Zubeiru bi Adama
Zubeiru or Zubayru bi Adama was a ruler of the Adamawa Emirate founded by his father, Modibo Adama. By the time he came to the throne in 1890, the emirate was threatened by the Germans, French and English. Zubeiru attempted "a hopeless, though spirited, rearguard action" against European attrition of the emirate.Life
His rule was weakened by war against Hayatu ibn Sa'id and then attempts to resist the Royal Niger Company and British administration under Frederick Lugard. In 1901 he was forced to flee Yola and become an exiled renegade.
