The Sullubawa or Sisulbe are a Fulani clan that historically featured prominently in the Jihad of Usman dan Fodio which founded the Sokoto Caliphate.[1][2] The ruling dynastic houses of Kano Emirate and Katsina Emirate; as well as the Ringim Emirate and Karaye Emirate belong to the clan and another amongst the four ruling Houses of Zazzau Emirate.[3] They are also found in Kano, Jigawa, Katsina and Sokoto states.
The ancestral origin of the Sullubawa is bilād as-sūdān (بلاد السودان) (Sullubawa in Hausa, Sullpe in Fulani language) are the descendants of Ahmed Bah باه (one of the four of Oquba Bin Nafah Alfehri الفهري عقبة بن نافع offspring and the two thousand soldiers (Faman settled in Silla) at Niger river have intermarriage with native residents they are distributed into 18 tribes some of them are: Yallabi يلبي Wlrapi ولربي Sall سال Sullupe Sullubawaسولوبي , Tarnapi تانرابي Oranbi, wallabi and 80 branches related to them.[4]

They are the main branches of El-Faman ancestors of the Red Fulani of Western Sudan that white army who came from North Africa and settled in Silla since 739 A.D.[6]
They are said to have originated from Futa Toro, in what is now Senegal, and are cousins with the Torodbe (Toronkawa) from Sissilo, the husband of Cippowo, a sister of Uthman Toroddo ancestor of Usman dan Fodio.
Sullubawa fought against the Hausa kingdoms in the jihad led by Usman dan Fodio.[7] They became "hereditary beneficiaries of all positions of authority in all but one Hausa state".[8] The clan controlled many of the fiefdoms of the Kano Emirate in the 19th century.[9] They benefitted from British colonization and indirect rule which saw their influence increase.[10] The Sullubawa later attained positions of power following independence;[11] with one of them Umaru Musa Yar'Adua becoming President of Nigeria.[12]
