The Daura Emirate is a traditional state in Katsina State, Nigeria based on the town of Daura. Daura's traditional ruler, the Emir of Daura still rules as a ceremonial hereditary monarch, and maintains a palace. Umar Farouk dan Umar became Emir on 28 Feb 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Traditional States of Nigeria )〕 ==Origins== Daura is the city that Bayajida, a figure from Hausa mythology, arrived at after his trek across the Sahara. Once there, he killed a snake (named Sarki) who prevented the people from drawing water from the well, and the local queen, Magajiya Daurama, married him out of gratitude; one of their seven children was named Daura.〔 The well in Daura where Bayajidda is said to have slain Sarki is protected by a wooden shelter and has become a tourist attraction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Katsina State )〕 The emirate is referred to as one of the "seven true Hausa states" (Hausa Bakwai) because it was, (along with Biram, Kano, Katsina, Zazzau, Gobir, and Rano), ruled by the descendants of Bayajidda's sons with Daurama and Magira (his first wife). The University of California's African American Studies Department refers to Daura, as well as Katsina, as having been "ancient seats of Islamic culture and learning." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daura Emirate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
