Is The Hausa Marginalized In Nigeria? by zoedew: 8:48am On Sep 23, 2017 |
* ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nigeria got its independence in 1960 which is 57 years now. *Let's look at the records of rulership:* The longest serving President in Nigeria is a Northern Christian minority: Yakubu Gowon for 9 years. He's Ngas by tribe from Plateau North Central Nigeria. Followed by IBB, a Nupe man from Niger State, another minority tribe from North Central. He ruled for 8 years. A Kano raised Kanuri man from Borno: Sani Abacha ruled for 5 years. Kanuri is another minority from North East of Nigeria. Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister (along with Azikwe as President) for 6 years: Balewa is a Northern minority from Balewa village in North East Nigeria. Murtala Mohammed of Auchi parents (Edo state - South south of Nigeria) but born in kano ruled for a year before he was assassinated. Shehu Shagari, a Fulani man from Sokoto, (core North) ruled for 4 years. Shehu Yar'adua, a Fulani man from Katsina (core north) ruled for 2 years. Abdulsalam, a Gwari minority from Niger state, (North Central) ruled for 1 year. Muhammadu Buhari ruled for 22 months (1st time) and now in his 3rd year (2nd time). Obasanjo, a Yoruba man from South West ruled for 3 and half years. Same Obasanjo again ruled for another 8 years. Ernest Shonekan, a Yoruba man from South West ruled for 6 months. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (Ijaw man), a minority from South South ruled for 6 years. Aguiyi Ironsi ruled for 7 months (guess from where?) Abia State. Now, if you check through the whole record, an Hausa man has never ruled Nigeria. *True and facts are these: 2 Fulani presidents, (Buhari - Yaradua - and Buhari again) have ruled for 10 years to date.* *Yorubas 12 years* *Ngas, for 9 years* *Nupe for 8 years* *Ijaw for 6 years* *Gwari for 1 year* *Kanuri for 5 years* *Ironsi : 7 months* *Igbos zero month (if we say Ironsi is not an igbo man)* Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe was also President for 6-years. And if you look at the 57 years rule: *Muslim rule for 29.5 years* *Christian rule for 27.5 years* if you add Zik's Presidency of 6-years, Christians had ruled for 33.5 years!. But I keep wondering why some Nigerians keep crying: "Hausa - Muslim Born to rule" Most of us are very economical with the truth. The years Obasanjo spent in power is more than what the whole Fulanis spent even if Buhari finishes this tenure. And here is a shocker: the Hausas are actually a majority tribe in terms of population, spread, land mass etc. Imagine if they begin to look at issues from tribal perspective and begin to emotionally blackmail us all with cries of marginalization which factually is true. But the poor Hausa man is not. For one way, he understands that we all have been marginalized. Our war should be against the class marginalization: *The rich versus the poor* For it is the same thing that a poor man from Nupe, or the poor man from Efik, Igala, Kanuri, Fulani etc suffers that the poor Hausa man suffers likewise the poor Igbo man. That class disparity ought to be our war. Not the hate resulting from lies that an Hausa man have ruled us for all of our 57 years when infact the true tally is zero. We are better together. Yes we have grievances, but blackmail, lies, propaganda won't solve them for us. Only the truth can and will. *The Hausas are the ones marginalized in Nigeria* #copied. 2 Likes |

Re: Is The Hausa Marginalized In Nigeria? by zoedew: 10:29am On Sep 23, 2017 |
lomprico: This morning asked some Hausa friend of mine - who is Hausa? His response should explain why Hausa is this widely spoken and associated with the language shagari, buhari, yaardua, abdulsalami, ibb spoke. I was shocked to know Murtala Mohammed is actually Auchi from Edo State. Here is the answer from my Hausa friend- "Morning sir, Hausa man is an original inhabitants of Kano, Jigawa, katsina, sokoto, part of kebbi,Zamfara, and Kaduna States. They are also a minority in others States of the North. Hausa tribe has received and accept other ethnics and nationality. Those Nationalities were accepted and assimilated into Hausa land hausas. But they have their distinct identity and languages. Most of these Nationals speak Hausa as lingua franca, but they have their own languages which an Hausa man does not speaks or understand unless he learns it." We have Obasanjo who stopped the teaching of History as a subject in our schools to blame for the ignorance of our common identities and heritage that pervades the land. I still don't understand why he did that. 1 Like 1 Share |

baralatie: Very good comment Sir! Exactly we should stop viewing access to The Presidency as indicative of marginalization. It suggests Federalism as the best form of democratic arrangement for our clime. #weakcentrestrongcomponents# |

Re: Is The Hausa Marginalized In Nigeria? by SuperStriker: 10:41am On Sep 23, 2017 |
The hausas have willingly handed over their destiny and future to the Fulani so that is their plate of shiit. They have completely lost their identity to the Fulani. All the emirs on Hausa soil are Fulani and they see nothing wrong so let them be. If the Hausa's have chosen to be eternal slaves to the fulani it does not mean that Igbo's must also accept eternal slavery. 6 Likes 1 Share |

SuperStriker: The lot of the Hausa is directly traceable to the influence of Islam when it swept through Hausaland. Truth is, Islam takes no prisoners. It only feigns acceptance via taqqiya. It knows no middle ground. It is an "either or" proposition. A Muslim -no matter the ethnic origin- is not truly fulfilled, by the dictates of the Quoran, until he is governed IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE i.e. Political (Emirate),Economic (interest free loans et al), Law (Sharia). That is an issue Nigeria must deal with someday that'll hopefully not become our doomsday! We are presently living in denial! Little wonder, Chief Lateef Adegbite, a former SecGen of NSCIA, a prominent and distinguished Egba and in his lifetime one effusively Learned in Law fought tooth and nail to ensure Boko Haram was not declared a terrorist organization inspite of the obvious! Khan The Mayor of Jands today (indeed every Muslim in a secular setting of every sort) is only bidding his time. In his heart of hearts he would rather The British Monarchy and Parliamentary system of government is replaced with a Caliphate and Jands renamed Londonistan! This understood should explain the lot of the Hausa since it was the Fulani who brought Islam their way. |

IJOBA2: It should interest you to know as well as note that the OP is neither Muslim nor Hausa. Please let's keep this debate objective, civil and Deep so we can all get the best benefit it portends for the larger good of our society. We can't all emigrate to the developed world for ever. One way out is to discuss these matters we love to keep under wraps in the open. #letsmakenigeriaapride# |

Homeboiy: For the UNESCO, “marginalization occurs when people are systematically excluded from meaningful participation in economic, social, political, cultural and other forms of human activity in their communities and thus are denied the opportunity to fulfil themselves as human beings.” cc.

Mrreed: That perspective is in dire need of correction for the good of all. Nigeria should not be about The North and The South which is why Federalism best suits us. When the centre is weak and the Federating Units The Strong no one will any longer play The North v The South Card cause it just won't sell! |

Hausas, who is their Monarch? Give us ten prominent indegenous Hausas. What are the tribes of the following Nigerians:- Dangote, Eweala, Osinbajo, Saraki, Makarfi and Ekweremadu? For out of these the 2019 P and VP shall come, God's willing. We have 371 tribes in Nigeria and have only existed for 57 years. Hausas are not only marginalised, they are endangered, brutalised and bleeped off by the Fulanis. Why don't they complain? |
