HADEJIA EMIRATE NATIVES TRIBE. BY O. TEMPLE.

HADEJIA A YAU!

HADEJIA EMIRATE

AUTHORITY : Mr. A. Campbell-Irons.

The Emirate of Hadejia contains an area of 2,768 square miles, and is divided into six districts. It is situated to the north-east of Katagum, in the Northern Division. It is a disputed point whether in the tenth century Hadejia or Biram formed one of the seven Hausa States. In the Kano Chronicle there is a mention that the son of the Sarkin Machina Algalfati came to Kano in the reign of Yakubu Bin Abdullahi (1452-63) and was made Chief over Hadejia, with the title of Sarkin Gabbas.

It became a Fulani Emirate in the time of the Jihad, Sambo receiving a flag from Othman Dan Fodio. His elder son Buhari made himself King in defiance of the Sarkin Musulmi's edict in favour of his younger brother; and, obtaining the support of the Sarkin Bornu, defeated all opponents. His reign was one long succession of wars and he was finally killed in battle at Gorguram about 1863.

Hadejia sent in submission to the British in 1903. In 1904 the British occupied the country, but the eights Chief opposed their advent and was overthrown and killed in 1906, and Haruna appointed in his place. He died in 1909, and was succeeded by the Chiroma Abdul Kadri. In that same year the Beiyut-el-Mal was started.

The population number some 115,448, and consists of Kanuri, Fulani, Auyokawa, Maguzawa from Kano, Koyamawa, Beddawa, Ngizimawa, Mangawa. There is a town of historic interest in Hadeija named Garin Gabbas, but which in old times bore the name of Biram, which was originally of great influence. It was founded by Arabs from Bagadaza or Baghdad. One Muktari, or Abayajidd, (Abu-yazid) with his younger brother Biram, migrated west until they reached Birnin Bornu (Kukawa), where the Shehu gave Muktari a town and his daughter in marriage. Muktari was presently compelled to flee, but left his wife on the road, where she gave birth to Biram, who founded Garin Gabbas, Muktari continuing his journey as far as Daura, where he slew the celebrated serpent and married the Queen. Another version of the legend is that it was Biram, the younger brother, who founded Garin Gabbas. A descendant of this Arab family still reigns as Chief.

Hadejia Tribe……

AUYOKAWA.

Capt. J. M. Fremantle. Mr. K. L. Hall.

The origin of the Auyokawa, Shirawa and Teshenawa is identical. Three men of the above names, variously described as Margi, or as coming from Bagirimi territory, east of the Shari, founded three towns about the year 1211 A.D. The date is, however, disputed. Local tradition supplies the names and approximate length of reign of twenty-five Chiefs, descendants of Awuya, which would bring his advent to the year 1346 A.D., whilst another authority gives 1400 A.D. as the probable date. 

In the reign of Jibrin, 1780-1820 A.D., the Fulani came.......... 

BEDDAWA

Beddawa or Bedde, originating from a town called Badr, east of Bagirimi. 

A large number of Bedde, perhaps as many again, are scattered through the Shehurate under various headmen. There are two Bedde villages in the Emirate of Hadejia, and individuals are scattered in some Ngizim villages, and they have one town- ship in the Katagum Emirate, whence the following notes have been collected.* These Bedde claim to have migrated from Asben and to be of the same stock as those in Bornu, but they have different facial markings, and certain dialectical differences have arisen. On the birth of a child the mother's friends bring her corn, pepper, salt, cow-heels, fish, and the pods of dorowa and kimba trees. Seven days after birth the child is named, if a boy after his father or uncle. He is washed in water stolen from another man's house, so that he may be thus early initiated into the business of robbery, which, together with hunting, was a man's main occupation. When a man wishe to marry he pays the parents of the bride 100,000 cowries if she dislikes him the money is returned. Inter- course is often held without marriage. The houses are built in one piece, and all the family live in the same compound. There are no granaries, for the grain is buried, and may be left without deterioration for several years. They eat quantities of dried fish and honey, and to the former attri- bute the fact that they suffer little blindness, though it is worthy of remark that they are very cleanly in their habits. The flesh of dogs and pigs is consumed, the animals usually having their throats cut, but they will eat cattle that have died a natural death. Native beer is largely drunk. A large cylindrical drum was formerly used in time of war. When it was beaten, men, women and children would remain to fight to the death. The weapons in common use were bows and arrows, swords and spears. Shields were used for...... 

MANGA. (MANGAWA)

AUTHORITY : Mr. P. A. Benton.

Manga is a contraction of the name Madinga, but it has been universally adopted for seventy years. They were probably an indigenous race who were conquered by the Kanuri. Recently they suffered much from Rabeh's invasion, but took advantage of it to drive the Kanuri out from the Alanjurori district (Geidam) where they had themselves been settled since circ. 1650 A.D. ; but in five years time the Kanuri returned. The Manga now intermarry with the Kanuri, but not with the Kanembu. * Also used by dancers of Sarkin Kaiama and Sarkin Borgu. 

They accepted British administration at once, but proved trouble some for a few years. They are under a district-head responsible to the Shehu, They are a tall, heavily framed and vigorous race, who were originally hunters, par excellence, they discovered salt and potash, which they now work, farm, fish, dye, weave and plait grass. The majority of the tribe inhabit large territories north of Lake Chad and of the Yo River, but there are a few in the Emirates of Katagum, Hadejia and Gumel, and some..... 

NGIZIM. (NGIZMAWA)

AUTHORITIES :Capt. J. M. Fremantle. Capt. J. ff. Hopkinson.

The Ngizim are an offshoot of the Bedde, who came from Birnin-Bedr, south-west of Mecca, in the time of the Prophet (see history of Bussa and-Illo). The main body, some 12,000 Ngizim, are settled in Bornu. About the year 1700 A. D., they, were living a few miles west of Birni Gazerogomo when the Fulani raided and captured that town the Ngizim consequently migrated to Kanuri and thence to Potiskum, where they conquered the Keri-Keri. Some remained in the Geidam Division, whence they were driven out by the Shehu Omar some sixty years ago, but returned not long after. A few are settled in the Bedde Independent district., and a small number trekked westwards to Hadejia and Katagum. 

In Bornu they have the reputation of being a drunken, backward people, and pagans. In Potiskum the soil is poor, but farming is the principal occupation, and flocks of sheep and goats are kept. There are a small number of traders, but they will never go eastwards. The following notes are concerning the Hadejia Ngizim, many of whom have adopted the Muhammadan religion, and whose customs have evidently been modified by that civilising influence, though they will still sometimes eat cattle that have not 

TEJANI FULANI (TIJJANAI)

The Tejani Fulani settled in the country lying between the Gambia and Senegal Rivers, north of Futajello, where they intermarried with the Futa jello Filane, who had become wander- ing herdsmen in the districts, and whose language they adopted. An Arab, Fodio, and his heirs became chiefs over them. One of his descendants, Alhajji Umoru, made a pilgrimage to Mecca, and on his return stopped at Fez, and then at Sokoto, where he spent seven years, and where Bello, Sarkin Musulmi, gave him his daughter in marriage. On Bello's death (1837) ne went to a pagan district, Mallawa, and assisted by the three Chiefs of the countries of Futa jello, Futa toro and Futa bundu, waged a jihad. In virtue of a flag he had received from the Sultan of Fez, he was appointed head of the Fulani Empire, composed of the above-mentioned States, and took the title of Sarkin Tejani. His conquests extended in the west from Kayes on the Senegal to Aribinta in the east. He was succeeded on his death by his son, who established sway over Timbuktu. About 1894, however, the French drove him from the country, and he retreated to Sokoto. He was given Zamfara, but died shortly afterwards. His younger brother stopped a while near Messau, but threw in his fortunes with the Sarkin Musulmi in opposition to the British and followed him to Burmi, where he was captured and his followers scattered. Amadu Madaniyo, son of Amadu of Zamfara, was appointed Sarkin Tejani by the British, and has settled at the town of Dakkayawa under the Emir of Hadejia. The French invited him to become chief of the old Tejani Kingdom of Segu, but he declined. He is surrounded by some nineteen families only. A somewhat larger number remain in the......

HADEJIA TOWN ASSESMENT REPORT BY H.N. BRICE SMITH, A.D.O. DECEMBER 1916.

HADEJIA A YAU!

   

1. No previous Assesment Report of Hadejia Town has been written, the only records available are those contained in Mr. A.C.G. Hastings General Assesment Repotr of the Hadejia Emirate compiledin March 1910.

2. The town is situated almost in the centre of the Emirate, and is surrounded by the Districts of Teffida Mabudee and Sarkin Dawaki.

3. The river Hadejiaa flowing east, lies as its nearest point a little more than a quarter of a mile from the south west gate. It begins to flow in the middle of June and continues until the end of November. During the rest of the year water is obtainable from pools or by digging in the river bed.

4. There are in addition 83 wells in the town itself, There is therefore an ample water supply available all the year round.

5. The Town had three Walls:-

(1) Dating from pre Fulani times, had four gates. It can be traced at the present  day by certain pits, Maikilabo on the west near the present Alkali's house, Attefi on the south near Gidan Sarkin Busa, and Dellah on the east near the house of the present Galladima. It was about one mile in circumference.

(2) Built by the fulani Sarki Sambo of Hadejia is difficult to trace except on the east where it follows approximately the eastern limit of houses, and on the west where it passes a "Chediya" tree east of the present market. it had five gates. Its perimeter was 2 miles 170 yards approximately. 

(3) Also built by Sarki Sambo is the present wall but when first built it did not extend on the east side of the town beyond the previous wall. the Habe settlement of Fantai remained outside it on the east. This wall was finally extended to its present size by Sarki Haruna, father of Sarki Muhammadu, who fell in the fighting with the Administration in 1906.

Haruna enclosed a large open space on the east to harbour fugitive villagers in case of war. There are five (5) gates. Its perimeter is now 4 miles 135 yards.

(4) The wall was divided up into section, for the repair of which certain villagers used to be responsible. The various gates are still in care of certain of the Sarakuna.

1. The Kofar Arewa.............. Sarkin Arewa

2. Kofar Gabas.................... Madawaki

3. Kofar Kudu.................... Teffida

4. Kofar Kogi................... Galadima

(5) It has been necessary frequently in the past to build temporary walls outside on the South side to prevent flood water from entering the town.

(6) For Three (3) months during the Bazara season of the present year 1916 a mirage (Hausa 'Kauwalwarniya') was visible on the open space between the eastern side of the town and the wall. A similar phenomenon was last seen 32 years ago when the Shehu of Bornu capture the town of Kadera in Adiyani District or Chiroma District. It was expected to portend some exceptional event and was followed by one of the heaviest rain falls within memory.

(7) The town is almost entirely composed of flat roof-ed mud houses and is well kept and clean.

(8) The market is situated inside the town neaar the west gate. The booth are of mud with a few grass (Rumfuna). It is held daily, but the Chief market day is Sunday. The slaughter ground has recently been removed from the market to a spot on the west side, outside the town walls.

(9) Sanitation is on the whole good, the town is noticably free from odours.

(10) Hadejia possesses no Historical document, Authentic History dates only from the founding of the Fulani dynasty early in the 19th Century. It has been recorded in Captain J.M. Fremanle's History of Katagum and in Mr. A.C.G. Hasting's assesment report on Hadejia Emirate written in 1910.

(11) Additional information has been obtained for this report from the following authorities;-

(a) The Galadiman Hadejia-- Usuman

(b) Moman Jekada (one of the Emir Abdulkadir's retinue)

(c) An aged man named Mallam, one of the few surviving descendants of the Habes of pre-fulani times.

The town was founded by a hunter named HADE, a Barebari from Machina (Bornu). Hadejia wandered south hunting, and finding a favourable hunting ground, hung up his quiver on certain 'Tsamiya' tree under which he was resting. His Dog wandered off and his master noticed on its return that it had found water to quench its thirst. He followed the dog which led him to a river. He thereupon returned to Machina and reported to his family that he had found a suitable place for a house, and subsequently  returned with them to the spot. This place proved to be in the country of Auyo, a flourishing Habe town at the time which had been founded about 1,400 A.D. He took to wife a lame woman of the Auyokawa, who lived in a small hamlet nearby. A town sprang up and he was made first Sarki of Hadejia. He was followed by a series of 32 Habe Chiefs, of whom only the names of three are known today, i.e. BAUDE, MUSA And ABUBAKAR. During the reign of Abubakar of Hadejia and Jibrin of Auyo, the fulani arrived from Gobir (via Massina) seeking grazing grounds..................Hadejia A yau.         continued.....

With regard to the Empire of Sokoto, there happened at this time a catastrophe which while it was an unmistakable proof of the devility of that vast agglomeration of provinces, proved at the same time extremely favourable to Bornu; For on the first day of August the news arrived that Buwari or Bukhari the exile Governor of Hadejia, who had conquered the town and killed his Brother Ahmadu, had thrown back with great loss, an immense army sent against him by Aliyu, the Emperor of Sokoto, under the command of his prime minister Abdu Gedado, and composed of the forces of the provinces of Kano, Bauchi,Katagum, Marmar and Buberu, when several hundreds were said to have perish in the Komadugu, or the great fiumara of Bornu.

Hadeja, a  large  town surrounded with a beautiful  and very strong double clay wall, and well  inhabited, the  courtyards being  inclosed  with  clay  walls,  but containing only reed huts.

The inhabitants employ  themselves exclusively in warlike expe¬ditions, and have no industry; but nevertheless there are  still to be seen here a few dyeing-pots, marking the eastern limit  of  this branch of industry.  On the south side of the town is a kogi, or komadugu,  with a  stream of running water in the  rainy  season,but  with only stagnant  pools in summer, along which a little wheat is  cultivated.  It is generally called Wani.

Though without importance in other respects, it is so in  an his¬torical point of view ; for this place being identical with the town Biram ta ghabbes, mentioned  above, is  regarded as  the oldest place of the seven original settlements  of the Hausa nation.

BUKHARI OF HADEJIA... (By Henry Barth)

HADEJIA A YAU!

Travel and discovery in North and central  Africa. By Henry  Barth.......... 

March 18.] BENZARI— BUKHARI OF HADEJA. 323 

Any protection in the neighbourhood of some villages. After we had passed the empty market-place of the little walled town Kabbori, the surface of the ground had a very peculiar look, being covered entirely with colocynths, which were just in maturity. About a mile and a half further on we took up our quarters in Benzari, a town belonging to the province of Mashena, or Maseena, and were well received and hospitably treated by the Ghaladima. The town is separated into two parts by a spacious opening, wherein is the principal well which supplies almost the whole population, but its depth is considerable, being more than twenty fathoms. Here we filled our water-skin the next morning before we set out. 

Tuesday ', March 18. — Scarcely had we left Benzari behind us when my ears were struck by the distant sound of drums and singing, and I learnt on inquiry that it was Bukhari, or, as the Bornu people call him, Buwari, the deposed governor of Hadeja and the brother of Ahmedu, the present ruler of that town. Bokhari's name was then new, not only to me, but even to the natives of the neighbouring provinces. He had been governor of Hadeja, but being a clever and restless man he, or rather his jealous brother,  excited the suspicion of his liege lord 'Aliyu, the ruler of Sokoto, who had deposed him and given the govern-ment to his brother Ahmedu,where upon Bokhari had nothing else to do but to throw himself upon the hospitality and protection of the Bornu people, who received him with open arms, the governor of Mashena, with the sanction of his liege lord the sheikh of Bornu, assigning to him a neighbouring place, Yerimari, for his residence.

This is an incident of very frequent occurrence in these loosely connected empires; but it is particularly so with the Fulbe, among whom one brother often cherishes the most inveterate hatred against another. Exactly the same thing we have seen already in Katsena. Bokhari having remained some time quietly in this place, strengthening his party and assisted underhand with arms and men by the vizier of Bornu, had just now set out to try his fortune against his brother, and was beating the drums in order to collect as many people as possible. Predatory incursions are nothing new in these quarters, where several  provinces and entirely distinct empires have a common frontier; but this, as the event proved, was rather a memorable campaign fortfie whole of this part of Negroland, and was to become "the beginning of sorrows" for all the country around. For Bokhari having taken the strongtrong town of Hadeja, and killed his brother, was not only able to defend himself in his new position, vanquishing all the armies sent against him, and amongst them the whole military force of the empire of Sokoto, which was led on by the vizier in person, 'Abdu the son of Gedado, Clapperton's old friend, but spread terror and devastation to thevery gates of Kano. Indeed, on my second journey through these regions, I shall have the sad duty of describing the state of misery into which districts, which on my former visit I had found flourishing and populous, had been reduced by this warlike chieftain, who instead of founding a strong kingdom and showing himself a great prince, chose rather, like most of his countrymen, to  his power on the destruction. eir 'of 

324. TRAVELS OF AFRICA. [185]  

and devastation of the country around him, and to make himsetf a slave- dealer on a grand scale. Tens of thousands of unfortunate people, pagans as well as Mohammedans, unprotected in their wellbeing by their lazy and effeminate rulers, have from the hands of Bokhari passed into those of the slave-dealer, and have been carried away from their native home into distant regions. Kept in alarm by the drumming, and making some not very tranquilling reflections on the weakness of our little band, which consisted three men and a boy, in the turbulent state of the country through which we were passing, we continued silently on, while the character of the landscape had nothing peculiarly adapted to cheer the mind. 

Cultivation beginning to cease, nothing was to be seen but an immense level tract of country covered with the monotonous Asclepias gigantea with only a single poor Balanites now and then. But the scene became more animated as we approached Chifowa, (Shafowa) a considerable town sur-rounded by a low earthen wall, which I was greatly astonished to hear belonged still to the territory of Gummel, and was also assigned to Bokhari during his exile. The boundary between the provinces must run here in a very waving line. 

All that I observed here testified that the Hausa population still greatly  predominated; and as we had to turn close round the place on the north side, where the ground rose, we had a fine view over the whole interior of the town. It presented a very animated spectacle; and a large number of horsemen were assembled here, evidently in connection with the enterprise of Bokhari, while men and women were busy carrying water into the town from a considerable distance. Of  cultivation, however, very few traces appeared ; but a good many cattle and sheep, and even some camels, were seen grazing about. In Kase-Itiwa also, the next town, we were complimented with the usual Hausa salute. Having then passed through a monotonous tract of country covered with tall reed-grass and with the Asclepias, we reached the town of Yelkazl at half-past nine o'clock in the morning. Here the governor of the province of Mashena, who generally has his residence in the town of the same name, was staying at present, apparently on account of the expedition of Bokhari, which he was assisting under-hand ; and I accordingly had to pay him my compliments, as my horseman, who was a servant of Dan-Tanoma, could not well conduct me any further. We therefore entered the town by the north gate, and found people very busy repairing the fortification, consisting of two walls and three ditches of considerable depth, two of which ran outside round the outer wall, while the third was enclosed between the two walls. 

Having presented ourselves at the residence of the governor, which was situated in the middle of the town, and consisted altogether of reed-work, we obtained good quarters, with a spacious and cool shed, which was the only thing we wanted ; for being anxious not to lose any more time, I had resolved to start again in the afternoon. In order, therefore, to obtain a guide as soon as possible, I went to pay my compliments to the governor, whose name was Mohammed. After a little delay.

BUPOLY HADEJIA... TRIBUTES TO PROF. M.A.HUSSAINI. By Auwal Abu Daud.

HADEJIA A YAU!

The narratives of Binyaminu Usman College of Agriculture, Hadejia now Binyaminu Usman Polytechnic, could not be complete without identifying with the former Provost and Rector.

Prof. Muhammad Auwal Hussaini . The

journey begins four years ago, precisely on 19th September, 2012 when he took over as the 2nd Provost of the former autonomous College of Agriculture. His arrival at the scene brought hope and revolutionized the institution to stand tall among its contemporaries.

Prof. M.A.Hussaini as erudite professor

of Agronomy brought his wealth of experience to bear on every sphere of the institution. He came at a time when the College was desperately in need of

leadership with vision to frontally steer the ship of the crisis ridden institution which clearly manifested in low students’ enrolment, low teacher to students ratio, obsolete equipment, low staff moral and a kind of generalized hopelessness. To his credit within shortest time the scenario changed for better. The manifestation of his good leadership style could be recognized through modest achievements recorded in the following areas:

1. Increasing number of academic staff: The academic staff was strengthened by

54.76% rise by recruitment of competent and dedicated staff through open and transparent process for the first time in the history of the College; from 38-84 academic staff.

2. Establishment of new academic programmes: the number of academic programmes of the institution were rised from four(4) National Diploma

programmes to nine (9), 55.55% increase. Also 0-5 Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes were equally established. Eight (8) programmes were granted interim accreditation by National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).

3. Provision of laptop computers to all

academic staff and strategic non- academic staff through National Communication Commission (NCC) ICT

support scheme.

4. Digitization of Student Record and Staff Management System by establishing first website and portal of the institution. 

5. Digitization of admission process, results processing and examinations management.

6. Establishment of Management Information System Unit (MIS) for the institution.

7. Provision of Wireless Internet Service at the institution library.

8. Reinvigorating the institution’s animal farm by providing necessary facilities.

9. Establishment of functional poultry

farm for the institution.

10. Establishment of standard orchard

11. Establishment of Date Palm plantation.

12. Establishment of Moringa plantation.

13. Establishment of Neem Tree plantation at new campus of the institution.

14. Establishment of Guava plantation.

15. Completion of new site of the institution with state of the art facilities.

16. Establishment of modern Digital Metrological Station (DMS).

17. Regular payment of staff development packages.

18. Regular supply of staff welfare package

19. Establishment of Staff Welfare Committee (SWC).

20. Establishment of fish farm and hatchery.

21. Regular training and retraining of staff on areas of strategic interest to the institution.

22. Speeding process of result collection.

23. Landscaping of major roads at new campus.

24. Providing mentorship to staff.

25. Drastically reducing corruption in

admission and examination through the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

26. Establishment of Monthly Bulletin

for the institution in order to improve image of the institution. And above all, on 15th January, 2016 the College was upgraded to status of a Polytechnic by the Jigawa State Government.

Prof Dedication to work is uncommon as he demonstrated by coming to office

regularly; from Monday to Friday sometime even on weekends.

These traits really had endeared him to

many. Unlike contemporary Africans, when his first term was coming to an end many people encouraged him to seek for second term but he told them that he has done his best to the institution and therefore there is need for him give chance for somebody to try and consolidate on his gains. The Polytechnic community will certainly miss his humbleness and dedication to service.

As you retire as our Rector we fervently pray that May Almighty Allah reward your meritorious service to your state and your country and may he give you good health and strength to continue to render selfless service to humanity.

Thank u sir.
