Zaria, just like most Northern cities in Nigeria, is dominated by the Hausa ethnic group. The naive tongue is the Hausa language, but English is widely spoken. I advise anyone moving here to be prepared to experience extreme cold from northern desert winds, during the Harmattan season.

The first thing they’ll have to know about this city is that it is dominated by the Hausa tribe. As a result, they will have to make necessary efforts to understand the predominant language and culture. Also, the city is a home to many academic institutions, including the Ahmadu Bello University. This, therefore, means that most of the business activities are geared towards meeting the needs of students. As such the town is usually less productive during their holiday seasons.

Anyone moving to Zaria, must have an idea of the local dialect, which is Hausa language. Also, he/she must be okay with traveling in tricycles and motorcycles. He/she must also be able to survive living in harsh conditions like little or no electricity, no WiFi, and subpar water supply.
