Alhaji Kabiru Fagge Featured in Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC)'s Global Language Online Support System (GLOSS)

Which of the following hosts a program about educational issues?

Alhaji Kabiru Fagge edita ne a Sashen Hausa, kuma shi ne ke jagorancin shirin "Ilmi Garkuwar Dan Adam" da "Sharhin Jaridun Amurka" a kowane mako. Alhaji Kabiru Fagge ya taho sashen Hausa na Muryar Amurka daga gidan telibijin na NTA Kano. Kafin nan kuwa ya yi aiki a kamfanin buga jaridun New Nigerian.

  • Remember the terms gudanar da (to conduct), jagoranci (to lead), and jagora (leader). All of these refer to running, or hosting, a program. Note that program names are placed in quotation marks.

Correct.

  1. This information is found in the following segment from the text:
    Alhaji Kabiru Fagge edita ne a Sashen Hausa, kuma shi ne ke jagorancin shirin "Ilimi Garkuwar Dan Adam"...
    Alhaji Kabiru Fagge is an editor at the Hausa Service, and he hosts the program “Education is the Shield of Humanity” ...

You have already seen the first half of this sentence. The conjunction kuma is used to mean and or also here, introducing the second clause.

Note that shi ne ke is short for shi ne yake. The pronouns that end in -ke are able to be shortened to ke when it is already clear who the subject is. Note that when a verb phrase follows ne or ce, this generally requires the relative pronoun (the -ke form).

The verb jagorancin (to lead, to host) takes the terminal -n because it is in the present (continuous) tense and followed by an object.

What did Alhaji Kabiru Fagge do before coming to VOA Hausa?

Suggested Answer: He worked at the NTA Kano TV station.

  1. This information is found in the following segment of the text:
    Alhaji Kabiru Fagge ya taho Sashen Hausa na Muryar Amurka daga gidan telebijin na NTA Kano.
    Alhaji Kabiru Fagge came to the Hausa Service of the Voice of America from the television station NTA Kano.

This is a very straightforward sentence. Remember that gidan telibijin means TV station.

What did Alhaji Kabiru Fagge do before coming to NTA Kano?

  • Hint: Kafin nan kuwa means and before this.

Suggested Answer: Worked at the newspaper company "New Nigerian."

  1. This information is found in the following segment of the text:
    Kafin nan kuwa ya yi aiki a kamfanin buga jaridun New Nigerian.
    Before this, he worked at the newspaper company "New Nigerian."

The word kuwa, again, does not translate perfectly. In this case you could say that if kafin nan means before this, then kafin nan kuwa means and before this.

Note that kamfanin buga jaridun New Nigieran could be literally translated as the company that prints the newspapers for New Nigerian. This is why it is important to recognize that the term kamfanin buga jaridu is a fixed term that means newspaper company. The -n linker at the end of jaridun links this whole term to New Nigerian.

Other Activities

... shi ne ke jagorancin shirin "Ilimi Garkuwar Dan Adam" da "Sharhin Jaridun Amurka" a kowane mako. ...
and he hosts the program “Education is the Shield of Humanity” as well as “Commentaries in American Newspapers” every week.

The word ilimi means education or learned knowledge. The word garkuwa means shield, and is used to refer to anything protective. The term ɗan Adam means human being. This kind of metaphorical speech is typical in names of programs in Hausa.

The word sharhi means commentary. It is often used to refer to editorials in newspapers, and almost always refers to opinion pieces in the news.

The term a kowane mako means every week. Note all of these programs are weekly.
