You might be wondering who and what they are?. But the best way to study any member of nature’s community is to visit its home.

Let me prepare your mind before you read further; you will be reading both the good and bad part of the Northerners (popularly called Hausa) as observed by me, an outsider.

okay, let’s start our funfilled journey into the badlands. These are things I observed during my stay in the north, among the Hausa people;

1. Tolerance

The first thing that amazed me about Hausas during my first day is how slow they are to anger ― with each other especially.

“Mallam, kada kada!!” meaning Mr., Small Small (or easy). That was what I shouted at the bike man conveying me to a destination. He almost hit an oncoming bike. I thought the encounter will result in fists exchange as I have seen in the South and West. To my surprise, the only words they exchanged was a greeting with the smile.

This repeatedly happened in all of the same occurrences I witnessed.

2. Subtle Begging

The first day I saw this well-planned begging style, I was repairing my phone with a Hausa man. A lady with make-over (many of their girls always wear make-up), enters saying greetings to the man. The man gave her N50 and she dipped her hand into a bowl carried by a small boy, bringing out something that looks like beans cake. Oh! I forgot to tell you, there are about seven lads trolling behind her. You still don’t get it?! The children are what they call Almajiris.

She prepares the beans cake (look-like) and distributes the equivalent of the amount of alms she receives to the children. This is a case of using the money to make money.

3. Hardwork

Another way these important tribe in Nigeria caught me off-guard was their business methods and how they try to earn a living. Before my visit to the north, in my thought, I divided the three important tribes in Nigeria based on what I think they are proficient with and in.

Yoruba (Education), Igbo (Business), and Hausa (Farming).

To my utmost surprise, northerners are lovers of business as much as Ibos ― if not more industrious than Ibos. They do any work available with awesome customer service. Their children can be found selling different things ranging from sachet water to chinchin. Seeing the hustle spirit in these kids makes me realize you can survive anywhere, anytime without depending on anybody.

4. Extremely Dominating

I experienced a mixed feeling of surprise and confirmation of my suspicion when I discovered this no. 4 in the Hausas. They are not easily dominated, but they love being dominated. Just like the park of wolves where everyone wants to lead but always bow to the leader chosen.

Whenever there is an argument, they are always in support of the person who appears dominating irrespective of who is right or wrong. This is however different in an instance where a fight ensues between one of them and an outsider; they support their own.

5. Free Feeling Expression

Irrespective of who you are, they always voice their feeling(s) about you, to your face. Maybe that is why they have fewer gossipers ― come on! I wouldn’t know.

Subtle what
Dox guys can beg for africa

Nice.

The Funny Moment when Twitter Thinks Hausa is Indonesian

Heh.

Number 5 is true sha.
If one of ur eye is blind, hausas will call you "Mai ido daya"
If you have one leg "They will call you gurugu".... Forgetting that u even have name sef.

But i still like them like that sha

1. The yan-daba did not appear out of thin air; someone patronises and uses them.
2. That is not subtle begging ogbeni that is a business and the white thing is called masa
3. You have a limited view of the Hausa with regards to business everyone is a businessman in his/her turf.
4. The hausa-fulani invented systemic racism if you don't know what it means Google it.
5. You know the word guluma was not invented by error...

good

Impressive

Nice




To aid the discourse, check my profile if you live in Jos and Lagos.

unity, communalism and hardworking are the attributes of Hausa ppl. u can't separate those attributes from hausa ppl especially those away from home........ in Lagos here u see them accommodating eachother and ready to help their brothers out when in need.u hardly hear it see them competing or outdoing eachother

they aren't desperate unlike my fellow southerners...u hardly great hausa man constituting nuisances abroad.


they are true Nigerians that believe in n and nationality.

great stuff

God bless the Hausas
God bless the Yorubas
God bless the Ibos
God bless Nigeria
ONE LOVE!!!

These are very true virtues of the northern people OP.

But unfortunately there are some people who swim in the pool of hate that will still say otherwise and rather find solitude in what's repugnant.

Hausas are very good people in the sense that; many people think they are bad and the like and moreover that they are ignorant and uncivilized, the Hausas see a lot of hateful comments and the likes speared towards them in the cyberspace but they, being good people, ignore all those, that's why we don't see a lot of them spewing crap online.

Hausa Amaka!

And moreover everything, they are patriots.

Hausa women sabi fucck eh?

one thing never to learn from the hausa- ALMAJIRI LIFE STYLE[i][/i]

They can be nice but avoid religious matter like plague with them. That is where major crisis in the North erupts from. One showed me love during sallah, I never expected it. The North would have been the most developed part of Nigeria if not of religious crisis and incessant child birth that they can't take care of.

I wonder why Lai just crossed my mind

is it the Gworo eating Hausa?

Hausas are tolerant? Tell me another story

Hausa amaka

average Hausas are easy going except those foreigners that mix with them in the name of religion

Hausawa

Ka gama ko? What of free/government money (Kudi banza), political power (siyasa), Kabilanci and averagely more honest than other tribes? Malam Baushe kena!

You forget bokoharam, terrorism and forced raped

Did he just say tolerance

I'm yet to get your message, pls come again

Hmm
