His ascendancy to the title of African Chief and his impact on the history and culture of West Africa forms this fascinating account of the life of Chief Alhaji Brimah I. Born in Horin around 1820 in the royal family compound, he was the eldest son of Hadji Baba Ibrahima, the unknown Warrior. Nicknamed the "Prince of Peace" by his people for his generous and kindhearted nature, he was one of the few who made the arduous pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. On his return, he followed the tradition of his forefathers and prospered, working on the family's cattle ranch. Soon, his wealth and position posed a threat to his life. When he supported the unsuccessful candidacy of the son of a close and dear friend in the election for Emir, he fled his homeland on the advice of his colleagues and went into exile.
