Old habits hardly die, most of the changes are for worst cos life frustration would add to it .

So if you have gone through the process of friendship, you would have seen all those traits but the main problem there after seen those traits, someone who is not ready to change himself can not change others. You can't give what you don't have.

The Caliphate is far from forgotten. Its belief systems live on through the Sultans & Emirs in the polytheistic Northern Nigeria

Dan Fodio was succeeded by his son, Muhammed Bello. By early 20th century, the Sokoto Caliphate fell to the British army in 1903 & was incorporated into its protectorate in Northern Nigeria.

The Republic of Haiti & the Sokoto Caliphate were established in the same year; 1804. Dan Fodio died in 1817, at age 62. By this time he had established an Empire of some 30 Emirates administered from the seat of his Caliphate; Sokoto.

This was a time of revolutions around the world. The American Revolution, French Revolution, & the Haitian Revolution. All were reactions against tyranny & inequality, leading to new definitions of justice & renaissance. Africa was not left out.

I know the OP's motive for creating this thread.

I'm cocksure of that.

There would be the domino effect; the rise of the Islamic empires of Massina (in present day Mopti & Ségou Regions of Mali), Tukulor (in present day Senegal to Timbuktu Mali), & in Northern Guinea as well.

But at this time, he was too old to be able to do anything about it. He said & I quote; “when we enter towns & enslave free people, know that the fire will enslave us.” The Sokoto Caliphate went on to inspire other holy wars elsewhere in West Africa.

My brother ask me oooo

A Revolution that began in part to correct the enslavement of Muslims, ends up leading to probably more enslavement than what had come prior to it. And even Usman Dan Fodio himself warned against the way that he saw his revolution turning.

Yet an estimated 2 million people were kept by the Sokoto Caliphate as slaves, to work the fields. In fact at its peak, the Sokoto Caliphate had more slaves than any state in the whole of Africa. This is one of the great ironies of History, isn’t it?

The Sokoto Caliphate boosted of textiles & trade in Kola nuts (one of the stimulants allowed in Islam). Every aspect of trade was booming, including the trade in people. Now only non-Muslims were sold as slaves. But slaves could convert to Islam & be freed.

One of the most notable figures that emerged from Usman Dan Fodio’s revolution was his daughter. She was not a warrior but a Poet. Her name was Nana Asmaʼu. Nana’s life & works are still being celebrated today.

That ushered in the world of Islamic texts & manuscripts. His revolution was social, as much as it was political. It wasn’t just the jihad of the sword, but also of the heart. Women were at the center of his revolution.

In the past, scholars had served as counselors to kings. But now, the scholars themselves were running things. Also note that one of the major outcomes of this revolution was that African languages become languages for scholarly production.

At a time, the Sokoto Caliphate was one of the most powerful empires in Africa. Founded on strict Islamic principles of morality, piety & justice, this would shape the politics of the entire region, right to this day. The caliphate was a new kind of state.

Dan Fodio was inspired by another Jihadist Revolution in the Imamate of Futa Toro (present day Senegal), led by his contemporary; Abdul Kader (almami). This theocratic Imamate of Futa Toro started in the year 1776, the same year as the American Declaration of Independence.

This was a complete & total Revolution. Change of status quo (up became down, down became up). A clever man Dan Fodio was; the Revolution was able to spread like wildfire because he offered freedom to the slaves of his enemies, expanding his Empire.

Then all of a sudden, not just the Hausa kingdom but a larger part of the neighboring Sahel, was also brought into the Sokoto Caliphate. Sokoto Caliphate was one of the largest political unit in terms of population & surface area ever created in Africa.

Dan Fodio now titled Emir Amir al-Mu'minin; translated into "Commander of the Believers," executed the King of Gobir. The Sokoto Caliphate is born. This was novelty; Hausa Kingdom have never been united under a single political ruler.

He wasn’t going to fight until he had some kind of divine permission to do so. So at the open of the 19th century (1801-1808), Dan Fodio & his soldiers conquered all the Hausa city states. From this, they created a new state; the Sokoto Caliphate.

Right here, Dan Fodio claimed he was visited in the dream by no other person than the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, & the Sufi preacher - Abdul Qadir Gilani. In this dream, he was given explicit permission to fight.

“he addressed me as Iman the Saint. And commanded me to do what is approved, & forbade me from doing what is disapproved. And he gave me the Sword of Truth, so that I may advance Islamic law, & defeat the enemies of Allah.” This was his inspiration.

Uthman Dan Fodio have had enough, he didn’t want to dialogue no more. At this point, he was convinced, he had to fight. On one fateful night, a great mystic silhouette appeared in Dan Fodio’s dream. This is how Dan Fodio described the encounter;
