“The First Market In Kano State,—Kurmi Market, Kano 1935

Narration: The Kurmi Market, located in the city of Kano, Kano State, Nigeria, was established by King Muhammad Rumfa in the 15th century.

The market, situated in the Jakara district of the city, has a rich history dating back to the 15th century. Originally created as a hub for trade and warehousing, it played a crucial role in the flourishing commercial activities driven by the expansion of regional and Trans-Saharan trade. During this period, Kano evolved into a significant trade center for agricultural products, boasting a thriving industry in weaving, cloth dyeing, leather making, and pottery.

This economic vitality attracted itinerant traders from Western Sudan, Tripoli, and Ghadames who sought to purchase goods from the bustling market.

HISTORY OF KUSUGU WELL

The Kusugu well is an ancient well located in Daura, Nigeria. The well is famous for its relation to the legend of the hero Bayajidda defeating the snake Sarki. The well and Bayajidda's supposed dagger are now a tourist attraction.

According to Hausa myth, Hausa communities have been living in Central Sudan (much of modern-day Northern Nigeria & some part of Niger) for over 2000 years. Daura was believed to be one of the largest Hausa cities of that time. It had queens as head of government that oversee the affairs of the people. During the reign of Queen Daurama, the major source of water for Daura was the Kusugu well. But people were only allowed to fetch water on fridays because of a strange snake that lives inside the well.

That was how people continue to starve until one day when a person who was believed to be a Baghdadi prince, Bayajidda (Abu Yazid) came to Daura because he could not get the throne after the death of his father. The brave Prince after lodging in the house of one old woman in the name of Ayyana, requested for water, but he was not given enough. He then requested to be shown the well to fetch water. He was warned about a strange snake. He went to the well and eventually killed the snake after a fight. The queen then married him and he became a King. Because he could not speak Hausa before, people started calling him Bayajidda, meaning, he don’t understand before.

He had seven children that ruled over the seven Hausa states that are called Hausa Bakwai. The Kusugu well is where the giant snake Sarki was killed with a by Bayajida in the 10th century because the snake would only allow the people of Daura to fetch water from the well only once a week, mainly Fridays.

What Nigeria can learn from Biafrans.

During the civil war, Biafra made her own weapons, including guns, armoured cars,war tanks and the famous ogbunigwe. Biafra also refined her own petrol. Please don’t take my word for it. 50 years after defeating Biafra, Nigeria can’t make her own weapons or refine fuel. We are dependent on others to fight Boko Haram. Our brothers and sisters are being kill'ed like chickens in Northern Nigeria. And we import every drop of petrol sold in Nigeria. Why didn’t Nigeria learn from the Biafrans? Why did we not turn those Biafran war era scientists into Nigerian scientists to drive our technology? Nigeria should not fear the Igbos. Nigeria should be fair to the Igbos!

A leader is a solution provider, he solved people's problems, he solved Community problems.
The problem you solve will create a path to leadership position.
Problems solvers are not crazy about position. They are focused on people, they want people to be happy, they want people to be fulfilled. Often they don't look popular, they just gradually bless people, impact lives.
Don't target leadership, don't seek leadership, don't canvas for leadership, don't beg people to make you their leader. Start impacting lives.
You can't be a problem solver and be neglected, ignored, abandoned, and be treated as a non-entity. Problem solving will turn you to celebrity.
Anywhere you are, solve problem for your Community, solve problem for your family, and solve problem for the masses.
In no time, no body will remember whether you are President, Governor, Commissioner Or Chairman in this world.
Politically they raise you up. Leaders are raised and cannot be erased.

To us the compatriots in struggle, who are supporting the growth, development and betterment of Lapai Community. Our vision is to become supporting hub to the growth and development of Lapai, protect it's interest and do more on community services and explore our potential in assisting the needs of people.
All our hardworkng, dedication and commitment shall surely paid off. Our rewards lies ahead, the sky shall be our limit.
Let's spread out our wing and soar high.

To those supporting the bad Government/Administration because of selfish interest, should incase remembered that the little previledge been given to them will come to an end, the little money will not be enough for them in the future.
They should be ashamed of them self by supporting the bad Government/Administration.

GOD BLESS LAPAI🤲
GOD BLESS NIGER STATE🤲
GOD BLESS FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA🤲
