They served as rites of passage, marks of status, symbols of religion, decorations for bravery, sexual lures & marks of fertility, pledges of love, etc

Since the 1970s, they've become a mainstream part of fashion

.



The capital of my country is of course Abuja
Hence, The land now called Abuja was originally the
south-western part of the ancient Habe (Hausa)
kingdom of Zazzau (Zaria). It was populated fore
centuries by several semi-independent tribes. The
largest of the tribes was Gbagyi (Gwari), followed
by the Koro and a few other smaller tribes. In
early 1800s when Zaria fell to Fulani invaders,
Muhammed Makau, fled south with some
followers and his brothers- Abu Ja and Kwaka.
Abu Ja succeeded Makau in 1825.
The full name of the king was Abubakar; Abu was
his nickname. By some accounts his fair
complexion earned him the nickname “Ja” which
means “red” or “fair-skinned” in Hausa. He
became known as “Abu-Ja” meaning Abu the
red” or “Abubakar the fair one “other sources say
that the “Ja” is a shortened form of Ishaku Jatau,
his father’s name. King Abubakar founded the
kingdom of Abuja.
