Jagaban = Asiwaju

A gaba, in hausa, should mean "in front" hence jagaban meaning asiwaju: he that leads from the front cool cool
Na my own theory be dat o cheesy
Hausa also have something like "shugaba", I think it also means Chief/leader!

Are you sure about this? Jagaban has an Hausa meaning and was used in the Fulani emirate of Borgu (part in present Benin republic). It has nothing to do with Oyo empire. As a matter of fact, apart from Bida emirate, they formed the main marauders that terrorized Yorubaland after the fall of Oyo.

The Borgu emirate is headquartered in Baruten in Kwara state and once ruled present Kwara north senatorial zone upwards towards Kainji in Niger state. It took Lord Lugard both blood and firepower to conquer them. Infact they mounted the highest resistance than any other emirate in the ancient Fulani sultanate. Even more than Kano and Sokoto.
