Sarauta means Chief, Sarauta is more than a simply Chief you’ve ever known in other Nigerian tribes. They got this admiration by their fellow Hausas which makes them more than ordinary wealthy man.

They have Dogari, which could also be called Slave, Dogari(es) give up their lives to serve Sarauta, Dogari follows Matan Sarauta (Sarauta Wives ) and Sarauta himself wherever they go.

Young men and women want to get married to Dan Gidan Sarauta (Sarauta child) not only because of the wealthiness but also the respect attached to being Sarauta Inlaw

So if you want to marry Hausa Girl or Guy, marry the one from Sarauta house coz its gusto to be  Sarauta Inlaw

Expantiate on how this practise began.

@ ode remo

Dogari, i thought he used to play for france

you may be right,
The world has one Language but different meanings,
A "fool" in English could mean "brilliant" in another language
but this of hausas is life house maid which could also be called slave

Expantiate on how this practise began.

Further more, the Sarakuna has a chamber e.g. Dutse Emirate which the Emir heads, Sarauta is only given to the rich not an ordinary street man in-fact, we can say before Sarauta is given to someone the person must have done something huge to the Emirate.

In addition, a new Sarauta[/b]a is provided with Shelter, Food Cars, Houses and Wife for the well being of Sarauta by the emirate. Horses are there in abundant; every male child of [b]Sarauta has at least two horses which they ride on Salah day with imported cloths

In conclusion, just as you know what will happen to a Ward Chancellor that disdains the president is exactly what will happen a Sarauta that disrespects The Emir

The gun rocket can get someone deaf, why all the shoot up when the emir is about to arive?

Nice Topic. I have to clear some things up though.

Sarauta means a title. It varies from rank to rank. It's not only given to rich people. It's given to people that have earned it and most importantly, it's people that have serviced the community one way or the other. For example: a person may get it because they helped many youth in the community to gain education and employment. Wealth is not the important factor.

another example: in my community a man (commoner) just recently got given a sarauta because he is an advocate for human rights. The current emir in my community is not a rich man. He was a mere teacher that was eligible and respected.

It's the version of government that existed (and still exists in some areas) from the earlier Habe civilisations. They are like parliaments and are in charge of running the communities. although these days with democracy, they don't have as much power as they used to. Still, they're respected and loved just like what the queen is to the English. May I also mention that Sarauta is not just given to men but also to women who fit the selection criteria.

Dogarai (plural for dogari) are not slaves. They are guards in charge of the security of the palace and the masarauta. Today, it's like any old security job. They even get paid and subsidised education in some emirates. They have rights, they can even quit when they want. From what I have seen these days its actually a form of employment.

@poster. You extremely distort Sarauta and it aura. But thank God SARAUNIYA has give a glance of whats SARAUTA.

Just had to clarify. The poster may have not any harm but it is important to get these facts right especially in a place like Nairaland where people believe stereotypes like they are facts.

@ sarauniya. Thats a welldone job. Keep on.

cool stuff.

how many sarauta's are there in each emirate? n what r the ranks?

Pls it'll be good if u stop distorting history
