Who is the author: Abdul'aziz Sani Madakin Gini?
Author Abdul'aziz Sani Madakin Gini was born in Kano State in 1969 in the Gwangwazo neighborhood. He attended traditional Qur'anic school (makarantar allo) in Kano city, from where he went on to do his primary education in the Yalwa neighborhood of Kano city at Yalwa Primary School, after which he moved to Technical Wudil, and then went on to attend Federal Technical College Bichi, located in the Bichi Emirate. Currently, I work in Dala Local Government Council.
I started writing in 1983, and what drew my attention was my extensive reading of war novels combined with watching movies. Then my mind began telling me that I too should enter the world of authors to test the wisdom that God gave me. This reason is what caused me to start writing a book. Writing is a gift; it is not taught to a person. No one taught me. I started writing my first book in 1995, namely the book IDANIYAR RUWA. It is a romance book as its name implies. And the book came out and gained prominence in the literary world. After that, I wrote another one named DUNIYA RAWAR YA MATA, and then the book YAUDARA KO BUTULCI.
None of the books published by the author were imitations; all of them are original creations. The author has written over two hundred books. Moreover, the author is the most famous in the world of Hausa war literature books. Author Abdul'aziz Sani Madakin Gini wrote his first war book titled RINJAYE. The book became very famous, to the extent that it was included in the primary school student curriculum. The company that published the book is Jakara City Bookshop located in Kano city.
To this day, Rinjaye has gained acceptance, with the famous radio book reader Mallam Muhammad Umar Kaigama reading it. One of the happiest things is that through this book, author Abdul'aziz Sani Madakin Gini built the house where he lives. Among the author's most famous books are KUNDIN TSATSUBA, MAZAN JIYA, GALLABAR MAZA, SARKIN SARAKAI, RIJIYA GABA DUBU, and JELAR DAMISA. Despite the fact that at that time there were books by other famous authors.
In another aspect, author Abdul'aziz Sani Madakin Gini has written numerous films since the early existence of the Kannywood industry, such as the famous film titled JUYIN MULKI. Among the films that the author worked on and handled commercially himself are works like MARAICI.
