dc.description.abstractEvery historical period is usually accompanied by emergence and growth of states in connection with socio-economic and political circumstances. Like other flag-bearers of the seat of the Sokoto Caliphate, Jama’are Emirate emerged as a result of migrations and the nineteen century Sokoto religious reforms (Jihad). Jama’are Emirate is among the fourteen emirates that received a flag of office from the Sokoto Caliphate, and played a vital role towards the actualization of the Caliphate’s two hundred years Dynasty. There is a dearth of literature exploring the history of the emirate. The objective of this study was to trace the migrations and settlement of Jama’are people in the emergence and growth of Jama’are Emirate of Bauchi, Northern Nigeria from 1850 to 1960, and to examine the socio-economic and political transformations that occurred in the emirate within the stated period (1850 to 1960). Structuralfunctionalist and Social Conflict theories guided the study. The descriptive research design was used, which adopted historical methodology and qualitative approach was adopted as the primary approach. The target population of the study comprised Jama’are people both male and female, and the sample size for the study was 20 participants aged 50years and above. Purposive sampling technique was adopted in the study. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The data was analyzed thematically since it was recorded in narration form. The study findings indicated that migrations and settlement of Jama’are people played a fundamental role in the formation of Jama’are Emirate. It was that the Fulani migrants initially migrated from Senegal around the twelfth century to a place called Dilara. Those who moved from Dilara in Senegal were the first cohort of people to migrate to Jama’are, they were followed by the Katsina the last group to settle in Jama’are. It was also noted that each group came to Jama’are with diverse economic, social and political practices which together contributed to the emergence of a Jama’are culture. With this agriculture, education, political practices as well as social activities became vibrant. The emergence of colonialism led to the tremendous changes in the economy, politics and social lives of the Jama’are peoples. There was the introduction of Islam as a religion, a new language and a new culture. Today Jama’are emirate has a rich and vibrant economy, political system and a social practice that is very specific to the emirate.en_US
