The History of Gobirawa (the people of Gobir)has been one of the most famous and influential in Africa.

They magrated from the east in 1000AD and have descent from Nomadic Copts or kibdawa in Arebia.
Their record shows a migration from gobir in Yemen, North of Mecca.
During the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Gobirwa, under their king Bana Turmi, were said to help the prophet in the Battle of badr in 624AD.
At the end of the wars half of them stayed in egypt under Dangaladima, while the other half continued their migaration westwards through Khartoun and Borno.
Origin-of-gobirawa-and-their-tribal-marks
They became masters of Asben at Goran Rami and stayed in Magala for 200 years.
Later they were attracted by the riches of Balma in the deserts of present Niger Republic where they spent anther 200 years.
it was during this period their prince Dagazau founded the present tawn of Birnin Konni.
they also stayed in Baranda and later moved to Birnin lalle where they spent another 2000 year.
At Birnin lalle, they had difficulty in choosing their leader, but finally on choosing Dala as their King, they were drive southhwords by the Tuaregs and Dala led them to camp at a place called Dutsen Zana.
Dala was succeeded by Bashirin Darwai who faunded the tawn of kunya and Gidan Runji both in Niger Ripublic now.
In the reign of Muhammadu Tsaida Rana, the Gobirawa entered wars with Katsinawa and forced them to abandon their city Katsina to found a new place maradi.
The Gobirawa further moved South conquering their neighbours and expanding their move they camped near Zaria, here they founded the town of Soba, and Sobi on the banks of Niger in Nupe land.
Soba and his army stayed in Yoruba land for the next ten years.
Under Sule Dangaladima, some Gobirawa stayed and inter-married with the Yoruba People and established themselves there.
The mame “Gamba” by the Yorubas is a polluted way of saying “Gobir” being that Gobir man was the first Hausa man to have cotact with the Yoruba.
Today the title of Dangaladima is the second highest traditional title in Ilorin.
After they come back from Yoruba land in the early 16th century, Gobirawa were led by Sarkin Gobir Ibrahim Babari to found their new capital at Alkalawa after building its walls, that Gobirawa were able to settle and consolidated their kindom.
They have been on the move throughout 1000 years since the battle of badr.
Gobirawa were first attacked in their new capital by the Tuaregs, but they drove their enemies away at the battle of Dangude.
Ibrahim Babari expanded the kingdom by threaaning and sacking Birnin Zamfara, capital of Zamfara. These wars lasted for 15 years.
Although they suffered some defeats in some few wars Gobirawas gave Gobir the control of the whole territory between Katsina on the East and Kabbi in the West.to the south the Frontier were pushed up to Bakura and the remnants of Zamfara.
It was this Ibrahim Babari who gave birth to Bawa Jan Gwarzo, the spiritual leader of Gobirawa who become one of the most famous kings in not only the History of Gobir but also Africa.
It was during Bawa’s reign that Gobir reached its peak. Because of their warlike nature, Gobirawa undoubtedly waged wars with Katsina, Kabbi, Nupe e.t.c.
Wars have became part of their culture and today they are simply idemtified through the facial markings of 6 and 7 on their cheeks. This facial markings could have originated from Egypt where it could be seen under eye of Kings of Egypt. Read original history of gobir kingdom

Hello Ladies And Gentlemen In Islam, Mine Is Just A Piece Of Advise To All Of Us. In Fact, I Would Like To Use This Medium To Further Warn Those Who Uttered An Abusive Terms, To Mujaddadil Islam Ashsheikh Usman Bin Fodio, To, On Their Own Good And The Safety Of Their Religion, Desist From Doing So And Repent To Allahu { Swt } Or Else A Very Ugly Calamity May Likely Be The Befalling Calamity. The Wisdom Here Is, The Criticized Danfodio Is Godly. He Has Not Wage War Out Of Selfishness Or Worldly Gains And As Such Who So Ever Condemns Him Commits A Grave Sin. There Is A Prophetic Hadith Alqudsi Which Allah Says ” He Who Opposes My Love Ones Should Prepares To Enters War Me…..” Thus, My Brethrens And Sisters I Appeal To You As Muslims Not Gobirawa, Hausawa, Katsinawa Or Yarbawa To Be Very Very Careful About What You Say And Do For The Day Of Reconning Will Surdly Come. So Be Very Careful, Danfodio’s Position Must To Be Highly Dignified And Be Upheld With Utmost Respect. Thanks And Maassalam.
YES Mal. May GOD Helf YOU Ameen
Thanks u very much brother

Know that all that happened in the past has pass in history we see rise and fall of various empires a good example is the rashidun islamic empire how great it was ruled by the rightly guided caliphs in the end it fell to the rising ummawiyya empire then came the abbasid and after it the ottomans a non arab rising empire that supassed the hitherto arab rulling caste and survive unto the mordern era but in the end fell to the imperialist and islamic rule is ended so it is it happeneds to nations,states and empires wether ghana,mali,songhai,borno and the hausa states we are all subject to the will of allah . I am a hausa man of kano origin reading histories of my predecessors make me proud but that didnot stop me to apprciate others let unite brothers on what ones made our ancestors so great , bi salam
Hello, can you please mention the reference which connects the people of Gobir to the Copts of Egypt? Also, I have read that the people of Gobir are different in colour from the rest of peope in Nigeria and that they are of the colour if the Coots. Is this true? With many thanks.

This history is not justified, so, taday there is many research which show that people which come from Egypt , Pharaonic people is FELLATAH.
Oqba had have somme children (only the women) with a fulani woman. Among them, there was one who married Foulah and give birth to DIALLO,DIAKITE, SIDIBE and SANGARE.
But this history is passed at the 7e century. So, it is relatively recent it passed many time after the Fulani people came from Egypt.
If you take Gobirawa history, ther is not a serious hypothese. Gobirawa come from haoussa “Bakoye ” and leave their area for going in Ayer (Agadez) before to come again in the land near their original area.
