Before “soft power” had a name, Sokoto was already practicing it.

In the 1800s, the Sokoto Caliphate built one of the most powerful cultural and intellectual networks in Africa—without relying on military force alone.

Here’s how. 👇🏾

[Caliphate Times Media @caliphate_times]

Sokoto’s soft power was built on:

📌 Spiritual legitimacy

📌 Mass education

📌 Rule-based governance

In a world of empires, they built a “global seat” of moral authority.

Kudos to our Brave Soldiers

[Bakatsine @DanKatsina50]

GOOD NEWS: Yesterday night, bandits attacked Kwargaba community in Wurno LGA, Sokoto State. Fortunately, no residents were harmed or abducted. As vigilantes and Soldiers from Marnona responded quickly after receiving the community’s alert and successfully repelled the attack. They k*lled two of the bandits and arrested three others.

Kudos to the Nigerian Army for this commendable effort. The residents are grateful and appreciate their swift and decisive response.
