Yacouba Sylla

Hamawi Tijani preacher and entrepreneur (c. 1906–1988), one of Shaykh Hamahullah's most prominent disciples and his appointed muqaddam. His preaching at Kaédi in southern Mauritania sparked clashes with the Umari Tijanis, and in 1930 he was sentenced to eight years' exile at Sassandra in Côte d'Ivoire. Released in 1938, he settled at Gagnoa and built there a religious community known as Yacoubism and a business empire of plantations, transport and cinemas, becoming a leading Muslim notable of Côte d'Ivoire and a friend of President Houphouët-Boigny; he died at Gagnoa in 1988.
