This may interest the readers to know that as at the time MALLAM BIJIMI settled at this present day called Kurudu, there were no any community or ethnic group in the whole of the area, meaning we – the Gwandara were the first settlers; then after centuries, the Kpeigyi community of the Gbagyi speaking people joined us at our great fore-fathers (ancestral) land popularly known as “minya” in Gwandara Language.

Later again, the other Gwagyi speaking people also join their speaking people (Kpeigyi settlers) but they were denied and sent to us – the Gwandara Speaking people been the original inhabitants. They came with their request and it was granted by the then village head – Sarki Mamu.
