This trade fetches profits that outrival those of all other commodities.”1 The high value that African Muslims have given to Arabic and ajami books is attributed to their high regard for learning and erudition. This is especially true with regard to religious and spiritual matters. It was for this reason that traders were attracted to these lands with the most rare Arabic books that reflected diverse opinions and wide authorship from all over the Muslim world. Because of this enthusiasm for erudition, there emerged in the bilad’s-sudan the highly honored vocation of paper manufacturing following in the footsteps of the literary communities of North Africa2.

  • 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.

  • 1 Introduction the Coming of Islam in Hausa Land
    ISSUES IN THE IMPACT OF ISLAM ON HAUSA LAND IN THE 21ST CENTURY Sabi’u Ibrahim Fago and Yusufu Bala Usman Abstract Societies emerge and develop at different periods of time. Many factors are responsible for their emergence and development. Factors such as economic, religious, cultural, geographical, political etc. are in the forefront. In Hausa land, religion particularly, Islam was responsible for some important developments in the land. This paper therefore, intends to give the historical background of the coming and spread of Islam in Hausa land and explore some of the significant impact it has on the lives of the populace and the relationship it fashioned between the Hausa people, Hausa land and other people around especially in the 21st century; the era of globalization, democracy and good governance among others. Introduction This paper will attempt to define Hausa land, its belief system and how Islam is introduced and its impact on the lives of the people. Hausa land is an area of West Africa consisted of large states of Kano, Katsina, Zaria, Daura, Kabi (Kebbi), Rano and Garun Gabas and some other smaller states situated in the present day Northern Nigeria and Niger Republic. The land is roughly bounded by a line moving from Azben southwards to the North-eastern boundry of Jos High lands, then westwards to the great bend of the River Kaduna and runs North-west to the valley of Gulbin Kabi and then North-eastwards to Azben (Smith 1987). This was the area in which the majority of the people spoke Hausa as their first and only language and the cultural and social traits often associated with the Hausa people predominated.

  • Gwandara Tone Splitting 1985√
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by IUScholarWorks Précis from the 15th Conference on African Linguistics, ed. by Russell G. Schuh, pp. 233–237. Studies in African Linguistics, Supplement 9 (1985) TONE SPLITTING AND GWANDARA ETHNOHISTORY Paul Newman Indiana University Gwandara, spoken by some 50,000 people in the Middle Belt of Nigeria, is the Chadic language most closely related to Hausa. It is geographically totally separated from Hausa (and other Chadic languages), being surrounded by speakers of Kwa and Plateau languages. Gwandara and Hausa are not mutually intelligible, though many Gwandaras speak Hausa as a second language. The extent of difference between the two languages, as well as the degree of similarity, can be seen in the following examples. (All Gwandara data in the paper are drawn from Matsushita [1972, 1973, 1974]). náa tsáyàaíà kân ƙáfàa ɗáyá (1) H. 'I stood on one foot' ń cècē à kyíyá kápā dā G. wúƙánnàn bâa tá dà káifíi (2) H. 'this knife isn't sharp' īnkāmú í mā ǹ kāpī bá G. bài zóo bá tùkùná (3) H. 'he hasn't come yet' í tùkù jó wō bá G. kùnáamàa táa hàṛbée nì (4) H. 'a scorpion stung me' kùnámā ríbī nī G This paper addresses the following linguistic/ethnohistorical question: Is Gwandara an independent millennium-old sister language of Hausa, as implied by most Chadic language classifications, or is it, as suggested by oral history, a relatively recent offshoot of Hausa that has undergone massive, contact-induced change? In other words, is the relationship of Gwandara to Hausa comparable to that of Frisian and English or to that of Krio and English? A key to the solution of the problem lies in the comparative analysis of the tonal systems of the two languages.

  • 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.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Accounts of Songhay, Hausaland and the Chad Areas of Africa As Recorded by Al-Hassan Bn
    Historical Research Letter www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3178 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0964 (Online) Vol.34, 2016 A Critical Analysis of the Accounts of Songhay, Hausaland and the Chad Areas of Africa as Recorded by Al-Hassan Bn. Muhammad Al-Wazzan Al-Zayyati (Leo Africanus) in the 16 th Century A.D. Abdullahi Mu’azu S aulawa Senior Lecturer, Department of History, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto-Nigeria Abstract The essence of this article is to highlight the mundane issue of history and historiographical analysis while revisiting some past accounts from a rare source material of a given geographical zone of African continent. In attempting to achieve this aim, the student of history is herewith, introduced to that aspect of historiography, which emphasises the significance of internal textual criticism of the source with a view to validate the level of corroboration or otherwise of the given information. It is with the understanding of such internal inconsistencies and drawing-up from available sources to supplement the contained information as employed herein in this article on Leo Africanus on Africa, that a possible reconstruction of the history hopefully could be appreciated. I. Introduction: Brief Biographical History of Al-Hassan bn Muhammad Al-Wazzan Al-Zayyati (Leo Africanus ) In any attempt to analyse Leo Africanus' accounts, a critical look at his background is important 1. The account of Leo Africanus about Songhay, Hausaland and the Chad areas was not written by an outsider per say, but by someone who claimed to have visited the area twice. Leo Africanus was born in Granada in al-Andalus (Spain) 1493/1494 2.
