Lost people 1

We are A lost generation without any regard for our culture, tradition or religion. How can we prefer other people's practices and abandon ours? We the Hausa Fulanis have a rich culture, sound religious and moral orientation but all these are nowhere tobe found in this contemporary generation where the practice of other people's religion, culture and doctrine is the order of the day. Example, our marriages today are just a copy of other people's culture starting from the pre-wedding picture down to the marriage itself where you see the bride in a wedding gown which of borrowed culture or tradition or should I say religion? Even engagements are now between the guy and the lady leaving their parent out of it entirely. At last, we need to come back to our senses because this is all that is wrong with us and let's hold our cultural values and traditions that are not in conflict with our religious belief with high value and promoting our own way of life is more important than helping others promote theirs. To be educated and enlightened doesn't mean to practice other people's tradition and culture. A word they say is enough for the wise.

Honestly I think Hausa culture and tradition is not compatible with modern civilization. For instance according to Hausa culture women should be house wives but we live in the 21st century women should be in the workforce and be in positions. Also it's because of this same primitive Hausa culture you see men marrying anyhow and having outrageous number of children. Most of Hausa culture promotes depenacy of women on men, old fashion lifestyle and silly superstitions.

It's no wonder things are falling apart in the north, it is one thing to not know the rules of islam, and it is another to know and ignore, pre wedding pictures are something else, reception ayi ta mingling with the opposite sex kaman ba hausawa ba, northern people are known to be very modest and reserved. Everything is more like a competition yanzu to impress the gram. Allah yasa mudace ameen

Where you see all these is with a man with a very backward way of thinking, nowadays the responsibilities of the house is sometimes too much for a man alone to handle so as the partner you help out sometimes, or if your family needs something you don't need to ask the man because hakane yake kawo raini... My opinion though

I'm not saying we should leave our culture and copy others but OP sit down and think, wasu abubuwan are too obsolete and primitive and people want to practice them in this modern age. Hausa culture needs to be upgraded gaskiya to fit wanna zamanin.

Are some of the things you call modern civilization compatible with our religion? But we don't even care because it is so called civilization we do anyway without preservation. So is not about what is right or wrong but it is what we feel makes us part of this social qualm.

Women being in the workforce/business and making achievements is compatible with Islam. If you go to rural hausa communities where they practice hausa culture alot, all women are house wives only a few a able to do local business like frying wara, kosai and sorts. because it is believed a woman must end up under a man. even within normal hausa communities you will see it aii immediately a girl clocks 25 they will be asking her yaushe za ta je dakin miji as if she doesn't have her own ambition. so annoying. and you can't deny this fact about hausa culture and how it propagates dependency of women and this is not compatible with the modern world for me
