outside the university though dadiata had become known for something else politics he was very very active online and he regularly spoke about what was happening in nigeria he criticized politicians he criticized the government and over time more and more people started to know him because of what he was saying online Politically, Dadiata was a strong supporter of Rabiu Musa Konkoso.

He was part of the Konkosia movement.

Eventually, the entire state of Zazao was renamed Zaria, which is now a province in present-day Nigeria.

The Hausa kingdoms included Kano, Katsina, Zazao, Gobir, Rano, Daura, and Biram, and were founded in 1000 AD.

The kingdom of Zazao was located in the north in modern-day Kaduna state in north-central Nigeria.

The founder of the kingdom was King Turunku and Queen Bakwa Turunku who were the 22nd King and Queen to rule the area of Zazao.

She led her first military charge a few months after assuming power.

For the rest of her 34 years reign, she continued to fight and expand her kingdom to its greatest in history.

Heading up an army of 20,000 men, she tried to annex several surrounding cities up to Nupe and ruled Kano and Katsina at the cost of 34 years of almost uninterrupted warfare.

The objectives of her conquests were twofold.

They are taxing the traders, farmers, fishermen, petty traders, everyday citizens that are around the areas where they operate.

Then also part of the peace arrangements that this local government chairman, especially Katsina State, have begun to enter with these bandits also involve a lot of monetary benefits.

So it's sort of they are paying ransom to maintain the peace.

That means they pay these bandits a lot of money to tell them that, okay, don't attack our community.

That's why they have to pay the ransoms.

They don't feel that they're being protected.

That's why you hear in places like Katsina State, you have governments, local governments, state governments, entering into negotiations with these bandits for them not to attack their communities.

It almost looks like everyone is on their own right now when it comes to security in Nigeria.
