 * I went on a pilgramage and got the name al-Hajj after. I am the emperor of the Sonhai empire, and the title that i gained added to my athourity in Songhai.one of my many achievements is my military.My main task was to revive many of Ali's military conquests. Sunni Ali is my father and i was chosen to succeed him. I led a force to the Mali empire. I almost expanded my empire all the way the the Atlantic Ocean. I gained control of a trade route in the east. I had made my military stronger than my fathers had been. But besides my military achievements my main achievements were political. There were 4 provinces each ruled by the royal family. While my father was in power there were vassal kings that held power but now only a few of them still hold power. All the unity that was needed came from the family. I also introduced a system of wieghts and measures.I made Timbuktu one of the greatest learning and trade centers. I also brought the long and peaceful golden age to Songhai. ||

 * Books were very important to the Songhai empire. I allied with the Timbuktu scholars so that the songhia empire would produce many scholars. We ended up producing many scholars that wrote many books. Learning and liturature was one of the many things that The homes for the higher class were great and spacious. The poor's homes were not as magnificent as the nobles and the kings. Mainly all of the people farmed and worked in mines. They traded fish and also fished often in thier own culture. ||

 * The religion the Songhai empire accepted is Islam. We were a strong muslim Kingdom. Eventhough, some of the empire practiced indigenous beliefs. ||
