Love
is unpredictable. You can find love anywhere even in the northern city
of Kano where pretty Hausa speaking girls popularly referred to as Yarinyan strut the streets in beautiful regalia.
If
you are in Kano and also fancy dating a Hausa lady, you cannot just
approach her and spill out some romantic lines and expect her to fall
head over – this is not Lagos where
such effrontery can be overlooked. This is why Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1
hotel booking portal shares 5 things you should know before dating a
Hausa girl.
Your chances may be limited if you don’t speak Hausa language
Even
if you speak Queen’s English and cannot communicate in Hausa, your
chances may be limited. Being able to speak Hausa means that you have
successfully maneuvered the first hurdle. With this, you will easily
break the ice and she will definitely give you attention. This is not
saying English won’t work. But speaking Hausa is a perfect bait!
Being Muslim puts you in a vantage position
Besides
speaking Hausa, religion is another key asset northerners consider
important. Because Islam is the predominant religion in Kano and by
extension other parts of the Northern Nigeria, most ladies expect their
men to observe this same mode of worship. Even if the lady accepts your
proposal, her parents may not. It is better not to voyage into a
relationship if you cannot agree on religion. This doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t try your luck!
Better to have a friend signal your interest in her first
Kano
is a conservative state, just like the people. To be on a safe side, it
is better to send an intermediary to convey your love message to the
lady you have been admiring. You should send a trusted friend who can
communicate in Hausa. It is easier and safe.
They like to keep relationships secret and quiet
Islam
dictates the way of life in the largely Muslim North. Public display of
affection, with men and women mingling is unacceptable. If you really
want to enjoy dating a Hausa lady, you should keep the relationship out
of the public eye.
You have to accept their dress culture
More
often than not, you have the Hausa girl draped with an Islamic veil. As
you know, the veil doesn’t show body curves or sensitive parts of the
body. If you cannot accept this, you should stay in your lane.
They will commit if you are serious
If
you meet any of the aforementioned criteria, and you are serious, she
will commit to you with all pleasure. Notwithstanding, this should not
discourage you from going after her because love is unpredictable and
blind. You don’t know where you could find it. It may be a cute Hausa
girl!
