Not possible.
Restructuring is beyond this.
Don't be deceived.

Omoawoke:
It is technically impossible, geographically impossible and politically impossible

Get that to your head, southeast can never ever stand alone.

How do you want to create a landlocked country in the middle of another country.

SE people are just the only one still wallowing ( no disrespectful) about the 2015 election loss. Which year did both GEJ and Madam peace supported David Lyon of the same Apc you and your likes don't want to hear at all. Are you saying the same 2015 GEJ election loss to Apc has been wiped out from Bayelsa state people. This is politics you either win or lose. Moreover, didn't this same SW people supported GEJ in 2011 election?

Of course the position of the president is more valuable and useful . That's why both SW and SS renewed their old friendship to secure the both position. They rubbed our back, we reciprocated

You have all those resources yet you generate chicken change as IGR monthly? why are your people so bitter and full of hate despite the phantom resources in your region? how much does Imo and Abia state state get from the FG monthly as as oil and gas producing states? you think if it was the other way round; the SE getting the lion share from FAAC and the SS getting pittance, the SE lawmakers would have gone through the proper channel for secession without trying to drag the SS into the union. Your elders know that if the 5 states are allowed to secede, hunger and starvation will kill the SE. The other day soludo complained about his state generating a measly 2b every month when Rivers easily generate 12b, Delta 7B and Bayelsa 2b every month, why wont failures force themselves to identify with a region with potential?

Lmao…”Ribadu is not Fulani…but even if he is” 🤡

Your divide and rule is dead on arrival. Arewa remains united and politically formidable (all 100+ ethnic groups) as we have always been

If anyone needs comforting, it is Ibo’s that have lost out totally from the Nigeria power equation and have just begun a 16-year journey of irrelevance in the political wilderness.

And you especially, that has finally accepted that your mediocre Peteru is never coming close to Aso Rock, despite your weak, handicapped & delusional pre-election permutations.

Grayoso:
Indeed. I personally predicted last year that the anger and vitriol against Buhari, once people could speak freely after he has departed as President, would be huge.

My anger is against Nigerians as well. Reactionary rather than proactive. I can look at myself in the mirror proudly because I started condemning Buhari strongly when he gave savage Fulani herdsmen militia the latitude to be murdering, raping and displacing Southerners from their homes and land.

Iskilu Wakili, or whatever his name is, became a legend terrorising Yoruba land with the 'oga at the top' protection Buhari gave Fulanis.


I appreciate what you said as well about reasonable people who still have a soft spot for Buhari but I resent them as cowards in the mould of "evil thrive when good men do nothing ".

They are even my fellow Yorubas who make noise and famz Tinubu today but , when it was time to ensure a strong southerner emerged to put an end to the atrocity Buhari led, they fled. They abandoned Tinubu.

I will always remember a thread on NL where all poster, Northerners and Southerners, rushed in to say Tinubu was done for disrespecting Buhari, after that Abeokuta fighting talk of Jagaban against the Machiavellian ingratitude of PMB, and that BAT would never get the APC ticket.

A lot of Tinubu fans, in the "O ye of little faith" camp, fled and hid. Some ,and I won't mention them, talking nonstop today as Tinubu champions even said Tinubu fcked up.

It was only me and another guy, can't remember his handle, who defiantly insisted Buhari, his cabal and the North are nothing. Fck them !!! They are not the boss of Tinubu, the South and the Middle belt.

The point is that Nigerians are cowards and weaklings. Very few are brave or sacrificially defiant. A Buhari will happen again unless we insist Tinubu creates a system where a patently cowardly, divided and unfocused people cannot ever be abused again as Buhari and his crew did.

That is why I appreciate your talk below. Solid gold. To me Fuel subsidy removal, naira singular parity etal are still "give a man fish' issues. The most transformational "teach a man to fish" reform are what is in bold below because they are what will make all Nigerians equal, able to protect themselves and their property optimally from marauders and be meritoriously advantaged to be the best they can be plus get the best out of their talent and land without hindrance from anything or anyone.

As a personal experience, my gun licence application, to get a pump action weapon, is pending. I am well-educated, psychologically stable , a business owner, an employer of Nigerian Labour, productive and accountable with certified address and history.

Yet barbaric nomads from Mali and Sudan are roaming around Nigeria with prohibited AK47 assault rifles openly as cattle herders. What kind of Country is that? This type of status quo is what we must all bravely and uncompromisingly fight to change .

Tukpa8:
Ss has no connection with south east....no matter their begs, we don't even reason them.

only ignorant person will write all these..

What today known as south south was carved out from two regions; eastern region and western region.....but ignorant landlocked crying fools will think the whole south south was carved out from Eastern region...see why we don't even look at their tears for alliance because they are too ingenue to us..


In the 1940s The Ijaws were divided into two regions, western region and eastern region.
the Ijaws of Delta state, edo state and Ondo state were from the old western region, which was later midwest and then bendel to now, Ondo, edo and Delta state....Ijaws were the largest ethnicity in the old western region behind the Yorubas.......in the other part, the Ijaws of bayelsa and rivers were added to the old eastern region and later old rivers state to now Bayelsa and rivers.

The Ijaws who were the largest ethnicity in old western region behind the Yorubas were given referendum to stand on their ground which is midwestern.....but the Ijaws who were also the largest ethnicity in the old eastern region behind the igbos were never given referendum to join the western Ijaw brothers by the igbo dominated government because of the crude oil.......this sparked grievances and later led to Adaka Boro using arm agitation to an extent forcefully declaring the independent niger delta republic in 1966

To put record straight,,,,the Ijaws were first southern region protectorate in 1900 with the Yorubas and the Igbos,,,,then later nigeria was made three regions,,,,the Ijaws were splitted into two regions, western and eastern regions.

only ignorant ibo youths will have delusion mind that the whole south south were part of the eastern region.....and no one should argue with them because they are born fools and why we Ijaws called them piri ama abu.....yes, the igbos are piri ama abu... everyone know it... because they behave exactly like forest beings.


Another record about the voting pattern..
To debunked the lies of this piri ama owei write up..
South south and southeast have never have same voting system until 2010 and 2015...
The records are there...we The igbos in the 1960s have party like NCNC led by Zik,,,Yorubas had Action congress led by Awo and the Ijaws had Niger delta congress led by Dapper Biriye..

Niger delta congress and NCNC were dreaded enemies due to the NCNC refusal to grant referendum for the Eastern Ijaws.
The niger delta congress in entirety aligned with the northern party till all the parties at then desolved..............then later, the Igbos had a party called apga led by ojukwu and all igbos rally round their apga party but the Ijaws as usual join their northern alliances for PDP..........

To make it straight,,,,the Ijaws in their entire lives never give one vote to NCNC and APGA which are the two igbos party.....rather, the Ijaws formed their niger delta congress party to teach the NCNC a bitter lesson by aligning with the northern party........then later when apga came, the Ijaws join PDP to teach apga lesson....

It was 2010 that the igbos out of frustration leave their lonely apga to join PDP.......this is the history of the igbo party system and the Ijaw party system.....

An historical prove below... quite observe the voting pattern

vanitybutiwanti:
They can not, the modern proponents of Biafra are always trying to drag the SS into their their agitation, there is a thread on Nairaland where Nnamdi Kanu rejected BIAFRA because some SS states were not handed to him. We are all adults, if you really want your Country, Prevail on your lawmakers to do the needfull. even in Real life, the wealthy friend always have people trying to please him, nobody is a fool, if the SS was a desolate region without resources like the SE under the same same SS name do you really think the igbos will be trying to drag them into their Biafran project?

helinues:
To start with, those list of how the senators voted didn't make it to NL Fp cos it was fake.

Secondly, it's on record that reasonable number of Igbo's on this forum were against Akpabio being SP referring to his corruption case.

Thirdly, for your logical mind, who do you think SS would prefer to be closer to presently between SW and SE, considering how SW championed the campaign for Akpabio both online and offline, the collaboration between SW and SS improved as his Excellency Tinubu received sensible votes from the region.

Ezeama400:
They are in minority, unfortunately they are very loud

vanitybutiwanti:
You do not have to write about Biafra, the reason you want this alliance so bad is because of your actualization of a Biafra in the future, wise people can see the end from the beginning

helinues:
We SE/SS terms was terminated in the just concluded Senate president position. SE chose Yari a northerner over Akpabio who is your neighbor

For how long would you be continue with this world crying?

The last bus left, SE is now officially politically stranded

vanitybutiwanti:
Nobody is trying to severe any bond please, before this election our parent in the ss have always told us to be cautious of the south Easterners. stop trying to drag us into your Biafra, we can inter marry, do businesses together and you can also buy properties and migrate to our region but WE DO NOT WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR BIAFRA, develop your 5 states maybe we would be willing to join in your agitation but for now considering the fact that we are better than you economically stop trying to force us to join you, it no surprise though because misery loves company

Ezeama400:
Some of them think there is mighty Chinese wall demarkettimg SS/SE not knowing that looking at the map, SE is nearly inside SS..

The reason for creating SS is to give non Igbos in the region voice at the National politics and Ekwueme made that possible..

They gave been begging for our alliance since time immemorial yet they are not getting it..

Their madness is always at the peak when election is around the corner like they did previously, yet despite seeing the outcome they won't stop creating what doesn't exist..

Inasmuch as there are few disgruntled elements in SS, but even if election is conducted million of times, those disgruntled elements always vote in the same line with SE Igbos.. They will always consider a SE politician ahead of SW politician ..

Tinubu rodents should know that it's easier to divide NE and NW votes that dividing SS and SE voting pattern during election..

Modified: One clown below me is shouting Akpabio... Supported Akpabio more than SS senators.. Most SS senators voted for Yari..

Hate has destroyed these people.. They don't even know how NASS elected their principal officers

Kukutenla:
Pained indeed. It only exists in the imagination of the writer. The Hausas never claimed to share any lineage with Yoruba at any point. I'll like to see an historical piece written by and Hausa where such claim is made

Kukutenla:
Maybe i will. But you should learn to critique what you see on the net.
This is the lady feeding you bunkum about Hausa states below.
Tell me if this person looks like someone who has any idea what she's doing

chuksanambra:
What about Bayelsa where a PDP Governor is. He didn't even win but was declared by the court.
Both him and Hope were with Tinubu in Lagos yesterday.

As for Hope, even LP and PDP guys agree that he's doing well in the area of infrastructure. What they don't like is that he's fighting UGM. They want someone who will cower inside Douglas House like Ugwuanyi of Enugu.

Kukutenla:
Whoever wrote this nonsense needs a slap. Yoruba and even Nupe was never counted as one of the children or bastards of Bajayyida, the progenitor of the Hausas.
Op needs to go and get his facts correct

Even Jukun? Where Jukun and Hausa for meet? Very soon they'll add Tiv

I can even see Gwari has replaced Gwandu.

Op is just disgracing himself. For you to not know basic history of Nigeria and the tribes is a slight on your education. I suggest you close the thread

Ancient division jammed agent of division

Zaria, formerly Zazzau, or Zegzeg, historic kingdom, traditional emirate, and local government council in Kaduna State, northern Nigeria, with its headquarters at Zaria (q.v.) city. The kingdom is traditionally said to date from the 11th century, when King Gunguma founded it as one of the original Hausa Bakwai (Seven True Hausa States). As the southernmost state of the seven, it had the function of capturing slaves for all Hausa Bakwai, especially for the northern markets of Kano and Katsina. Camel caravans from the Sahara travelled south to Zazzau to exchange salt for slaves, cloth, leather, and grain. Islām was introduced about 1456, and there were Muslim Hausa rulers in the early 16th century. Muḥammad I Askia, a warrior leader of the Songhai Empire, conquered Zazzau c. 1512; the results of that conquest were recorded by the traveller Leo Africanus.

Later in the century, Zazzau’s ruler Queen Amina enlarged her domain by numerous conquests, including those of the Nupe and the Jukun kingdoms; even the powerful states of Kano and Katsina were required to pay tribute. By the end of the century, however, Zazzau—renamed Zaria—came under the control of Kororofa (Kwararafa), the Jukun kingdom centred near Ibi to the southeast. Shortly after the decline of Kororofa, Zaria was forced to become a tributary state (c. 1734–1804) of the Bornu kingdom to the northeast.

In 1804 the Muslim Hausa ruler of Zaria pledged allegiance to Usman dan Fodio, the Fulani Muslim leader who was conducting the great jihād (“holy war”) in northern Nigeria. This resulted in a Fulani becoming ruler of Zaria in 1808. Zaria emirate was created in 1835, retaining some of its old vassal states (including Keffi, Nasarawa, Jemaa, and Lapai to the south); it was governed by a representative of the sultan at Sokoto (216 mi northwest of Zaria city), as well as the local emir.

Zaria’s fortunes declined in the late 19th century; the critical blow was the loss in 1899 of Birnin Gwari (a town and Hausa chiefdom 63 mi west of Zaria city) to Kontagora (an emirate to the southwest). In 1901 Zaria sought British protection against slave raids by Kontagora. After the murder in 1902 of Captain Moloney, the British resident at Keffi (154 mi south), by the Zaria magaji (“representative”), the British stripped the emirate of most of its vassal states.

Zaria remains, however, one of Nigeria’s largest (about 12,750 sq mi [33,000 sq km]) traditional emirates. A savanna area, it is one of the nation’s leading producers of cotton for export. Other significant cash crops include tobacco, peanuts (groundnuts), shea nuts, soybeans, sugarcane (which is processed locally into brown sugar), and ginger. Sorghum, millet, and cowpeas are the staple foods; cattle, chickens, goats, guinea fowl, and sheep are raised for meat. Tin mining has long been important in the south, at the western edge of the Jos Plateau. The population is an ethnic mix in which Muslim Hausa and Fulani people predominate.

Gobir (Demonym: Gobirawa ) is a city in Nigeria now. It was founded by the Hausas in the 11th century, Gobir is one of the seven original kingdoms of the Hausa country , and continued to rule the Hausa country for about 700 years. Its capital is the city of Alkalawa . At the beginning of the 19th century, the people of the ruling dynasty fled from the north to present-day Niger , where an opposition dynasty gained power as Sarkin Gobir ( King of Gobir ) in Tibiri . In 1975, a traditional king settled again in Sabon Birni , Nigeria.

The history of Rano dates back to a long time ago as one of the oldest settlements in this part of Northern Nigeria, the kingdoms started 300 years before Christianity. The Kwararrafa warriors founded the kingdom in 523 AD. The kingdom witnessed three ruling kings such as: - Kwararrafawa reigned from 523 AD to 1001 AD, while Habe reigned from 1001 AD - 1819 AD, and the Fulani kingdom reigned from 1819 to date. As an independent kingdom, more than 40 kings ruled the kingdom of Rano before the colonial rule.

The boundaries of the Kingdom of Rano in the era mentioned above are as follows:

In the evening of Rano, she was bound to Kofar Dan-Agundi Kano
East Rano is tied to the Kingdom of Gaya
From the west Rano borders to Zazzau, Kaduna state
From the south of Rano it borders with Ningi, Bauchi state.

Garun-gabas generally recognised as the ancient Biram, i believe and Bagdaza to be Baghdad. The legend in another form is connected with that of the Origin of the Hausa Bakwai. Mukhtar or Bayajidda was compelled to flee Bornu with his wife, on his Journey west he left her on the road and she gave birth to Biram who founded Garun-gabas. Bayajidda continued his journey to Daura where the well known encounter with the Snake took place and Bayajidda's marriage with the Queen Daurama.

The Town was founded by Arabs from Baghdad, one Mukhtar and his younger brother Biram migrated West and came to Birnin Bornu (Kukawa). The Shehu of Kukawa gave Mukhtar his daughter in marriage and the town of Kulunfardu where he lived until his death. Biram and his younger brother then migrated further West and founded Garun-gabas.

The following is a list of Chiefs of Garun-gabas.

1. BIRAM


2.BOMI... One of the Biram's follower who came with him from Kulunfardu but no relation.

3. TUNKU... Also one of the Biram's followers. The length of time for which these three held the Sarauta unknown.

4. ABDULLAHI. Called Ajab... He ruled for three days and then miraculously disappeared.

5. ASAWA... Thirty years the grandfather of the present Sarkin Gabas, he was deposed by Sambo Diginsa the first Fulani Emir of Hadejia, on account of his son was murdered.

6. MUSA... Nephew of Asawa Eleven years, appointed by Sambo.

7. GAUYAMA... Not of the ruling family fourty years, half way through his reign he became blind.

8. BARWAI... Younger brother of Sambo, Nine years.

9. USMAN... Son of Barwai, Six years he then Emigrated to Shira.

10. GABDO... One year and Emigrated to Katagum. Hadejia A yau.

11. BURMI... A fulani, one year fled to Katagum in terror of Buhari.

12. SARKIYO... One of the Buhari's "Hakimi" Ten years, Buhari then died and was succeeded by Umaru who remove Sarkiyo to Hadejia and made him Barwa.

13. MUHAMMAD BAKO... Son of Asawa and thus descendent to the Original Arab founders, Appointed by Haru Bubba. He held the Sarauta for Two years and then went to Mecca.

14.MUHAMMAD DARINGI... A fulani, seven month deposed by the Emir. By Ismaila A Sabo.

15. TUKUR... Son of Gauyama, after five years of his rule Muhammad Bako returned from Mecca, but leave as a private individual. Muhammad Tukur ruled for another five years and was then deposed by Haru for shaving his wife's head.

16. KANKARAU... A fulani appointed by Haru, but deposed after seven month. Muhammad Tukur Was then reinstalled and rule for seven years when he became blind and was deposed. KANKARAU reinstated but after seven years was again deposed by the Emir Muhammadu for having married seven wives.

The Emir then called in all the man of Garun-gabas to choose their own Chief. They unanimously choose Abubakar son of Muhammad Bako a direct descendant of the original Arab founders. Abubakar at first however persistently refused to accept the honour and on being pressed for a reason, told the Emir that as an Arab who had been to Mecca he could not countenance the perversion of the prophet's laws which was rife in Hadejia. The Emir is then stated to have admitted the Truth of this and on condition that he would take the Sarauta to have promised that he should administer according to the true Law at any rate in Garun-gabas.

Abubakar then became Chief and has been Sarkin Gabas for twenty three years to the present day. The famine in common with other Hadejia District, the famine last year was the cause of considerable mortality chiefly among the children. Hadejia A yau.

Daura, town and traditional emirate, Katsina state, northern Nigeria. The town lies in a savanna zone at the intersection of roads from Katsina town, Kano, Zango, and Zinder (Niger). An ancient settlement, the name of which means “blacksmith” in the Tuareg language, it was founded by a queen and was ruled by women in the 9th and 10th centuries. It is the spiritual home of the Hausa people: a well-known legend of western Africa relates that Bayajida (Abuyazidu), a son of the king of Baghdad, killed Sarki, the fetish snake at the town’s well, and married the reigning Daura queen. Their descendants became the seven rulers of the Hausa Bakwai (The Seven True Hausa States). Daura thus became a Hausa state that stretched across the borders of present-day Nigeria and Niger. Daura town became a caravan centre for salt and potash from the Sahara Desert and for cloth, slaves, leather, and agricultural produce from the south; but it never gained the political or military prominence of Katsina (49 miles [79 km] west) or of Kano (73 miles [117 km] south).

Little else is known of Daura state until the Fulani jihad (holy war) in 1805, when Malam Ishaku, a Fulani warrior, after a successful siege established an emirate headquarters in Daura. While Fulani emirs reigned in Daura, rival Hausa kingdoms were established nearby at Daure-Zango (Zango) and at Daure-Baure (Baure). Zango (founded in 1825) was the more prominent Hausa-Daura kingdom, and in 1903–04, after the British and French had divided the three Daura polities, the British installed Zango’s king, Malam Musa, as the new emir of Daura. Part of former North-Central state after 1967, the traditional emirate was incorporated into Kaduna state in 1976. It became part of the newly created Katsina state in the late 1980s.

Local trade in Daura town is primarily in sorghum, millet, onions, peanuts (groundnuts), cotton, and hides and skins; cattle, goats, sheep, horses, and donkeys are kept by its Hausa and Fulani inhabitants. Cotton weaving and peanut collecting (for export) are significant economic activities. The town is served by a government health office and a dispensary. It is also the headquarters of a local government council. Pop. (2006) local government area, 219,721.

Kano, historic kingdom and traditional emirate in northern Nigeria. According to the Kano Chronicle (1890s), the best-known native history of the Hausa people, the Kano kingdom was founded as one of the Hausa Bakwai (“Seven True Hausa States”) in 999 by Bagauda, a grandson of Bayajida (Abuyazidu), the legendary progenitor of the Hausa people. Its capital was moved from Sheme (to the north) to the present site of Kano city in King Gajemasu’s reign (1095–1134). Malinke scholars from the Mali empire introduced Islām into the region in the 1340s, and Yaji (reigned 1349–85) was probably Kano’s first Muslim Hausa king. Islām was blamed for Kano’s defeat by Zaria about 1400, and King Kanajeji renounced the faith; but in the 1450s new Malian teachers arrived, and Islām regained its influence.

In King Dauda’s reign (1421–38), Kano became a tributary state of the Bornu kingdom (to the east), and under Abdullahi Burja (1438–52) trade relations with Bornu were established. Camel caravans brought prosperity under Mohamman Rumfa (1463–99), the greatest of Kano’s Hausa kings, who established the Kurmi Market, built the Juma’at Mosque (restored) and a palace (now used by the Fulani emirs), and fought the first of a series of wars with Katsina (92 miles [148 km] northwest), Kano’s principal rival in the trans-Saharan trade. Under Rumfa, Arabic writing was reintroduced and the administration codified under Islāmic law.

Kano became a tributary state of Songhai after its capture about 1513 by Muḥammad I Askia of the Songhai empire. Later in the century, the state paid tribute to Zazzau, a Hausa kingdom to the south. After defeats in 1653 and 1671 by the Jukun (Kwararafa) people from the southeast, Kano was eclipsed by Katsina as a commercial centre. By 1734 it once again paid tribute to Bornu.

In 1804 the Fulani jihad (holy war) leader, Usman dan Fodio, led a revolt against the Hausa overlords and, in 1807, Kano city was taken. One of dan Fodio’s pupils, Sulaimanu (Sulemanu), became Kano’s first emir; his successor, Emir Ibrahim Dabo (1819–46) of the Sullibawa clan, founded the present dynasty.

By the 1820s Kano had become the greatest commercial power in West Africa. Its leather and cotton goods were widely transported northward by caravan across the Sahara to Tripoli, Tunis, and Fès, and hence to Europe, where its red goatskin products were known as morocco leather. By the 1880s, however, trade diminished because of changing political conditions along the routes, the end of the slave trade, and the arrival of Europeans on the West African coast.

When Abdurrahman (Abdu), the Fulani sultan at Sokoto (233 miles west-northwest), chose Mohamman Tukur as Kano’s emir in 1893, war broke out among the Kano Fulani. Aliyu Babba, the victor in 1894, pledged allegiance to Muhammadu Attahiru I, the new sultan; but the British captured Kano city in 1903 and named Muhammadu Abbas Abdullahi emir of Kano. Kano emirate was the largest and most populous of the emirates in Kano province, created by the British in 1903.

Katsina, historic kingdom and emirate in northern Nigeria. According to tradition, the kingdom, one of the Hausa Bakwai (“Seven True Hausa States”), was founded in the 10th or 11th century. Islām was introduced in the 1450s, and Muhammad Korau (reigned late 15th century) was Katsina’s first Muslim king. During his reign camel caravans crossed the Sahara from Ghudāmis (Ghadames), Tripoli, and Tunis southward to Katsina and brought such prosperity to the state that it became caught in the rivalry between the great West African empires of Songhai (Gao) and Bornu. In 1513 Katsina was conquered by the Songhai.

The original walls around Katsina town, the kingdom’s capital, were built in the mid-16th century. In 1554 Katsina defeated the forces of Songhai and, in 1570, those of Kano, its principal rival in the trans-Saharan trade. After Moroccan armies had vanquished Songhai in 1591, Katsina was (until the end of the 18th century) a tributary state of Bornu. Katsina entered its greatest period of prosperity in the early 18th century. Besides being the leading Hausa commercial state, it replaced Timbuktu (Tombouctou) as the chief West African centre of Islāmic studies. Later in the century, wars with Gobir, a Hausa state to the northwest, marked the beginning of Katsina’s decline.

Fulani herdsmen settled in Katsina by the 15th century, and in 1804 the Fulani jihad (holy war) leader, Usman dan Fodio, led a revolt (beginning in Gobir) against the Hausa overlords. The Fulani leader Umaru Dallaji captured Katsina town in 1806 and was named the first Katsina emir with Katsina as his seat. The emirate was governed by the representative of the sultan of Sokoto (a town 160 miles [258 km] west) as well as the local emir. Many of the Hausa nobility and people fled to Dankama (25 miles [40 km] northeast) and to Tassawa (Tessaoua) and Maradi in Niger, where they proclaimed a Hausa Katsina chiefdom. Their raids throughout the 19th century weakened the Fulani emir and Katsina town (which was surpassed by Kano).

In 1903 Katsina’s emir pledged allegiance to the British rulers of Northern Nigeria. When the British and French set the present Niger-Nigeria boundary in 1904, Katsina emirate was reduced in size and made a part of Kano province. Much of its former territory is now in Katsina state.

Hausa states, group of neighbouring African states, occasionally interconnected from the mid-14th century by loose alliances. Their territory lay above the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers (in present-day northern Nigeria), between the Songhai empire in the west and that of the Kanem-Bornu, or Bornu, in the east. The seven true Hausa states, or Hausa Bakwai (Biram, Daura, Gobir, Kano, Katsina, Rano, and Zaria [Zazzau]), and their seven outlying satellites, or Banza Bakwai (Zamfara, Kebbi, Yauri, Gwari, Nupe, Kororofa [Jukun], and Yoruba), had no central authority, were never combined in wars of conquest, and were therefore frequently subject to domination from outside. Isolated until the 14th century, they were then introduced to Islam by missionaries from Mali. Conquered early in the 19th century by Fulani, in whose jihad, or “holy war,” many Hausa peasants had voluntarily combined, they were organized into emirates. At the beginning of the 20th century, the British took over the administration of the former emirates, to which they attached Bornu to form the northern provinces (subsequently the Northern Region) of the Protectorate of Nigeria.
