When asked to introduce themselves, the three Chinese nationals - a man and two women - mentioned typical Hausa names.

The male among them introduced himself as Murtala, while the two women mentioned Fasala and Kande respectively as their names.

The Chinese nationals explained how they learned the Hausa language when asked by the radio presenter.

"I was interested in Africa and I realised that Hausa was widely spoken across the continent, but I did not have any knowledge of the language. I later heard that there was an organisation in Beijing who were teaching Hausa, so I decided to register with them and I learnt the language for four years, in order to expand my knowledge of the African continent," one of the women named Kande said.
