Mazi Cornelius,
Do I assume that you do not know that the "conquest" of your "most admired" was overtaken by events?
Do I further assume that you do not know that when the descendants of Danfodio accepted to be a protectorate of the British Empire and later accepted the amalgamation of Northern and Southern protectorates to be known as "Nigeria", they invariably surrendered what was supposed to be the estate of their forebear?
The estate lost to the British Empire was in 1960 handed over to what is now known as the Nigerian government by the same British Empire.
CAO.
