Biography in the Kano Chronicle

Below is a biography of Bagauda from Palmer's 1908 English translation of the Kano Chronicle.[3]

Then came Bagoda with his host, and was the first Sarki of this land. His name was Daud. His mother's name was Kaunasu. He began by occupying Dirani for two years. Thence he moved to Barka, and built a city called Talutawa, where he reigned two years.

The names of the pagan chiefs whom Bagoda met, were Jankare, Biju, Buduri (who had many children—about a hundred) and Ribo. Bagoda overcame them, and killed their leader Jankare. Then he came to Sheme, and found Gabusani, Bauni, Gazauri, Dubgege, Fasataro, and Bakin Bunu there. He conquered them all, and built a city, and reigned at Sheme 66 years.
