Arabic literacy and its Hausa culture?
Brazil’s African heritage is far richer and more diverse than any single ethnic narrative can capture. Yoruba contributions deserve recognition, but so do the remarkable contributions of the Hausa and other African peoples.
Hausa people from Hausaland, including Kano and Katsina, were transported to Bahia during the transatlantic slave trade. They brought with them a rich tradition of Islamic scholarship, Arabic literacy, religious knowledge and community organisation. They were also prominent in the resistance against slavery, playing leading roles in several rebellions in Bahia between 1807 and 1816.
Their legacy went beyond resistance. Consider Manoel Joaquim Ricardo, a Hausa man who arrived in Brazil enslaved, eventually secured his freedom and became a wealthy businessman. His life is a powerful example of the resilience, enterprise and determination of Hausa people.
The Hausa story is part of Brazil’s African history, alongside the contributions of Yoruba, Igbo, Fon, Ewe and many other peoples.
This is not a competition between African ethnic groups. It is an opportunity to celebrate the depth of our collective heritage.

The easiest way to stay mediocre is to keep your goals abstract and your days unexamined.
lol… the scientific solution the frauds in Lagos could come up with when it comes to flood management is to raid supermarkets of Caparison with plastic straws. Unimaginable lots.
Despite recent heavy rainfall, Tehran’s advanced flood management system—featuring over 735 kilometers of primary networks and underground tunnels—performed flawlessly, safely channeling stormwater away from the city. Engineering excellence in service of urban resilience. 🌧️

Peter Obi is not speaking the truth concerning his deportation of beggars from Anambra when he was governor. In 2011, he deported beggars and sent them back to Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom, which is why his attacks on Fashola in 2013 were considered hypocritical

Eledumare forbids it! That it is foreigners that will make my own spirituality appealing to me. That foreigners would repackage my own spirituality back to me before I see the beauty and force in it. My ancestors forbids it!

Lool. I don't even like Peter Obi. After he based his campaign for Obiano in Anambra on an anti-Yoruba sentiment, he lost me.

These are my tweets from February and March attacking Peter Obi for his anti-Yoruba campaign.

Seyi for 2027
Seyi Makinde: I Am Not Running as Anyone's Deputy; I Am Offering Yoruba People an Alternative
Ojy: So, you don't believe Yoruba voters see you as a betrayal?
Seyi Makinde: I think Nigeria is currently at a crossroads. If the solution must come from a Yoruba president, then Yoruba people must have choices. I am not running as someone's deputy; I am the one running.
The inability of this administration to tackle economic challenges, insecurity and other national issues is not a Yoruba agenda. As a Yoruba man, I am offering an alternative to the Yoruba people.
During the kidn@pping incident in Ogbomoso, I expected the President to call me. However, I tried reaching out to him, but my calls did not go through. Up till today, I am yet to speak with him.
