A SHORT HISTORY OF HADEJIA BY MUSA USMAN MUSTAPHA.

HADEJIA A YAU!According to S.J. Hogben,
Hadejia town was founded in The 15th
Century. The assertion draws some authority
from the manuscript of the Kano chronicles,
where it was stated that, during the reign of
Yakubu Abdullahi Barjo who ruled Kano
from 1452AD to 1463AD. The King of
Machina Algalfati went to Kano with his
three Brothers. Sarkin Kano Yakubu gave
Sarkin Machina Algalfati the right to rule
Gaya and so he became the ruler of the
town. While one of Algalfati's brother went
to Rano where Sarkin Rano appointed him
the ruler of Dal. The second Brother
proceeded to Zazzau, where Sarkin Zazzau
appointed him the ruler of Gayan, And the
third Brother went to Garun Gabas, where
Sarkin Gabas appointed him the Ruler of
HADEJIA.

And established the dynasty which
ruled the town until the outbreak of the
19th century Jihad.
On the basis of this assertion, the town was
said to have been established sometime in
the 15th century, but the tradition which the
assertion was based on, contained certain
short comings which made its authenticity
doubtful. In the first place throughout the
period of our field work, not a single person
mentioned this tradition. And secondly
neither the tradition of Hadejia nor that of
the places (Kano, Gaya, Rano, Dal, Zazzau and
Gayan) mentioned the tradition, connect
their origins with each other.


And finally the fact that one of Algalfati's
brothers was appointed the ruler of the
town in the 15th century did not in any way
indicate that the town was established at
the time. In fact, if any thing, the tradition
only showed that the town was established
earlier than this development because a
ruler can only be appointed to an existing
town not the other way round.

THE 19TH CENTURY JIHAD AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF HADEJIA EMIRATE.

Hadejia A yau. In assessing the impact of the 19th century Jihadist movement in Hausa land, (a major development in the History of the region), scholars and students of History have agreed that the movement created a political community much larger than any that had existed in the region before then. The process involved the suppression of several sovereign politics that that have developed over several centuries in the area. There was no doubt that internal forces within Hausa land, such as the widening gap between the ruled and the rulers, as a result of the corrupt policies of the later, contributed to this transformation. It is also our belief that the Jihadists (as Intelligensia of the society) served as agents of the internal development that took place in Hausa land at the beginning of the 19th century. But one still needs to ask the question why and how did the Jihadist come to exert such an important historical influence?

The origin of the Fulani Jihadist is a subject that has given rise to many conroversies. One undisputed fact is that some centuries ago they occupied the region of Tekrur, Futa Toro,and Futa Jallon between the Senegal and Niger Rivers. Since then, it is believed that they have been moving Eastward through Massina and the Hausa states toward chad, Fombina and beyond At the time of their movement, an important political development was taking place in Bilad at Sudan, especially in Borno and Kano in the late 15th century, and early 16th century. The period of the Jihadist migration into the above areas is a period of radical political change associated with Mai Ali Ghaji (1470-1503) in Borno and Muhammed Rumfa (1463-1499) in Kano.

The new ideas generated as a result of their policies had brought together people of diverse (descent) linguistic and occupational groups under one umbrella.
