. Since there are lot of diversify in the world I believe every culture has something to pass on and one thing I do commend my culture for is respect for elders I know it's a common norm in every society, but in the hausa culture it is of priority

. Activities mostly in our culture are aligned with religious activity like sallah which takes place once in a year although the calendar is different from English calendar other activities like emir coronation which mostly take place when a new emir is about to reinstated.

. My culture impact on steemit community will be exploration of our traditional artifacts which can virtually be found on the internet since I've make an introductory entry of my culture interested steemitian can explore and search more about it, it will be of great benefit as it will make you know more about different ethnicity in the world.

Hope this post will be useful to someone although our culture is very wide this is little I know of thanks for stopping by 😊
