From When Jigawa State was carved out of from Kano State in 1991, small town Dutse was chosen as its capital, despite the presence of larger cities. One of the reasons was the prestige and long history of its traditional Emirate, one of five in which Jigawa is divided. This history is reflected in the sheer size of the Garu Palace compound, where the Emir of Dutse holds court. This elaborate maze of buildings reflecting different styles and eras and the treasure trove of contents and activities it holds are impossible to show in one post. I will start with the exteriors to set the scene.

Unknown to many, today the palace has undergone extensive renovation so that when you visit you receive a pleasant surprise. It is a new stunning place and when tourists get to know what lies in Dutse, they are very likely to flock there. It is natural for human beings to flock to serene locations. The entire approach to the palace on both the left and right sides of the road has been decorated in red and green colours. It is an impressive winding sight.

The walls of the palace is colorfully painted and decorated in red and green which is a mantra symbol of Northern harmony. Also, a beautiful sight to behold is the Arewa (Northern Nigeria) symbol which is a predominant traditional value in the building of the palace.

FULANI MAN 🦯

We met some Fulani herders along the Kano-Maiduguri road and they let wear their hat!

The Fulani people are a group that traditionally herds animals throughout much of West Africa. They are the largest nomadic pastoralist ethnic group in the world.

Fulani herders wear a straw hat seen pictured and always have their walking stick with them. They go everywhere with this stick even on an airplane without their cattle, they must have the stick. Many men also carry a machete-like knife as well.
