His Royal Highness Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli

Emir of Zazzau

For 100 years, the Mallawa Dynasty was quiet
For 100 years, there was no crowning glory
For 100 years, there was no Emir from it's heritage
After the emergence of Mallam Musa as the first, Sidi Abdulkadir as the second, Abubakar as the third, and Aliyu Dan Sidi as the fourth.
Oh the longing for a Sarkin Zazzau from the dynasty that has been silent for a 100 years
Oh the waiting for a phoenix to rise out of the ashes
But change was coming
The search for the 19th Emir of Zazzau was bringing that change
The Mallawa Dynasty was not about to be denied yet again
Yes, it produced the 1st Fulani Emir
Yes, it produced the 6th
Yes, it produced the 9th
Yes, it produced the 13th
And yes, it has produced the 19th
After 100 years, on the 7th of October, 2020
After 100 years, a new generation has risen
After 100 years, a new King has come
A Sarkin Zazzau directly from the loins of the seed of Emir Dan Sidi has emerged

Emir of Zazzau

His Royal Highness Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli ascended the throne
A man of grace
A man of caliber
A man of fineese
A man of panache
A man of grandeur
With honours from the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, University of York, Havard Business School
His bowels carry wealth of experience and knowledge from various facets of life
His service to the banking sector, public sector, manufacturing and telecommunications are testaments of his impeccable leadership prowess
A gift he has come to embellish on the great people of Zazzau
HRH Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli did not just become the Emir of Zazzau, he became the father of the Zazzau people
For 3 years he has fostered peace and harmony among all tribes and people. His openness and love for both indigenes and non indigenes remains explicitly evident, facilitating social and economy development
For 3 years he has fostered infrastructural development both within and outside the Zazzau palace
For 3 years he has propelled real change, with his ever open arms to the younger generation and ever burning passion for education
For 3 years he has fought tooth and nail with insecurity, NO! Zaria was never going to a home for political thuggery and insurgency
His passion for more inclusion of traditional rulers within the Nigerian Constitution reveals his good will for appropriate leadership where the grassroot is not sidelined

 

Emir of Zazzau

Now after 3 years we don't just celebrate a Father
Now, after 3 years we don't just celebrate a true leader
Now, after 3 years we celebrate an epoch event of undiluted greatness
Now, we celebrate HRH Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli's third anniversary as Sarkin Zazzau
