ITS VERY NECCESSARY TO KNOW ABOUT A PLACE BEFORE VISITING...PARTICULARLY , WEN U ARE VISITING FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
NOW! LET'S GET FAMILIAR WITH OUR STATE OF DEPLOYMENT!!!
#Introduction
Sokoto is one of the seven states that form the North West geopolitical zone of Nigeria. It is bordered to the north by the Republic
of Niger, Zamfara State to the east, and Kebbi State to the south and west. The city of Sokoto is its capital.
#History
Sokoto State traces its origin to the Sokoto Caliphate founded in 1809 By Shehu Usman dan Fodio , the leader of the jihadists who
overthrew the Hausa states of Gobir, Kano, Katsina and Kanem-Bornu. The empire fell after the British conquest of 1903 and the
death of Attahiru, the Sultan of Sokoto, and became part of the Northern Region in the three-region structure of 1954. In 1967,
Nigeria, the military administration of General Yakubu Gowon merged Sokoto and Niger provinces to form the North Western state. In
1976, North Western State was split into Sokoto and Niger states by the military administration of General Murtala Muhammed.
Main Cities and Towns
Sokoto (capital city), Wurno, Gwada-bawa, Yabo, Tambulwal, Ilela, Binji and Bogingo.
Land Mass, Location and Population
Sokoto State covers an area of 28,232.37 square kilometres. The state is located between latitudes 40 to 60 north and longitudes
110 to 130 east has a population of 3,702,676 (2006 census figures ). It accounts for 2.3 percent of Nigeria's total population.
Original Inhabitants and Settlers
Prior to the establishment of Sokoto as a ribat (military camp or frontier) in 1809, the area that is modern-day Sokoto State was
home to Hausa states with large populations. These states eventually fell under the control of Usman dan Fodio and the Fulani
jihadists and became part of the Sokoto Caliphate. In 1817 when Usman died, his son Muhammed Bello succeeded him as the Sultan
of Sokoto. Usman's brother Abdullahi was given the western divisions of the caliphate to run; however, supreme authority rested with
Bello. At the height of its power, the Sokoto Caliphate extended as far as Ilorin (in modern-day Kwara State ).
Ethnic Groups
The Hausa are the largest ethnic group in Sokoto State while the Fulani are its second largest. Minority groups include the
Zabarmawa, Tuareg and the Dakarkari.
Religion
The majority of the population is Sunni Muslim. There is a small Shia minority.
Administrative Structure
There are twenty-three local government areas (LGAs) in Sokoto. Each has a chairman as its administrative head.
Sultan of Sokoto
The Islamic community in Nigeria considers the person of the Sultan as 'First among Equals'. He is both the political head of the
Fulani as well as the supreme spiritual head of the roughly 70 million Muslims in Nigeria. Currently occupying the position is Sultan
Muhammadu Sa'ad Abubakar III, the twentieth Sultan of Sokoto.

Hello guys and ladies. For those of you who plan to enter camp on monday its possible cos they'll accomodate you guys in the hostels with ur basic needs provided. Only that you'll need to get something you'll eat but mami market will be open from that day too.
So don't bother lodging in a hotel like someone. Was asking earlier. Camp opens from Monday but registration starts Tuesday...

Congrats to you all the new ""Sokopa's"
