الملخص EN

This reserch aims at analyzing the political system in northern Nigeria in order to compare its system before and after the colonialism, and choose the one which is better for the development of northern Nigeria, the rights and dignity of its citizens and values, through addressing their achievements and challenges.

The descriptive supported with the analytical methodology have been applied in carrying out the research.

Finally, the researchers have found out that the political system in northern Nigeria had gone through two periods: the pre-colonial and post-colonial periods.

Several positive achievements had been recorded during that period including: the reviving of Islam and providing security in the communities of northern Nigeria.

On the other hand, the democratic system has not left great achievements for the historians to pass because of its inconsistency with the values and customs of the people of northern Nigeria.

Finally, the researchers underscore that the political system implemented before the colonization in northern Nigeria was the best system worthy for implementation in this region, due to its consistency with the values of the people of the region.
