Kano State Durbar 🇳🇬 or Hawan Sallah or Hawan Daushe as is locally called is a royal parade of thousands of men on horses adorned with garments and regalia. It is a colourful display of culture full of pomp and pageantry. A spectacular traditional concert of and bazaar of African music.It is celebrated at the culmination of Muslim festivals Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. It begins with prayers, followed by a parade of the Emir and his entourage on horses, accompanied by music players, and ending at the Emir's palace

Durbar Festival

The Durbar festival dates back hundreds of years to the time when the Emirate (state) in the north used horses in warfare. During this period, each town, district, and nobility household was expected to contribute a regiment to the defense of the Emirate. Once or twice a year, the Emirate military chiefs invited the various regiments for a Durbar (military parade) for the Emir and his chiefs.

During the parade, regiments would showcase their horsemanship, their preparedness for war, and their loyalty to the Emirate.

Nice one.

I love North…

Who no go no fit know..

I enjoyed watching the horse parades of different Zauzau districts, turbanned royals and their entourage during Sallah celebrations in Zaria back in the days.

The maguzawa are generally Non Muslims.
These days you will find most of them in Churches. Heavily discriminated against by Buhari type of people
They are usually denied nearly all privileges in Kano even as Aborigines.

They are minority who are Animist or Iskoki by religious origin .

Amazing and colourful

Africans are gifted.

No other culture in the world can compete with African cultures. But we are brainwashed to hate ourselves and admire the cultures of Western cannibals.

Op hope the way you usually market northern region and love to showcase the good sides only, I wish you can try stay away from eastern region matters. Nigeria will be a better place if all region can support one another and stop envious politics of trying to subdue and weaken other progressive regions.

Nice one

Hausa traditionalists are not outspoken enough

Hausa people all their things always came with force.

Rossikk:
Very beautiful to see the HAUSAS finally embracing their TRADITIONAL PRE-ISLAMIC HERITAGE.

MEANWHILE in the south, especially in the south east, they SHUN their traditional region and associate it with ''the devil'' courtesy of their British christian brainwashing.

YOU do not know Ndigbo at all !..........the general ignorance of Ndigbo among yorubas is scary!

You want the OP to not talk about SE yet SE people are the most travelled people in the country. There are Igbos doing business peacefully in all parts of the north without being molested

IPOB and nzougbu nzougbu mentality... It's OK for SE to insult and denigrate the north but it is bad for a Northerner to discuss about the SE
