    Not so correct . Fulani and Hausa are two distinct groups . In Nigeria they do intermarry because they are both predominantly Muslim and live in close proximity in the cities of northern nigeria . However , there are Fulani in other parts of Africa and even in nigeria , those in the rural areas and villages do not intermarry. They are not Hausa-Fulani . They are Hausa and Fulani just as you have Yoruba , Igbo , Hausa , Kanuri , Nupe etc all distinct groups

      @@Hausa-Fulani Even in northern Nigeria . Fulani villages and Hausa villages are very distinct . Fulani are nomads and they have small villages and they speak fulfulde also know as Fulani or Fula . While Hausa villages are different with a different culture and they speak Hausa language very different from Fulani. They only intermarry in the cities due to religious affiliations . The difference between Hausa and Fulani is as light and day . All this information is clear in the real world and on the internet

    The Hausa were also merchants and slavers. They were and still are the dominant tribe within Africa. Yet the Hausa woman are some of the most beautiful women in Africa next to the Yoruba tribe women. Fulani tribe is a tribe that’s pretty much merged into the Hausa tribe. The only way to tell if someone is Fulani is their face tattoos.

      Hausa and Fulani are not merged , they are distinct groups of people . In northern nigeria they do intermarry because they live in close proximity and are both predominantly Muslim however the cultures are different . You might think they have merged when looking from the outside and because politically, the nigerian media would mention it as Hausa-Fulani , however , this is far from true, you will clearly see this if you lived in the north parts of Nigeria , just as Hausa , Igbo , Yoruba are different tribes , Hausa and Fulani are distinct , its only in the cities you might find them living together and intermarrying but this does not make them merged . Culturally , they have different traditions , different villages , speak different languages , they even have tribal conflicts in the rural areas up till this day

    @ 2:14 You best describe it! Hausa is the incoporation and integration of many ethnic groups. Hausas in the northwest are more Fulani influenced, those of northeast are more Kanuris while those around Kano are regarded as "true" Hausas.
    So someone saying he/she is a Hausa-Fulani just means that he is a Hausa speaker with Fulani roots, although he neither tend to cattle nor speak the Fulfulde language.

      Hausa people exist before the advant of Kanuri, and later in the 15 th century, the advant of fulani pastoralists.
      Hausa exist also in Niger Republic area before the Usman Jihad (Damagaram Sultante, Arewa Kingdom, Ader Kingdoms, Kurfey etc.). In Niger the Population of Hausa is 16 millions 56 % of the population and are not mixed with fulani except a very small number.
      The true original hausas are in the region of Arewa Dogondoutchi, Gobir, Kurfey, AZNAs of Ader, Maradi, Damagaram and in the mountains of Ayar in Niger Republic. Original Hausas exist also in all the other ancient hausa cities :Daura, Katsina, Rano, Kano, Kabi, Zamfara etc. Above all in the rural area.

      Hausa people are more linked to Kanuri and berbers (tuaregs) than fulani.
      Before, it was a disgrace to marry a fulani within hausa custums.
      Some to discourage this would told their community that you will become poor even though you are a rich....
