A daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari, Zahra, on Friday, stunned guests at a BBC Hausa event when she revealed that she is unable to speak fluently in Hausa, her father’s language.

The event was to unveil winners of a literary contest organised by the broadcast station.
Mr Buhari is a Hausa man from Daura, an important Hausa city in Katsina. Zahra’s mother, Aisha, is, however, a Fulani from Adamawa.

“I’ll make you laugh,” Zahra, who is married to businessman Ahmed Indimi said, when asked to make a comment at the ceremony officiated in Hausa.

She said she and her siblings rarely communicate in the language.

”Every day my father would correct my Hausa when I converse with him” she said in Hausa amidst laughter.

She said they usually communicate in “Engausa” a colloquial term for mixing of English and Hausa in a conversation.

She attributed her inability to speak good Hausa to attending schools with “children of white people.”

The president’s daughter later told interviewers off stage that they mostly speak in her mother’s native Fulfude language at home.

Hanah buhari speaks like a british with thier accent and even calls her 75 year old father her baby... no regurlar northern kid would dare call his/her father baby

Buhari himself admited he cant speak Fulfude since his father died when he was a kid and grew up with his kanuri mother and he left Katsina since he was a teenager growing up with his in-laws at kaduna, joining army , training for years in india, ghana, UK and US and being posted to southwest

Its better than your language sha

It's because they are not hausa. They are fulani that's why she can speak fulfude well.

What do you expect? Daughter of a former Head of state and current C in C. She even tried to speak small. If na some of us, we won't even know the meaning of our names in our language.
