Bibliographical Reference: In Hill, P. 1972. 'Rural Hausa : a village and a setting'. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press) Hill writes "Alhaji Nuhu. This prominent head of an extended household of 20 people (a group which is unique in Batagarawa as including both a son and a brother in gandu) has been the Arabic teacher in the primary school since its foundation in 1946. He does no farming, relying wholly on ^yan kwadago, whose work is supervised by his son-in-gandu." [LB 14/08/2024]
