Daniski

Daniski was an early centre of the Bole people in the country west of Bornu. The old settlement stood on a hill near Fika, and traditions of the Fika ruling house remember it as an earlier seat of authority. The Bole formed part of a varied region that also included Ngamo, Ngizim and other neighbouring peoples, each with its own language and traditions.

The history of Fika's rulers reaches back to Daniski, where they lived before moving their headquarters to Fika in the early nineteenth century. Moi Ibrahim Dazara is remembered as the ruler who led the move and established the new settlement. Daniski remained associated with the origins of the ruling house after the centre of power had shifted south.
