CHAPTER ONE
1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The most accepted account of the origin and the real background of the Gbagyi people, however, say the people originated from Borno, in the North east of Nigeria. Temple (1919), says it is possible that they are indigenous to Zamfara, the districts stretching down to the Southern part of Zaria province. This makes it easy for them to be more influenced by these other groups who are considered to be more influential than them.
Nadel, as quoted by Malafia (2008:4) believes that the Gbagyi who came originally from Borno are Beriberi in origin. This assertion was supported by Backwell (1932:31) in Mailafia (2008). He said that, Borno is their (Gbagyi) traditional country of origin, and the Gwari Genge of Abuja claim to be of Egyptian descent and treasure a substance resembling a lapis lazuli which is said to have been brought from Egypt. Historians like Ishaku Baraje as quoted in Mailafia (1990:44), -also supported the above assertion but added that, the Gbagyi lived in Saudi Arabia and later migrated into Africa because the Islamic religion spread in the country. They crossed into Africa in small groups. They later settled in Borno with the Kanuri Beriberi- and other ethnic groups. This is strongly supported by many Gbagyi. This group believes that the Gbagyi and the Kanuri share common facial marks and other similar cultural practices although; this claim is not supported by linguistic evidence there are other postulations of the origin of the Gbagyi. Bmyanyiko (1997) wrote that the Gbagyi migrated from the Chadian region into Borno about 1400 AD but later migrated into Kano and further into Zaria by 1700AD which might be the only connection that exists between Hausa and Gbagyi.
