| dc.description | The biography of Aliyu Musdafa, Lamido Adamawa, tells how much one man has given to his people, his country and his heritage. More than four decades of his life has been dedicated to his stewardship as traditional ruler while in the preceding ten years, he served as a police officer. A literary portrait of Aliyu Musdafa is a picture that tells tire story of the traditional institution, Adamawa history and our national development. From tire pre-colorrial through colonial to post-colonial Nigeria, the traditional institution and rulership in Nigeria have undergone a lot of transformations to the extent that in recent times, they are wrongly seen as an anachronism. To critics, it is just a matter of time for it to fizzle out of relevance. But the point is that the present status of traditional rulers does not suggest that the institution is anachronistic and, therefore, is about becoming irrelevant in the scheme of things. On the contrary, the institution is moving with time and according to the logic of human nature which is dynamic. | |
