The '''Bida Emirate''' is a [[List of Nigerian traditional states|traditional state]] in Nigeria, a successor to the old Nupe Kingdom, with its headquarters in [[Bida, Nigeria|Bida]], [[Niger State]]. The head of the

==History==
The old Nupe Kingdom was established in the middle of the 15th century in a basin between the [[Niger River|Niger]] and [[Kaduna River|Kaduna]] rivers in what is now central Nigeria. Early history is mostly based on verbally-transmitted legends.
King Jibiri, who reigned around 1770, was the first Nupe king to become Muslim. Etsu Ma’azu brought the kingdom to its period of greatest power, before dying in 1818. During that period, the [[Fulani]] were gaining power across Northern Nigeria. After Ma’azu's death and during the subsequent wars of succession, the Nupe Kingdom came under the control of the [[Gwandu Emirate]]. Masaba, son of the Fulani leader [[Muhammadu Bangana|Mallam Dendo]] and a Nupe mother, gained power in 1841.<ref>{{cite web

Faced with revolt by one of his generals, Masaba allied with the former Etsu Nupe, Usman Zaki, to recover control. Usman Zaki was enthroned as Etsu Nupe at Bida, and after his death around 1859 Masaba again became ruler until 1873. During his second period of rule, Masaba established the Bida Emirate as an important military power, steadily expanding its territory at the expense of its neighbors to the south and east. His successors retained control until 1897, when British [[Niger company|Niger Company]] troops finally took Bida and established a puppet ruler. The Bida emirate became subject first to the British colonial regime, then to the independent state of Nigeria, with its rulers playing an increasingly ceremonial role.<ref>{{cite web
