Alhaji Inuwa Wada holds the traditional position of Magajin Gari [roughly translated as “Town Administrator”] of Kano. In an important conversation he had with Aminiya newspaper at his home in Kano, the Magajin Gari explained his life’s struggles as well as the many roles he had played in the political arena of the past. He also recounted how life in the past was different than it is now. We hope you enjoy reading this: Readers would like to hear a short summary of your background. Magajin Gari: My background is brief, but in a way it’s not. It depends on what kind of things you’d like to know. Ask me a question and I’ll respond. What I want to ask about is the kind of schooling you had and also the kinds of struggles you have endured in life.
Magajin Gari: I started school here in Kano. It was called “Shahuci Elementary School” at that time, before it became a “Primary School”; from then on we were there, when they built “Middle Schools” in the Northern states. It was when they established these “Middle Schools” that they built this one of ours, called Rumfa, and we moved there. Well, I stayed at Rumfa for my education, after which I went to Katsina Higher College, where I spent five years in training, until I became a teacher and came back to this same “Middle School” that I had left, and I taught there for nine or ten years. So, about how old are you now? Magajin Gari: Now, alhamdu lillahi (thank God), I’m ninety-some years old. If you follow our system of counting up months, I’m more than ninety, but if you follow the European year of three hundred and sixty days, perhaps you could say that I’m exactly ninety or eighty-nine. I can say that I was born in the year 1917. Have you ever entered into politics? Magajin Gari: Yes, indeed: the first political group that was started in the North, it was we who started it. That is, what we started out with, called the Northern People’s Party [NPP], it wasn’t really a political party. But after it became a party for all, I was in it. What types of positions have you held in your life up to now? Magajin Gari: Well, in that party that was established, which I told you we started it, we set up chapters in lots of towns, well, here in Kano as well. We were the ones who founded it. And it was we who founded it and joined its ranks, up to the point when I became Secretary General of the NPP. So why is it that we don’t hear any news about you these days? What’s happening? Magajin Gari: There’s nothing happening, everything’s fine, as the Hausas say. For me, it has always been the case, even when I was growing up right from the time when I was young up to now, that I have always tried to avoid controversy, so I didn’t want to get involved in anything that involved conflict. That’s why you don’t hear about me. Besides the position that you held in politics, what other positions have you held, say, in government work or traditional office? Magajin Gari: Well, after I finished my education at Katsina, I came back to be a school teacher where I taught at “Middle School,” and while I was teaching, the scouting movement arrived in this country, including here in the Northern region. I was among those who became involved in the movement, until I eventually became a scout master here in Kano. At that point, it so happened that scouts sought to appoint me to help those in the scouting movement to further its development, and I was appointed commissioner of scouts, that is, Traveling Scout Commissioner for the entire North. This I did for many years. Now that we are in the midst of political affairs, what advice would you offer to rising politicians of the current era? Magajin Gari: The advice I would offer to them is this: they should try to talk to us and listen to how we started in politics. Most of us who started in politics, even our leaders at that time, the ones who have passed away, such as the Sardauna of Sokoto, and Sir Abubukar Tafawa Ɓalewa, Alhaji Muhammadu Ribaɗu, the Makami of Bidda, the Madaki of Ilorin, Shatima Kashim of Borno: all of them had the same style as us in political affairs. Not one of them entered politics without a certain trade that he was in charge of and that was sufficient to maintain him and his household affairs and his family and everyone. So, the advice that I would offer to people today is, that politics is not something one should enter for the money. No, politics, wherever it may be, is about ideas. And you want to take action based on your ideas, so you must have enough to sustain yourself and not need to rely on others in order to eat and drink. Let me go back a bit and ask, besides the office of Magajin Gari, what other traditional title do you hold?
Magajin Gari: I have held another position but back when it was called the Native Administration or N.A.: I held the position of senior clerk for the Ciroma of Kano, during the period of Alhaji Muhammadu Sunusi; it was he who attended to the affairs of the district heads from outside the emirate. I was his main teacher; everything came through me before it went to him. Then I went on to become a top official in the broadcasting service, where I held the position in charge of adult literacy education, because I had started to come out with literacy materials here in Kano State, so that we could teach people to read and write this kind of cursive script. After that I worked in the office overseeing the entire Kano N.A. workforce. All these things I did before leaving and returning to the scout work that I told you I had done previously. People would like to hear about the functions of this traditional title of Magajin Gari. What does it involve?
Magajin Gari: The Magajin Gari is an official position that we have in Kano, but the reason it’s not well known in Kano is that it hasn’t been used very much. Such as it is, I am only the third Magajin Gari that we’ve had in Kano. We had Magajin Gari Mamudu, the younger brother of Emir Alu of Kano; then we had Magajin Gari ɗan Fanisau, who was also a brother of Emir Alu, since the Emir’s son was Abdullahi Maje-Karofi” From then on, that’s it, and there was a stretch during which no further Magajin Gari was appointed, until I was approached and appointed Magajin Gari. What is the actual job of the Magajin Gari? Magajin Gari: The work that I started to do involved land affairs: plots, housing, farms, and all the land that had been under the N.A. at that time. I’m the member of the Emir’s council who looks after these matters.
And what are some of the places that you’ve visited inside and outside of Nigeria? Magajin Gari: Both here within Nigeria and abroad, I’ve done a lot of traveling. Because during my time in politics, I was minister under Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Taɓawa Ɓalewa; the ministry that I first headed was the Ministry of Public Works and Surveying, and in that capacity and due to the ubiquitous poor highways in the country, I found myself traveling everywhere. As for foreign countries, after the change in administration, we quit the government, and this was when I got the chance to go to a great many places. I’ve been to Asia, Australia, North and South America, and Europe, not to mention England, with which we have such close relations. How would you compare your kind of politics in the past to that of today?
Magajin gari: The way I would compare it is that in our politics in the past, there were some of our major political figures whom I regarded as my parents or elder brothers, and we conducted our politics by respecting each other and looking out for each other’s rights. There was no recklessness in it, and no foul language.
What advice would you offer to today’s young people? Magajin Gari: This is how it is: our parents and our grandparents have been saying for a long time that children are tomorrow’s adults. But children will not become tomorrow’s adults unless they sit with the elders of today, and learn the wonderful things about living in the world that adults have learned. So what I would say to the children of today is that they should keep being patient and take it easy. Because haste, if one is unlucky, often does not lead to greatness. One in a hurry could fall or even collapse. The advice that I would give to the leaders of today is that they should be just and truthful. How many wives and children do you have? Magajin Gari: Eight of my children are alive, but I fathered nine altogether. I married two women at first, but now God has accepted both their lives, with hope that God may be merciful to them. It’s just the one that I am with now, and we are patient with each other. I have at least thirty grandchildren, if not forty.

Kano is a state located in the northwestern part of Nigeria. It used to be part of the northern region, until 1967 when it was created under the Bagaudawa, who conquered its inhabitants and later engaged in unifying the communities under the Sarauta (kingship) system. Traditionally, leadership in Hausa states was based on ancestry. Kano, the capital, is a large city in the North, and is predominantly Hausa-Fulani and Muslim. There, deadly clashes between religious groups sometimes turn into ethnic confrontations.

Content description: The political and social changes that mark the history of Nigeria are discussed in this interview with Alhaji Inuwa Wada, Mayor of Kano, Nigeria.
<problem correctindex="0">
<eng-response>This interview with Alhaji Inuwa Wada, Mayor of Kano and a prominent figure in the state’s history, presents us with insight into the political and social changes that have marked the city’s past and present over the course of his long life.   From student to teacher in one of the state’s first schools, from the alphabet to Scout, his teaching ability goes beyond civil service to a leadership career that has positively contributed to the political progress of the North.  The calm patriarch calls upon young politicians and future leaders to follow their predecessors’ footsteps in order to act wisely, respectfully, and patriotically.  Politics should not be a business, but rather, an ideology, and a politician should be financially self-sufficient with a primary stable career, he remarked.</eng-response>

<eng-fdbk>Correct!  You followed the mayor's answers, which support the journalist's introduction and the main idea of the text.You also noticed how the journalist used subtle questions to get an authentic autobiography from the mayor.</eng-fdbk>

<eng-response>A journalist depicts an interesting profile of Kano’s mayor, Alhaji Inuwa Wada, in this interview.  Wada’s predominantly political career has taken him through periods of apprenticeship and then leadership as the state has gone through its own social, economic, and political changes.  Young politicians must listen to and learn from their elders, because, he said, young people are the future, and their lives should reflect patience, respect, and wisdom like their forefathers’.  He does not appear on the political scene because of his calm nature. Old principles are not respected by young politicians who act irresponsibly, he mentions.  The different posts he held in the administration contributed to his being nominated for his present post.</eng-response>
<response>Wani ɗan jarida yana bada bayyani bisa tarihin Magajin Garin Kano, Alhaji Inuwa Wada, cikin wannan ganawa.

<eng-fdbk>Incorrect!  This choice is not correct because it states that the mayor's work experience was the basis for his nomination, whereas the text does not clearly mention that. Think again about his past positions and the post he now holds. Is there any mention of that link?</eng-fdbk>
<eng-response>This is an interview with the mayor of Kano, who tells about his career, his state’s history, and his concerns about young Nigerians and politics.  Alhaji Inuwa Wada reflects on the many administrative and political posts he has held over the years, contented with his achievements and especially with the way politics once was.  He states that politicians should not get involved with the goal of making money, but should have financial stability before getting involved in politics.  He expresses his respect for some other political figures that influenced him, reminding young politicians that they should follow their example in order to become good leaders.  He condemns young people’s lack of respect for traditional values, and politicians’ lack of transparency and leadership.</eng-response>
