The (Digital) Revolution of the Christ

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Zaria is a major city in Kaduna State in Northern Nigeria. First known as Zazzau, it was one of the original seven Hausa city-states. The 2007 estimated population was 1,018,827.[1] The current Emir of Zaria (Sarkin Zazzau in Hausa language) is Shehu Idris.

Zaria, initially known as Zazzau, was also the capital of the Hausa kingdom of Zazzau.[2] However, human settlement predates the rise of Zazzau, as the region like a few of its neighbors had a history of sedentary Hausa settlement, with institutional but pre-capitalist market exchange and farming.
In the late 1490s, Islam arrived Zaria by the way of its sister Habe cities, Kano and Katsina. Along with Islam, trade also flourished between the cities as traders brought camel caravans filled with salt in exchange for slaves and grain.[2] Between the fifteenth and sixteenth century the kingdom became a tributary state of the Songhai Empire. In 1805 it was captured by the Fulani during the Fulani Jihad. British forces led by Frederick Lugard took the city in 1901.


AND

Zaria or Zoria is the goddess of beauty in Slavic mythology.[1] A once-popular goddess also associated with the morning, Zaria was known to her worshippers as "the heavenly bride." She was greeted at dawn as "the brightest maiden, pure, sublime, honorable." She was also known as a water priestess that protected warriors.[2]
Zarya (заря) is the Russian word for "sunrise," or "morning star."[3]
