No! Wasaba did not have any single hausa origin.
She's a real nupe woman born and bred by a strong Nupe mother in Nupe land. Bida is her homeland, yet she hardly did anything in Bida because she was fighting for all northern women, so she had to take her battle to the major centres of the old northern region.

havennie:
The old regional system of govt did not favour we from minority groups.

Hajiya Gambo Wasaba did all her campaigns and her agitation in Hausa language and not her own native Nupe language simply because hausas controlled the Northern region and she must blend in to gain acceptance.
This was also same case with Margaret Ekpo.

I bet if Funmilayo Ransome Kut had been a Bendelite, she would have functioned from Lagos or Ibadan which were the centres of the old western region and not Warri or Benin.

Get d difference Nitwitt
We minorities were like slaves in the old regional govt system, but thank God today nothing like that anymore.

Silly igbo boy
Understand what havennie & IanSweet are trying to explain to u and stop bragging like a slowpoke.
The regional system of government was what made Margaret Ekpo to function more from Aba and igbo areas.

Where were the igbos when Margaret's Efik mother struggled to bring her up?
Where were her igbo people when her ibibio husband helped her to realise her destiny and dream as a political activist?
Where are igbos today when Efik people named their airport in Calabar after their beloved daughter Margaret?
infact u people are supposed to hide ur faces on this thread instead of bragging unnecesarily here. Nonsense!

It is becoming clearer what the purpose of this shitty thread is all about. This toad eating galago stumbled on death itself.

You are stupid for this remark!

Talking as if he didn't read his own article. Stupid pig

I tire. How do you start a thread and misread or misunderstand the content of your post. Crazy.

Nowenuse:
Also, based on the 5 major human geographical divisions we have in Nigeria

The Core-northern part of Nigeria, the Middlebelt part, Eastern, Western & Niger deltan

Let's say Margaret Ekpo represents the Niger deltan region as an Ibibio
Ladi Kwali represents the Middlebelt region as a Gbagyi woman
& Funmilayo Kuti represents the Western (yoruba speaking region)

I'd like to hear from Igbos (easternerns) and the Hausa-fulanis (core-northernerns), who are the most influential Igbo & Hausa-fulani women that ever lived??

Margaret Ekpo was an Igbo who married an Ibibio. she was an Aro Igbo and not an Niger Delta shiit!

Let me tell you something do you know why this your middle belt thing would never materialized? The tribes are too diverse have no coherent cause,tribes dont like each other.. always talking if marginalization when they marginalize other groups at slightest opportunity e.g igala in kogi, tiv in benue, berom in plateau... and lastly the people you guyz hate are all around you if you like call them setlers that doesn't change anything.. from jos north,suleja, and lot of places we populate.. lastly lets not forget lafia city a slave outpost was one of the cities we create to capture your grandfathers... you despise us but we are too far ahead of you our influence on you is dominant from language..culture etc

The OP forgot in his bid to be mischievous that Imo and Abia are part of the Niger Delta and unwittingly answered his own question about Igbo representation.

cheruv:

Nne m,
the rate people get high on Igbo issues is getting out of hand!

meolaniyi:
She is not igbo. attachee by force. Ekpo can never be Igbo. and she will never be Igbo.
you guys should look for your own. Rubbish! how can she be Igbo? she is not Igbo. Fumi, is full Yoruba. Ekpo is not Igbo. before you
know it now they will claim her like they want to claim Lagos. SS people don't allow this covetous people to claim one of your own.

This is getting too much of you people. every thing they want to claim. spit on you people

PreciousBro:


You are a dimwitted monkey with the IQ of a sick and oil pregnant toad.

Ooh ,we were in Margaret herself. She represented us very well.

You also fail to see the Nsukka thing abi ?

Useless son of a lost drone you call a father didn't raise you well enough to halt tribalism in your bigoted and shallow thread .if you quote me again I guarantee you this thread will change gear to your internment. Ike-azu

Bulls eye!
So, what were you trying to prove by comparing these two women?

havennie:


My sister abeg help me ask them oo.

Seriously, this stupid Nigerian culture where all the credit goes to the father is very very stupid.
The mother owns the child as equally as the father does.
U will see the father's people reject the mother and her child when the father dies, but tomorrow when the mother has managed to raise the child on her own and the child becomes succesful, all the stupid father's people will come out to start laying claims and the same uncles will sit down to collect the bride price if the child is a female.

Where were Margaret's father's igbo people when her mother was struggling to raise her up?
If Margaret's father's people were truly responsible, they would have collected Margaret from the mother when her father died, but they didn't, but when she became succesful, all of them wanted to lay claims.
Thank God Margaret later married from her mother's side to further bind her lineage to her Efik-Ibibio roots, but see Margaret, her father's side even enjoyed more of her than her mother's side because almost all her works were based in Aba, and Aba women benefitted more from her.

U are the one with a low IQ mr man, only extremely moronic ppl resort to insults when they have no options left.
what a pity!

kaura5000:
Your madness just increased by the addition of nupe in this your middle belt nonsense...nupe dont subscribe to this idiocy.. fools

Nowenuse:
Igbos and Hausas are typically the same seriously.

They both have wasted egos and are always troubling the minority groups of their region and trying to claim their achievements. They always result to insults on the slightest provocation just to back up their wasted egos.

This is why i so much love the yorubas, they are silent achievers, they dont make noise like the Igbos or Hausas who are always quarelling and fighting each other.

Igbos & Hausas are the 2 major problems of Nigeria.

havennie:


U are just very very blind and myopic not to see the similarities between both women, cos even a kindergarten student following the thread would have noticed the similarities.

Both Wasaba n Ekpo were female activities from minoritu groups who fought for the emancipation of the women from their region.
