    Abstract

    The internet has become an indispensable aspect of human life. By the end of 2020, there were at least 44 highly visited Hausa websites with diverse contents and high online visibility that brought about the need to research “Hausa on the internet.” However, this research is set to analyze Hausa culture on the internet with the view of determining ways to improve its future. The scope of the study is limited to Hausa culture within the domain of the internet. The study methodologically used interviews and online textual analysis in obtaining the research data. Platonism is adapted as a theory that guides the research, on the basis of which the research opines the existence of a physical world and an incorporeal world – the latter being the internet. It is also based on the Hausa philosophy that “zamani riga ce” (change before you have to). The research confirms Hausa websites and blogs face a lot of challenges one of which is inadequate knowledge of the language by the websites and/or blogs administrators. Individuals and authorities concerned - including agencies, departments, instructors, and researchers - should make efforts to ensure adequate representation and presentation of Hausa on the internet.
