Bugaya
Muhammad Bugaya Dan Tsamiya, known as Bugaya, was a King of Kano who reigned from 1385 - 1390. Early life Muhammad was the son of Tsamiya and Maganarku. After the betrayal and subsequent murder of his father by his uncle Usman Zamnagawa, his uncle tried to bed Maganarku but she told him she was pregnant. Zamnagawa then gave her herbs to abort the baby without her consent. She however still gave birth to a healthy child. This was how he earned the epithet "Bugaya". This would put his year of birth between 1343 and 1344. Life as Sultan Bugaya came to power in 1385 after the death of his brother, Yaji I. Bugaya was said to have sent the Maguzawa from Fongui Rock and compelled them to disperse across the sultanate. Bugaya's reign was filled with peace and tranquility, most likely profiting from the reputation of his late older brother. Jizya was paid regularly throughout the sultanate and he enjoyed no rebellion. This allowed him to retire to a peaceful life after transferring all ...

Yaji I
Ali Dan Tsamiya known as Yaji I or Ali Yaji Dan Tsamiya was a king and later the first Sultan of Kano, a state in what is now Northern Nigeria. Yaji I ruled from 1359 to 1385 CE. A prominent figure in the state's history, Yaji used a religious revolution to finally solidify his family's grasp on Kano and its sub-kingdoms after centuries of strife. He was also responsible for the absorption of Rano into Kano. Since the arrival of the first king of Kano, Bagauda in 999, there had been tension between the newly established aristocracy and the indigenous pagans of Kano. All subsequent Kano Kings engaged in feuds with the pagan population but were unable to gain mastery over them. In 1350, Yaji aided by Soninke Wangara scholars from Mali, relinquished the Hausa Animist Cult of Tsumbubura, and proclaimed Kano a Sultanate. He violently crushed a subsequent rebellion by the animist cult at the Battle of Santolo, waging in the processes the first Islamic Jihad in Sudanic Africa. He conqu ...

Kanajeji
Kanajeji Dan Yaji, known as Kanajeji, was the 13th ruler of Kano and, for a period, the ruler of Zazzau. He reigned from 1390 - 1410. Like his father, Yaji I, Kanajeji was an intrepid king whose reign was characterized by war, conquest, and religious reformation. Kanajeji engaged in two long and pivotal wars with Umbatu and Zazzau, and eventually prevailed in both, after lengthy feuds. He took Umbatu in four attempts, and Zazzau after two battles. He also renewed the suzerainty his father had imposed over the Kwararafa. However, in a bid to conquer Zazzau, his reign also saw the return of the pagan practices his father sought to expunge. He is credited with revolutionizing Kano's army through the introduction of quilted leather armors (''lifidi''), steel armors, coats of mail, and iron helmets. Lineage and Accession He was the son of the first Sultan of Kano, Ali Yaji Dan Tsamiya and Aunaka. The short reign of his father's successor, his uncle, Muhammad Bugaya, was pervaded with ...

The Dynasty spanned over 800 years spread out through ten centuries, one of the longest in recorded human history and produced 43 kings. After the fall of the dynasty in Kano, the remnants of the royal house founded a new kingdom in the Maradi Region.

Kano Chronicle
The ''Kano Chronicle'' (''Tarikh arbab hadha al-balad al-musamma Kano'' in Arabic) is an Arabic-language manuscript that lists the rulers of Kano. Summary The ''Kano Chronicle'' is a list of rulers of Kano stretching back to the 10th century AD. It tells of eleven clans of animists (such as salt extractors, brewers, or smiths) who were warned by their spiritual leader that a stranger would come and cut down their sacred tree and wrest their dominion from them: “If he comes not in your time, assuredly he will come in the time of your children, and will conquer all in this country” (Palmer 1928: III: 98). Indeed, a man named Bagauda arrived soon after, conquered, and became the first king of Kano according to the chronicle (Palmer 1928: III: 97-100). Authorship The existing ''Kano Chronicle'' was probably written in the 1880s by Malam Barka, a ''Dan Rimi'' (high-ranking slave official) who worked for Muhammad Bello, the ''Sarkin Kano'' (ruler of Kano) who reigned from 1882– ...

Maguzawa Hausa People
Maguzawa are a subcategory of the Hausa people. Most of the citizens are found in the rural areas close to Kano and Katsina and other parts of Northern Nigeria.
