Bussa, Nigeria
Bussa, also known as Boussa in older texts, was one of the main cities and kingdoms of the Borgu federation in northern Nigeria. It was the farthest navigable point on the Niger River from the coast, just above the rapids. The town site is now covered by Lake Kainji, which was created in 1968 with the construction of the Lake Kainji dam. The town was re-located to what is now called New Bussa. History Bussa was founded by Woru, the eldest son of Kisra, and the became point from which the Wasangari spread throughout Borgu. They developed a political system that incorporated the indigenous Karabonde earth-priests as important members of the royal court. Although it is the oldest and traditional leader of the Borgu confederacy, Bussa was sometimes overshadowed by the more economically and politically powerful city of Nikki. Bussa was attacked by the Songhai Empire in the 1490s, in 1505, and again in the middle of the 1500s. Despite fierce resistance, the Songhai occupied the cit ...

Borgu
Borgu is a region and former country split between north-west Nigeria and the northern Republic of Benin. It was partitioned between British Empire, Great Britain and France by the Anglo-French Convention of 1898. People of Borgu are known as Bariba people, Bariba or Borgawa. History Founding According to the Kisra legend known all over Borgu, the petty kingdoms of the country were founded by Kisra, a hero who according to an oral tradition immigrated from Birnin Kisra ("the town of Kisra") in Arabia, but also claiming descent from Kanem-Bornu. Before his arrival, Borgu was politically unorganized. Local societies were organized by lineage, and villages rarely fought against one another. Kisra's sons are said to have been the founders of the main kingdoms of Borgu: Bussa, Nigeria, Bussa, Illo, and Nikki, Benin, Nikki. While the historicity of the Kisra legend is unclear, it likely commemorates an invasion and occupation of Borgu by horse-mounted warriors in the 15th century. The ...

Names Busa language can be better known as Busa, but it is also known with the native name Bisã or with the Hausa name Busanci (also spelled Busanchi, Bussanci or Bussanchi).

Suzuki Hayabusa
The Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa is a sports motorcycle made by Suzuki since 1999. It immediately won acclaim as the world's fastest production motorcycle, with a top speed of . In 1999, fears of a European regulatory backlash or import ban led to an informal agreement between the Japanese and European manufacturers to govern the top speed of their motorcycles at an arbitrary limit starting in late 2000. The media-reported value for the speed agreement in miles per hour was consistently 186 mph, while in kilometers per hour it varied from 299 to 303 km/h, which is typical given unit conversion rounding errors. This figure may also be affected by a number of external factors, as can the power and torque values. The conditions under which this limitation was adopted led to the 1999 and 2000 Hayabusa's title remaining, at least technically, immune, since no subsequent model could go faster without being tampered with like early 2000 models. p. 31 After the much anticipated ...
