@Iamindo0 To an extent it serves Hausas right at least we will learn. A fulani will never ever support a Hausa person, they dislike Hausas so much, there is no one fulanis hate as much as the Hausas but Hausawa da ba su san ciwon kan su ba will take a bullet for fulani.

Aisha Bello™ 🔻@Iamindo0·
Hausa zallah aside, if you go to any random post on Facebook, you will find a Hausa man from Katsina, Zamfara, or Sokoto lamenting about "Fulani" killings. Five years ago, he would have been the same person who would have defended and taken a bullet if an Igbo or Yoruba person accused Fulani herdsmen. We were here when it was even hard to distinguish between Hausa and Fulani because when an account insulted Fulani, hundreds of Hausa accounts would come and drag the person. Now, the same Hausas on this app whom you wouldn't have been able to tell if they were Hausa or Fulani are boldly ostracizing Fulani. Now, instead of accusing an external source of causing division, ask yourself: why is the Hausa man suddenly pointing fingers at you? If he's been paid, as you said, why is the brother who was always ready to take the bullet suddenly being paid to be against you? Bello Turji and Ado Aliero openly said they are targeting Hausawa and their monarchs, yet Hausawa didn't collectively stereotype the whole tribe. So why suddenly does the Hausa man not want to separate the wheat from the chaff? Do you think Hausa would have taken this from any tribe? Wallahi inda inyamurai ne ko yarbawa wallahi sai dai ko su qare ko mu qare The answer is simple. The silence from the Fulani elites is loud enough for a Hausa man to realize he is alone in this fight. They have since avoided calling the culprits by their names. Even on social media, everyone can see clearly how you are avoiding the truth by undermining their crimes and subtly defending their actions. If the Fulani leaders, Miyetti Allah, and all popular accounts on social media would take the mic today and call the Fulani militias by their names, call for their extradition no one will stereotype the whole tribe of banditry You can call me a bigot or a separatist but ita dai gaskiya daya ce.

@Profmosun The problem with fulanis is because they dont know where they come from and they have lost their identity, they want everyone else to also loose theirs

Unity according to some people in the North means discarding your Hausa identity. Olorun saanu.

Up until the death of Ado Bayero, I wasn't conscious of Hausa and Fulani being a different ethnic group, until one evening after the coronation of sunusi. I was reading an advertisement board and the words struck me like a lighting bolt. The sentence written was

Okay they hate Hausa but so do the fulanis who also hate and kill Hausas and we dont see fulanis condemning them. We have fulani imams saying there is no tribe like Hausa
Sister__@ana_herleemerh

Those preaching to you that Hausas are marginalized in today's Arewa are truly manipulating you !!! One of their deepest wishes is to witness a tribal crisis between Hausas and Fulanis in their lifetime !!! They can't murder both tribes themselves, so they resort to another strategy, to pushing lies, dangerous narratives, and baseless allegations just to light the fire !!! Ask yourself this, when there's civil unrest in some southern Nigerian communities, do they segregate between Hausa and Fulani !!! Or do they treat you as one, when Plateau Berom Christian terrorists waylay muslim travelers,Massacred Muslims on Eid ground, do they differentiate between Hausa and Fulani, No !!! When Southern Kaduna Christians terrorists lynched Muslims, do they separate Fulani and Hausas? No!! They murder both tribes !!! Ask yourself, when Hausa hunters were beating to death and set ablaze in Uromi last year, did you hear any of these sudden lovers of Hausa speaking up and demanding justice for the slain hunters, NO !!! Different sets of Hausas Travellers were massacred in Plateau State not to mention the internal killing by the Christians, did you hear any of these sudden lovers of Hausa speaking up and demanding justice? NO They were all mute or justifying the killing !!!! This shows you they only care about you when they want to use you as a proxy against the Fulani to set the entire region ablaze !!! Several pastors, Reverend Fathers, and a church treasurer have been arrested in connection with terrorism, but they remain silent about it. Meanwhile,their pages are full of content condemning Islamic scholars in the name of fighting for the Hausa. If you observe carefully, you will see how Northern Christians full their comment section supporting them, and even changing their names to Muslims names, the same people that slaughter both Hausa and Fulani in any given opportunity that comes their ways. The truth is, they hate both Hausa and Fulani !!! They are only applying the divide and conquer approach on you !!! We are all victims of bad governance no doubt about it !!! Don't let any mugu use you against your brothers !!

Another issue is that not every Hausa person has Fulani relatives, so why can’t they simply identify as purely Hausa
Gimba Kakanda@gimbakakanda

The Hausa-Fulani Debate This trending debate about the two ethnic groups dancing on the edge of an unmistakable rupture has, to me, always been a debate about political convenience disguised as ethnic certainty. They are two distinct groups, marked by different linguistic and cultural idiosyncrasies. Whatever the Fulani share with the Hausa, they also share, in one form or another, with other groups, just as the Hausa share traits with peoples beyond the Fulani. The difference is that these other groups rarely lose their consciousness of self. The traditional institutions across many northern communities are headed by monarchs of Fulani ancestry, and this is true even among the Nupe emirates in Nigeria. The Etsu Nupe in Bida and the Emir of Lapai, for instance, have distinctly Fulani ancestry, yet neither hyphenates his ethnic identity. They identify simply as Nupe, and that is the end of the matter. There is nothing in the cultural expression of a Hausa mixed with Fulani that is not, in similar ways, expressed among the Nupe mixed with Fulani. Culture is fluid. Identity is fluid too. We should be honest enough to admit this. Hausa is, of course, culturally magnetic, and that is why it has succeeded in becoming the Bermuda Triangle of many languages in northern Nigeria. Many of us grew up struggling to balance Hausa and our native language, trying not to lose one in the dominance of the other. But that cultural force is not enough reason to reduce Hausa to a mere language, as some tend to theorise, or to deny that it belongs to a distinct people. That would be like arguing that the universality of English means there are no distinct English people. A language can travel widely, absorb others, and still remain the language of a people whose distinct identity does not vanish with its spread. If these Nupe royal families, many of whom are patrilineally Fulani but maternally Nupe, could identify simply as Nupe and nothing more, then I believe every group can do the same—to choose a part that aligns with their reality. To me, that offers a practical template for integration among us. What it exposes, instead, is the poverty of a social arrangement in denial of lived identity, where accommodation rests solely on the father’s origin. That may satisfy the logic of patriarchy, but it does not satisfy the logic of justice, social reality, or national cohesion. We live, however, in a patrilineal society that compels the child to inherit the father’s identity, and this logic extends even into our notions of indigeneship and citizenship. Unless we are prepared to uphold that rigidity consistently, or else allow all of us to bear the identities of both parents, we are simply living a lie. My objection to the Hausa-Fulani categorisation is not that it is inherently flawed, for it reflects a social reality many of us already recognise. It is that the arrangement is self-serving, privileging one set of interethnic identities while denying the same legitimacy to others. Our society would be far more honest with itself if it embraced our maternal identities and values just as seriously as it does the paternal. That would not only weaken this patriarchal inheritance of identity, but also deepen integration. I made this argument years ago in a column where I advanced the case for bilateral descent. Every child is the product of two parents, two lineages, two inheritances. In many cases, indeed in most, the child is first shaped by the mother’s language, habits, and culture before any wider socialisation takes hold. It makes no sense, therefore, that a child of a Yoruba father and a Hausa mother, born and bred in Hausa society, formed by its language and customs, should be told to return to a father’s village he has never known whenever questions of belonging or political participation arise. That contradiction is one of the quiet engines of our national polarisation. 1/2
