  • Patterns of Migration and Population Mobility in Sudanic West Africa: Evidence from Ancient Kano, C
    Afrika Zamani, No. 24, 2016, pp. 11-30 © Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa & Association of African Historians 2017 (ISSN 0850-3079) Patterns of Migration and Population Mobility in Sudanic West Africa: Evidence from Ancient Kano, c. 800–1800 AD Akachi Odoemene* Abstract In the last three decades historians of migration in Europe and the Americas have increasingly criticised the idea of a ‘mobility transition’, which assumed that pre- modern societies were geographically fairly immobile, and that people only started to move in unprecedented ways from the nineteenth century onwards. This paper takes this perspective as a point of departure, and further presents evidence of remarkable population mobility from ancient Kano, taking a longue durée viewpoint. It reconstructs the nature and transformative roles of constant and consistent migration and population mobility in Kano, which ensured enormous social interactions within and between culturally distinct communities and led to socio-cultural changes. This earned Kano a reputation as an important, formidable and large medieval urban metropolis in Western Sudan. Thus, ancient Kano, like elsewhere in Sudanic Africa, had a rich history of massive and systematic migration and population mobility since the ninth century AD. Résumé Au cours des trois dernières décennies, les historiens de la migration en Europe et dans les Amériques ont de plus en plus critiqué l’idée d’une « transition de la mobilité », qui supposait que les sociétés prémodernes étaient géographiquement assez immobiles et que les populations n’ont commencé à se déplacer de manière inédite qu’à partir du dix-neuvième siècle. Partant de ce point de vue, le présent article présente des éléments attestant de la remarquable mobilité démographique dans l’ancienne Kano, sous une perspective de longue durée.

Kano, Nigeria: Heinemann and Department of History, Bayero University. p. 31-58. THE KANa CHRONICLE AS HISTORY by lv1.G. Sl'vlITH The Kano Chronicle, published first in an English translation by Sir E. Richmond PalmerI and nearly twenty-five years later in a l-busa tran­ slation by Dr. Rupert East and his colleagues2 is unique among indigenous contemporary documents on Hausa history before the Fu]ani jihad of 1804­ 3 4 s 1810. There are a number of king-lists for Zaria , Katsina , Kebbi , and so forth, but these rarely report events for the reigns they list, and even fewer report any development during those reigns. Such king-lists are invaluable in the absence of any other data; but they uften present more puzzles than answers, more questions than information. The Kano Chronz"cle differs from these royal skeletons in summarizing for each of the reigns that it reports a varying collection of pertinent incidents and information. It is preceded by an introductory and speculative sketch of the culture and composition of the autochthonous population before the advent of an immigrant group led by a legendary hero, Bagauda, who is generally believed to have been the grandson of Bayajidda, the mythical founder of the seven Hausa stat'es, who came from the east to Daura, where he married the queen, or Magajiya, and shared her rule:t> On this view, Bagauda came with his host from Daura tu Kana, or rather to Sheme, where he died, some nine years after the chiefs of Gano, Dab and Debbi.

  • Authority Conflicts and the Declining Influence of Traditional Rulers in North-Western Nigeria
    International Journal of Humanitatis Theoreticus. Vol. 3. (Issue: 1); May, 2020 AUTHORITY CONFLICTS AND THE DECLINING INFLUENCE OF TRADITIONAL RULERS IN NORTH-WESTERN NIGERIA Philip Afaha, PhD Department of History and Diplomatic Studies University Of Abuja [email protected] 08035330806, 08091821821 Abstract From their Olympian heights, the traditional institution in Nigeria is gradually being consigned to the fringes of mainstream governance and decision making in the society, where once, they held sway as lords. In the Northwest of Nigeria, the Fulani hegemony, aided by Islam, has thrived having successfully supplanted the traditional Hausa feudal system. Its main protagonist, Uthman Dan Fodio, reformed the traditional Hausa feudal system to reflect Sharia tenets consolidating his tight grip on power by divine injunction. Whether by design or fortune, this reform opened the doors for others to follow. For on the heels of Islamic civilisation, which itself followed Arabic civilisation, came Western civilisation through British colonialism. While the previous two served to strengthen the grip on power of the traditional rulers, British colonialism clashed with it. This was not the first but the most formidable. Thus, followed the onslaught – from colonialism, democracy and military rule – on the traditional institution, not just in North West but in fact all over Nigeria. This by no means is limited to Nigeria for in many societies all over the world, traditional rulers are increasingly becoming mere ceremonial and decorative historical symbols under the relentless, demanding and pervasive march of civilisation. So intense has been the onslaught, that many monarchies such as in India, Japan, and Spain have simply dissolved.

The former Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II of Kano has been dethroned by Governor Ganduje, the removal brings to many as a past memory of similar removal of his Grandfather, Alhaji Sir Muhammadu Sanusi I, by the Premier of Northern Region, Sir Ahmadu Bello. History has repeated itself on Monday, March 9, 2020 when Governor Abdullahi Ganduje dethroned the emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II. Fifty-seven years ago, precisely 1963, the late Grandfather of Emir Sanusi, Alhaji Sir Muhammadu Sanusi, was also dethroned by the Premier of Northern Region and Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello, according to the history, the late Sanusi and the premier were reportedly best of friends before things went bad in their relationship. However, in 1963, the friendship had collapsed as Bello's government probed, dethroned and eventually banished the late Sanusi to Azare in 1963 where he later died.

  • Between Sokoto and Agadez: Inter-Ethnic Hierarchy in the Nineteenth Century
    Comp. by: BALA SUBRAMANIAN Stage: Revises1 Chapter No.: 2 Title Name: Rossi Date:24/6/15 Time:15:16:27 Page Number: 34 2 Between Sokoto and Agadez: Inter-Ethnic Hierarchy in the Nineteenth Century ‘Ader, a sort of peninsula of cultivations stretching into the nomadic steppe, has played an inconspicuous role in the history of Hausa peoples. It has always existed apart, retired within itself, without a conquest spirit, depending alternatively on Kebbi or Sokoto to the South, or on the Tuareg to the North (Kel-Aïr, Oullimindens de l’Azaouac and Kel Gress)’.1 Urvoy’s portrait of Ader’s political marginality is accurate in outline, although its imperialist perspective emphasises Ader’s passive exposure to the expansionist schemes of its neighbours. This chapter starts by reconstructing Ader’s history on the basis of sources produced primarily by the elites of Sokoto and Agadez. It goes on to portray a ‘view from within’ based on local sources. This view reveals that, far from being passive, Ader-based societies made a virtue of necessity and turned their environmental and political marginality into a defensive strategy against exterior and interior enemies. It also suggests a different reading of the relations between the intertwined political systems of centralised polities and (semi-)nomadic societies in the West African Sahel. The view from Ader is fragmented. Ader’s ‘society’ is a mix of the many groups that were integrated in shared political and economic struc- tures, but nevertheless differentiated by language, religion, status, and economic specialisation. Probably the same could be said of Sokoto’s emirates and any of the more centralised political formations of the time.
