The Hausa are different from the Fulani, don't put them together. However, in Nigeria, the Fulani would put themselves together with the Hausa because they need they need their population for political and religious evils they're doing everywhere. Also, please stop calling people cows etc - that's not good. Thank you.

Niger Delta people wee no get sense

You should be happy you are merged with ibos

The most watched movies in Niger republic are Kannywood movie

This is the reason why we are closed to 250m populations.. the border in d north is open for niger to enter.. most of our leaders are not Nigerians.

APC2:
"The Hausa ethnic group is the largest in Niger, and the majority of the population (54.1%) belong to this group. The Hausa are one of the largest ethnic groups in all of Africa and are scattered across West Africa, with most making up the majority of the population in Nigeria, as well as Niger. The Hausa people in Niger speak the Hausa language as part of the greater Afro-Asiatic family and also speak French, English, and Arabic. Most Hausa people live in small towns and mostly raise livestock, work as farmers and conduct trade. The horse is a major symbol of the Hausa people, as it is closely associated with the aristocracy and their equestrian based culture." Source: worldatlas

It's not accurate to say hausas make up the majority of the population in nigeria. In fact no tribe alone is the majority in nigeria as no single tribe is up to 30 percent of the entire population .Also,fulani numbers are exaggerated for obvious reasons .

Driven away by the fulanis who have taken over their ancestral lands

The Europeans partitioned Africa in the most dumb way possible. Togo was unjustly divided into two, French and British mandates. The French mandate was granted independence in 1960 while the British Togo mandate was merged with Ghana, the volta region.

Looking at Nigeria, southern Nigeria have nothing in common with northern Nigeria. The North could've been just another francophone country like Niger Republic, Chad, Benin Republic or CAR.

It's unfortunate we're stock together in this unequal strange bed fellow affair.

You are too apt and on point

Fuullllsss catch cold whenever Hausa is mentioned,I'm not Hausa but they are better than most of your wicked tribes out there

Hausas are definitely better than Igbos. If not for the curse of Islam that makes them behave like animals, they would be one of the best tribes in Africa.

well get ready as they are about to be merged with you with the coming influx of refugees from Niger just like refugees moved from ukraine to Europe the same would occur in Nigeria and guess what they are here to stay forever

Indeed.

There are over 25 first-class Obas of Yoruba territories that are indigenous to Atakpame region in Togo and Benin Republic today and they regularly have meetings annually with their fellow Nigerian Yoruba Obas.

Porto Novo (Ajase Ile in the Yoruba language) which is a Yoruba city used to be part of Nigeria before the British ceded it to the French in the late 1890s.

Farouk Kperogi's Baruba (or Batonu) people also straddle both sides of the Nigeria/Benin border just like the Yorubas who straddle 3 countries as indigenous people.

Even the Ga people who are indigenes of Accra, Ghana have an Ile Ife ancestral heritage and their king and his entourage visited the Ooni of Ife 2 years ago to reconnect with their ancestral migratory roots in Yorubaland.


The Hausas of Nigeria and Niger Republic are one people. It is the colonial borders that separated them, but despite that, they still interact business-wise across the national borders on a daily basis.


The famous LAKAJI trade route (Lagos, Kano, Jibia in Katsina) is the most commercial route in Nigeria, so, even for the Yorubas, and others, that route from Jibia town right across the border into Maradi in Niger Republic is a very lucrative trading route.

planetx:
The Banzoum guy is a minority Shuwa Arab and probably the major reason he was overthrown,
and the probably the reason why most Nigeriens are in support of the coup or just totally ambivalent. All that talk about economic and security issues by the coupists is a bunch of hogwash to mask the purely ethnic reasons for the coup.

That's another interesting take on the ethnicity issue. Shuwa Arabs are also found in Borno and Yobe States and they migrated originally a few centuries back from Sudan to modern-day Nigeria and Niger.

Yankee101:
Tinubu doesn’t understand when buhari says he has cousins across the border in Niger. Fighting Niger is like fighting Kano. It will likely lead to the end of Tinubu, not just as a president because the northern interests will gun for him. That’s when he’ll know they don’t consider him a true Muslim, they’ll declare jihad on him

You're wrong here. It was the former President Buhari himself that called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene urgently in the military coup situation as the Chairman of ECOWAS. It was widely reported in the news and even posted here on NL.You can do some Googling to confirm this.

However, will Buhari a Fulani (whose father is from Niger Republic, and his (Buhari's) mother a Hausa woman has a Kanuri mother) be happy to support a full invasion of Niger by a special ECOWAS military force the way Tinubu played a diplomat role in removing the Gambian former military leader Yahya Jammeh from office with Nigerian fighter jets and boots on Gambian soil remains to be seen.

So instead of these colonists to group African contries along tribal lines, they decided to make Africa divided eternally and some Africans still think it is the will of God and not the will of some white selfish people ?!

Svoboda:


Thank you. I see no reason why Mali, northern burkina Faso and niger should be split into separate countries. During colonial era, they were regarded as french sudan.
Whats the difference between Sierra leone and guinea on one hand, and the gambia and senegal on the other hand. What about guinea conakry and guinea bissau. Cameroon and gabon or congo dr and congo brazaville, rwanda and burundi, or uganda and kenya and south sudan, or malawi and zambia and zimbabwe. In South Africa, you have South Africa enveloping swaziland and lesotho.

You can go on and on. The colonial beasts conducted the balkanization to increase their areas of control over rich natural and mineral resources and to allow more european players after the germans were defeated after ww1 since they monopolized substantial parts of africa.

Nicely put.

Funnily enough, in Western and Eastern Europe, we have ethnic groups that straddle two or three countries. The ethnic Germans, Russians, French, etc, are found split into multiple countries.

Who be this one?

ok, go

Please i rather stay with the North than live in same country with the yorubas
Let them divide Nigeria into 5
Core North to have their country and continue their religious intolerance there
Yorubas can go and be doing their tribal bigotry alone
East can go
Middle belt must also be freed
And we from SS should be allowed to enjoy our oil in peace.
Just imagine we have our country, we would have been competing with Saudi Arabia in terms of development.
All these parasites regions have finished us

He was try to save cost for the British govt, because the north was so vast and they couldn't administer direct rule like in the south so they sort to rule indirectly through the northern leaders who they also could not conquer, and placed us in their hands when they were leaving.
In him mind he was doing the best at the moment, but with time most before ideas are the moment show weaknesses later on.

Stop saying what you don't know...

They joined northern Nigeria to southern Nigeria because northern Nigeria was not making profit and they kept using funds from the profits of southern Nigeria to keep their operations in northern Nigeria running.

When they left Nigeria they handed it over to the Igbos not northern Nigeria..

It was the Igbos that handed Nigeria to the northerners because they wanted to control all the regions in Nigeria and planned a coup that killed the leaders of other major ethnic nations and abolished regionalism and eventually led to a civil war.

Handed Nigeria over to the Igbos? That's a new one. Who hands power to a conquered people? Who could not keep their land from European invaders.

Language distribution does not necessarily serve as a basis for political delineation.
This is how languages spread beyond political borders in Western Europe:

1. English - England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland
2. German - Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein, and Switzerland
3. Spanish - Spain, Gibraltar
4. Italian - Italy, The Vatican, Switzerland
5. Catalan - Spain, Andorra
6. French - France, Belgium, Monaco, Switzerland

Besides, Hausa language is not limited to Nigeria and Niger. We have it in Cameroon, Togo, Ghana, Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, even as far as Sudan.

Something is wrong with this statistics and the data.
There no way Hausa will be the largest ethnic group in Niger republic
I believe they just concluded that anyone who speaks the Hausa language is from Hausa ethnic group....this is why westerners should not be allowed to tell our story.

You are absolutely wrong ! It's not about language , infact far more than 50 % of the population speak Hausa in Niger republic , around 80% speak Hausa language, almost the entire population and they are not saying 80% of the population are Hausa people, social scientists are not dumb , the question is a function of origin and lineage through interrogation, genography , common heritage ; Niger a country that share boundaries with seven northern Nigerian states , where there are no barriers against human expansion (no imaginary boundaries can serve as barriers) ,.

The Hausa people are concentrated in the southern Niger because they form boundaries with northern Nigeria and are sitting on top of northern Nigeria on the map and it's the most fertile region of Niger.

While Tuareg are in the north a region of boundaries with north Africa , Tuareg are also found in North Africa; Zarma are in the region bordering Mali (north western), diffa Arabs (north Eastern Niger) , Kanuri are in the South East of Niger republic while the same Kanuri is in the north east of Nigeria, this is so because south east Niger and northeast Nigeria are adjacent each other , so there is an overflow of this tribe;

So for Hausa people the more the boundaries connect , between northern Nigeria and Southern Niger , the more the overflow or expansion to and fro or in and out , afterall 50% of 25 million people in niger is just about 13 million Hausa people in niger while about 25 % of Hausa in Nigeria is 25 million Hausa in Nigeria.


So what's the big deal or surprise in 13 million of Hausa in NIGER republic?

Igbos full Rivers and delta states, Yorubas tribe full Kogi state, Tiv tribes full Taraba state, we never talk of the wicked and devilish agenda of separating and dividing this people in our country Nigeria...but we can talk of how the white man divided Africa! Nonsense!!!!!

That's the truth when two Geographical entities are sharing borders, it's no surprise that you will find the two states/countries/geographical entities having common ethnic groups;

But the Colonialists went overboard, they were not circumspect in their partitioning ,they just carved out regions or divided regions among themselves for their economic advantage with no recourse to their ethnic identities.
