecostals. We are very free with each other, we attend each other's churches, we intermarry each other. We don't discriminate or judge others (except for the Deeper life people). We live freely. JW are not free. It's like they are living in bondage.

Can you please take down that Tiv name you are answering on nairaland? Or I will begin to monitor your profile and anywhere you go I will harass you on that thread! Thank God I'm more free these days.
Yourself and Omenka.

A true son of Benue can never say someone like Elrufai who has open hatred and detest for Southern Kaduna people is his person. That is a slap on the legacy of the likes of Late Gideon Orkar, Joseph Tarka and the other Tiv fathers who fought against the oppression of northern minorities.
It is a slap on the dead souls of hundreds and thousands of Tivs who were killed by the Sardauna in 1966 Tiv riots and killings by Fulani herdsmen over the decade.

I may not be from Benue but my people and Benue have a common history and struggle.
I hold great esteem on the legacy of past Benue fathers who were middlebelt agitators. Hence I will not continue to watch yourself an Omenka continue to misrepresent the views of the average Benue person on this forum.

Without any doubt, Dankwambo of Gombe is the best governor the north ever had. The kind of roads, schools and health centers this man built all over Gombe is shocking, considering the low income levels of the states.
Public primary schools in Gombe have access to well equiped libraries and computers, where else can this be seen all over Nigeria?
If Dankwambo had been the governor of a richer state like Kaduna or Kano, he would have done better than Lagos state, no doubt.

Jang of Plateau state was also a good governor. The number of roads he built in Plateau state during his tenure is amazing. He tarred a road up to the gate of my grandfather's compound Jos to my hometown used to be like 2 hours or more. He built an entirely new road out of nothing and within less than an hour, from Jos to my hometown.
Jang destroyed his legacy with 2 things. He wasn't paying salaries. He was a tribalist. He promoted Berom superiority which made APC take over Plateau state. If Jang has 10 projects to do, 7 of these projects will go to his ethnic group while the rest of Plateau state will share 3. His ethnic group may be the largest in Plateau, but they are just 20% or less of the state's population.

I don't think any governors of Kano or Kaduna have tried enough considering the large amount of money these states control. A Kano governor cannot be dragging projects with Gombe state and you tell me he is trying. That is rubbish.

IamCharles123:
Ok, but i have tried farming in the north actually during my service yr, kebbi state to be precise, without fertilizer crops dont grow. I planted corn n groundnut during their raining season, it struggled to grow even with many water and manure. It started growing when i added chemical fertilizer. I wasn't impressed at all. Crops like yam and vegies will not even grow those core northern state.

Corn is mostly a middlebelt crop, but for groundnut, hmm. I think the core-north also grows groundnut.
As for Kebbi, I think something is just inherently wrong with the state's soil. I did my youth service camp in Kebbi state and I also observed the lack/poor farming in the state. It seems like the eastern core north (Bauchi, Jigawa, Yobe, Katsina) is more fertile than the western core-north (Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara).

Yams and vegetables are purely middlebelt crops na.

Core northern crops are more of guinea corn, Millet, Tomato (Kano) e.t.c

EazyMoh:
What kind of BS is that in your first paragraph? Can you quote the law that stipulates that?
I couldn't even continue reading.

Suit yourself in your delusion.

bigiyaro:
bros, am not an Hausa, i have lived in jos for more than 26 years, the typical plateau man has only one problem, and that is his stomach. I don't have any problem what they eat or drink, but when someone sells his inheritance and spend the money on pig,dog meat and local brew, am truly sorry for that person, this is how the hausas managed to gain ground on the plateau, through food.

This is a very big and silly lie. How did fulanis gain ground in Ilorin and conquer the Nupes and even Hausas themselves? Was it also because they were selling their inheritance for meat and local brew?

Hausas would never have had a hold in Jos if not for the Tin minning which brought many of them there and they were given free lands to settle by the colonial masters.

IamCharles123:
I will accept farming in the middlebelt but as for the core north, farming is not so great as they make us believe, the northern land is not so fertile.

Yeah, but you should have some good capital and experts working with you. You should get land in an area not affected by herdsmen or be able to employ security people around the farms.

Core northern lands are also fertile too. They just have a shorter farming season due to less rain.

IamCharles123:
So me that's from delta state now, if i travel to Nassarawa, they will gimmi land to farm?

You can acquire land there at a give away price. Land is very abundant and cheap in the middlebelt and north.

Neoteny:
No hausas in Sabo?

You know nothing of either Jos or Kaduna beyond what your local CAN chapter tells you.

It's good El Rufai proved how politically and commercially insignificant your kind are in Kaduna.

It's equally good that your endless machinations and schemings backed by CAN, your political elders, and your former generals to rid Jos of the fulani and hausas have failed with disastrous consequences for your caveman way of life

Jang and that jailbird Dariye spent billions arming an army of drunks who failed to dislodge the hausa-fulani, forcing you miscreants to accept peace.

You've tried such shenanigans in KD and also failed miserably, with all of your kind pushed to the fringes and periphery of Kaduna, where the herdsmen give you sleepless nights. In both Jos and Kaduna, the so-called natives are inconsequential, powerless, poor, pitiable, pathetic, and yet full of impotent hate against a system that has cowered them to the very edges of civilization.

It is only in Nigeria where you see that the people who dominate political power are predominantly illiterates and poverty-stricken. This does not happen anywhere else in the world.

Other parts of the world, the people holding political power are usually more enlightened, richer and widely travelled.

Southern Kadunas are far more educated and living better lives on average than Zaria people and you call them pitiable and inconsequential Can't you see how foolish you people are?

Same way you guys control Federal government, yet Igbos are doing 10x better than you people in all ramifications.

Can you take a look at your fellow Hausa, fulanis & Kanuris in Niger republic? That is what you core-northerners will look like by the time my people join the South and demand for the dissolution of this country. Just wait for it, it will soon come.

Neoteny:
The only "businesses" plateau natives own are beer joints, whorehouses, small perishable goods stands in their hovels, and dog meat BBQs.

Are these not better than hawking onions, Sugarcane, Aya & groundut? Or almajiranci and street begging (babi Allah)?

Show us the literacy rates and poverty levels of core northern states
You supposed to cover your head in shame that the people you are insulting are more educated and living better lives than your people.

Isinweke:
These Northerners from the Sahel are making you people look backward to the world. they are same reason why Nigeria is not moving forward

Thank you very much. The solution to Nigeria is the dissolution of this country. I thank God that many of my people are beginning to think in this light.
Hausa fulanis must be left alone so that they can continue in their backwardness and retrogression like the people of Niger republic.

ibechris:
When u use the word drunk then it shows how stupid u are. Must everyone be hated for being who they are. It is no wise arguing with u cos u already started with hate and prejudice. As far as I know, Hausa Fulani's are the problem affecting everything in this country.
They hardly invest and constitute the largest number of unbankable people in this country. Hate everything that is un-islamic.

Statistically,they are the most violent and backward tribe in the whole wide world. They detest any form of human development and that is why they are in enmity with other people.
Irrespective of where they settle,their hatred for others is boundless.
Stop calling others drunk after all,the same drunk people have develop themselves far more than any Hausa land u could think of, at least they are tolerant,sociable and yet u hate them for this.

ibechris:
Don't argue with him...they hate everything even when they are the strangers.

There is an Igbo adage that says, " a stranger has no enemy. But u can't use that for an Hausa Fulani man,they are trouble looking for trouble. U visit a strange land and suddenly,u started hating people for drinking and socialising. And u want to proselytised them into ur religion.


Just don't argue with him else he will keep to his abuse.

Thank you. Don't mind the retrogressive people.
If our fore-fathers had not made the mistake of joining their stupid and retrogressive Arewa, they wouldn't have been behaving so madly like this.
See their fellow retrogressive people Niger republic. That is how Hausa land would be if they were a country of their own. Unproductive leeches.

Everybody is getting tired of Hausa fulanis in this country and very soon, they will meet their waterloo.

EazyMoh:
What's a bigger claim to a land than contesting an election to represent the place?
The history is open everyone knows when a people settle in one location or the other. How many years does it have to take before people could claim endigenship to a place?

In the Nigerian context, no one can be the indigene of a place he settles unless he conforms and adapts to the pre-existing culture he met in that place.

Hausas cannot be indigenes of Jos and this has even been settled in the supreme court. Had it been Jos even shares boundary with Hausa land, then Hausas could have a reasonable claim, just like Kaduna.

Kaduna city originally is not Hausa land. It is Gbagyi land. But it is just at the edge of Hausa land (Zaria). This is why nobody drags northern Kaduna city with Hausas anymore.

No matter how long Igbos stay in Kano or Lagos, they can never be indigenes of those places.

COUSIN1279:
If you're still in plateau state, pls go to these LGA's and their villages (bokkos, ryom, barki lady) and spent a day there and come and tell NL wetin u see... Safe Journey, hope you come back with your head ooo.

Rayfield...Bukuru.....Barkin Ladi.....are not part of Jos North.

Rayfield is arguably Jos East, Barkin Ladi and Bukuru are Jos South.

You either don't know Jos well enough, or your compass is fuzzy.

Or maybe you're too drunk to even know what the hell you're talking about

Much of Rayfield is Jos north.

Are Hausas the owners of the businesses in Tafawa balewa, Lowcost, Zarmaganda/Zaria road,Rock Haven, Jenta e.t.c

Besides he was referring to the fact that Plateau indigenes anywhere own businesses. That was the point he was trying to make.

Your Hausa people have become the poorest and most illiterate group of people in Africa and everybody despise you and do not want to associate with you. Go and work on that first before you brag about your people owning any businesses or anything.

Everyday, torture centers are being discovered all over your region with hundreds of enslaved tortured people and you are here shamelessly talking about others envying you guys.

Can you tell me what is there to envy about Hausa fulanis? If Igbos are accusing my people of being envious, I will understand.

I guess the Igbos who clash with Hausa settlers in Onitsha are also envious of these Hausas? Or the Yorubas who clashed with you people in Ife or Mile 2?

Neoteny:
Your twisted version of history will continue to be ignored by me, because it was spoon-fed you for the sole purpose of subduing your contentious capacity for independent and rational thought.

All denizens of a hateful and hate-filled society are dogmatically inseparable from their overarching propaganda. Without propaganda you cannot be cowed into perpetual fear of that which you hate, and thus keep your hate alive.

Thus, I'll not attempt to rebuke your injected credo, because you're as much a believer in it as you're a victim of it.


However, your claims that Kaduna South is developing is stretching the fabric of reality to asinine proportions that threaten your credibility.

I thus simultaneously laugh and cringe at the pathos inherent to your plight.

You cannot refute my hard facts, hence you resorted to this. You think what they teach you guys in Makarantan allo is the truth.

Tin minning brought everyone to Jos! Not only Hausas. This is why you can find 3rd and 4th generation Yorubas & Urhobos in Jos. They are everywhere and some of them have even become famous! So, your lies taught to you in your mosques can readily be refuted!

Nasarawa Gong in Jos for instance used to be heavily Yoruba before the Jos crisis, but they lost the area to Hausas. Igbos lost their own areas during the civil war when they fled the north.
All the workers who worked in the Tin minning were given free lands to settle in Jos by the British and the indigenes had no say in this. This was how Jos came to be a cosmopolitan city.

Besides, many of those muslims in Jos north are not even Hausas. Many are Plateau indigenes who converted to islam, Bauchi tribes indigenes, Nasarawa muslims, Kanuris e.t.c Hausas just used religion to claim everybody.

Sabo is a very commercial area of Kaduna and there are no Hausas there. How many parts of hausa Kaduna is better than Sabo? Don't count the government houses areas.

Neoteny:
You've subconsciously made my point.

If hausas and fulanis are not the only settlers, why then do the natives hate only the hausa-fulani? If settlers are their problem, why don't they fight other tribes?

It's the combination of Islam and the hausa-fulani that the natives find odious, and they're helped along in this campaign by the sinister and duplicitous CAN.

You mentioned igboes, Jos North is predominantly hausa-fulani, with a sprinkling of igboes. The igboes came late to the party during the tinning era.

You claimed, falsely, that the hausa language was forced upon the natives. This is outrageously false. Even in the hinterlands where the hausa settlers did not penetrate, hausa is the local lingua Franca .


You yourself have no idea why you've an innate and inherent hate for Muslim hausa-fulani, as it's something drummed into your consciousness by the endless hate campaign perpetrated and perpetuated by your leaders to use you for their own selfish gains. Now that you've desecrated and laid waste to Jos, tell me how that makes it better

You can't drive neither Islam nor hausa-fulani from plateau. You may try and you will fail endlessly....as has happened several times already.

All you can do is keep alive the endless circle of laying waste to what you claim is your birthright.

Can't you see how you are changing goal post? You are now bring Islam into it.

The indigenes have a problem with Hausa settlers because Hausa settlers are very disrespectful of the indigenous culture and are laying claims to the city. This is something Igbos or Yorubas do not do. Simple english. If the indigenes are not having problems with Igbos and Yorubas who also practice islam, then neither is religion or being a settler a problem. Hausa fulanis are the problem.

I never said Hausa language was forced on Jos. It was forced on the whole northern region and the smaller minority tribes who were closer to Hausas were affected.

Do you know that the Sudan united missionaries (SUM) who converted most 2nd language hausa speaking middlebelt christians wanted to use Ngas language (a widely spoken plateau language) as the medium for evangelism when they first landed in Pankshin around 1905? They were stopped and forced to use Hausa language by the British northern protectorate. This was how hausa spread to the hinterlands.

We cannot drive Hausas from Jos because of one Nigeria, same way Hausas cannot drive Igbos from Kano, Yorubas cannot drive Igbos from Lagos e.t.c But the moment one Nigeria ceases, everybody will answer his fathers name.

This is why I think it is high time we middlebelters and Niger deltans join Igbos to fight for seccession. We can never be stopped by Nigeria if we are united.

Hausa fulanis should continue their campaign of evil in every region and very soon, they will succeed in uniting their enemies.

Abagworo:
Jos North again? I learnt Hausa-Fulani is more populated than the indigenes in that axis

This is a lie from the pit of hell.
Babangida wanted this and that was why he carved out Jos north LGA from old Jos LGA when the indigenes requested for Fadere LGA, but it failed.
There are 3 house of assembly seats in Jos north and hausas produce only 1.
IBB went as far as creating council wards for every Hausa slum in Jos.

EazyMoh:
Stop being a hypocrite in your life. There are people of Igbo origin representing Lagos in HOR with nobody complaining but a Hausa-Fualni cannot be appointed a chairman in a state even his great grand father was born in.

Igbos are not claiming to be indigenes of Lagos, unlike Hausas who are trying to change the history of Jos and claiming that they are indigenes. If they respected themselves on someone else's land, no one would have been against them.

bigiyaro:
speak for yourself. plateau people don't know what they want, excerpt sipping burukutu and chomping on dogs n pigs. if they even had any clue as to what direction they want their common destiny to move, this lalong pygmy won't even smell rayfield for his second tenure. Hands crossed waiting for the emir of jos.

Lalong lost that election but it was clearly rigged.
Lalong only used divide and rule. He claimed some ethnic groups are his friends.
Well, Jang and Beroms started all this tribalism. I hope they can see what it is causing.

Neoteny:
Go around all of Jos north and show us who own the investments. The natives have nothing, they're either too drunk, too broke, or too hateful to do anything enterprising.

It's because of the development of Jos occasioned by the hausas that Jos has become a bone of contention.

If you don't know your history, the hausa were among the very first to settle on Jos during the tin mining era, and they played a crucial role in the development of Jos.

The natives sold off their lands in vast swathes to the new settlers and happily retired to the bushes. Then later their educated political leaders rewrote the narrative into one of settler conquest, hence the claims of "settlers taking over our land" in the modern narrative, which further fuels the hatred of the modern natives.

Go around Jos town and see how little participation the locals have in the development of the town. Contrarily, they helped usher its desecration in a scorched-earth campaign to destroy everything the hausas own in Jos out of pure malice and jealousy.

Now Jos is a mere husk of its former glory because the barbarian natives would rather a desolate Jos than one flourishing on account of "settlers".

Imagine if the local Yoruba populace of Lagos decide igboes should own nothing in Lagos and proceed to burn it all to the ground.

Who loses?

Everyone.

Most of the lands Hausas occupy in Jos today were freely given to them by the colonial masters during the tin minning exploration.
The indigenes refused to work in the tin minning in large numbers, hence Hausas, Yorubas, Igbos & Bendelites were imported and settled in Jos.
The Igbos lost their areas during the civil war to the Hausas. Yorubas allowed Hausas to drive them out of their areas during Jos crises. That is how Hausas used religion to take over those areas. The indigenes never sold most of those lands. It is a false narrative.

Look at the Southern part of Kaduna city. Hausas no longer live there since the sharia crisis of 2001. However, that has not stopped that part of the city from developing in spite of the government neglect.
The number of beggars & almajiris have reduced drastically.

Are Hausas the majority in the most developed parts of Jos? Rather the most underdeveloped areas and slums are the areas Hausas dominate. So which development are you really talking about?

Hausas may have investments, but the amount of backwardness they bring with their investments is appalling. Of what use is a Hausa investment, when 100 beggars & almajiris come along with it? Abeg take your investments to Zamfara, Jigawa or Katsina state, we don't want them.

Neoteny:
How do the fulanis and hausas impose their cultures on anyone?

In Jos the natives do as they've always done, and the hausa and fulanis also go about their business.

The real problem is that the natives are not industrious, enterprising or entrepreneurial. They'd rather maintain a base existence of the fringes of civilized culture, while they gaze in awe and envy at the flourishing hausa-fulani people. This envy breeds hatred, and they project their own decrepitude to the "settlers".

They hate the sellers but they love their language and their names. Almost every native speaks hausa, dress hausa, bear hausa names, and even ignorantly use Arabic words in their hausa sermons....they use "Allah" to refer to the biblical god. They name their kids Musa (Moses), Dauda (David), Ibrahim (Abraham) etc, forgetting these are Arabic variants of the Jewish names.

Why do they do all these?

Because they envy their "settler" neighbors and simultaneously hate that they envy them.

Hausa language was forced on northern minorities by the colonialists in connivance with Caliphate leaders during the old northern protectorate and old northern region, go and check history.
The Arabic names you are talking about, are they your own Hausa native names?

Besides, if you will notice, our people have stopped answering such names. It is difficult for you to see a Plateau indigene that will have a child today and call him/her, Yusuf, Musa, Saratu or Hauwa. Even exclusive christian names like Habila, Yohanna, Bulus, Luka are on a serious decline.

Are Hausas the only entrepreneurs in Jos? What about the Igbos? How many times have you heard of indigenes fighting with Igbos?

Igbos & Yorubas who were born and brought up in Jos integrate, interract and intermarry with the indigenes, to the extent that if some of them tell you they are Igbos, you will not believe it.

Hausas on the other hand do not mix or interelate with anyone, them form their enclaves and have the audacity to call the indigenes Arne on their own soil.
It's not their fault sha.

Our people may not be entrepreneural, but they go to school and seek a better life. Your Hausa people are littering Jos with almajiris, illiteracy & beggars and you talk about people being jealous of them. Absolute nonsense.

funmike83:
Cos it is closer to the north where they dictate power, most of the rich men from the north reside there

No, I think most rich business men in the north reside in Kano. Most rich civil servants in the north Kaduna.
It is more of the rich northern politicians and political appointees that reside in Abuja.

However, Abuja is not Hausa land. Hausas and the indigenes clash regularly.

FarahAideed:
The north wanted the seat of govt out of the south !!!!! It had nothing to do with over population of Lagos

But Abuja is more of central Nigeria than it is north. Lokoja & Jos were other options of consideration for the capital of Nigeria.

Lagos was so much into the heart of a majority group's region and it was very much unfair.

But Kano and Lagos Governments have appointed Igbos and others.Kano had even non indegene as a Governor. Shekarau is from Biu in Borno State. Even the one time Governor Sabo Bakin Zuwo is Of Nupe origin while Tanko Yakasai is Jukun from Taraba. You are simply intolerant and retrogressive in your thinking.

Bakin Zuwo, Shekarau and Yakasai adapted and acculturated in Kano Hausa culture and traditions before they became leaders in those states. But you expect those filthy hausas in Jos who call the indigenes Arne & Kafiri to be accepted in the state? You must be out of your damn mind.

Yes we are retrogressive, but we are still 10x better than you core northernerns who are the poorest and most illiterate group of people in Africa and possibly the entire world.
