Dauda was a Sultan of Kano who reigned from 1421 to 1438.; in Google Books. The dates of Dauda's reign are based on the interpretation of the Kano Chronicle, which listed the length of reign (in years and months) of rulers up to Abdullahi, who was known to have died on 8 September 1882 after having " ruled Kano 27 years and 8 days". Abdullahi's predecessors were Osumanu ("9 years and 10 months"), Ibrahim Dabo ("27 years and 3 months and 9 days"), Sulaimanu ("13 years") and Muhammad Alwali II ("27 years"), with the lengths of rule totaling 883 years before 1882 to the first ruler, Bagauda, whose rule of "66 years" would thus have begun in AD 999
