HOW TO KNOW A TRUE FRIEND (WHO IS YOUR FRIEND?)

  • A friend is not one whom you have known all your life, a friend is not one who you share your room with. 

  • A true friend is one who reprimands you when you do wrong but hold no grudges,  a true friend is one who doesn't need anything from you but your presence.

  •   A true friend is one who loves you enough to honestly tell you the truth always in a loving way even though it hurts. 

  • A true friend is one who is loyal and has got your back anytime way beyond distance. True friendship is not measured by time, days or decades but it is measured by how deep and how well two people have known each other. Don't force friendship, let it come naturally or you will get dragged by the ear or be bullied. Stay around people who need you in their life even when you have nothing to offer. Even when you are separated from them, nothing changes. That’s because they are real. 

  • A strong friendship doesn’t need daily conversations and togetherness. We meet people everyday but we can’t meet real friends everyday. Not everyone can be friends with anyone. We all have compatibility in friendship same as in relationship. Build friendships with whomever you are free with so even when you have issues, you still remain friends. Friendship isn’t about who you have known the longest but who walked into your life and prove they are going to be there for you. If you have true friends, cherish them. Friends are the flowers in the garden of life. They laugh at your jokes even when they’re not so funny and sympathizes with you when you get into trouble even when it isn’t so bad. There’s that one person we all have in our life that no matter how far they live, they are the first we call when something happens. No one can truly know a true friend by mere looking at them. You can only see true friendship through the heart. How they sacrifice their time and resources to make you happy. Just know that if two hearts are meant to be friends no matter how long it takes,how far they go or how tough it seems,fate will always find a way to bring them together. 

  • True friends don’t talk about your secrets and always be careful who you trust and tell your problems. Now everyone you call friend is actually your friend. Life has a way of exposing fake friends. When you’re up in life, your friends get to know who you are but when you’re down in life, you get to know who your friends are. Just because someone laughs with you doesn’t make them your friend. Laughter isn’t just enough to know a real friend. People pretend a lot to be what they are not so pay attention. Associate yourself with people of good quality for it is better to be alone than in bad company. Whoever you try so hard to please isn’t really your friend. When making friends be real and be you. Let the feeling come naturally. You become close with someone you connect with. If you don’t feel connected to someone, don’t force it. Maybe they don’t want to either so free them darling and do you. Someone who wants to be your friend will make efforts too and not just you. Having too many friends isn’t necessary. One real friend is better than nine fake friends.

The Hausa are one of the most congested ethnic groups in Africa. They are heterogeneous in nature but culturally homogeneous people. They reside mostly in the Northern part of the country known to them as ''Arewa'' which is translated as Northern Nigeria. They are primarily Muslims while few are Christians. Although a great number of people in this region speak the Hausa language, different tribes among them have their own unique dialects. The Hausa traditional marriage is not as time consuming or expensive like the Yoruba and Igbo traditional marriage rites.
