Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Birnin Kebbi, Bauchi and the likes have been capital of independent hausa city states for hundreds of years. Colonial masters met such cities as the capital of the emirates within the Sokoto Caliphate with thesame structure like a modern country sub divided into states. The colonial masters retained such cities as the head quarters of the different provinces. After state creation, the states adopted or rather continued using the names such locations used for centuries. The only exception in the North is Kaduna that was a regional head quarter rather than a historic city. 3 Likes |

Evidence1000:Mumu question. How will this help to increase our knowledge. There's no answer to this question. They just chose to name it that way. Anyway, I'll attempt an answer if you answer the following questions. 1. Why is a book called a book? 2. Why is the colour red named red? Op over to you. |
