@gimbakakanda is an unfortunate alarmist, full of some inherent bitterness from God-knows-where. I have never read anywhere where it is said that an "Arewa culture" means every tribe must be seen as a Hausa. How many of us are actually Hausa by tribe? And even if we are, so what?
I know for one, my origin is Kukawa in present Borno state, a lineage we have traced through my Kusfa grandparent. Though my parent were all born in Kaduna, & we all have adopted Hausa as a tribe, what is a big deal about a tribe? Who says your tribe defines how special you are?
But I understand one thing about this fragrant little life of a boy, he has a pain he might have inherited from somewhere, & he uses every single opportunity to express how his small mind can't accept the fact that what he & his likes think about an ideology or a person doesn't
matter a bit. People like Gimba only places his plain nose into places where he can smell any opportunity to amplify his denseness & he grabs it. Tribe is nothing. Ethnic affiliation is nothing. But any culture that our religion doesn't frown it isn't something we will ever be
ashamed of identifying with, anytime and anyday.
