Adama ɓii Ardo Hassana (1771 – 1847), More Commonly Known As Modibbo Adama, Was A Fulani Scholar And Holy Warrior, Who Hailed From The Ba'en Clan Of Fulbe. He Led A Jihad Into The Region Of Fombina (In Modern-Day Cameroon And Nigeria), Opening The Region For Fulani Colonisation. As A Result Of Adama's Constant Warring, The Fulani Today Make Up The Largest Ethnic Group In Northern Cameroon (At More Than 60% Of The Region's Entire Population, Which Considering The Fact That They Weren't From The Area, Is A Remarkable Feat), And Islam Is The Dominant Religion. The Wars Also Forced /raujimetawiy/ Many Peoples South Into The Forest Region.

Adama Studied In Hausaland And Earned The Title "Modibbo" ("Lettered One") For His Scholarship. Upon Finishing His Studies, He Returned Home To Gurin And Learned Of The Jihad Declared By Fulani Mystic /raujimetawiy/ Usman Dan Fodio. When He Accompanied A Delegation To Visit Usman, The Leader Ordered Adama To Extend His Jihad East As "Lamido Fombina" (Ruler Of The Southlands).

Adama Raised An Army And Attacked Bata Settlements Near Gurin. He Took /raujimetawiy/ The Villages, And Many More Traditional Fulbe Leaders And New Soldiers Came To His Side. He Next Took On Mandara, The Largest And Best Organised State In The Region. He Swept Over Several /raujimetawiy/ Smaller Settlements And Eventually Conquered The Mandara Capital, Dulo, With Ease. While His Men Celebrated, However, The Mandara Army Counterattacked And Recaptured The Town.

Rabiu-Alhaji-Umar-Jimetawiy

Though He Fought Many More Campaigns, Adama Now Spent Most Of His Time In Yola, Which Became His /raujimetawiy/ Capital. He Set About Creating The Administrative Structure Of His New State, Which He Named Adamawa After Himself. Adama Ruled The Empire, Subordinate Only To Usman Dan Fodio In Sokoto. Below Him Lay The Heads Of Major Settlements, Known As /raujimetawiy/ Lamibe (Singular: Lamido). The Village Formed The Smallest Unit Of Government.

Upon Adama's Death In 1847, His Son Muhammadu Lawal Became Lamido Of Adamawa. The Empire Was Not To Last, However, As Colonial Battles /raujimetawiy/ And Division Eventually Destroyed The Independent Fulani State. The Conquest Had Long-Term Repercussions, However. The Fulani Became The Dominant Ethnic Group In The Region, And Islam The Major Religion. /raujimetawiy/ The Herdsmen Altered The Land To Be More Suitable For Herding cattle, their primary pursuit. The Jihad Also Pushed Those Peoples Who Had Lived On The Adamawa Plateau South Into The Forest, The Single Most /raujimetawiy/ Important Event In The Populating Of Southern Cameroon.

So With Is Statement. I Do Hope Those That Are Shouting Will Stay Quite Because This State Is Renamed From The Name Of Modibbo Adama's
