@jikanMasani It’s fascinating how Kano has absorbed many different groups into a shared identity. That’s why identifying as Bahaushe doesn’t mean being “pure” Hausa. It reflects a broader cultural belonging and that’s something the people of Kano should take pride in.

@shbka_ Kano was the New York or London of the trans-Saharan world. It brought in the best merchants, scholars, and craftsmen from across the continent. But the genius of the civilization is that they all became Hausa.

List of inner city wards in Kano alongside their founders and main ethnic settlers. Many groups here would identify today as “Kano Hausa” though and may not be aware of their origins.

These people must think we eat jollof rice in Nigeria on a daily basis, I promise y’all there are tons of other dishes in Nigeria than just jollof rice (which ain’t even ours originally).

@TijjaniImam1 @jikanMasani I’m also a proud Hausa. Even though I have heritage linked to Bare-bari and Fulani, my father is Barume a Hausa sub-clan, so I choose Hausa as my identity, not based on “pure” bloodlines but on belonging and culture.

@Jajjage @jikanMasani Im Hausa and proud of being one. It's our open arm gesture that attracted immigrants into Hausaland. It's the gross dishonesty that propel my people aligning with their Hausa identity.

@TijjaniImam1 @jikanMasani If you fully identify as Hausa, operate entirely within the culture, and have no other active allegiance, you are pure Hausa. The purity of the Hausa identity is proven by its ability to absorb people, not repel them. It is a shared reality, which makes it far more resilient.

@TijjaniImam1 @jikanMasani Hausa built a civilization based on commerce, urbanization, and expansion. You cannot build a global trade hub in the Sahel while keeping your bloodline closed. "pure Hausa" is about absolute adherence to the identity, the language, the culture, and the urban values.

@OpeBee Not this time. I’m from the North, and I can tell you even if Pharaoh were on the ballot, many would choose him over Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The era of voting based on “Muslim-Muslim” or Arewa sentiment is fading.

Politics 101: The truth is only a Northerner can defeat the president. A Southerner in the opposition cannot pull off the votes from NW and NE needed to unseat the incumbent. Unfortunately for the opposition, the president has done a great job by consolidating on his southern bloc. Obi/RMK will be an effort in futility.

Na wetin I talk that time be this wey dey make some people vex. If a northerner is not on ballot, majority of the people in NE and NW will rather cast their vote for APC/BAT again. Most of Atiku and RMK votes in NE and NW in 2023 would have gone to BAT/APC if their men were not on ballot. I don't write the rules. Na observation based on wetin we know of voting behaviour of Nigerians. Tweet muted.

@W1L33DAU So even if a claim like the one about Queen Amina’s father, turns out to be uncertain or even incorrect, it doesn’t change the broader point.

@W1L33DAU And from that perspective, the discussion becomes less about “who was originally what” and more about how people and rulers fit into and contributed to that civilization.

You can call her Hausa queen.She isn’t Hausa.She just ruled over them 🤷‍♂️
Mustapha Ibrahim@Jajjage

@barbaren41 So it’s reasonable to refer to her as a Hausa queen because she belongs to that civilization.

@Msada52 @jikanMasani Agreed and that’s how it should be. But the way the “Hausa-Fulani” label was formalized during the British colonial era in Nigeria, combined with elite fixation on bloodlines and hyphenated identities, can function as a tool for gatekeeping power. Now it's becoming an issue

@Jajjage @jikanMasani The term was invented by the British because of their racist obsession with lineage. They can't call the fodiyawa Fulani because they're Hausa in all but lineage. But here people identify by their state - Bakatsine, Bakano... That's the all encompassing identity not even Hausa.

@Msada52 @jikanMasani but the constant push to call it Hausa-Fulani, or to remind people that the identity is mixed, is not a history lesson it is a form of active ideological conditioning and for the millions of people who simply identify as Hausa, their lived experience is their absolute validation.

@Jajjage @jikanMasani I didn't use mongrel negatively. I meant it in the best possible way. Take it as Hausa is a melting point of identities who melted to become what we now call Hausa. Dan Masani in Katsina is of Borno descent. Dan Marna is of Arabic descent but they're Katsinawa as Dikko.

@barbaren41 She can be whatever her origin is, but as long as she lived in Hausaland and ruled one of its kingdoms, she is part of Hausa civilization. That’s how civilizations like Rome and Persia worked people became part of a broader cultural and political system.

The Dad of Amina was litteraly fulani, a tukulor from Fouta Toroo😂 Let’s stay serious

AYIMS@iamayims

Even amongst fula-we have “maguzawa”, now for your information the Hausas have a rich history that existed before danfodio. Sarki Rumfa in Kano wasn’t fulani and he built the current emirs palace and took it to the location it was. The twin Kings of Nawata and Gawata werent fulani Amina wasn’t fulani. Daura isn’t fulani. If you want to identify as Hausa-fulani that is fine, but the vast majority of these people are Hausa and not fulani. They also had a rich history before 1800s. Denying the reality of Hausa people is why we have these arguments every now and then.
