    Hello from the land of Ashur and Nineveh, My brothers and sisters in blood, There was a paper published in 2021 that agued based on historical evidence that the Hausa people of Kebbi state in Nigeria are dereddened from Ashur-Uballit II the last Assyrian monarch who fled Harran along with his soldiers and powerful countrymen. They fled Mesopotamia in 609 BC and reached Kebbi in 600 BC. Assyrians were mostly killed or enslaved after the fall of Nineveh. However, few of us fled into Hakkari mountains in today's Turkey and lived there until 1915 during which Ottomans committed a genocide against our people and we lost two thirds of our populations. However, only recently we were informed that the royal families and military personnel led by our last king fled into West Africa saving the rest of the nation and forming the Hausa Kingdom. It's 2600 years that we lost contact of you guys. Even though we were converted to Christianity in 4th century and you guys to Islam in 14th century both of which were conspiratorial but we have the same blood and history. Imagine if we unite once more and bring back the glory of Assyrian Empire. ---Love

    Not so correct . Fulani and Hausa are two distinct groups . In Nigeria they do intermarry because they are both predominantly Muslim and live in close proximity in the cities of northern nigeria . However , there are Fulani in other parts of Africa and even in nigeria , those in the rural areas and villages do not intermarry. They are not Hausa-Fulani . They are Hausa and Fulani just as you have Yoruba , Igbo , Hausa , Kanuri , Nupe etc all distinct groups

Fulani are nomads and they have small villages and they speak fulfulde also know as Fulani or Fula . While Hausa villages are different with a different culture and they speak Hausa language very different from Fulani. They only intermarry in the cities due to religious affiliations .

    @ 2:14 You best describe it! Hausa is the incoporation and integration of many ethnic groups. Hausas in the northwest are more Fulani influenced, those of northeast are more Kanuris while those around Kano are regarded as "true" Hausas. So someone saying he/she is a Hausa-Fulani just means that he is a Hausa speaker with Fulani roots, although he neither tend to cattle nor speak the Fulfulde language.

    Hausa people exist before the advant of Kanuri, and later in the 15 th century, the advant of fulani pastoralists. Hausa exist also in Niger Republic area before the Usman Jihad (Damagaram Sultante, Arewa Kingdom, Ader Kingdoms, Kurfey etc.). In Niger the Population of Hausa is 16 millions 56 % of the population and are not mixed with fulani except a very small number. The true original hausas are in the region of Arewa Dogondoutchi, Gobir, Kurfey, AZNAs of Ader, Maradi, Damagaram and in the mountains of Ayar in Niger Republic. Original Hausas exist also in all the other ancient hausa cities :Daura, Katsina, Rano, Kano, Kabi, Zamfara etc. Above all in the rural area.

    Hausa people are more linked to Kanuri and berbers (tuaregs) than fulani. Before, it was a disgrace to marry a fulani within hausa custums. Some to discourage this would told their community that you will become poor even though you are a rich....

    The Hausa were also merchants and slavers. They were and still are the dominant tribe within Africa. Yet the Hausa woman are some of the most beautiful women in Africa next to the Yoruba tribe women. Fulani tribe is a tribe that’s pretty much merged into the Hausa tribe. The only way to tell if someone is Fulani is their face tattoos.

    Hausa and Fulani are not merged , they are distinct groups of people . In northern nigeria they do intermarry because they live in close proximity and are both predominantly Muslim however the cultures are different . You might think they have merged when looking from the outside and because politically, the nigerian media would mention it as Hausa-Fulani , however , this is far from true, you will clearly see this if you lived in the north parts of Nigeria , just as Hausa , Igbo , Yoruba are different tribes , Hausa and Fulani are distinct , its only in the cities you might find them living together and intermarrying but this does not make them merged . Culturally , they have different traditions , different villages , speak different languages , they even have tribal conflicts in the rural areas up till this day
