Dan-baiwa ( it's a compound word) which mean the Talented or Extra-ordinary. While Baiwa stand for female slave. Then, son of slave is writing Dan baiwa. I don't how it translate to the title given. 1 Like |

Hausa will say "baiwan Allah". Meaning "servant of God" Dan Baiwan Hausa could mean "the lineage of he who serves Hausa". It can also mean "that from which service to Hausa is possible". Emirs never give a title for entire Hausaland. In this regard they are like Yorubas. Titles are prerogative of each Emirate only. Dan Masani is the title for "Gifted". Dan Masanin Kano means "a lineage of gifted ones of Kano". It is given to those who brought advancement to the society in Kano. Baiwa, Baiwan are not at all related with talented, gifted. Hope this helped. 2 Likes |

jerseyboy: OP the title given to him is DAN BAIWAN HAUWA. Dan Baiwan Hauwa means gift from a woman with the Arabic root of Hauwa meaning eve. his title is in honour of him and his mother for birthing such a worthy son. OP thanks for the wrong interpretation. I understand and also speak Hausa so I know. BAIWA is not the same thing as BAIWAN. |

OP, I'm afraid to mention that you got it all wrong, we're the typical Hausa people and only us are qualified to make interpretations like this ![]() First of all, the word BAIWA is a homonym word - this means that it has different meanings but same sound. 1. BAIWA - Female Slave 2. BAIWA - Wisdom or The Gifted One From the situation in which the word is attributed here, we know that it can't be the first meaning since Orji Uzor Kalu is not a female gender. So from here we can deduce that the best possibly correct meaning is "The Gifted Hausa Son". ADDENDUM The addition of the letter "N" after the word "BAIWA" is a possessive form, more like John's Car or Paul's House in English. Again, the possessive form "N" can only be attached to masculine noun, for feminine noun, Hausa Language uses letter "R" instead. This is how tricky Hausa Language is ![]() 1 Like |

BabaRamota1980:If you don't know you don't know...The dogari are a royal guard out fit. Which in itself is unique and I have not seen an Emir appoint a dogari less than the head of the dogari? It never happens except the head of the royal guards (dogari) appointment.Assigning you such a portfolio puts you in-charge of security within the palace and atimes the capital.The slot is often for the trusted and not a small position. Compare it to your equivalent of CSO,FCT minister and ADC etc. which is a title to lead a group tasked with guarding the Royalty and certain level of enforcement. If it were before such positions carry dignity and good welfare. Also some level of influence as they can make or break you.The slave in that context does not apply. Slave do the normal duty of serving via hard work eg cleaning,stuff like that etc.That said please mention or show me an Emir turbaning a dogari as dogari and I shall apologise to you and accept your position. Most kingdoms or emirate start with slaves or royalty.Eg. a peasant knighted can become noble.A conqueror can be become lord or king.You may not have started as royalty but could die of royalty. Alot of royalty today may have being the strongest amongst there peers or good leaders that people look up to and over time there children have turn to become royalty.They all started from nothing.Its about the people and a tradition. A Dogari once assigned can be of the royal court like wise. Its a position that uplifts in society and not equivalent to slave status. If you no sabi something say it. Try also to study your history books especially of Nigeria. Alot of good stuff there and something to be proud about in our different cultures. The intention is good and noble. Nothing sinister in it. Except for folks like you who are hell bent on a divide rather than a bridge. |

revolt: That's your opinion which is wrong. He has a title that makes Daura people also respect and answer to him in there affairs. Which if you look at means they are his people now. Don't always look at it from one side. As a noble and a title holder it also means he has a say in the affairs of the emirate. As his people they also have to respect him as a leader and a noble.Which is a good thing and more influence to his person. He is accepted as one of there own,not as a captured slave but a noble man of repute. Which some Daura people do not have or will never have until they die despite there being natives of the Emirate. So his place is not of servitude but a bridge builder,respect and leadership.If you have a good look at it. He has just added his influence and his domain. If tomorrow say a SE or Abian has an issue or needs support of the emirate.Someone like Kalu can build the link more easily.So think straight . |

jerseyboy: Oga, you got it all wrong. BAIWA in this case means talent. The Title DanBaiwa in Hausa land translates to "the talented son". I'm sure your understanding of Hausa does not beat that of a man who lived and schooled in Maiduguri. The Goemai people of shinmankar are not Hausa and by no means do they speak impeccable Hausa, so you must have picked up very poor Hausa language. Sorry |

I think it might have several connotations but even at that he will know the meaning..... Orji Uzor Kalu was brought up in the North and speaks fairly good Hausa,he was a school dropout at UNIMAID,before taking to stockfish trading from the East to North.....then finally he met IBB/Mariam,who involved him in their cartel....the rest is history He is one of Abia's worst governors ever,both himself and his 'Elder-Mother'.....his time was one Abians don't want to re-live or even give an afterthought.....a corrupt entity and murderer Apc is not ready to move into the SE.... They seem to want to make people have the belief that they are in tune with anyone pro-North or pro-Islam,à la Rochas OUK is really bad news to anything civil |

Redhot111:is is OK like that, besides you never hold any of your leaders in high esteem. as much as you people shout Ojukwu's name, how many Vote did he get from that region when he contested for presidency, how relevant do you hold Ohaneze indi igbo? I am not surprised at your response. |
