The Digital Voice of the Sahel

Hausa is one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa, serving as a lingua franca for trade across West Africa. The Hausa web is a hub for news, Islamic content, and traditional services, reflecting the dynamic culture and entrepreneurial spirit of over 70 million speakers.

Our database uses Hausa script detection (including the Latin Boko script and the Arabic Ajami script) to identify authentic content across .ng, .ne, and international domains. We help you reach the genuine Hausa consumer, from the bustling markets of Kano and Zaria to the regional trade hubs across the Sahel.
