Uthman Dan Fodio was born in 1754 at Maratta. Uthman Dan Fodio had his elementary Islamic education from his parent and relatives. He then travelled to other places, including Agades for his advanced studies.One of his teachers was the famous Jibril Umar,who had a remarkable influence on him. Uthman Dan Fodio was extraordinarily well-read in Arabic literature. He was a master of the classical tongue, which he had learnt in his youth.He possessed a vast knowledge of Quranic studies and was,in addition, particularly knowledgeable in traditions,laws and rhetorics. He had also studied classical history. All these enabled him to understand the essence of Islam,embodying the totality of human life that was not just confined to rituals. His writings on diverse subjects showed this. He had a clear vision of an ideal Islamic society. He was simple, pious and ascetic.He shunned material possessions. This was the fundamental difference between him and most of the other members of the Ulama or religious scholars, especially the court Ulama,whose greed and quest for material things where their undoing. They undermined their integrity and independence and sold their conscience owing to their close association With the kings and other leading members of the ruling classes. Hence, not only were they party to the prevailing corruption and oppression, but even went as far as manipulating Islamic teachings and Quranic laws to rationalise the activities of the kings Thus,they were hostile to what Uthman Dan Fodio represented. Uthman Dan Fodio started teaching and preaching in 1775 at the age of about twenty. He travelled extensively in the Rima basin -Gobir -Zamfara,Kebbi and elsewhere. He returned to Degel, his base, from his first tour accompanied by large numbers of people who joined his rank. His subsequent tour also increased the number of his followers.
