One of the most disrespectful things they say to Hausa people is “seperate your identity from Islam” or “Islam erased Hausa civilization”. Islam was a primary ingredient in the very formation of Hausa civilization. It didn't erase Hausaness; it gave it a new structure. Ƙasar Hausa came in contact with Islam through north african traders and Hausa merchants accepted it. The kings of city states like Kano and Katsina adopted Islam as a court religion, creating a new prestige culture. The Kano Chronicle records the Wangarawa bringing books and promoting Islam supported by the king, leading to the construction of mosques and refining Islam in Kano. This was a voluntary, strategic adoption not colonial imposition. Comparative perspective: Ethiopia and Rome. Ethiopian identity is completely unintelligible without its Christianity. No one would tell an Ethiopian Christian that their faith is a foreign Arab or Roman imposition that erased their “true” Ethiopian self. Because the adoption was ancient, voluntary, and became a defining source of national identity against external pressure. In Rome; we call the result “Christendom,” a distinct phase of Roman and European civilization, not the death of Roman identity. This is the exact lens through which we view Islam in Ƙasar Hausa. The Title of Sarkin Arna (Chief of the Pagans): In the hierarchical political structure of the Hausa kingdoms, particularly in Kano and Katsina, there existed an official title called Sarkin Arna. This was a chief appointed by the Muslim Emir, whose specific job was to administer the affairs of the Maguzawa community. The development of Ajami writing of Hausa language in Arabic script wasn't a replacement of Hausa with Arabic; it was the enrichment of Hausa civilization, a vast corpus of Hausa poetry, history and statecraft was recorded in Ajami. The Arabic script was used to give written form to the soul of the Hausa people. An illiterate person in Hausa is jāhili, linked to pre-Islamic ignorance. To be literate is to be part of the umma, but the medium of that literacy became uniquely Hausa. This is identity formation, not erasure. One of the world's oldest and most powerful civilizations; Persia (Iran), adopted the Arabic script for their language, this did not erase Persian identity. If one mocks the Hausa for Ajami, one must also mock the Persians for the script of the Shahnameh. Some of our brothers in the south complain about the “Arabic” on the Naira. “Why is Arabic on our currency when English is the official language?” The Ajami script on the Naira is not a symbol of Arab imperialism; it is a monument to our indigenous African civilization. And the Latin script they defend as “neutral” or “Nigerian” is, by their own logic, a foreign import from ancient Asia. The Latin alphabet you are reading right now is not indigenous to Europe. It was adopted from the Greeks, who adopted it from the Phoenicians, a Semitic civilization from Asia (much like Arabic). Rome and Britain adopted a “foreign” religion and writing script (Christianity and phoenetic script) just like Ƙasar Hausa. Islam does not erase our civilization it forms it and we cannot seperate our identity from Islam. Hausa Muslims, Hausa christians and traditionalists are Fully Hausa. #ƘasarHausa #Hausazalla #HausaRenaissance

Who told you that?? Sarkin Daura that has been handing out all those “Ƙasar Hausa” titles is what?

Haɗejiawa dama kuna da gidadawa haka? 😂

Our activist @Bichia_maisango is finally free! His unjust detention did not weaken or silence us; it only increased our morale. The Hausa Renaissance cannot be suppressed. Our cause is noble, our hearts pure, and our passion unwavering. We cannot be intimidated, we fear nothing, and cowards cannot bring us down. Hausa is so great that our enemies’ plots only end up working for it. Bichia is coming home to continue where he left off! #Hausazalla #HausaRenaissance

So there’s a beauty contest between Nigerians and South Africa? 😂😂😂 Its ugly people from both sides that hate the way they look, posting conventionally ‘attractive’ individuals to prove their country has more beauty 😂 The sad part is the response is always “Northern Nigeria people are mixed with Arabs”, “those South Africans are mixed indian orania etc” each group subconsciously believe that beauty is foreign to African populations. Imagine seeing someone you know posted for one of these beauty contests by a dumb cuck from southern Nigeria (or North) that is insecure of their looks. Africans need to do better 🤦🏾‍♂️
