Though I'm Hausa but I don't know if it's a folklore or true story, that the Hausa originated from Ethiopia, that's the tribe or language of Habesha, and it's with time that the Habesha name got distorted and became Hausa😂
I'm a Hausa man from Northern Nigeria. We're very conservative and reticent people as compared to other major tribes in Nigeria. Maybe that's why you hear less about us. Thanks for all your educative contents. We're so proud of you.
True. Hausa/Fulani languages are one of the most spoken languages in Africa. I'm Yoruba and speak Hausa very well. Amongst the richest list,they have Aliko Dangote, Dantata family, Mohammed Indimi, Theophilus Danjuma, Abdulsamad Rabiu, Umaru Abdul Mutallab etc.
Mohammed Indimi is not fulani or hausa he is Kanuri from Borno state. Theolphilus Danjuma is not fulani or hausa either, he is from Takum in Taraba state.
Fulani are not indigenous to Nigeria and they are the problems in the North. Hausa people are very calm and nice people. It took the whole country a long while to learn the difference.
As a Nigerian, you usually don't speak or understand other tribal language except you live in close proximity with other tribes or have at parent who speaks another tribal language. We generally have to communicate in English or Pidgin.
X2 He was not surprised yet because the family knew that we had a history of being Muslims and we knew that we were somewhat Fulani but not Hausas...in America we are very mixed.
The Hausa tribe is predominantly spoken in Northern Nigerai with with over 57 million people. Hausa is mostly spoken in Northern Nigeria, even though most northern Nigerian have got their own indigenous tribes. Hausa speaking tribes can be found also be found in Niger republic, chad, Cameron, Ghana.
There are also hausa in Niger Republic with about 56 % of the population. Today numbering 16 millions... Hausa people are from one tribe, one root. The terms used for the subgroups are either related to the regions they inhabited (like Gobir= Gubur) , Adarawa (Region of Adar) or an historic fact (the Takari in Sudan, Erythrea and Jerusalem....).
The Hausa in eritreA were Muslim migrants from Nigeria. They ended up settling in southwest eritrea due to pilgrimage back from Mecca. Some of them didn’t go back to Nigeria, there isn’t a big population there now but yeah that’s the story. As for their dna , I think the girl might have Arab admixture along with west African.
In Nigeria we generally communicate in Pidgin or English, but at least 90% of Nigerians can speak at least 3 languages. so for example if an Igbo or Yoruba or any other tribe person is born in the North or spend a lot of time there, the person will be able to speak 4 Languages at least which would be (Igbo or Yoruba or any other tribe), Hausa, Pidgin and English. So in general if you are born in a place other than your state of origin, you are most likely going to adopt the local language common in that state plus your native language together with English and Pidgin. And Hausa is the Easiest Language in Nigeria to learn in my opinion.
Im from the north and not Hausa. Many people resident in the North speak and understand Hausa. Nigeria has 36 states and the fed. Captial territory. My state alone has over 54 languages and Hausa is one of them. We generally speak Hausa in the markets especially with their traders. We also speak English to those who are fluent or understand and they are quite a number... Because of our diversity, English is our formal language.
Hausa, people found chiefly in northern Nigeria and the neighboring Republic of Niger.They constitute the largest ethnic group in northern Nigeria, which also contains another large group, the Fulani, perhaps one-half of whom are settled among the Hausa as a ruling class, having adopted the Hausa language and culture. Fulanis are mostly light-skinned, lanky with long hairs in northern Nigeria.Fulanis are also nomads. Due to their constant migration to different places, they are recognized in almost all parts of the West Africa region. Nigerian Pidgin is most widely spoken in southern Nigeria. There are accounts of pidgin being spoken first in colonial Nigeria before being adopted by other countries along the West African coast. The pidgin English is not widely spoken in northern Nigeria. Is very rare to hear Hausa person speak pidgin English in Nigeria.
Hausa is spoken mostly in Northern Nigeria so if you live there or intermarried, you may learn to speak Hausa but we communicate in pidgin on a national and social basis. Pure English is our official Lingua-Franca in Nigeria.
I am Igbo and love my Hausa brethen. Glad you did this post on Hausa ethnicity. Hausa are indeed low-key and cool people. Keep up the great job with your diverse post on variou topics.
the Hausas in Nigeria are called Hausa-Fulani because of their centuries-long intertwined political and historical development . They're a humble people and the most politically astute in Nigeria. Very lovely people.
There are Hausa apart, Fulani apart. Hausa people are more linked to Kanuri and Tuaregs than Fulani. But you never hear such: Hausa-Kanuri or Hausa-Tuareg .
Well in Nigeria, English is the official language. Pidgin comes in when the need arises to communicate depending on what part of Nigeria you reside in (most especially the south side). The three major groups, igbo, hausa and yoruba are major major. So, if you're from another tribe and you had the luxury of growing up in any of the other tribe location, it's an opportunity for you to learn how they speak mix with them ( a plus to your lingua skills), if you not then English could serve as the mode of communication or pidgin.
Hausa people like horse riding, Durbar festival, and the society is heirarchical with the Emir as the head of the Emirates unlike the Igbo who are republican oriented. Cattle rearing is a major occupation. The are often very tall and wear flowing gowns/kaftan.
With regards to speaking different languages, it’s usually a case of where you live or are brought up in Nigeria. My mum was from the urhobo tribe of Dellta state but she spoke you’re a because she grew up in Lagos and Hausa because she traded with them and had Hausa friends.
It’s actually true that they are very honest people they don’t really care so much about money or material things unlike we the igbos and the Yorubas as well
Keep deceiving your self!!! Who really stole Nigerian common wealth? Who has been controlling Nigeria's oil money? Who controlled resources and shared contracts during Nigeria' oil boom, during construction of Abuja? Is it Igbos?
Thanks, and keep deceiving yourselves about this innocent Housas. See where we're today, especially they governing elites. An ordinary Housa person is ok.
Would also say they've got some of the most beautiful girls in Nigeria.... You were also right, they've got wings spreading round Africa, there are Igbo people in equitorial Guinea.. Yoruba in the country BENIN not the state in Nigeria "BENIN"... They're the largest ethnic group in Nigeria
Pidgin is still commonly spoken in nigeria but here is the catch. The major cities that have pidgin as their choice of communication are the southern states of nigeria, and same thing goes for the northern part of the country with hausa as their main language of choice. Now this is where it gets interesting. We (the people of nigeria) have other languages, cultures, tradition and way of life. We have 36 states in nigeria (lagos been the smallest by land mass) and in each state, you might have 15 to 50 different tribes (they might have different dialect of speaking their native language but have similarities in their culture) which brings us back to the hausa and pidgin misconception . Its not like people from the northern part dont understand pidgin, but their culture, way of life and interactions with neighbors depend on hausa language. Not all are hausa by tribe. Same goes for the southern part of the country with pidgin (except that majority of southerners don't really bother to learn hausa because they already have pidgin. But the hausa's understand pidgin cuz its a broken english and the official language in nigeria is english).... So dont worry, you can go to both the north and south and still communicate 😅.
Hausa is part of the Afroasiatic languages, also known as Hamito-Semitic, or Semito-Hamitic, and sometimes also as Afrasian, are a language family of about 300 languages that are spoken predominantly in the geographic subregions of Western Asia, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and parts of the Sahara/Sahel.
Hausa are Afro Asiatic people and their language is from the same group as Arabic , Hebrew , Amhara , Coptic Egyptian to name a few... I did a lot of digging on this people .. My conclusion is Hausa are from Ethiopia or Abyssinia ( Habesha ) ... The Hausa called themselves : "Ba Habshey" literally means "from Habesha ( or Abyssinian ). "
This is interesting because on my DNA test which identified me as being Hausa says my halogroup derives from East Africa and was swept up in the Bantu expansion.
I discovered you guys about two weeks ago and i'm very happy i did. I have been binge watching your videos since then. i feel like part of the family :) but great work to you guys. Hausa is a trade language making it a lingua franca in many regions of West and Central Africa.
Yea... I've heard Hausa is the easiest language to learn. But nah, many don't speak it unless they have lived in the north for a while. Yes. Hausa people are conservative and live in close knit enclaves called 'Sabo' in other regions. Many people think everyone from the north is Hausa but that's wrong. A lot of minority groups also live in the north but they all understand Hausa.
We communicate through pidgin english. One can only speak the language if one is living in Hausa land and learn the language. As a Nigerian that has never stayed in hausa land, i communicate with my hausa brothers and sisters in pidgin.
What the narrator said in this video isn't entirely true: 1. Hausa is not the most spoken language in Africa but Swahili; 2. The current president of Nigeria is not Hausa. 3. Most of the people in this video aren't Hausa. 4. Hausa have become the most vio1ent people in Nigeria. 5. Hausa have been completely emasculated by Fulani, and they have become subservient to Fulani. 6. Hausa are no longer truthful; they are the most corr/upt set of people, stea1ing Nigeria's wealth, bringing pains to Nigeria and Nigerians and setting Nigeria backward. Let's always be truthful to ourselves.
Apart from pigin, Hausa is also a language of communication in the Northern part of Nigeria even though the northern part of Nigeria has the highest number of languages and dialects.
I am Hausa from London and I am constantly mistaken for Sudanese or East African due to Hausa mixing with tribes such some Arabs as Tuareg. We are proud of who we are and are extremely culturally different from Yorubas and Igbo, I personally have nothing in common with them.
The Hausa are the most quite people in Nigeria. They go out to study, so you Mighty find them in USA, but they mostly study in france , Monaco . They are very conservative and nice. They tend to marry themselve or delta isossa , if they marry outside.
I'm Hausa and: * yes, we're the largest group not only in Africa but in the world (if you count the Hausa speakers). this is why they call us (the Kings and Queens of Africa). * yes there're a relationship between us and Ethiopians because we're original Nileotic and the descendants of the founders of the greatest Kemetic (modern day Egypt) civilizations. * we're found along the African belt from farthest west in the Gambia until the farthest east in Eritrea. continue to the Arab peninsula. and from Canada down to Brazil. * we still practice spirituality despite the majority of us was converted to Islam by force, yet there are waves of awakening and getting back to our beliefs. * we still believe in vodoo and proudly practice it and hand it down to our offspring. it is what the almighty gifted us. * the modern science proves that we're the chosen people (Israelites). which our elders used to tell us centuries ago. * we moved from the banks of Nile to western Africa where we built another great civilization (the Nok civilization) that lasted for 2000 years. from 500 BCE up to 1500 CE * we ride horses for thousands of years and one of the most important conditions for the rulers of Hausa is to be professionals in horseback riding. therefore we're the knights of Africa. * we're known for being the most polygamous ethnic, great money makers and love our families especially our kids. * we're very peaceful as long as we get it back. but when things go wrong we're fearless that makes sure that we write the end line for the fight.
the information in this video is inaccurate. there's over 70m Hausas in Nigeria alone. Hausa is the largest tribe in Africa. I should know; i'm one of them
9:23 Only people Of other ethnic groups that really live in the North with the hausa or work there regularly, speak it.pidgin more widely sued. Sierra is right.
The pigjin english is more spoken in the western nigeria, while in the northern nigeria generally hausa is the most spoken language there is even broken hausa.
Hausa businessmen don't chase the "limelight" unlike their Southern counterparts that's why you don't hear much about them. They're very organised, their territories consisted of city states like Kano and Sokoto etc, and in ancient times served as intermediary for trade between the rest of Nigeria and North Africa. Their cities notably Kano was a terminus for the long camel trains that brought goods from North Africa (which included goods from Asia and Europe).
I am big fan of your reaction videos. Since you guys are interested in learning more about Africa. It will be great to learn about America step child. America step child is a country called Liberia located in West Africa founded by free slaves from the United States of America in 1822. Unfortunately it is the least developed country in Africa in my opinion but worth checking out to bridge the gap between African and African American. Check out Maryland in Africa as well.
Hausas in Nigeria practiced Islam in a liberal way until they were conquered by Usman danfodio a fulani jihadist and they were forced to practice their religion in a fundamentalist way. Most hausa communities are governed by the fulani ethnic group whose work is mainly Nomadic cattle rearing. The fulani lives in communities with the hausas and they counted together have the highest population but if only the hausas tribe are counted alone the yorubas tribe have more population therefore, Yoruba is the largest single ethnic group in Nigeria in terms of population
So many languages in Nigeria, if you re born in the hausa land you will definitely understand and speak, if you re not born there you can only understand little
see the irony. The ruling Fulani class claim to be the most honest people, yet they have ruled Nigeria for decades and perpetuated and officiated one of the most corrupt governance on earth. The Hausa people are a beautiful and great people, I have lived among them for years, and I preferred the North of old to now, where substance abuse and extremism are now the order of the day. Prone to extremism where devotion to religion is concerned but a beautiful and hardworking people. All Nigerians speak or at least understand pidgin which is used to communicate between people of another tribe and culture from yours.
Most common language in Nigeria is pidgin. Only few Nigerians can speak more than one language. As a result of maybe been born or trade business in a region that is not their region of origin. So they interact as a result learn their language.
So you speak your local language, English or pidgin. If you speak more than one local language, the person learnt it cos he or she lives in a region that is not their region of origin.
True. Pidgin is mostly spoken in the south. Very rare in the north. The common language spoken in North is hausa even though we have like more than 20 languages and ethnic groups.
There are many Hausa/Fulani around me in Abuja and I get along with them. As well as Igbos and Yorubas. The presenter was extremely tribalistic in some comments, though.
To be honest Nigeria as a home have much history like Yoruba Igbo hausa it spread all over west and central Africa same as the north east and west spread a-lot of Hausa to everywhere same as Yoruba in African country and spread all over the continent
They also the reason why Nigeria is backward. They use to be very honest but not in this era. Richest man in Africa is from Hausa and yet majority if the hausa are beggars and pls investigate what I said.
How does your statement has anything to do with the reason why Nigeria is backwards? So Nigeria is backwards because we're no longer honest like we used to be? Or because Dangote is rich, we should automatically all be rich. Girl don't be silly 🙄

Apart from pigin, Hausa is also a language of communication in the Northern part of Nigeria even though the northern part of Nigeria has the highest number of languages and dialects.
I am Hausa from London and I am constantly mistaken for Sudanese or East African due to Hausa mixing with tribes such some Arabs as Tuareg. We are proud of who we are and are extremely culturally different from Yorubas and Igbo, I personally have nothing in common with them.
The Hausa are the most quite people in Nigeria. They go out to study, so you Mighty find them in USA, but they mostly study in france , Monaco . They are very conservative and nice. They tend to marry themselve or delta isossa , if they marry outside.
5:30 is Fulani, not Hausa please
I'm Hausa and:
* yes, we're the largest group not only in Africa but in the world (if you count the Hausa speakers). this is why they call us (the Kings and Queens of Africa).
* yes there're a relationship between us and Ethiopians because we're original Nileotic and the descendants of the founders of the greatest Kemetic (modern day Egypt) civilizations.
* we're found along the African belt from farthest west in the Gambia until the farthest east in Eritrea.
continue to the Arab peninsula.
and from Canada down to Brazil.
* we still practice spirituality despite the majority of us was converted to Islam by force, yet there are waves of awakening and getting back to our beliefs.
* we still believe in vodoo and proudly practice it and hand it down to our offspring. it is what the almighty gifted us.
* the modern science proves that we're the chosen people (Israelites). which our elders used to tell us centuries ago.
* we moved from the banks of Nile to western Africa where we built another great civilization (the Nok civilization) that lasted for 2000 years. from 500 BCE up to 1500 CE
* we ride horses for thousands of years and one of the most important conditions for the rulers of Hausa is to be professionals in horseback riding.
therefore we're the knights of Africa.
* we're known for being the most polygamous ethnic, great money makers and love our families especially our kids.
* we're very peaceful as long as we get it back. but when things go wrong we're fearless that makes sure that we write the end line for the fight.
I am from the hausa community as well.
We speak pidgin and English as well.
We go to schools
Im igbo but also speak and understand hausa language well
Hausa munada al adunmu masu kyau munada addinin🕋🕌 hakuri da juriya da kasuwanchi alhamdulilah 🙏🙏🙏
I did my dna with African Ancestry and I am 99.7% Hausa and Fulani.
In Nigeria we about 250 languages/dialects. We communicate with English and Pigeon English.
There're over 260 languages in Nigeria. We are integrated. Our common language of understanding is Pigin English.
the information in this video is inaccurate. there's over 70m Hausas in Nigeria alone. Hausa is the largest tribe in Africa. I should know; i'm one of them
9:23 Only people Of other ethnic groups that really live in the North with the hausa or work there regularly, speak it.pidgin more widely sued. Sierra is right.
Similar tradition with my ppl in Sudan, music and all
Hausa isn't that hard to understand though 😁 much love guys 😘
The pigjin english is more spoken in the western nigeria, while in the northern nigeria generally hausa is the most spoken language there is even broken hausa.
Hausa businessmen don't chase the "limelight" unlike their Southern counterparts that's why you don't hear much about them.
They're very organised, their territories consisted of city states like Kano and Sokoto etc, and in ancient times served as intermediary for trade between the rest of Nigeria and North Africa. Their cities notably Kano was a terminus for the long camel trains that brought goods from North Africa (which included goods from Asia and Europe).
I am big fan of your reaction videos. Since you guys are interested in learning more about Africa. It will be great to learn about America step child. America step child is a country called Liberia located in West Africa founded by free slaves from the United States of America in 1822. Unfortunately it is the least developed country in Africa in my opinion but worth checking out to bridge the gap between African and African American.
Check out Maryland in Africa as well.
In north western Nigeria alone, there are morethan 52 million Hausa!
Hausa is one of the three major groups in Nigeria. The other two is Yoruba and Igbo.
I’m a proud Hausa man👏🏾👊🏾🤙✊🏾
Hausas in Nigeria practiced Islam in a liberal way until they were conquered by Usman danfodio a fulani jihadist and they were forced to practice their religion in a fundamentalist way. Most hausa communities are governed by the fulani ethnic group whose work is mainly Nomadic cattle rearing. The fulani lives in communities with the hausas and they counted together have the highest population but if only the hausas tribe are counted alone the yorubas tribe have more population therefore, Yoruba is the largest single ethnic group in Nigeria in terms of population
Hausa people like Ethiopia are Afro-Asiatic people.
Nigeria gets a little bit of everything.A lot of people can trace their roots to some tribe in Nigeria.
I speak two languages in Nigeria outside and Europa
I'm hausa from kano state
So many languages in Nigeria, if you re born in the hausa land you will definitely understand and speak, if you re not born there you can only understand little
Im an igbo guy ...Hausa people are good loving people
Hausa boy here from kano
Only people who live in the Nigeria, like Kano
see the irony. The ruling Fulani class claim to be the most honest people, yet they have ruled Nigeria for decades and perpetuated and officiated one of the most corrupt governance on earth. The Hausa people are a beautiful and great people, I have lived among them for years, and I preferred the North of old to now, where substance abuse and extremism are now the order of the day. Prone to extremism where devotion to religion is concerned but a beautiful and hardworking people. All Nigerians speak or at least understand pidgin which is used to communicate between people of another tribe and culture from yours.
❤❤❤❤❤
either english or pidgin, it’s like the de facto national language. some ppl know how to speak the languages of other tribes though
Am also hausa fulani we are very lowkey
I love you hausa good 😎
Most common language in Nigeria is pidgin. Only few Nigerians can speak more than one language. As a result of maybe been born or trade business in a region that is not their region of origin. So they interact as a result learn their language.
So you speak your local language, English or pidgin. If you speak more than one local language, the person learnt it cos he or she lives in a region that is not their region of origin.
True. Pidgin is mostly spoken in the south. Very rare in the north. The common language spoken in North is hausa even though we have like more than 20 languages and ethnic groups.
There are many Hausa/Fulani around me in Abuja and I get along with them. As well as Igbos and Yorubas.
The presenter was extremely tribalistic in some comments, though.
The housas are simply people but it's the Fulanis that are spoiling their name in Nigeria
To be honest Nigeria as a home have much history like Yoruba Igbo hausa it spread all over west and central Africa same as the north east and west spread a-lot of Hausa to everywhere same as Yoruba in African country and spread all over the continent
The Hausa has some Fulani tribes and they tend to be light skin people.
They also the reason why Nigeria is backward. They use to be very honest but not in this era. Richest man in Africa is from Hausa and yet majority if the hausa are beggars and pls investigate what I said.
How does your statement has anything to do with the reason why Nigeria is backwards? So Nigeria is backwards because we're no longer honest like we used to be? Or because Dangote is rich, we should automatically all be rich. Girl don't be silly 🙄
Yes the Hausa's kingdom is mixed group of Hausa's and Fulani as a result of intermarriage, businesses, religion and blended culture
His uncle aliko Dangote is richer than but nobody heard of him dantata
