EMIR SAMBO'S REIGN (1808–1845) THE FASCINATING AREA OF HISTORY.

HADEJIA A YAU!

That's a fascinating area of history! Emir Sambo's reign (1808–1845) was not only the start of the ruling dynasty but also the formal establishment and consolidation of the Hadejia Emirate.

Here are the key points about his reign and the subsequent lineage:

Emir Sambo's Reign (1808–1845)

Formal Foundation: Sambo (also known as Malam Sambo Digimsa) officially founded the Hadejia Emirate in 1808 after the death of his brother Umaru and nephew Mamman Kankiya. He received the Fulani Jihad flag from the Sokoto Caliphate, recognizing him as the Emir.

Capital Establishment: He moved his headquarters to Hadejia town, established a market, and began the process of consolidating Fulani rule over the existing small Hausa kingdoms in the region, which had previously paid tribute to the Bornu Empire.

Territorial Amalgamation: The Emirate was formed by amalgamating several smaller kingdoms, including Hadejia, Auyo, Gatarwa, Garun Gabas, and Kazura.

The Sambo Dynasty Lineage

The history of the Hadejia Emirate after Sambo is largely characterized by competition among his descendants, particularly his sons, which led to a turbulent period. The lineage has sprung from Sambo, but it branched out through several of his sons.

Son of Sambo

A period of significant military expansion. Renounced allegiance to the Sokoto Caliphate in 1851 and successfully defended Hadejia's independence, raiding neighboring emirates like Kano, Katagum, and Gumel.

Ahamadu

1850–1851

Son of Sambo

Installed by Sokoto after Buhari was briefly forced out, but his reign was short-lived when Buhari regained the throne.

Umaru

1863–1865

Son of Buhari (Grandson of Sambo)

Succeeded his father and was approved by the Caliph to bring Hadejia back into the Sokoto fold.

Haruna I

1865–1885

Son of Sambo

Muhammadu

1885–1906

Son of Haruna I (Grandson of Sambo)

Ruled until the arrival of the British.

The most significant figure immediately following Sambo was his son Emir Buhari, who radically asserted Hadejia's independence from the overarching Sokoto Caliphate, transforming the emirate into a formidable military power in the region.

THE EMIR OF ENLIGHTENMENT :ALH Dr.ADAMU ABUBAKAR MAJE CON.

HADEJIA A YAU!

By Ibrahim Lion Hadejia 

In the heart of his Emirate, where tradition and modernity meet beneath the desert sun, stands an Emir whose vision transcends the sands of time. He is not merely a ruler adorned in royal robes, but a shepherd of knowledge a beacon of enlightenment for his people.

From the moment he ascended the throne, the Emir saw education not as a privilege for the few, but as a birthright for all. He believed that the true wealth of a nation is not counted in gold or oil, but in the minds of its sons and daughters. With this conviction, he sowed the seeds of learning across his land building schools where there were none, reviving libraries that had fallen silent, and encouraging every child to dream beyond the horizon.

Under his guidance, young men and women found purpose in the pursuit of wisdom. He invited scholars from near and far, fostering an environment where ideas could flourish like oases in the desert. His Emirate became a cradle of innovation.

Today, his Emirate stands as a testament to his vision: a land where the call to prayer harmonizes with the call to learn, and where every child carries within them the legacy of an Emir who dared to illuminate his world with knowledge.

HISTORY OF GAMAWA TOWN.

HADEJIA A YAU!

GAMAWA... 

The History of this District consists in the history of isolated towns, of which the most important is Gamawa owing to the fighting, which took place between Katagum and Sarkin Gamawa Magaji in the time of Sarkin Katagum Abdu. Makawa is also important as being formerly the stepping stone for 'yan Sarki to high Sarautas. A short account of the eldest and most important towns is given below.

A. Gamawa. There are three sites to this town of which the oldest is Gamawa Gujinbara {North east of present town} it is said to have founded by a Habe named Gamua who came from Kun near Lake Chad.

There are five Habe Chiefs, whose name are known.

1. Gamua

2. Bidboni

3. Mai baloneye

4. Warjabba

5. Mai karo

In the time of Mai karo one Hardo Yero came from Bagirmi and settled at Gurbiri East of Koron. When Mallam Zaki captured Tashena, he made his submission and asked for a town to settle in. Mallam Zaki gave him Gamawa but before occupying it he died and his son Ibrahim Kura with the aid of Mallam Zaki captured Gamawa and killed Mai karo. Ibrahim Kura lived in the town for five years and then died. Adamu or Gorko, his brother succeeded him and lived for twenty nine years in the place. In his time Shehu Laminu captured the town and Gorko fled to Kirehabi, where he died. In this engagement Shehu Laminu killed about 200 men and captured a great many cattle. He however only stayed for 24 days and then returned to Bornu. 

For two years Gamua was unoccupied. Then Sarkin Katagum Dan Kauwa gave the place to Sarki Atawa, who belonged to the same family as the former Chiefs. He was the Hardo Manuwa and cousin to Gorko. He reigned for six years and was then removed from the Sarauta by Dan Kauwa, because he was too old to keep authority. He went to Korori and was there for one year before his death. He was succeeded by Dan Baba, son of Liman Adandaya, brother of Mallam Zaki, who after a brief Sarauta of five years was turned out by Sarkin Katagum Abdurrahman for depopulating his town. He then went to live in Katagum. He was succeeded by Ibrahim, son of Gorko who in his turn was removed from Sarauta by Sarkin Katagum Abdulkadir after seven years for the same reason as Dan Baba. During these years raide were made continuously by the slaves of the Shehu and so during the reign of Ibrahim they removed to the recent site known as Gamawa Kori. After Ibrahim, Suruma Meddi, a distant relation was given the Sarauta but after a reign of only seven month he died.

Abba Shua, son of Balarabe and Mairam, grandson of Dan Kauwa succeeded but after a reign of three years he was driven out of Gamawa Kori by Danbabuje, a Bedde Chief and fled to Shira. Ibrahim was then restored Kadr and was Chief fo twenty four years but was again turn out by Haji for permitting highway robbery and murder on the road to his town. During this time Gamawa Kori was evacuated and they removed to the present site Gamawa Bureri owing to serenity of water. He was succeeded by Magaji son of Alkali Adamu of Keffi. In whose reign the war with Katagum arose. 

There was a further reason for this war a full account of which has been given in the report on the Galadima District, of which I was not informed before. It would seem that the Sarkin Musulmi sent to Sarkin Katagum Abdu, calling him in to Sokoto. He was unable to go and sent Waziri Saidu in his place. Sarkin Musulmi then wrote to all Chiefs under Sarkin Katagum ordering them to break from their allegiance, as he had refused to obey his orders. He wrote to Sarkin Katagum and told him he would not allow him even to drink the water outside Katagum town, called Kabajam, or the Sarkin Ruwa, if he did not come in to Sokoto. Yariman Chinade was to be made Wakili of the Emirate. The Sarkis in obedience to orders refused to follow Katagum. 

Sarkin Gamawa at this time was at the height of his power and had collected horses and guns from Rabeh Mamadu son of Sarkin Katagum Abdu, hearing of this conflagration, collected a force at Sokwa, of which he was then Sarki and set out to attack Sarkin Gamawa. Yerima Chinade had advanced as far as Gadia and reinforcements had came in from the other Chiefs. Mamadu drove them all away at Bagalu, west of the site of the new station at Gadia and then went on to Korori where he defeated and killing Sarkin Gamawa.

After Magaji's death Gorko, grandson of Atawa the father of the present Chief, was given the Sarauta and was succeeded this year by his son Ibrahim. There are no less than five walls in the present town of Gamawa, all of which were filled with people in the time of Magaji; since his time the town has been depleted and is now comparatively small.

GOMBE EMIRATE.

HADEJIA A YAU!

GOMBE EMIRATE.. 

Gombe Emirate was the headquarters of the Emir of Gombe, who, like the Emir of Bauchi, was one of seven Fulani Emirs imposed on an existing Hausa ruling structure by the great 19th-century Fulani Islamic reformer, Uthman dan Fodio. Built as a new town in the 1920s, Gombe was systematically laid out on a grid pattern. The original site of Gombe town was at a place called Gombe Aba, 60 miles to the north on the River Gongola, but it had been condemned as unhealthy due to its proximity to a swamp and so an entirely new town had been constructed. The baked mud houses were large and well built.

Last Man In: The End of Empire in Northern Nigeria

by John Hare

Publication date 2013.

Gombe Emirate comprises an area of 5,114 square miles, with a population of 159,831. Something approaching one fifth of these are Fulane the Bolewa, Terawa and Beri-beri are, as in order mentioned, the next most important tribes numerically speaking. (Vide ' Tribes, Bauchi Province.") The Emirate lies in the great bend of the Gongola River, which bounds it north and east, while on the west it marches with the Bauchi Emirate and to the south abuts on the Tangale Hills. The area is mostly a flat low sandstone plateau, lacking in water, most of the population living near the Gongola River.

For purposes of administration the Emirate is divided into four districts, Gombe, Nafada, Ako and Dukul. The Emirate and divisional headquarters have been moved from Gombe to Nafada (population 7,000), on the Gongola River, which is navigable as far as Nafada from July to October for barges, from early June to end of October for canoes. Steam craft have reached Gombe, but the passage is dangerous. Other big towns are Duku, Tongo, Gadam, and Debba Habe.

Buba Yero, the first Emir of Gombe, was by birth a fulane of the Tara clan, who came from Dilara. His father sent him to Kukawa to study, but he was captured by the Kerre-Kerre on the way thither, and spent three years as a slave at Potiskum, On obtaining his liberty he journeyed to Sokoto and spent his early years in study under Othman dan Fodio. When the Jihad commenced he took part in the capture of Zanfara and was given a flag, authorising a Jihad amongst the pagan states, the Sarkin Musulmi, giving him precedence over Bauchi, Katagum, Katsina, Zau-Zau, Zanfara and Hadeija.

This campaign was concurrent with that waged by his powerful neighbour, Yakubu, Emir of Bauchi, with whom he came into conflict at Beri-beri where he was defeated. Yakubu refused to allow him to extend his dominion west of the Gongola. Buba Yero, therefore, extended his conquests to the River Benue and deputed a lieutenant to rule over Muri town and the southern dominions as his vassal. This lieutenant was, however, subsequently killed by Buba Yero for failing to render obedience, but his son and successor succeeded in throwing off the yoke of Gombe. To the east of the Gongola, Buba Yero subdued the country as far as Adamawa, and then turned his attention to the north. It is related that he made a joint campaign with Messau, resulting in the capture of Birnin Bornu. In after years the Emirs of Gombe and Messau were constant allies. After this he moved to Nafada, and undertook the pacification of the Fika Bole, but met with considerable opposition. Kalam was broken later.

In 1824 he made his camp at a Filane settlement, where he founded Gombe town, and he lived to enjoy the fruits of his conquests till the mature age of seventy-nine. However, a large number of pagans subsequently revolted and successfully threw off the Filane yoke.

A tale of forgotten Hadejia airstrip

HADEJIA A YAU!

Many years ago the residents of Hadejia and adjoining villages, mostly Fulani herders saw an airplane hovering around while descending slowly; they all abandoned what they were doing and thronged to the airstrip located about two kilometers away from Hadejia town in order to catch a glimpse of the gigantic flying object.

Daily Trust on Sunday gathered that the airstrip which was said to have been opened in 1954 was only used for transporting high profile personalities, who were mostly colonial masters.

It was gathered that the former Premier of the regional government of defunct Northern Nigeria and the Sardauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello, used the airstrip while on a campaign rally in Hadejia emirate.

The airstrip which had only a windsock as landing and take-off instrument was used only for very important occasions.

Although there are various versions on how the airstrip looked at that time as some sources said there was a literite compacted runway, while others said it was just a dusty plain land that served as the runway.

In any case, what remains of the airstrip include two dilapidated structures and a plain land with demarcation signs, suggesting it is no longer in use. The land has also been allocated for development.

As most of such airstrips across the country, it could only accommodate small planes which carry six to seven passengers.

Daily Trust on Sunday gathered that when it was in use, a canopy was always erected for receiving personalities. 

Security agents drafted to the airstrip during such visits were the royal guards and the Native Authority policemen.

Adamu Dede, a Fulani herder who said he witnessed the landing and take-off of an airplane from the airstrip on about three different occasions, said though he was only seven years of age, he could remember the dust that took over the entire area whenever the plane was taxing for taking off.

He added that at that time, whenever they noticed “the big flying object coming close to the ground, we would rush to the airstrip because that meant that a plane was about to land.”

Dede, who was seen rearing cattle on the land once used as the airstrip, told our correspondent that at that time, their major concern was to see the airplane land, not the personalities on board.

Dede, who is now about 60 years of age, added that at that time age or sex didn’t matter as they all rushed out each time a plane approached the airstrip. 

On how long the plane usually stayed on ground before taking off, Dede said it remained at the airstrip for about three to four hours before it flew back to base.

He said he could remember that there was a flag in the place, probably that was the windsock which aided the pilot in determining not only the direction of the wind but also the velocity of the wind.

Dede who spoke with excitement recalled that the plane he saw on three different occasions bore different designs.

He said they were all white in colour but with different stripes.

He added that the royal guards, who were fully in charge of security, were always on horse- back.

“No one could go close to the plane let alone touch it. Apart from the few who were privileged to go to Saudi Arabia on pilgrimage, nobody can say exactly what the interiors of the plane was like. I was a child then and you know children of those days were not so inquisitive,” he said. 

Speaking to Wazirin Hadejia, Alhaji Hashim Amar, said the airstrip was established in 1954, and that he was a primary school pupil at that time.

The Waziri recalled that when the Premier of Northern Nigeria, Ahmadu Bello, came to Hadejia they assembled at the airstrip to welcome him.

Amar, however, added that he could not speak much about the airstrip, which functioned mainly between 1954 and 1965, because he left Hadejia for school in Kano.

He added that the airstrip was last used by Ahmadu Bello in September,1965, when he came for political campaign, saying, there was information that apart from Ahmadu Bello, the military also used the airstrip.

THE FULANI EMPIRE.....

HADEJIA A YAU. 

<sup>With place names, though there is a growing measure of standard- ization, a number of variations still have currency. Some of them, such as Garin Gabas and Kalembina, are incorrect and should be discarded. With others, however, where the best spelling is still an open question, a choice can legitimately be exercised. Hence Hadeija rather than Hadejia and, among proper names, Fodiyo and Jaidu rather than Fodio and Jedo.

At that time there were a number of small principalities Auyo, Bedde, Shira, and Tashena lying between Bornu and Hausa land. They were under the jurisdiction of the Galadima and it was there that the reformers now rose against the authority of Bornu. First of all a pastoral Fulani called Abdure, or Abduwa, threw off his allegiance and declared for Shehu. Although he himself died very soon afterwards, his two sons, Umaru and Sambo, obtained a flag and a commission to subdue the principality of Auyo.

This they very soon did. Next they took possession of the town of Hadejia, which they enlarged and strengthened, and from there they proceeded to extend their authority over the intervening and surrounding towns and villages. One of these, incidentally, was Garun Gabas, the only one of the original Hausa Bakwai which had failed to develop into even a principality. This territory became the nucleus of the Emirate of Hadejia.

Meanwhile, another Fulani, Ardo Lareima, had also joined the Jihad. He lived near Nguru and, before the war, had been the agent appointed by the Galadima to collect tax and tribute from the pastoral Fulani in the district. Although the Galadima had given him a daughter in marriage he declared for Shehu and urged the Fulani to rise. In the first clash Lareima was defeated, but later, when he had been reinforced by Sambo of Hadejia and Ibrahim Zaki of Shira, whom we shall meet again later, he was completely victorious.</sup>

Bornu forces were defeated, Nguru sacked, and the Galadima killed. The destruction of Nguru and the consolidation of Hadejia meant that in the northern sector of Bornu’s western frontier the reformers had been completely successful.

After the destruction of Nguru and the capture of Hadejia, the Fulani made their next move against Shira, which Ibrahim Zaki, whose adopted country it was, invaded and occupied in 1807. The three leaders then met near Damaturu and agreed upon a concerted plan of campaign. While Ibrahim Zaki attacked Tashena.

Although the Fulani had failed to crush Bornu, as before the emergence of El-Kanemi had seemed likely, they had nevertheless made substantial gains at Bornu’s expense. In the north-west Sambo Digimsa had established the new Emirate of Hadejia. In the west Ibrahim Zaki had welded Shira and Tashena together to form the new Emirate of Katagum. In the south Buba Yero had carved the new Emirate of Gombe out of pagan lands over which Bornu had previously held sway.

All these leaders had received flags from Shehu during the fighting and were now recognized by him as the rulers of the territory which they controlled.

By the year 1810 the first phase in the creation of the Fulani Empire was complete. The former States of Gobir, Zamfara, and Kebbi had been merged into one and had become the metropolitan Sultanate. In Kano, Katsina, and Zazzau, as we have seen, the Hausa Chiefs had been driven out and supplanted by Fulani Emirs. In western Bornu the new Emirates of Hadejia and Katagum had been created. Similarly, in the south-east the Emirates of Gombe, Adamawa, and Bauchi had been forged out of formerly pagan lands and were still in the process of enlarging their territory and influence.

GUMEL EMIRATE....

HADEJIA A YAU!

GUMEL.... The town lies at the intersection of roads from Kano city, Gujungu, Hadejia, Maigatari, and Zinder (Niger). The emirate was founded c.1750 by Dan Juma of Kano city (75 mil [121 km] southwest) and his followers of the Manga (Mangawa) tribe; shortly after his death in 1754, it became a tributary state of the Bornu Kingdom. 

The emirate survived the Fulani attacks of Usman dan fodio's jihad ("holy war") in the early 19th century and never became part of the Fulani Empire of Sokoto. 

In 1845 Gumel's capital was moved from Tumbi (20 mil north in present day Niger) to the present site; and in 1851 Heinrich Barth, a German geographer, visited the busy Gumel market, where cloth, tools, pots, cattle, sheep, donkeys, horses, and agricultural produce were traded (described in his Travels and Discoveries in North and Cen- tral Africa [1857-58]).

Wars with nearby Hadejia, Kano, and Zinder (Damagaram) plagued the emirate from 1828; the war with Hadejia continued until Gumel's emir Abdullahi was killed in battle in 1872. Slave raids toward the end of the century by Damagaram further depopulated Gumel. Emir Ahmadu submitted to the British in 1903 and the Gumel emirate, reduced in size to its present 1,205 sq mi (3,121 sq km), was incorporated into Kano Province.

HADEJIA EMIRATE...

HADEJIA A YAU!

Hadejia, town and emirate, Kano Province, Kano State, Northern Nigeria. The town is on the Hadejia River (a seasonal tributary of the Komadugu Yobe, which flows into Lake Chad) and lies at the intersection of roads from Nguru, Gumel, Katagum, and Keffin Hausa.

The emirate's savanna area of 2,720 sq mil (7,045 sq km) originally included seven small Hausa kingdoms (one of which, Hadejia, was named for a hunter of the Kanuri tribe) that paid tribute to the Kingdom of Bornu.

About 1805, Umaru, a Fulani herdsman who held the title sarkin ("chief) Fulanin Hadejia, pledged allegiance to the Fulani jihad ("holy war") leader, Usman dan Fodio. Umaru's brother and successor, emir Sambo (reigned 1808-45), officially founded Hadejia emirate in 1808, moved the Fulani headquarters to Hadejia town, established a market, and began to consolidate Fulani rule over the Hausa kingdoms.

Emir Bukhari (also Bohari, Bowari; reigned 1848-50, 1851-63) renounced Hadejia's allegiance to Sokoto (a town, 325 mil [523 km] west) in 1851, raided the nearby emirates of Kano, Katagum, Gumel, Bedde, and Jama'are, and enlarged Hadejia emirate to its present size. Heinrich Barth, the German geographer, described the devastation wrought by Buhari's conquests in his Travels and Discoveries in North and Central Africa (1857-58). Hadejia was brought back into the Fulani Empire after Buhari's death, but wars with neighbouring Gumel continued until 1872.

In 1906 the British installed an emir Haruna and incorporated the emirate into Kano Province. The present emirate council governs from Hadejia town.

The town is the emirate's chief market centre, handling cotton, millet, guinea corn, fish, and rice, which is grown in the river valley, and serves as its most important collecting point for peanuts, an export crop which is trucked to Kano city (110 mil west-southwest) for shipment by rail. Cattle, goats, guinea fowl, sheep, and donkeys are kept by the local Hausa and Fulani peoples. Several small lime industries exist in scattered parts of the emirate. Hadejia town has a hospital (1935), a health office, and a maternity clinic. Pop. (1972 est.) 29,172. •map, Nigeria 13:86...

ELLEMAN TIJJANI.

HADEJIA A YAU!

When Umar Futi died his son Ahmadu Shehu (from the union with Satiru) became Sarkin Tijjani, or king of the whole western Fulani empire extending from Kayes on the Senegal to Aribinta in the East, and Segu became the capital. Eventually Ahmadu changed his capital to Nioro, and his son Ahmadu Madaniyo remained as his representative in Segu. Both Ahmadu Shehu and Ahmadu Madaniyo refused to allow tree passage for French traders, and in about 1893 French pressure caused them to flee to the east. It took two years to reach Sokoto, and there Ahmadu Shehu died, to be succeeded by his brother, Bashiru.

 

According to colonial records, Bashiru started on a pilgrimage to Mecca, but on reaching the Emirate of Misau, Amadu, the father of the present Emir of Misau, persuaded him to stay and gave him a town. Subsequently the Sarkin Musulmi arrived in his fight from the British and Bashiru followed him to Burmi, where he was captured and then taken to Lokoja. Mr. Temple, Resident Bauchi, made Ahmadu Madaniyo to be Sarkin Tijjani, but after the encounter at Burmi, the Tejani scattered in all directions and settled in different parts of the country. Ahmadu Madaniyo went with a few followers to Hadejia where he was given a town Dakkayawa by the Sarkin Hadejia.

Many contemporary Kano mallams believe that the flight of Bashiru from Sokoto to Misau by way of Kano was the first major contact of Kano with Tijaniyya followers. Colonial records suggest that both Sokoto and Kano gave the refugees a warm welcome. According to oral testimony, however, both the Kano and Sokoto rulers were very much afraid of the refugees, for they were numerous and well armed. The contemporary successors to Bashiru, who live in Hadejia, maintain that he did not even stop at Kano but followed a course between Zaria and Kano."

When Ahmadu Shehu reached Sokoto he is reported to have had seven sons with him; Bashiru also is reported to have had seven sons with him. The sons of Bashiru, except Dahiru and Tijani, were to die before the battle of Burmi; these two surviving sons were exiled to Lokoja with Bashiru. Ahmadu Madaniyo did not oppose the British and after Burmi was given land in Hadejia at Yalleman, where he settled with about 200 families. The descendants of this group are still living there. Tijani followers who actively opposed the British at Burmi fled to a place in Sudan near Khartoum (a village called Sennar), by way of Nahud and El-Obeid. Descendants who fled to Sudan are still settled there under the leadership of Aliyu b. Usman.

According to Isa Warure of Kano, "When Ahmadu came to Nigeria from French territory, he went to Sokoto, but was refused entry. This was probably because Ahmadu was well equipped with guns and a powerful army. The people of Sokoto were afraid of him. Therefore the Tijani people went to a place in Sokoto province called Mai Kulki, where they lived until Ahmadu died. Then the people of Ahmadu came to Kano where they asked Emir Abbas if they could have land. Again they were refused, so they went to the Emir of Hadejia, Mai Shahada, where they were received and given a place called Yelleman. 

The leader of the Tijani at this time was Ahmadu Madani. His descendants still lead the Tijaniyya in Hadejia. This settlement was quite large and was built on the banks of the river Dakayyawa. Some of the Tijani did not stop in Hadejia, but went on to the Sudan, to a place called Sennar Taqāțțu on the banks of the River Nile, near Khartoum. They called their village Dar-es Salam. They still live there" interview, Kano November 1, 1964; Hausa).

According to Muhammad Ghali, Sarkin Tijaniyya, "The trip from Sokoto to Hadejia took eight years. When the refugees had arrived in Sokoto they included about 60 chiefs, each with several hundred followers. They did not ask to stay in Sokoto because they intended to settle in Mecca. From Sokoto they did not come to Kano, but followed a route between Kano and Zaria. One representative from Sokoto accompanied them on the journey. The emir of Zaria said they could not enter Zaria; they had no communication with the emir of Kano. The actual route from Sokoto to Hadejia was as follows: From Sokoto to Gusau [Sokoto Province] to Garko [Kano Province] to Gaya [Kano Province] to Darajiya [Bauchi Province] to Bisirka [Bauchi Province] to Darazu [Bauchi Province to Wura-Dugga [Bauchi Province] to Jego [Bauchi Province] where they spent two years to Misau [Misau emirate] to Nafada [Gombe Emirate] to Hashidu [Bauchi Province] to Gungura [Bauchi Province] to Hadejia [Kano Province]" (interview, Yelleman, Hadejia, May 12, 1965, Hausa).

The contemporary Tijani community in Yalleman exists as an enclave of about 500 to 1000 families mainly traders, farmers, and mallams-under the leadership of Sarkin Tijaniyya Muhammad Ghali b. Umar, a grandson of Ahmadu Shehu. Contact is maintained between Yalleman and Senegalese. Umarian Tijaniyya, and also with the Traditional Tijaniyya of Zaria and with Reformed Tijaniyya of Kano. The emirs of Hadejia were initiated into Tijaniyya in the twentieth century (they are reported to have been sympathetic to Mahdiyya in the late nineteenth century) and are of the Umarian persuasion. The major center of Umarian Tijaniyya in northern Nigeria in the nineteenth century was Adamawa, which was partly due to the influence of Raji. These same Umarian areas were among those that came to follow Mahdiyya.

The lines of Umarian succession to authority in Kano Province (Hadejia) have been dynastic, and the Umarian community has come to be associated primarily with those who had some kin or disciple relationship with Umar. The link that Umar represents with the Jihad leadership, however, has been of major importance to the twentieth century legitimization of a "northern religious community" composed of both Tijaniyya and Qadiriyya.
