Contradiction edit
The 'Early Rule' section claims that Mai Ali Dunamami founded the new capital Ngazargamu, but that article claims the city was founded by Ali Gaji, that name pipe-linked to Ali Gazi. The Ali Gazi article refers to him founding a capital city called Birni Gazargamu (a redlink in the Ali Gazi article), which I'd guess is aka Ngazargamu.
Also, this article gives Ali Gaji's dates as 1497–1515, but the Ngazargamu gives them as 1455-1487. From that I'd assume they were different people, but both are referred to as attacking and defeating the Bulala. (The Ali Gazi article doesn't give any dates.)
Can someone who knows this subject sort out the contradiction (who founded Ngazargamu) and sort out the seemingly-inconsistent naming of the city and Ali Gaji/Gazi, and the dates?
