  • Kingdom of Kano
    Kingdom of Kano Country Nigeria Kingdom Kano The Kingdom of Kano was a Hausa kingdom in the north of what is now Nigeria that dates back before 1000 AD, and lasted until the Fulani jihad in 1805. The kingdom was then replaced by the Kano Emirate, subject to the Sokoto Caliphate. The capital is now the modern city of Kano in Kano State.[1] Contents [hide] 1 Location 2 Early history 3 Rumfa dynasty 4 See also 5 References Location Kano lies to the north of the Jos Plateau, located in the Sudanian Savanna region that stretches across the south of the Sahel. The city lies near where the Kano and Challawa rivers flowing from the southwest converge to form the Hadejia River, which eventually flows into Lake Chad to the east. The climate is hot all year round. Rainfall is variable, ranging from 350mm to 1,300mm annually with the mean around 950mm, almost all falling during June–September period. Traditionally agriculture was based on lifting water to irrigate small parcels of land along river channels in the dry season, known as the Shadouf system. At the time when the kingdom was flourishing, tree cover would have been more extensive and the soil less degraded than it is today.[2] Early history Our knowledge of the early history of Kano comes largely from the Kano Chronicle, a compilation of oral tradition and some older documents composed in the nineteenth century, as well as more recently conducted archaeology. In the 7th century, Dala Hill, a hill in Kano, was the site of a community that engaged in iron- working.

  • 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.
