- Abdullahi Dan Kanajeji, known as Abdullahi Burja, was the sixteenth ruler of Kano. Through forging of powerful alliances and the creation of trade routes, Burja shifted the identity of the Kano Sultanate towards trade and commerce, what Kano and it's people are known for today. He was the first Hausa King to pay tribute to Bornu which secured an agreement to open trade routes from Gwanja to Bornu. He was also the first King to own camels in Hausaland. By the end of the 15th Century, Kano emerged as one of the most vibrant trading centers in the Sahel. Through trade, the Hausa language and culture was spread throughout the region. (en)

- The 16th Sarki was Abdulahi Burja. His mother’s name was Tekidda.
There was no one like him for generosity. He was the first in Hausaland to give Bornu “tsare or gaisua.” He opened roads from Bornu to Gwanja. He was the first to own camels in Hausaland.
Sarkin Bornu left his country at this time and went to attack Asben, but as he could not find any water for his army he returned home. The next year every town in the west paid him “tsare.” The Sarkin Kano went out to Khud and encamped there one year and six months. The Galadima Daudu went to wage war in the south. In Burja’s time Karmashi conquered the Migawa. The Sarki went to Dussi. The Galadima Daudu said to him, “Return to Kano, I will do for you whatever you want done, and defeat your enemies.”
So the Sarkin Kano returned home. When he arrived in Kano, he found that Dagachi had assumed great power in the town, and collected wealth without end, and had built houses from his house as far as Salamta. It was Dagachi who made the market of Karabka. All this time the Galadima Daudu was in the south making war on the pagans every day, conquering them and taking them as slaves. Every month he sent 1,000 slaves to Sarkin Kano. All the people of Kano flocked to him. There was no one left in Kano except the Sarki and very old men. Every day the Sarki sent to the Galadima horses, clothes and horse trapping.
The Galadima was sung as follows:
:Gatherer of the axes of the south (en)
