GENDER RELATIONS IN HAUSA SOCIETYMohammed Naseehu Ali gives an in-depth cultural identity of the Hausa community with regard to gender relations.

This short story is one of several stories featured in The Prophet of Zongo Street on which the test was apparently taken. It is important to note that gender plays a central role in defining the socio-economic and political structure of any society and that Hausa is not exceptional. Although Mohammed uses this test only to explore the critical aspect of the gender debate in various cultures, it gives an accurate picture of what it means to be a man and a woman in Hausa. The story goes that the Hausa are one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa, necessitating an interest in their culture. The narration of Muhammad takes place in a true Hausa cultural framework, with the recognized presence of all the competent socio-political authorities. The African culture of granting such opportunities is clearly exhibited in this work, which greatly strengthens the validity of the statement on the importance of gender relations in this community. As Mohammed says, at the center of the controversy is a man who has been accused by his wife of being inactive regarding his marital obligations. This development forces the wife to denounce her husband to the higher authorities in order to obtain a divorce. It is very clear from this test episode that the Hausa community places significant importance on the sexuality of both sexes (Coles and Beverly 45). A man is expected to be the head of the household by providing for the family, but the main connection point should be the ability to accomplish...... middle of paper ..... . take these children into their custody and meet their basic needs. This explores the asymmetrical treatment of women in this community. When it comes to gender relations, the Hausa community values ​​male children more than female children and makes this known by educating them to be masculine and demonstrate superiority. The author explores this by explaining how Mr. Rafique's erection before the ordeal was a great sign of relief for him. The community brainwashes men and women from a young age so that they clearly understand the consequences of deviation. The issue of a man's sexual inadequacy attracts great attention from the community, which affirms the culture of socially defined sexual masculinity of men in Hausa. The book conclusively gives the clear gender relations in Hausa society as they exist until now..
