problem with Nigerians is that they look down on the Hausa people, but you will be shocked at the number of Havard and Yale graduates that work in State Parastatals in their cities, they acquire their degrees from Abroad and HEAD BACK HOME!

Check around you, how many hausas do you see flipping burger at McDonald or doing LPN abi na CPN, /RN?

Strip them of their babanriga, take away their traditions-tied-to-Koran, and you will see human beings with above average IQs.

I agree with you, I met one hausa guy and I had to ask him where his other brothers were 'cos he is the first and only Hausa person I've met since I've been in this country, 14yrs to be precise.

Funny enough, I was told he's the son of some kinda ambassador and works at the Nigerian Embassy. His wife who is yoruba tells me hausa people don't have minimal jobs like the rest of us so it will be difficult to run into them just like an Igbo man will run into a yoruba man at Giant.
