<P> Lamido ( plural Lamibe ) is the Anglicisation of a term from the Fula language or Fulfulde , used to refer to a ruler . In the language it is properly laamiiɗo ( pl . laamiiɓe ) , derived from the verbal root `` laam - '' meaning `` to rule or to lead '' , and hence may be translated more specifically as `` leader '' . It is commonly used to translate the concept of the Arabic title Emir , into Fulfulde . The title `` Lamido '' has been used by the traditional leaders of certain Islamic communities in West Africa , originally as head of ( often vassal ) states , nowadays persisting within post-colonial republics . </P>
