You will not hear the arguments when Berom in Kaduna are considered indigenous, or when Tiv in Nasarawa and Angas in Bauchi have indigenship of these various state, because they are the beneficiaries. But if these states apply the same logic and reject their indigenship, that’s where grammatical arguments will rise.
For a century of Hausa dominance, even the British missionaries chose Hausa, because it was the only indigenous language that could read and write at that time. So the Hausa Bible versions were published to accommodate the rest of the tribes. Bigots want to change that.
Also, the Quran being in Arabic doesn’t mean we don’t have Hausa versions. And Arabic has never claimed to be a native language, unlike many tribes in Plateau that are trying to metamorphose their native tongue from Hausa to Pidgin to make it look like they have nothing in common with Hausa.
Elders and grandparents of these tribes know this. They are just hiding the truth when it comes to indigeneity, but when it comes to religious perspectives, they all collectively agree that Hausa is the mother of all.

@Deluwa If this is linked to 200 years ago, why start now and mainly in mining areas? No decent Fulani supports bandits; many fight them. Who killed Bello Turji's brother and top Kachallas? Fulanis did. You're ignoring facts to fit a narrative.
What does Dan Fodio have to do with terrorism today when he died over 200 years ago? How does insulting him help fight terrorism? Terrorism is done by individuals, not tribes. During Boko Haram, no one called all Kanuri terrorists.
@khalypermk@HabibaIdri40129 The tribe he insults have don & still are doin more damage to his tribe, a damage more sinister than just mere insults. If their people had not started killing Hausa people from Danhodiyo to date he'll neva engage in any depence. By trying to silence him they've proved his points
@HabibaIdri40129 Obi called Biafra his brother, but you don’t call him a terrorist because you are biased. What about Christopher Musa and Nuhu Ribadu who gave them the authority to act against terrorists Shehu buba Kuma kowa Na zargin sa even me self Dan ba mutumina kirki bane
