@ghostbonny590: My question is simple: Do you know the history of your people beyond religion? Because your ancestors had a history before your religion became part of it.

Levi 🤍🇮🇱 :

Wait who n who is Hausa? I have this strong feelings that Igbo is plenty than Hausa in Abuja

Misa :

I don't even know an Hausa name.... it only Arabic names

Tina Christ🌺💎 :

Lancelot attah :

I don’t know y anytime someone talk about the northern part of Nigeria there will just make it looks like u are attacking Islam

tipsy_xx💙 :

I'm a northerner and I am a Christian. I don't know why they always want to make everything about their religion

Hon-shalom 🖤🤍 :

religion is the worst brainwash in our planet

Ahmad :

Before the spread of Islam, the core Hausa kingdoms were Daura, Kano, Katsina, Zazzau (Zaria), Gobir, Rano, and Biram (Garun Gabas). Other historical states associated with Hausaland include Zamfara, Kebbi, and Yauri. Islam didn’t erase our Hausa identity, it guided our religious beliefs. We still speak Hausa, practise our cultural traditions, and preserve our heritage. The main difference is that Islam changed our religious practices, steering Muslims away from traditional worship and rituals that conflict with Islamic teachings. Our people have also adopted Arabic names. Many do so out of love for the Prophets (peace be upon them all) and their companions, while others simply prefer them over Hausa names. Unfortunately, some even look down on their own names and heritage. Alhamdulillah for Islam, which gave us religious guidance while allowing us to retain our language and cultural identity. And brother, Arewa simply means the North. It doesn’t mean every Northerner is Muslim, nor does it mean Muslims have Islamised the entire region. Northern Nigeria has Christians, Muslims, and people who still practise traditional religions, including Bori. I hope this clears things up. Understanding the North requires understanding its history, culture, and religious diversity.

REMINDER ⏰ :

This is why I don’t like to discuss issues like this. The religious leaders have succeeded in making most of them forget their roots

Curiosity :

They know the truth and they keep covering it up 😅😅

Oma Igala :

Na why I like Igbo ppl ,even if them be Christians them no dey take their traditions play

Rakel Akombo :

honestly they don't know who they are any longer, my dad had books on the original hausa people from a long time ago.

hyvoltage :

Their dressing and culture changed to Arab culture because of religion

Godstime Hilary :

Don Victoria :

elianaonah00 :

I will really love to know as a Northern Christian that grew up in Kebbi state and Kano.

Anastasia 🥀🏵️💐 :

Dr. Osaretin P. Uwaifo :

Valid question

Zaidu Aminu :

San petra homes delight :

Religion took over there culture...

Edu Asomba :

iam.beeli :

Before the Islam/Christianity our ppl had their own traditional religious beliefs including beliefs in spirits (iskoki,bori and many other practices And our dressing didn’t change uptill now. We have our traditional wear of dressing, may b u just don’t know enough about our culture.
