  1. From @joannechocolat

    Amina (1533 -1610) was a #Hausa #queen in the city-state of #Zazzau (now #Zaria), in what is now the north-west region of #Nigeria.

    A fearsome leader, she built huge fortifications, massively expanded her territory over 35 years and created trade routes throughout Northern #Africa.

    #Ashanti

    *  Those who get to the river early drink the cleanest water.
    #Kenyan
