Could this be a variation of the word “Sarki” in Hausa? In
Hausa language Sarki translates to: emir, king or chief. A Sarki can also be a
Prince of a particular area. The term is generally linked with royalty. In the
same vein, the Yoruba have the word “Seriki” which means: a chieftain.
In my experiencing, I have come to know that the Yoruba
people use the word “saraki” as a description of a person of worth!
A person is described as saraki by the Yoruba when he is
considered to be: noble, eminent, important, urbane, civilized, of high
integrity and a person within the society worthy of emulation. A person of good
report.
Now, come to think of it: are you a SARAKI?
