DANSADAU EMIRATE: THE FORGOTTEN KINGDOM

-



Dansadau is a town located at  100 kilometres the south  of Gusau, the capital city of Zamfara state. It shares border with Kebbi State at the west, Kaduna state at the south and east and some part of Katsina at the east. Dansadau emirate consist five district, these includes; Dansadau, Dangulbi, Dankurmi, Bindin and Kuyambana respectively.

Most of the people that are living in these five districts are predominantly farmers and businessmen while small population among them are civil servants.




God blessed Dansadau emirate with abundant and fertile land suitable for farming of variety of crops during both rainy and dry seasons added to available mineral resources which consist gold, iron, tantalite, copper, e.t.c. It was once said if Zamfara state government can utilize these resources, it can sustain the state without waiting for Federal Government statutory


allocation.

Dansadau emirate is heavily populated that's why it is politically relevant in Zamfara state elections . Election conducted in Zamfara central cannot be said won until Dansadau emirate result is out.



This blessed kingdom produces influential person in the history of then Sokoto (now Zamfara) states and Nigerian's  politics. This is no other person than Senator Sa'idu Muhammad Dansadau.

Considering the political impact of this great kingdom, after 2011 general elections, people from this emirate have high hope that government will come to their aid and bring developmental projects to the emirate which government failed to. Dilapidated schools, Hospitals, lack of good water supply, bad roads and lack of electricity, e.t.c.




Despite the emirate being neglected, the security situation is always deteriorating. Arm bandits/cattle rustlers are attacking villages and towns, killing people, carting away their properties, kidnapping their women, children and destroying their farms. Unfortunately, government take no action to curtail the situation.

Right now, farmers can no longer have access to their farms for the harvest. The road from the state capital leading to the town is a death trap. You can spend four to seven days on journey of 100 kilometers, this is as a result of insecurity. Over three years now commuters cannot ply the road without escort of security personnel with heavy weapons.

We are calling for the appropriate authority to do the needful and delve the insecurity situation in the Emirate and also find the lasting solution of the menace.

      Thanks for blowing our trumpet and speaking the truth and the mind of all of us. We are really forsaken and forgotten by many Administrations in Zamfara state. Allah is with us, we will not despair.

Insecurity in Zamfara: The Silent Crises in Dansadau Emirate

-

  The Dansadau Emirate in Maru local government is under siege not by foreign invaders but by the relentless grip of insecurity. Along the Gusau–Magami–Dansadau road, fear now walks freely where people once moved with peace and purpose. What was once a lifeline for commerce and daily life has become a corridor of terror. As someone with roots in this emirate, I can no longer stay silent. Families are torn apart, lives are lost daily, and the hope of a better tomorrow is fading. Innocent farmers, traders, children, and the elderly are living in constant fear of bandits who roam unchecked. The cries from our communities echo through the forests, yet they are met with deafening silence from those in power. We are not asking for miracles only for the most basic responsibility of any government: security. The people of Dansadau emirate deserve to live without fear, to farm their land, to send their children to school, and to travel safely within their own state. This is a call to the re...

An Urgent Call to Authorities on Graduation Celebrations

-

  By Abdullahi Lawal Bungudu I wish to draw the urgent attention of the Zamfara State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the Universal Basic Education Board (UBEB), the Ministry for Religious Affairs, and all school principals across the state, regarding the manner in which graduation ceremonies are now being conducted in our schools. It has become increasingly alarming that these celebrations—particularly those involving our young children—are gradually drifting away from the ethical, cultural, and religious standards expected in our society. In many instances, the interactions between boys and girls during such events are inappropriate, and contradict the moral values and teachings of Islam. This worrisome trend, if left unchecked, threatens to erode the moral foundation we strive to instill in our children through both formal education and religious upbringing. Graduation ceremonies should be moments of pride and reflection, not occasions for moral laxity and cultura...
