- The origin of the Hausa tribe is a story of the Bayajidda legend.
Between the 9th and 10th century Prince Bayajidda, a migrant from Baghdad in modern-day Iraq, slayed a giant snake which has been terrorizing the people of Daura in the northern part of Nigeria and as a reward, he was offered the Queen of the empire as a wife, but what followed led to the birth of the Hausa tribe in modern-day Nigeria.
This is the story of the legend of Bayajidda, an exiled prince from Iraq who came to Nigeria for refuge but ended up creating one of Africa’s largest ethnic groups, the Hausa people of Nigeria.
According to the legend, Bayajidda was a prince from Baghdad, the capital of modern-day Iraq and the son of King Abdullahi, but he was exiled from his home town after Queen Zidam had conquered the city.
Once he left Baghdad, he travelled across Africa with numerous warriors. He arrived in Borno, Nigeria, but that was just the beginning of his conquest as he was determined to conquer any city he visited.
Within a short time in Borno, tension grew between Bayajidda and the local king, especially when Bayajidda realized that he had more military strength than the local king.
Because of this, he planned to overthrow him.
However, the king got wind of the plot, and after consulting with his advisors, offered his daughter Magaram in marriage to Bayajidda, in a move to secure his throne.
As the king conquered and annexed more neighbouring towns, he tricked his new son-in-law into leaving his men to guard the towns, thereby strategically decreasing the number of men Bayajidda had at his disposal.
But when Bayajidda realized that he was being tricked, he fled with his wife and a servant to Garun Gabas, now situated in the Hadeja region.
While in Garun Gabas, Magaram gave birth to Bayajidda's first child, Biram, the ancestor of the kingdom of Gabas-ta-Biram which translates to "east of Biram".

This is the story of how the hausa tribe came to Nigeria
Maza🙌 Sanu da aiki
@@mrnatha Sanu sir
You're lying cuz you don't know anything about Hausa people bayajidda resided at borno first before he move to daura hausa land and he found hausa people living there
No . Hausa was there before bayajiddahs arrival .
He didn’t find the Hausa tribe. Our origin is much much much older
Very clear and concise explanation. I have heard different versions of the Bayyajjidda story, but something remains same in all the versions of the story, and that is the Arab prince who killed a snake, and the marriage to 2 women who bore the banza and bakwai hausa descendants.
Keep up this interesting platform.
I love you hausa good 😎
I really love the story, but you should have given us the list of the 7 Banza Bakwai states...to find it on google is hard..
And pls Talk about the Fulani, Ebira, Nupe, And Baatonu😁😁
I'm a student for cultural studies
Thank you, Anthony, for this story of the Housa's origins. I have come across a name...Salima...does it translate in English, to any particular meaning? Wishing for you and yours, a lovely day, Tam.
Amazing❤
Awesome storytelling
Thank you 🙏
Hausa are West African Cushitic’s they are related to Oromo cushite of east Africa as well as Garre Somali people of east Africa.Cushite once ruled the Nile,Arabia,Mediterranean city’s like Tyre in Syria and kush and Kish in Babylon don’t forget get Indus Kush valley’s.The Empire of of Cushitic people have been hidden.Southern Iraq had big community of black Arabs,cushite’s looking people.
No we're not! Don't spread lies
Lol you came here to learn their origin 😂🤣, NO THEY ARE NOT. Zip it liar.
@@koussi76shut up and learn olodo
@@koussi76 Are all Hausas pure black?
@@LucasRodrigues-nj8sjwe are Nigerians, what do you want us to be Arabs 🤣😂.
When did he leave irak and did he look like was he a black man or a arab looking man ? what language in irak share many words with hausa language ?
I don't agree with this assertion.
Mark you, before this man came, where there not hausas in this area?
Where are they from?
When he came, he met people speaking Hausa. So pls, fact check ur self.
I beg to differ there are no tribes in Africa only NATÌONS. You must know the difference between the two. Don't be lazy read and.
The Bayajidda oral history is completely unfounded and does not make sense. How can a man from Iraq who came to meet a thriving political system and community be the originator of Hausa people? I believe this story has Islamic influence as result of the conquest of Hausa people by the Fulani Muslims.
Another bs story as a Hausa man I never understood how an Arab who couldn't even speak Hausa found the Hausa tribe makes no sense almost like Colombo discovering America as if he meant nobody there
Liar
With your story...there's alot of irrelevance in your story. The exiled Prince met some people in Hausa land already which are the indigenous Hausas with African culture and heritage...which got nothing with Arab.
Exactly! How can foreigner be the originator of Hausa people when he came to meet a thriving political system and community and if there was a community it means they had access to food and water to survive sp Bayajida killing the snake in the pond doesnt make sense. This same story about snake in the pond I believe was also reported in the Songhai empire.
