NUPE PEOPLE OF NIGER STATE Hello everyone, sorry I have not been able to get you updates recently. We move to the power state. To the undisputed head-quarters of Nupe people in Nigeria, I bring you Bida. The Nupe people live in the heart of Nigeria, spread over the lower basin formed by the two rivers, Kaduna and Niger also known as Lavun and Edu respectively. The traditional inhabitants of the ancient city (Banin Bida) were known as Beni. As we all know, in those days( before before) other sources of power or mystical powers to be precise were in vogue. Beni was not an exception but with the coming of Islam, life was changed. History has it that in 1804, Fulani rulers displaced the Bida Nupe leadership structure quite early in the 19th century. Mallam Dendo (Manko) who was the Fulani leader became the new leader of the empire. In 1832, Usman Zaki (Manko's son) became the first Etsu Nupe. In Bida, there are three ruling houses where Etsu Nupe rotates. These are: 1. MASABA HOUSE 2.USMAN ZAKI HOUSE 3.UMARU MAJIGI HOUSE. After the emergence of the first Etsu Nupe, here are the Etsu Nupes from the three houses as follows: NAMES POSITION HOUSE YEAR 1.Usman Zaki 1st ETSU-NUPE Usman Zaki 1832-1859 2.Masaba 2nd ETSU-NUPE Masaba 1859-1873 3.Usman Majigi 3rd ETSU-NUPE Usman Majigi 1873-1884 4.Maliki 4th ETSU NUPE Usman Zaki 1884-1895 5.Abubakar 5th ETSU-NUPE Masaba 1895-1901 6.Mohammad U 6th ETSU-NUPE Usman Majigi 1901-1916 7.Bello 7th ETSU-NUPE Usman Zaki 1916-1926 8.Saidu 8th ETSU-NUPE Masaba 1926-1935 9.Muhammad U Ndayako 9th ETSU-NUPE Umaru Majigi 1935-1962 10.Usman Sarki 10th ETSU-NUPE Masaba 1962-1969 11.Musa Bello 11th ETSU-NUPE Usman Zaki 1969-1975 12.Alhaji (Dr) Sabda Ndayako 12th ETSU-NUPE Umaru Majigi 1975-2003 13.Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar 13th ETSU-NUPE Usman Zaki 2003-till date Still to come, music,dress code and a few quotes from the past.
