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.

A bit of a departure this week, here's a few of my favourite African proverbs.
* Strategy is better than strength.
#Hausa* When the door is closed, you must learn to slide across the crack of the sill.
#Yoruba* If you are on a road to nowhere, find another road.
#Ashanti* Those who get to the river early drink the cleanest water.
#Kenyan* Two men in a burning house must not stop to argue.
