its sad shouldnt we be glad that we have one our languages up there, would u guys rather have the ghanian or zulu language upthere jus because its HAUSA.

@^^Gbam
Besides, there has been written greetings in 'Yoruba' on Oxford street for years.
Buying power or numbers shopping in their establishment may have informed their decision. Majority resident Londoners(Naija) don't usually shop on Oxford Street. Debenhams is a departmental store that has facilities for VAT processing etc for tourists no different from Selfridges. It's a good marketing ploy .

By the way, I fit get one Hausa babe from your end so ? I dey beg. Hausa b pretty people oo.
No vex.

@^^ he's told you that Hausa is a national/an official language in Niger. Pls don't beg , just take a trip to Niamey. Nigeria is not the only place you can hear nice Hausa spoken or perhaps encounter lovely Hausa speaking damsels if that's your desire. Many of the Governors and spouses in some of the Northern states have Nigerien connection.

No wonder the Niger Delta militants are so aggrieved. Its truly painful to see their own people suffering and dying while the northern elites who destroyed Nigeria and reduced the ND to an environmental wasteland are busy squandering money like Arab sheikhs in London. In fact, I'd be a militant myself if I was from ND and read some of the s t u p i d comments here on this thread from some r e t a r d e d northerners gloating because a London shop now advertises in Hausa.

These m o r o n s are from a region that according to the UNDP, WHO, World Bank etc has the highest incidence of maternal mortality, infant mortality, polio, meningitis etc in all of Africa and the world. Not to talk of the highest incidence of poverty, illiteracy, underdevelopment etc in Nigeria. Yet some i d i o t northerners instead of hiding their heads are exhibiting their s t u p i d i t y here on nairaland.

No wonder the almajiri are busy murdering innocent southern corpers in the North, while their useless leaders are busy shopping in London.

can you shut the f up u envious goat

how is it gloating, when it is a normal thing

hausa is a language spoken in 5-7 different countries

so it is not only nigerians but other hausa speaking countries

Hausa is the only African language that is taken seriously, other than perhaps swahili, so we should take this as good news. I have always thought the Hausa language should be the lingua Franca of Africa rather than English/French/English/French.

Gbam! Here is another Mutallab in the making! After they are thoroughly jaded from squandering southern Nigeria's oil and VAT revenue in London, the spoilt Arewa brats in London turn into suicide bombers to redeem their 72 virgins fantasy. I'm sure this one here is already practising wearing suicide diapers.

Abeg, show me any Hausa-speaking area in West Africa/Sahel/ Darfur that is not ravaged by poverty, high maternal/infant mortality, polio, meningitis etc? Show us the poverty indices for northern Ghana/Togo/Benin as well as Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, Darfur and other areas with Hausa communities if you have the guts. Is it any coincidence that ALL these countries I just listed are categorized by the UN and World Bank as among the Least Developed Countries?

You are not even ashamed - the masses of your people are ravaged by rampant poverty and disease yet you are here defending the hopeless elites that are busy squandering their criminal loot in London. For all the corruption and misgovernance in the south, I thank God at least the southern elites do not prevent their people from acquiring Western education and so the southern masses have the ability to empower themselves and improve their lives irrespective of bad leaders. There is no part of southern Nigeria that is as wretched as the North. But in the North, the useless leaders not only loot, they actively prevent their people from going to school so that they don't acquire Western education and start to challenge them. Hence the northern masses have absolutely no way of escaping poverty in this life. No wonder they turn to almajiri and Boko Haram and then start butchering innocent youth corpers.

Any Hausa-speaking person with any bit of sense in his or her skull would be cringing and hiding right now on reading the original post.

BTW, mumu, the big spenders in London are from northern Nigeria, not the Sahel or Darfur. The Debenhams' ad is squarely targetted at the corrupt squandermaniac elite of northern Nigeria, not Nigeriens or Darfuris.

pleep:

Hausa is the only African language that is taken seriously, other than perhaps swahili, so we should take this as good news. I have always thought the Hausa language should be the lingua Franca of Africa rather than English/French/English/French.

Speak for yourself. Hundreds of millions of Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesians etc are paying premium to learn English. Even some Nigerians are working as English language teachers in China and other parts of East Asia while you want to learn the language of polio and Boko Haram. Good luck with that.

Some of you don't know what time it is. GEJ's election was a watershed. The era of Hausa political domination in Nigeria has been finally broken. 'One North' is dead and buried for ever. The Arewa yansh has finally been exposed as toothless tigers. Nigeria will fall apart before Hausa is made the lingua franca.

WHATEVER!!! Black Stomachhhhhhhh!!!

Do you know the MAIN reason why they NEVER broadcast in Yoruba or Igbo? Do you? You won't like to know why. I tell yah.

It seems people are trying not to hurt your feelings and are refusing to tell you the facts.

I will!!!

The reason these media companies have an Hausa service is not because Hausa language is becoming more popular or having more global significance. It is because their is a large mass of Hausas or Hausa speakers in West Africa and majority are uneducated illiterates. I repeat, illiterates.

About 65 percent of Hausas in Nigeria cannot read and write. In Borno, 72% of kids have never been to school. How do you want those kids to be able to listen and understand English broadcast in future? Only less than 3% of southern kids have not been to school. And one wouldn't be surprised if majority of these kids that have not been to school in the south are northern kids living in South and counted with southerners.

So these media companies only have Hausa service because they know most Hausas cannot understand English. They cannot read, write or understand it when they hear. These media companies have no such problem with other major tribes in Nigeria, so the English service is sufficient and there is no need for a tailored service in those languages.

Mate, that is not a thing to be proud of.

Slap yourself.

Now, let's say you employed MORI to do this research, what exactly would MORI do?



Now, the reason why I mentioned Primark owners is that Primark is cheap yet AB Foods is FTSE100. So, Debenhams being FTSE250 means nothing.

What kind of shyt is this?

So you think the higher your market capitalisation, the more expensive you should be?

Please don't be chatting such shyt with me, mate.

ola olabiy:

Besides, Debenhams being FTSE250 doesn't mean they can't be guilty of poor calculation/research.

Prudential is FTSE100 but they got their bid for AIG Asian arm wrong. A very big company, for that matter.


They lost a whopping 500 million pounds as a result of this failed bid.



So, Debenhams simply picked a Nigerian (major) language. Not as a result of any thorough research work.

What a dumb comparison!!!

You want to compare the complexities and ambiguities involved in a Merger & Acquisition with the simplicity involved with Market research?

You can as well dumbly compare building a concorde plane with building a fisherman's rowing wooden canoe.

What a stewpid comparison!

You didn't wonder why M&A peopel make over £1m a year. You think it is for easy work.

[b]Contrary to wrong impression " Yoruba" is the most widely spoken language in Nigeria and the West African coast line.

There are  Yoruba indigenous  speakers in Benin, Togo and a small pocket in eastern Ghana,  and EMIGRATED Yoruba's running into their millions in Ghana, Cote de Voire, Serria Leone and The Gambia. These people has become part and parcel of the fabric of these nations. The fallacy that a sparsely sahelian wasteland  holds huge populations of a tribe called " Hausa" is  a misconception by the colonial powers involved over the scramble for Africa, it is something they have to come to terms with. Clearly it is a blatant lie and a sham fed by lazy delusive foreign media who have not bothered to do a proper ground-work over the Ethino-graphical composition of West-African tribes.

In most Pakistani meat sellers shop in London you are most likely to be greeted with " e ka ro" or "se dada ni" or " ba wo ni" than any other language in the West African coast, so are the names of the different parts of meat sold in these markets. I am more comfortable to walk into any meat seller in london and tell them I want " Shaki" or " Pomo" a Yoruba word for tripe and the hide of cow than use any other synonym .

You are reetarded!

Anybody with sense and commercial awareness would be able to conclude such a company will find out things before making such a decision.

If Debenhams concludes, after research, that there is significant number of Hausas shopping in their store and spending a lot of money, anybody with a brain should agree except they have contradictory data, not mooronic conjectures.

You think such companies hire conjecture-throwing, under-educated dunces like you to make their commercial decisions?

You think a significant number of the staff in the store will not know that majority of Nigerians in the UK are Yoruba?

Most of the floor staff would have a Yoruba/Igbo Nigerian friend or even have dated one. Some of the staff would even be Yoruba/Igbo/other Nigerian kids? You fooool!

And you think considering the wealth of knowledge available to Debenhams from its research and staff, such a company will pick a Nigerian language arbitrarily and it will be Hausa they will pick?

You are too dumb to know there is some statistical and cultural significance to selecting the language?

You think a company like that makes decisions based on conjectures? You think their senior staff are at your intellectual level?

Some clarity for your stewpid brain, what I meant by referring to staff is that: IF they were to select a Nigerian language ARBITRARILY based broadly on Nigerians (as you daftly conjectured) because they don't know Nigerian tribes, they would have most likely selected Yoruba because their staff will know most of the Nigerians in UK are Yoruba. For them to pick Hausa, a person with a brain, not conjecture-throwing mugus like you, would conclude they had researched it, instead of your daft conclusion that they arbitrarily chose it.
