The development process of a society can be understood through the study of lives of its inhabitants either as individuals or groups. In this connection, Nigerian historians have produced considerable amount of works on the country's local and national leaders. Such works have continued to enhance our knowledge of their roles in, and relevance to the country. While such biographies cut across religio-cultural boundaries, it seems clear that biographies on Muslim personalities, most especially at the local level, deserve more attention. This is why this study is on Mustapha Adamu Animashaun, who influenced the lives of Muslims and non-Muslims alike in Lagos during the first half of the twentieth century. In this study, the birth and educational background of Adamu Animashaun are examined. His life as a publisher, editor and author also receives attention. Furthermore, Adamu Animashaun's participation in the crisis of the Muslim Community of the Lagos Central Mosque between 1915 and 1947 is analysed. In addition, the study pays attention to his involvement in the formation of a Muslim political party in Lagos in the 1950s. The study concludes that despite the servile antecedents of Adamu Animashaun, he moved across the social ladder to become a leading personality in Lagos society – a feat achieved through sustained struggle, determination and support of those who shared the same aspiration with him.

John Leo Africanus' description of Africa offers a set of rich and diverse references which lead one to re-consider some of the arguments and clues which imply and implicate Jewish participation in the trans-Saharan trade and their settlement in the Western Sudan during the late Middle Ages. An analysis of the document reveals the commercial orientation of North African and Saharan mellahs, their role in the implantation of points along the primary and secondary trans-Saharan routes and their termini, and the professional specialization of Jewish artisans. The major axis which linked Morocco to the Upper Niger Delta consisted of two major routes: Fes - Timbuktu and Tafilalet/Dar'a – Walata/Timbuctu. Indeed, Jewish occupations are intimately linked to the transformation of gold, to metalworking and to the import of other primary products from the Western Sudan. In Leo's description, there are references to Jewish tradesmen involved in the trans-Saharan trade. Moreover this activity appears as the principal source of personal enrichment in the Jewish communities. To quench their covetousness and to ensure the security of their properties and persons, Jewish communities and tradesmen were forced to pay local and specific taxes above and beyond the legal and traditional djizya. Sometimes, despite these added taxes, particularly during periods of crisis, politico-religious figures instigated popular persecution against them. Leo cites a sadly but widely known example: the persecution of the Jewish community of the Touat in 1492 instigated by al-Maghili. When considered in tandem, in principle two of the references analyzed in Leo are sufficient to verify the existence of a Sudanese Jewish community: on the one hand the involvement of the Jews in the trans-Saharan trade and on the other the regular persecution of Jews living in the North African and Saharan Mellahs. We can add to these two references a solid argument. According to Leo, 'the king of Timbuktu' (who at the time of Leo's visit was the Songhay ruler Askya Muhammad) declared a policy of exclusion towards the Jewish traders. As a consequence, they were declared persona non grata in Timbuktu, and by extension, throughout the region of his rule. This reference, which implies that Jewish traders attracted by the wealth of the country lived there at the end of the fifteen century and perhaps during the early sixteen century, is validated by comparison with early documents and sources from the same period (e.g. Valentim Fernandes, Ahmed Bâba, the Tarikh al-Fattâsh), and with local traditions collected in the Kurmina region at Tendirma, Morikoyra, Arham, among others.

John Leo Africanus对非洲的描述提供了一系列丰富多样的参考资料，使人们重新考虑一些争论和线索，这些争论和线索暗示和暗示犹太人参与了跨撒哈拉贸易，并在中世纪后期在苏丹西部定居。对该文件的分析揭示了北非和撒哈拉沙漠的商业方向，它们在沿主要和次要跨撒哈拉路线及其终点站建设中的作用，以及犹太工匠的专业专业化。连接摩洛哥和上尼日尔三角洲的主要轴心包括两条主要路线:费斯-廷巴克图和塔菲拉莱/达累斯喀特-瓦拉塔/廷巴克图。事实上，犹太人的职业与黄金的转变、金属加工和从苏丹西部进口其他初级产品密切相关。在利奥的描述中，提到了参与跨撒哈拉贸易的犹太商人。此外，这种活动似乎是犹太社区个人致富的主要来源。为了平息他们的贪婪和确保他们的财产和人身安全，犹太社区和商人被迫在法律和传统的djizya之外支付地方和特定的税收。有时，尽管增加了这些税收，特别是在危机时期，政治和宗教人物煽动民众对他们的迫害。利奥引用了一个令人悲伤但广为人知的例子:1492年，马吉里煽动对图阿特犹太社区的迫害。如果一并考虑，原则上列奥报告所分析的两个参考资料足以证实苏丹犹太人社区的存在:一方面，犹太人参与跨撒哈拉贸易，另一方面，生活在北非和撒哈拉地区的犹太人经常受到迫害。我们可以给这两个参考资料加上一个有力的论据。根据利奥的说法，“廷巴克图国王”(利奥访问时是松海的统治者阿斯基亚·穆罕默德)宣布了一项排斥犹太商人的政策。结果，他们在廷巴克图被宣布为不受欢迎的人，进而在他统治的整个地区被宣布为不受欢迎的人。这一记载表明，被该国财富所吸引的犹太商人在15世纪末或16世纪初居住在那里，通过与同时期的早期文件和资料(例如Valentim Fernandes, Ahmed b ba, Tarikh al- fatt sh)以及在Tendirma, Morikoyra, Arham等库尔米纳地区收集的当地传统进行比较，可以证实这一点。拉各斯历史评论，卷5 (2005)，146-176
