FANTAH

Chronicles

© Hadiza Bagudu 2026

Plot


Based on the bestselling novel Fantah, Fantah-Chronicles tells the story of a simple Bororo girl from a nomadic village in West Africa who meets the man of her dreams and believes she has found her happily ever after. But what she gets is a blue-blooded prince with an unquenchable ambition and an ironclad will. He sweeps her into a whirlwind of romance, danger, and adventure beyond her imagination. From the vast grasslands of the Fombina Empire to the ancient Trans-Saharan trade routes of the Borno Kingdom, from the unforgiving heat of the Sudan to the legendary Caliphate of Sokoto—this is a journey of love, destiny, and survival.

“Author Interview: The Story Behind Fantah”

"I didn't research Fulani culture. I am Fulani culture."

Born in Yola to a Fulani mother and a Nupe father, raised in Yola, Adamawa. In this interview with AkweyaTV, I explain why FANTAH is not just a novel — it is a correction. A story told from the inside, at a time when my people are being judged from the outside.
