THE KINGDOM OF ZAMFARA
Zamfara was one of the Seven Hausa States of the Central Sudan. In accounts recorded by Sultan Muhammad Bello and other Islamic historians, the area called Zamfara is one of the famous Bilad al- Sudan in which Islam flourished. The Modal-Sudan latter included Kano, Rano, Daura, Katsina, Zaria, Biram and Gobir, Kebbi, Zamfara, Yauri, Nupe, Gurma, Borgu and Yoruba.The promenance of the people of Zamfara has not been clearly recorded, but according to some local historians, the Zamfara people like so many other kingdoms of the central Sudan, came from the midle east through Bornu and what is today known as Kano. They were farmers as well as hunters. The Zamfara people were and are still called "Taubasai" or tribal cousins of the Kanawa (the people of Kano).
The first Zamfara settlement which was only a small area of land was Dutsi, an area within Zurmi District. History has it that they were seventy seven in number and for seven years they lived without a ruler. Then they appointed Dakka to be their leader. And later, in memory of this first ruler, every Zamfara king was known as "Ginshikin Gidan Dakka" that is pillar of the house of Dakka". After Dakka there were four successive male kings, Jatau, Jimir Dakka, Kokai-kokai and Dudufani, and a Queen Yargoje. It is said that these early six rulers were giants in build (Samudawa). They had an unusual strength, physical and an impressive ability to rule justly. Today there are six moulds of sands of various sizes in Dutsi which are said to be tombs of the six rulers. Until recently there was an old custom where by every Zamfara child, as he grew, poured sand over the tombs as a mark of respect. The Origin of the name "Zamfara" is told differently by different local historians. But the one that sticks most is the story of a beautiful princess, a daughter of a Sarkin Gobir whose name was Fara.Fara was married to a man she hated, and so one fateful day, she ran away from her husband and entered a bush where she eventually got lost.
