  • The Role of Kano Emirate Council in Managing Ethnic and Religious Conflict in Kano State-Nigeria
    Vol. 11, No. 1 (2016) 001-017, ISSN: 1823-884x THE ROLE OF KANO EMIRATE COUNCIL IN MANAGING ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS CONFLICT IN KANO STATE-NIGERIA Ahmed Aliyu, Ravichandran Moorthy & Nor Azizan Idris ABSTRACT Conflict and security scholars have identified ethnic and religious conflicts as one of the main causes of insecurity in Nigeria the African most populous country. One of the states in which these twin conflicts have been occurring is Kano state that incidentally is also the most populous state in the country. Hausa/Fulani ethnic group whose religion is Islam dominates the state that has a current estimated population of over ten million. However, owing to its background as the commercial nerve centre of the northern region, the state has attracted substantially Christian immigrants from the southern parts of the country. Unfortunately, the relationship between the host Muslim Hausa/Fulani and their Christian immigrants especially the Igbos over the years have been characterized by series of conflicts arising from ethnic and religious acrimonies. Against this backdrop, this paper examines the role of Kano Emirate Council in the management of these conflicts. The study is based on a qualitative research method with secondary data obtained through review of related published materials. Finding of the study revealed that, Kano Emirate Council plays significant role in managing ethnic and religious conflicts in the state on informal basis. On the backdrop of this finding, this paper concludes that management of Kano state security which is often threatened by ethno-religious conflicts can be improved with the reintegration of the Emirate Council into the security management framework.

  • The Impact of Technology in the Functions of Kano Modern City Gates
    Journal of Educational Policy and Entrepreneurial Research ISSN: 2408-770X (Print), ISSN: 2408-6231 (Online) Vol. 4, N0.2. 2017. Pp 59-67 The Impact of Technology in the Functions of Kano Modern City Gates Osiboye Oluwaseun Opeyemi Abstract The study seeks to identify the ancient Kano modern gates. In doing this, the study reflected on the ancient tradition in Kano city that gave the projection into the culture of the modern gates. Again, the study touched on the meaning of technology. The study highlighted the differences in the building technology that gave birth to the differences in the physical structures. The study observed symbolization, tourism, aesthetic etcetera as the functions of the modern gates. The study also made recommendations such as consistent maintenance of the modern gates and the remains of the ancient gate as well. Keywords: Technology, Kano Modern City Gates, Impact of Technology Introduction Evidence on a tablet in the National Museum Gidan Makama Kano (NMGMK) (n.d) states that, The foundation of the construction of Kano city walls and gates was established 900 years ago by Sarki Gijimasu son of Warisi (1059-1134 AD). The City Walls developed in phases until it reached its present extent measuring approximately 24 Sq Km in circumference. It has fifteen traditional and two modern gates, most of which have now been transformed. Paden (1970) in Osaghae (1994) declares that, “the city of Kano was one of the most advanced cities in pre-colonial northern Nigeria, being probably the largest urban centre in Sudanic West Africa in the 19th century A.D”.

  • The Kano Chronicle As History.” Author(S): M.G
    Retrieved from: http://www.cifas.us/smith/chapters.html Title: “The Kano Chronicle as history.” Author(s): M.G. Smith Source: In Studies in History of Kano. Bawuro M.Barkindo, ed. 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.

    CHAPTER ONE. General Frame work of the Research. 1.1 Introduction: - There are many Islamic organizations with different aims and objectives in Kano State. Spreading of Islam in Kano State is as old as the history of the introduction of Islam in the area. Allah (SWT) has created human beings and sends His messengers to proclaim and preach His message to them. They have always guided the human beings towards the obligatory duties in order to purify their conduct and behaviour on earth. Islam is the chosen religion for the human beings and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the last Prophet of Allah (SWT) sent to propagate Islam and to deliver Allah‟s message to the people. It also educates them on how to worship Allah (SWT) in the right way which will eventually grant them a right to achieve the final salvation. Propagation of Islam brings the people out from the darkness to the light of Islam. Islam is the origin of Da‟awah and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has delivered the message of Allah (SWT) in the best way. Now that Islam has spread all over the world and is attracting more believers from Europe, America and Asia, therefore the missionary life of the prophets of Allah 1 (SWT) in general and that of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his companions (RA) should be emulated. The following verses have been a motivating factor to every muslim to have courage and desire in answering the call of Allah (SWT). ﭽﮦ ﮧ ﮨ ﮩ ﮪ ﮫ ﮬﮭ ﮮ ﮯ ﮰ ﮱ﮷ ﮶ ﮵ ﮴ ﮳ ﮲ ﮿ ﮾ ﮽ ﮼ ﮻﮺ ﮹ ﮸ ﭼ النحل: ٥٢٥ Invite (all) to the way of thy lord with wisdom and beautiful preachings; and argue with them in ways that are vest and most gracious.
