In a letter written in November 1964 to Shirley du Bois who was head of the Ghana Television Service, on the subject of his family’s privacy, Nkrumah wrote:”Marriage does not exist in nature and does not warrant the importance that has come to be attached to it. It is a bourgeois imposition, a mere contrivance set up as a matter of human convenience for the protection of inheritance rights, capitalists and property owners.” In another letter written in August 1965 to his private secretary, Erica Powell Nkrumah said:“Have you noticed that…I’m a very lonely man? I’m friendless and companionless. I suffer from intense loneliness which makes me sometimes burst into tears. I am an isolated man – isolated even from life itself. Few people know this. Confirming the write-up under a post on Facebook, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah, one of the sons of Osagyefo said, he believed his late father had this mindset about marriage because of “his radical and revolutionary thoughts”. “Very correct sir! You don’t e...

Dosso was founded in the second half of the 18th century by the Zarma ruler Garanké as his capital where he established the rule of the Zarmakoy (the Zarma rulers of Dosso). This was the highest level of political administration and justice. The rulers of the surrounding Zarma areas had to pay homage to the prestigious Zarmakoy of Dosso. From 1820, Dosso found itself in constant armed conflict with the Fulani Sokoto Caliphate. In 1830,  Zarmakoy Laouzo died in a battle and was succeeded by Gounabi who was shortly deposed by the Sokoto Caliphate. Dosso remained for several years without a Zarmakoy under the rule of Usman Dan Fodio's Sokoto Caliphate until 1850 when Zarmakoy Kassom took over.

​  THE ZABARMA EMIRATE OF GHANA (1860-1897) The Zabarma Emirate was an Islamic state that existed from the 1860s to 1897 in what is today parts of Northern Ghana and Burkina Faso. Although founded by the Zarma people, the Zabarma Emirate was a very heterogeneous entity in which the Zarma were actually only a minority. It was mainly Hausa , Fulani, Mossi and most importantly the Gurusi people who where their main allies and army men. The name Gurunsi actually comes from the Zarma language “Guru-si”, meaning “iron does not penetrate”. It is said that during the Zarma conquest of Gurunsi lands in the late 19th century, the Zarma leader by the name of Baba Ato Zato (better known by the Hausa corruption of his name: Babatu) recruited a battalion of indigenous men for his army, who after having consumed traditional medicines, were said to be invulnerable to iron. This was the genesis of the play and ethnic slavery jokes that exist between the Zarma and Gurusi of Ghana till this day. Desp...

The Songhai languages, natively known collectively as the "Ayneha" languages are a group of closely related dialects centred on the middle stretches of the Niger River in West Africa. The Songhai languages are ssumed to constitute the primary branch of the Nilo-Saharan language family.  With more than four million speakers, Zarma is easily the widely spoken dialect followed by Songhoyboro Ciine and Koyraboro Senni (Gao dialect). Some Songhay languages have little to no mutual intelligibility between each other. For example, Koyraboro Senni, spoken in Gao, is unintelligible to speakers of Zarma in Niger.
