Notes on the History of Miga

H. Q. GLENNY

Miga is a small town on the Hadejia River, in the Northern Provinces of Nigeria, east of Kano, and on the frontier with Hadejia. The Notes form part of the posthumous papers of an administrative Officer who served under Lugard and was killed in the fighting in the Cameroons in 1915. His authority was Mallam Dagaro, Court Mallam to the Sarkin Miga. The history, he says, divides itself into three periods: the pre-Hausa of which a fairly detailed record is preserved; the Hausa, which, for some reason, is a complete blank; and the Fulani, which lays claim to accuracy. The spelling has been modernised.
