D for Daura
Local trade in Daura town is primarily in sorghum, millet, onions, peanuts (groundnuts), cotton, and hides and skins; cattle, goats, sheep, horses, and donkeys are kept by its Hausa and Fulani inhabitants. Cotton weaving and peanut collecting (for export) are significant economic activities.
According to historical tradition, Kusugu well was discovered in the 7th century during the reign of Queen Daurama who was said to have shifted the capital of Daura Kingdom from Tsohon Birni to the present Daura town as a result of the new found source of water (i.e. Kusugu Well). However, it happened that the well, which was the only source of water for the people in those days was occupied by a dangerous snake which denied access to the water except on Fridays.
The people of Daura continued to live with the water problem until Bayajidda, the son of Abdullahi the ruler of Baghdad, visited the town.
The Kusugu well is where the giant snake Sarki was killed with a sword by Bayajida in the 10th century because the snake would only allow the people of Daura to fetch water from the well once a week. The well and the sword that was used to kill the formidable snake can still be seen by tourists today.
Following strife with his father Bayajidda set for the west with some of his brothers. He later arrived and stayed briefly in Borno where he married Magira the daughter of the ‘Mai of Borno’. He later left Borno and continued his journey westwards and reached Dala hills in Kano where the pagan blacksmiths made a knife for him. He continued his journey northwards until he arrived Daura late in the night. On entering the city, Bayajidda sought water for his horse. However, he was informed that water was available only on Fridays owing to the snake in the well. Bayajidda then asked the way to the well. When he reached there, he put the calabash into the well. The snake seized it and threatened to kill him. He then pulled the snake to the surface and cut its head with his sword.
The following day the town people became amazed when they found the body of the dead snake beside the well. News of the event reached Daurama who quickly sent for Bayajidda.
