Ka je ka dinga cin dusa, domin kai jaki ne.

[Salihu Umar @Necessary_Cho]

Yes, the count started after the Danfodiyo Jihad & the Fulani lineage. My great-grandfather was the first Emir of Katsina, Umarun Dallaje, bcoz shi Danfodiyo ya ba tutar Musulunci.

We don’t count with the Habe.

False stereotype na bastard!!

You mistakenly sent money to an Hausa man and you are scared 😂

He would have likely called you himself to ask what the money was for and then refund it with your charges 😂

The most honest dealing set of humans you will ever come across

You wonder why they are the largest ethnic group in northern Nigeria and they barely have high ranking political leaders

They don’t seek power, talk less of doing whatever they could to get it.

It’s the bad eggs in the north that are difficult to differentiate from Hausas that caused the bad image

An Hausa would rather short himself on profit than cheat.

Ga dukiya iya dukiya amma marar amfani
Ba karatun addini (in da addinin ma) ba na boko
Ba wanka ba wanki
Idan suka bi ta gonar ka shikenan sai dai kayi shiru kana magana su sa kibiya su harbe ka.
Allah ya kyauta kawai. Wannan rayuwa kowa da irin jarabawar sa.

Admired by few, misinterpreted by multiple.

Generations has maintained this style… why should it change?”

[Ministan Shaddah👳🏽‍♂️(M.S) @A6da11ah_M5]

Zara Buhari perfectly serves as a highlight of how the “Hausa-Fulani” pseudo identity is used as a tool in politics… and some of our people are now awake and can see it.

@gimbakakanda With all due respect, this elegant talk about “fluid identity” and bilateral descent misses the elephant in the room.
The reason many traditional institutions in Hausaland are headed by people of Fulani ancestry isn’t some beautiful cultural fusion. It’s the direct result of Usman dan Fodio’s jihad that conquered the Hausa kingdoms and installed Fulani emirs. That’s historical fact, not “political convenience.” Even today, in core Hausa territories, Fulani descendants still sit on thrones established by that conquest. That part is in the past, yes.

What is driving the current rupture is not patriarchy or maternal identity. It is the unrelenting, disproportionate terrorism and banditry being carried out by Fulani militias and herder groups against Hausa farming communities village after village razed, farmers slaughtered in their fields, travelers kidnapped on highways. Yes, criminals exist in every ethnic group in Nigeria. But the scale, coordination, and targeting of Hausa villages by these Fulani elements has gone beyond anything comparable.

Every terrorist group has a motive. So tell me: what exactly is the goal here? Land? Grazing routes? Wiping out entire Hausa communities and replacing them? Because the body count and the pattern of attacks suggest something far more sinister than “farmer-herder clashes.” When you murder and displace thousands of indigenous Hausa farmers while the victims are overwhelmingly one group, people will stop pretending it’s just “shared culture” or “fluid identity.”

We can debate patrilineal inheritance all day. But when fulanis are burning down Hausa villages and the traditional rulers (many of Fulani stock) remain largely silent, don’t be surprised when Hausas reject the hyphenated label and demand separation of identity. History brought us together by conquest. The present is tearing us apart by blood. Address the terrorism first then we can talk about “honest society.”

The sad part is over the last one month these clowns have been more mad at Hausa Zalla movement than they've ever been at Turji and his band of marauding killers.

[Ministan Shaddah👳🏽‍♂️(M.S) @A6da11ah_M5]

Someone that saw a video of bandits committing atrocities and called them his brothers has been ranting on this very issue fa.

[Hausa Customs® @HausaCustoms]

And why are some of you uncomfortable with the term "Hausa".?

[Sarki. @Waspapping_]

I’m not going to divorce my Fulani wife, whom I’m happily married to, or pick a fight or cut off my relationship with my Fulani siblings, whom I’m tied to by blood, because some idiot on the internet is uncomfortable with the term “Hausa-Fulani.”

[Hausa Customs® @HausaCustoms]

@Waspapping_ This you?

Nobody said Hausas should cut ties with Fulani.
What Hausawa are saying is "We are Hausa" and we want to be identified as such.
Just because I identify myself as a Hausa person doesn't mean I'll not relate with Fulani people.

[Abubakar Evuti @NgugiEvuti]

It is sad to see but it is not unexpected. At a point Northerners are going to pause and ask themselves hard questions.

Any fair-minded person can see that there is a lack of sincerity on the side of some Fulanis, particularly the likes of Sheikh Gumi who continue to advocate for bandits that daily wreck havoc across the North —but especially in the country of Hausa.

If we are one, why do the likes of Gumi appear to be siding with the bandits instead of the victims of kidnapping, rape and murder?

There’s only one explanation: a misguided sense of tribal superiority because—I promise you—if a group of Igbo militia dare to start to sacking communities across the North, we won’t be having any of these debates as to what would be the appropriate response. All of our Mullahs, including those of Fulani extraction, would call for an all out war.

But now we are being told that we do not get the full picture, that violence is not the ideal response to violence and that the path to lasting peace is to go down on our knees and beg a group of unwashed people for our lives and safety.

My advice is this: the Fulani leadership must wake up and take full responsibility. The likes of Gumi and Asadu Sunnah must all be called to order. A lot of Fulanis are victims of this banditry as well and they are suffering twice as much.

So if you cannot talk about justice, don’t talk at all.

A clear line must be drawn if not, even the brotherhood of Islam will not save us.

[Hausa Customs® @HausaCustoms]

@Usman_Skura Dr. Idris Dutsen Tanshi called on them and Miyetti Allah to distance themselves from the atrocities of their brothers. They didn't listen.

[Hausa Customs® @HausaCustoms]

"I'm proudly Fulani" Wow nice 🙂.

"I'm proudly Hausa" Hausa-Fulani dai, zaka kawo rabuwar kai, Bamaguje, Arna, yan kwangila etc.

All because Today's Hausawa decided to boldly identify as Hausa.

These name calling is further waking the Hausawa to fight this cancel culture.

[Hausa Customs® @HausaCustoms]

@Ismailainuwa1 @MIKassim The moment you identify as Hausa they will be mad at you.

[Hausa Customs® @HausaCustoms]

Menene laifin Bahaushe idan ya ayyana kan sa a matsayin Bahaushe?

Shin dole sai Bahaushe ya alakanta kan sa da Fulani sannan yake musulmi a wajen ku?

Ba Musulmi a Yarbawa da Igbo ne?

[Ministan Shaddah👳🏽‍♂️(M.S) @A6da11ah_M5]

Why is it considered a tribal war if a Hausa man confidently says “I am Hausa”?

Doesn’t the Hausa man reserve the right to pronounce his identity without attaching “Fulani” to it?

Why’re the Fulanis threatening the Hausa man with disunity for pronouncing himself as a Hausa man?

[M.D. Zarewa, Esq. @mr_mubzyy]

Although I have Fulani lineage, but if you say Hausa-Faluni do exist because of intermarriages that happened long time ago between the dua tribes in Nigeria, how about the Hausas in Ghana, Niger, Sudan, Cameron and Benin can they also be called Hausa-Fulani?

[Hausa Customs® @HausaCustoms]

@oil_shaeikh Me ya sa idan Bahaushe ya identifying kan sa a matsayin Bahaushe sai ku ce kwangila ya karba? Kawai dan wasu sun ce su Hausawa ne ba Hausa-Fulani ba sai a ce raba kan al'umma yake yi? Shin ba Musulmai ne a wasu kabilun?
