Arewa People Come In Here by fk001(m): 9:13am On Aug 02, 2017
Good morning my fellow mutanen Arewa , its obvious i created this account because i was banned

Let me just go straight to the point, the first reason for creating this thread is i want to create a strong bond and relationship between us irrespective of our diverse culture, religion, gender, political zones and age. Because to the southerners once you are from the north whether you are a Christan or Muslim, Middle belt or core north (in fact i don't know anything like middle belt all i know is *North central*) you are just an abok!i in their eyes, unfortunately they didn't know abok! literally means "my friend" in hausa, so is not a big deal we can cope with that.


My second reason for creating this thread is, i have observed something common among our southern counterparts, they have this myopic thought about north geographical location, its people, and culture. If a Northerner does something bad you will hear them say "we are backward" they will generalized and they won't even give us benefit of doubt, and if something good comes from the north, instead for them to applaud they will say " he is from rich family or an elite son" In north we are all equal and we don't have *caste system*. So i want us to prove them wrong.


Lastly i want us to do something tangible in our various community/locations, like creating an awareness to our local people on the relevance of education, and also volunteering to the victims of insurgency, I personally have took countless of almajiris off the street and enrolled them in western school while they are still going to islamiya, i am not bragging no showing off, i just want you to do the same in your various communities and let the circle continue until we achieve our goal.

Please let's not be selfish and neglect our brothers in abject illiteracy and poverty,its 21st century please.

fk001. go and remove that your username from the post. If the mod see it, its 10 years ban that you created alternative moniker. Quickly remove your original username from that post because we all understand who you're.


Thank you for your move.

That's the problem, some of them hardly leave their comfort zone but they are the first to judge northerners if something happens.

North is very vast and diverse.

I'm from Kogi but not Arewa. I'm a proud Oduduwa guy. Besides only the Gbagyis and Ebira Koto will claim Arewa in kogi.

Idk. But as widely used, it's used to refer to the northern part of Nigeria(mostly Hausa-fulani). Starting from Zariagi(after lokoja) to Obajana(where i reside) to Kabba to Ayetoro to Egbe and the whole okunland is more of southwest than north geographically. The Ebira Okene and Igarras are more of south-south while the Igalas are more of south-east. Only the Ebira Koto under Koto-kanfe Lga and the gbagyis are more of the northern part. Infact the latter two speak Hausa sometimes more than their native language.

No. Arewa is a Hausa word which means north. It has nothing to do with being Hausa. North America is called in Hausa " American Arewa"


So as afar you are in 19 northern state you're from the north and that that word north is called AREWA IN HAUSA. So the op was not calling hausa here but all Yan Arewa (all northerners )
