Observation

(i) single Fulani Empire was established to replace all the old Hausa dynasties;
(ii) religious unity was established as the people saw themselves belonging to the same religion;
(iii) cultural unity was established;
(iv) a new system of government was introduced;
(v) Islamic code of conduct was embraced by the people, etc.
