You Won’t Believe They’re Nigerian — And They Speak Hausa! by Glimpsetv(op): 8:18am On Jun 02, 2025
A TikToker recently interviewed three white-looking guys, and what he discovered completely shocked him.

Though fair-skinned, these guys are all Nigerians from the northern region—Kano, to be precise. What’s even more surprising? They speak fluent Hausa!

The interviewer couldn’t believe his eyes.

Someone that has a Nigerian passport is not a Nigerian?

Very interesting, but some disgruntled people will be boasting that their children can not speak their own language, what a shame.
Re: You Won’t Believe They’re Nigerian — And They Speak Hausa! by christejames(m): 11:18am On Jun 03, 2025
Lebanese, they will always claim Nigerian while exploiting but deep within they know they are not... undecided





They hardly intermarry and partake in things anaverage Nigerian could do. Once their kids grow up to an adolescent age they push them to the Western world to explore better opportunities cheesy grin grin, but if those kids still fail abroad they send them back to Nigeria to open one of those Lebanese stores and shop to continue their perennial exploitation why they pay the Nigerians working for them crumbs.

I first saw it on tiktok yesterday. Nothing new though. We had them around in the 70s/80s. Many of them schooled in ISI, Marella and UI. May God judge all our leaders and those following them, for destroying Nigeria, including our education system. A British lady was interviewed by Ooni Ogunwusi in London. Her yoruba was top-notch, very fluent in it. She spent all her life here before returning to her country. The recent wave of insecurity in the land is scary...11 family members buried same day. Nigerians have been relegated into mere animals. God will judge and speedily.

These ones are not even fluent..
Goto Kano and hear clear fluent hausa language from completely Lebanese guys..
Most times they'll invite outsider to come play football match with them at Lebanese club.
In the 90s, we do go there to play football. They will give Jersey to the visiting team and stuff..
Very interesting memories.

Naija to the world....

Nigeria would have been a great country if NOT FOR THE DEMONS OF APC and the Ojota protesters that took us back to stone age and currently messing up Nigeria with their Lagos economics

Hausa language the most difficult language to learn? Wrong!

Hausa language is the easiest Nigerian language to learn. Reason being that Hausa people hardly have interest in learning other people's languages.

Thousands of Igbos living in and around Kara, Ontisha, speak fluent Hausa even though they've never crossed the River Niger not to talk of travelling to the north. Hausa language is practically the first language of Mile 12 in Lagos.

This is because we black folks are a collective bunch of inconsequential extreme poverty paupers.

Do you celebrate being able to do something that labourers do?

TheBedWench:
The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood)[1][2] is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).

This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]

The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.
