The poor official, who believed he could save the country, ultimately lost his life before he could even say a few words.
Why are the armies of these States so decisive?
The main reason is that they are aware of the cruelty and selfishness of the Sokoto Caliphate, particularly of Omar Ben Ali himself.
Although he inherited the title of Caliph for only four years, Omar Ben Ali has already shown a rather tyrannical and brutal side.
Originally, the tribute of the Southern States was not that high, and people's lives were manageable, without major conflicts with the Caliphate government.
With Omar Ben Ali becoming the new Caliph, the previously stable situation faced tremendous changes.
In his first year as Caliph, Omar Ben Ali expanded the Guard Army from the original five thousand to eight thousand, equipping them all with firearms.
