Nowenuse: Very correct 55% to 65% Christians But having studied their history Religion has never played a role in their culture Infact the attempt by Afonja to use religion to attack Oyo ended up backfiring it was Fulani used ethnicity to claim throne And their colonial masters were Christians so it’s next to impossible for Muslims to be majority in Yoruba land |

VaughnSangrey: Go and check the population of LGAs like Zangon Kataf, Kachia, Chikun & Jemaa from 2006 census and come back and tell me that SK is not populated. Who told u that? Christian were the majority in Kaduna state immediately Katsina was carved out of the state. Political manipulations had to be done to weaken them and higher immigration of Muslims from other states.... Even at that the Christians are still not less than 40%. It is more like a 45-55 to me, but if it is based on indigeneship, Christians are more. |

VaughnSangrey: You are wrong because Maguzawa was a term used to describe a wide range of Hausa people from different Hausa sub-ethnic groups who rejected Islam. They are of one origin or one stock. That is why they don't have a United Homeland in one spot. There are Maguzawa among Zazzagawa (Zaria indigenes), there are Maguzawa among Kanawa & Katsinawa (Kano, Katsina indingenes). Those in Kano, Katsina and Zaria do not share direct boundaries with each other. 1 Like |

Nowenuse: Thank you for making my point. However they are from sub northern ethnic groups not hausa sub ethnic groups. Hausa is an evolved identity, if you havent gone through that evolution, you dont qualify. |

You are not making any sense. Maguzawa are Hausa pagans who converted to Christianity. Chikena. 1 Like |

VaughnSangrey: What kind of revisionist lies are you spewing? It's myopic to think there are no Hausa christians? There are even Igbo muslims like mama boko haram. So is it impossible to think that there are Hausa christians just like there are Hausa shi'as and traditionalists? Is it that you are insecure about the possible existence of non-muslim Hausas? |
Re: Indigenous Hausa Christians Of Kano Mark Christmas by GuestLog: 3:25pm On Dec 27, 2019 |
Nowenuse:You do realised that I highlighted SABON GARI, KANO? No Hausa Muslim or full Hausa man lives in Sabon Gari. It's a Christian dominated area where ONLY Southerners settle. Igbos, Yorubas, Middlebelts, Kogis, except Fulani & core Northern states. If Hausa Muslim lives in Sabon Gari it's a less than 2% of the whole area. I'm telling you because I was born there. Finished my secondary School in Kano and still visit my parents there from time to time. |

Aww...this must be wudil LGA, the day I visited there, the bright faces and eager to help attitude, omg...i just knew theyre Christians, I got to understand why the Antioch's were called christians. Northern Christians don't need to tell you they're Christians, u just know. they live it, its written all over them...southerners have a lot to learn honestly 1 Like |

Re: Indigenous Hausa Christians Of Kano Mark Christmas by Nowenuse: 4:23pm On Dec 27, 2019 |
namiji2598: And so? That doesn't mean I should let a false statement slide. Is there any of the indigenous tribes of Southern Gombe that is 40% muslim? Hell no. So how do you get your figure? Yes Kaltungo has many muslims. The town is around a 50/50, but the LGA as a whole is predominantly Christian, then by the time u bring in Biliri, Shongom & Balanga which are overwhelmingly Christian, how can u get your 40% Muslim in Southern Gombe? It's ridiculous. This is the same way Muslims will tell you that Plateau state is 40% Muslim just because of the Muslim settlers in Jos. |

Nowenuse: But why is the North so linguistically diverse. There are supposed to be at 3 ethnic group with at least a million people Who are the real hsusas if everybody in the north seem to be a northern minority |

Re: Indigenous Hausa Christians Of Kano Mark Christmas by Nowenuse: 5:52pm On Dec 27, 2019 |
darfay: The north is not diverse except for the area you see encircled in red in the map below. Hausas, Fulanis, Kanuris, Shuwa Arabs, Nupes, Gbagyis, Igalas, Ebiras, Idomas, Tivs & Borgu/Baribas are all at least 1 million to tens of millions of people each. The area encircled in red is very diverse because it is a highly mountainous and hilly terrain which acts as a natural defense and isolation between tribes, hence giving room for longer evolution and isolation with this. In anthropologist evolutions, it is common knowledge that mountainous areas usually tend to have a higher diversities and longer surviving languages because the mountains tend to serve as a great source of refuge to weaker civilizations and barrier to invading forces. Didn't you see that butt naked tribes were still discovered in Adamawa & even Bauchi just few decades ago? This is because they are on the high mountains and hardly came down. Most tribes in Plateau, Nasarawa, Southern Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa, Southern Borno, Gombe, Bauchi are very much related to one another. They just weren't unified by the colonialists cos the colonial masters were interested in a Hausa fulani hegemony over these tribes and uniting them of course will make them stronger and much more resistant to Hausanization and Islamization. Otherwise, in Plateau for example, the difference between Ngas, Mwaghavul, Mupun, Mushere, Pan, Goemai, Miship,Montol, Pyapun & Tal is just like the difference between Isoko, Uvwie, Okpe, Udu, Agbon, and Ughelli speakers of Urhobo, or betters still Ekiti, Awori, Ijebu, Igbomina, Oyo, Egba of Yoruba. 4 Likes

When I wrote I didn't say northern or southern. By the way, Kaduna is divided into Southern, Central and Northen districts and there are christians in all the three districts. And beyond the media rhetorics to score political points, there lots of muslims in the southern district too. Nowenuse: |

eduman365:Have you been to the North. Cause I've been there and experienced it firsthand. Sharia law is only applicable in few states primarily North Western States. I spent a year plus in Gombe and I can tell you religion persecution has never happened before. How many northern states have your been to? Just like Rivers are mostly Christians, some states in the North are predominantly Muslims so what do you expect. You can be ashame that's your problem. State the reality and stop playing victim. |
Re: Indigenous Hausa Christians Of Kano Mark Christmas by darfay: 7:04pm On Dec 27, 2019 |
Nowenuse: That means there is a possibility of having a unified/central standard dialect created for the plateau tribes... BTW I think the isoko and urhobo constitute a dialect continuum, but asides language every other thing is 100% same |
