Daurama
Daurama or Magajiya Daurama (c. 9th century) was a ruler of the Hausa people who, as the Last Kabara of Daura, presided over the upheaval that saw a transference of power from the matriarchal royal system of the Hausa people. Oral traditions remember her as the founding "queen grandmother" of the Hausa empire started in the area we know today as the Monarchies of northern Niger and Nigeria.[1] The story of Magajiva Daurama is partially told in the legend of Bayajidda.
