The time for change is now.

Indeed. God willing, the Hausawa will be restored to their former glory.

Are they spread all over Nigerian or outside of Nigeria? because it's like it's only Igbos who migrate to other countries.

There are tons of Hausawa spread across African countries, many of whom left Hausaland after the Fulanis took control. Others are descendants of pilgrim who decided to settle along the way. So you can find Hausawa along the old route to Saudi Arabia.

In which other African countries can one find the Hausa people?

Sudan, Mali, Niger, Ghana, Morocco, Chad, Senegal, and so on.

I've only heard of Fulanis from most of the countries that you've mentioned... And how come the Hausa people are the largest tribe in Nigeria, but we don't know anything about them?

Who's your folk hero and what was he or she known for?

People don't know much about the Hausawa because the Fulanis made sure that anything that benefits the Hausas (including popularity) is hijacked by them. They even coined the Hausa-Fulani construct to gradually make the Hausa an afterthought. All our quoters in the Federal system are filled with Fulanis (Military and Civilian). They impoverished the Hausawa to keep them as voting animals (only useful every four years).
They also used religion to brainwash the Hausas, separating them from each other (through sects) and from fellow Nigerians from other parts (through poisonous teachings that stir hatred). All Muslim clarics that preach terrorism and religious bigotry are Fulanis. The Hausa Muslim Clerics are peaceful, but not as popular (due to government sidelining).

Heros? We have tons of them, but they are unknown to most (even among the Hausawa), because the Fulanis ensured that History is distorted. Why do you think History was removed from our educational curriculum?

Read about Bawa Jan Gwarzo (Gobir), Muhammadu Rumfa (Kano), Muhammadu Makau (Zazzau), Amina (Zazzau), Muhammadu Alwali (Kano) and many others. People of noble stock they were.

Don't believe any good thing you read about Usman Dan Fodio (the Fulani's hero), dude was the inspiration that drives Bello Turji. He was a bloody terrorist who used religion to carry out a genocide. Like I said, there is a reason why Hausawa are deliberately kept illiterate and history is removed from our schools. Someone is trying to hide something.

But I don't get it, how come a whole minority tribe is dominating the majority? Because to me it seems like you're blaming the Fulanis for all of your failures without wanting to take responsibility for anything... Sure, maybe they manipulated you guys one way or the other, but it can't be in every aspect of life.

And do you guys have your own Hausa culture outside of Islam?

Well you are actually right, my people should actually share the blame for our predicament. We chose to follow leaders blindly, and it is one great weakness of the Hausawa.

Yes, outside of Islam, Hausawa have a culture of their own. However, because the Hausa tribe is above 95% Muslims, and coupled with the fact that Hausa people follow leaders blindly, the Fulanis demonized anything of Hausa culture (only sparing the elements of Hausa culture they are trying to make theirs, such as the so called Fulani dress, which is in fact a Hausa dress for the Priestesses of Hausa Traditional religious cults called Bori).

You may observe that only the Fulanis in Hausaland dress like that. Those in others countries outside Hausaland dress differently, because what you are made to believe to be Fulani dress actually belongs to the Hausawa (among other cultural elements).

What's that one milestone that you can say the Hausa people have been able to achieve in the past 20 years?

To be honest, I will say the gradual awareness (among a growing number of Hausawa) that we are a subjugated people, and the desire to embrace our roots and other countrymen (whom we were lead to believe are our greatest enemies).

The reality of a Hausa man, especially a Muslim, reaching out to his Non-Muslim tribesmen and other Nigerians with open arms of brotherhood, was unimaginable 20 years ago. With tears in my eyes, I cannot explain how proud this makes me feel. My people are beginning to learn how to be objective in their interaction with others, especially on matters of state. That is a milestone, Ma'am.

I still have a lot of questions to ask, but I wouldn't want to inconvenience you...😅😅😅

I've been looking for Nigerian Northerners on this forum, but it's like they don't like revealing themselves.
