For a school assignment, I just need to know why traditional rulers of Northern Nigeria do not wear crowns, and if they do, what are they supposed to look like. So far, the only distinction of royalty among Northern kings I have seen is a knot atop of their headdresses. If you know the answer please enlighten me. I need this information quickly for a school project. Thanks.

Crowns? That is a western philosophy. Our Emirs wear Turbans (like everyone else). |

So how is royalty distinguished? |

INTP: So how is royalty distinguished? Birth right, whoever is a descendant usually of Usman Dan Fodio (e.g. Ahmadu Bello was his grandson). |

I mean physically, maybe not necessarily a crown but anything similar? |
