GIZO : THE TRICKSTER
In the Hausa religion, Gizo is regarded as a trickster spider. He is a notable figure among the people of the region who live in various countries such as Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Niger, and Benin. Like other mythical heroes in African mythology, he is a mythological figure. The Hausa animism, also known as Maguzanci or Bori, is a pre-Islamic religion that involves the possession of spirits and magic. Most of its followers adopted Islam following the 18th century’s Jihad by an Islamic reformer known as Fodio.
