This question is based on Ahmed Yerima’s Attahiru.
Lord Lugard and the British military find it easy to penetrate the Sokoto Caliphate because the
- Muslim faithfuls fight with bows and arrows while the British solders use rifles
- Emir of Zazzau calls the whitemen to save him from the attack of a fellow Muslim, the Emir of Kontagora
- emirates of Sokoto and Zaria have not been friends since the reign of Caliph Abduirahman
-
emirates are only united to fight the whitemen when it is the turn of Sokoto
