Bayajida the prince of Baghdad. The legend has it that there was a prince who emigrated from the land of Mesopotamia, back when Baghdad was the capital of that empire. He traveled South and West to reach the land of Kanem Bornu, an ally of the Ottoman empire in the time of Idris Aloma. Bayajida was married to a preincess of Bornu, Magira. He again traveled West to Hausaland and arrived in Daura, a city ruled by Queens. In Daura, there
was a well in which lived a ferrocious snake and this monster terrorized the people of the town. It was told that Bayajida killed the snake, upon which the Queen rewarded with half of her dominion. He settled in Daura and his sons untimately spread out to become rulers of the seven Hausa States.

But of course this is a legend. The Hausa bakwai or the seven legitimate Hausa States are ruled by Fulani dynasties descending from Usman Dan Fodio's Islamic conquest of the North. The seven are Biram, Daura, Gobir, Kano, Katsina, Rano, Zaria. Each is ruled by an Emir.

There is also Banza Bakwai or the seven illegitimate Hausa States. They are Gwari, Ilorin, Kebbi, Kororafa (Jukun), Nupe, Yauri, Zamfara.

Mythology always has holes.

Have you heard about Oduduwa who came to the world from Heaven brought a chicken and a handful of sand .

He got to earth that was flooded and threw the sand down so the chicken helped him to spead it all over the world

How Ridiculous!!!!!! Thats why they are called myths
