My impression of the journey to Bade Emirate in Yobe State where I traveled to the remote areas in the Sahel zone, the Bulatura Oases in 2009.
The sector has a series of swampy valleys separated by scenic dunes.
The route: Gashua, Kachallari, Yusufari, Tuli-Tulo Oases, Laridi Oases, Kachimaram Oases, Burumwadi Oases, Tulo-Tulo Kulbuwa Oases, Jarari, Jajari, Fatimeri, Kuriwakko Dunes, Maimalari Dunes, Gu Malanti, Mainari.
People living here are farmers and livestock keepers. The valleys contain rich deposits of potash that are sold by traders at Gashua Potash Market.
The ethnic groups are the Kanuri, Fulani, Hausa. Bade, Shuwa, Marghi, and Manga.
