Dunama took from his father, who was old and blind Mai who renounced the throne after the Fulani Jihad resulted in the capture of Ngazargamu. Mai Dunama enlisted the support of Muhammad al-Amin al-Kanemi, to counter the Fulani in word and battle. Dunama rewarded al-Kanemi with slaves and goods, after the defeat of Goni Mukhtar.

In 1809, after Ngazarmu was again captured, the gentlemen forced Dubama to renounce one of his thrones, and Dunama's uncle Muhammad Ngileruma was made Mai. By 1813, the courtiers grew tired of Ngileruma, and reinstated Dunama as Mai. Yet Mai Dunama was killed in war when he led a revolt against al-Kanemi in the year 1819-20.

Thank You.
