Common sense should tell you that it is the distribution PVCs that will be taking place, not registration.
Sorry for your people lost to LASTMA.

Ahmed asked: Where did the Hausa come from?

A: This is an excellent question. I believe the oral tradition of the Hausa is reliable in the fine details. According to Hausa oral tradition, Bayajida (or Bayajidda) is the founder of the seven Hausa city states. He is said to have come to Bor’No (Land of Noah) from the east. He was a stranger to the area because his name is "Ba ya ji da", which means "he who didn't understand the language before, he was a stranger here." He likely came to Nigeria from Arabia. The name resembles the Arabic name 'Ub ay diyya. Al-'Ubaydiyya (Arabic: العبيدية‎) was an Arab village before it was depopulated on March 3, 1948. It was located in Galilee about 6 miles south of Tiberias, close to the Jordan River. The Canaanites referred to al-'Ubaydiyya as Bayt Shamash which means "House of God." Shamash was another name for the Creator Re, whose emblem was the Sun. He was worshiped by different names across the vast Afro-Asiatic Dominion.
In Bor’nu, Bayajida married the daughter of a local chief, but later fled after having a dispute with the ruler. This fits the biblical person of Cain (Kano) who married a daughter of the chief Nok. He is said to have fled after killing his brother.

The Hausa claim that their founder, Bayajida, came from the east in an effort to escape his father. It is possible that his father was a ruler in Egypt or ancient Nubia. The story goes on to say that Bayajida eventually came to Gaya where he employed blacksmiths to fashion a knife for him. This fits the picture as the region of Gaya, Nok and Kano is famous for blacksmiths, such as the Inadan. Gaya is said to be the origin of a man named Kano who first settled in the present Kano State in search of ironstone.

With his knife Bayajida proceeded to Daura where he delivered the people from oppression by a powerful serpent who guarded their well and prevented them from getting water six days out of the week. The serpent could not keep them from taking water on the holy day. In appreciation, the queen of Daura married Bayajida and she gave birth to seven sons. Each became a ruler and ruled the seven city states that make up Hausaland.

A problem arises when we attempt to put dates to these events. The Hausa states are recognized as entities only as early as 500 A.D., and they did not control the region until 1200 A.D. Their history is tied to Islam and the Fulani who wrested power from them in the early 1800s through a series of holy wars. It appears that the original Hausa story has taken on layers of interpretation since the influx of different peoples to the area.

Nevertheless, there are striking parallels between Bayajida’s story and the stories of Abraham’s ancestors who lived in west central Africa. For example, Bayajidda, the son of a ruler, met his wife at a sacred well where he delivered her people from a great serpent. Most of the heroes of Genesis met their wives at sacred wells or springs. Abraham married Keturah at the Well of Sheba (Beersheva). Issac (Yitzak) found a wife at a well in Aram. Moses encountered his wife at a well sacred to the Midianites and won her had after he delivered the women and flocks from Egyptian raiders.

Bayajida was associated with metal workers, as was Cain. The metalworkers of the ancient Kushite civilization were also rulers which is what the word Cain means. (The Eastern Afro-Asiatic equivalent is Khan, meaning king or ruler.) The Kushite maintained two wives in separate households. This is still done today among the metalworkers of the region. The metal working chiefs of the Inadan who live in the Air Desert surrounding Agadez, maintain two wives in separate households on a north-south axis (National Geographic, Aug. 1979, p. 389). There appears to be a connection between the Kushite priesthood and metalwork. This suggested by the story of Aaron (Ex. 32) who made a statute of a calf (the symbol of Hat-Hor, the virgin mother of Horus who was said to the "son of God.".

I believe that the root of Bayajidda's name is BJA, the ancient Egyptian word for meteroric iron. Bja meant "metal from heaven." The Beja of Sudan, Egypt and the Horn of Africa are metalworkers.(The Beja's metalworking kin in Niger and northern Nigeria are the Inadan.) Bja corresponds to the Sanskrit word bija, meaning semen or seed. Meteoritic iron was used in the fabrication of iron beads in Nubia about 6000 years ago. These beads may have been perceived as seeds from heaven which brought divine power to the wearer. Meteoritic iron was used in the fabrication of crooks and flails, the symbols of the Egyptian and Kushite pharaohs. These symbols were believed to give the ruler powers from heaven.

That the earlier layer of the Hausa origins account is very old is attested by the role which water plays in the story. In the ancient Afro-Asiatic Dominion shrines were built along rivers and at wells and springs from west central Africa to the Indus River Valley. Serpents inhabited these places and were both venerated and feared. In Sanskrit serpent is “naaga”, in Hebrew “nahash”, and in Hausa the serpent is “naja.”

Such shrines exist today in Africa and Asia. It is not uncommon for the serpent to speak through a woman who goes into a trace. This is regarded as prophecy. However, in the Hausa, Jewish and Christian tradition the serpent is regarded as an enemy whose head is to be crushed once and for all by the Anointed One. This is the meaning of Jesus’ saying: “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly they will recover; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Injil, Mark 16:17-18)

Christians believe that Jesus is the fulfillment of the first promise in the Bible, Genesis 3:15. This is called the "Edenic Promise" because it was made to Abraham's Kushite ancestors in Eden. Here God declared that "the Woman" (not Eve since she isn't named until verse 20) would bring for "the Seed" who would crush the serpent's head and restore paradise.

I hope that this will stimulate further discussion of the fascinating topic of Hausa origins. Please email me if you'd like to contribute to this information. I can be reached at aproeditor-at-gmail-dot-com.

Best wishes to you Digare Ahmed!

OrlandoOwoh:
I've always warned you to always make meaningful comment. We're discussing the distribution of permanent voters' cards (PVC), what relevance was the "deportation" people to this? FYI the PVCs of everybody is expected to be distributed, whether they are still resident or not.

amala has clogged your brain.
if fashola has deported, and killed with lastma, millions of people from lagos,
who will register to vote?
the saniya has come home to roost.

You might think that you're having fun ridiculing Islam and misdirecting less informed people about the aims of mad men in Boko Haram, but the skit you've typed above can get you into a lot of trouble if someone in the intelligence community picks it up.
I'm sure you'll have a hard time explaining your role as Shekau's woman.
You might not like the religion but going as far as ridiculing its prophet and holy books is not fair game. The country is not at peace and we, it's citizens should not through our written words drive it further into chaos as those simple/funny words to you might mean the demise of thousands and much more.

see this mugu,
me and you who is ridiculing Islam?
Is boko haram ridiculing Islam?
you christians should mind your business.
you will not respect other people.
you are always throwing your weight all over the place
as if the world belongs to you.

Are we going front or we backing back.

atlwireles:
Additionally, in Buhari’s heyday as the overlord of the General Sani Abacha-established Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), it is on record that he took matters to an astonishing level by engaging the services of the late Ahmad Salihijo, his brother in-law and head of the all-powerful Afri-Projects Consortium, as a super-consultant. It was well-known that absolutely nothing could happen in PTF without the express approval of Salihijo’s Afri-Projects Consortium, the supervising-consultant to the PTF that wielded so much power in a manner that had never been seen in any organisation before then.

/

And when the tyrant Obasanjo, smelling sme-sme, called for an audit of the PTF,
the Chairman of Afri-Projects Consortium (APC), Buhari's in-law conveniently died on his way to the audit panel.
His murder was swept under the carpet of Mr. Intergreedy.

i herad that during buhari time, if you want to go to bank, you take your mattress with you.
