Lamordé borders the Nogaré district in the northeast , the area of ​​the Lamordé National Hospital in the southeast and the informal settlement of Zarmagandey in the south . It covers an area of ​​approximately 53.2 hectares . The district lies on an alluvial floor that allows infiltration. The groundwater is at risk of being polluted.

history

Lamordé is an old Fulbe settlement. It was founded by Fulbe, who were expelled from the village of Karégorou in Bitinkodji by members of the Tuareg group Logomat . In the 19th century, Lamordé, whose local ruler was called Lamido , belonged to the emirate of Gwandu , which in turn was part of the Sokoto Caliphate . The Zarma ruler Issa Korombé from Karma had his troops destroyed the settlement in the second half of the 19th century after he was called for help by the Songhai from Dargol , who were enemies of the Fulbe . During the French colonial era in the 20th century, Lamordé became the seat of a canton ruled by a traditional ruler (chef traditionnel) . Boubacar Diallo , the head of the canton of Lamordé, was also general secretary of the Association des Chefs Coutumiers du Niger , the association of traditional Nigerian rulers.

Lamordé was incorporated into Niamey in the 1970s after the construction of the Kennedy Bridge over the Niger River, which favored an expansion of the city to the right bank of the Niger. In the period from 1971 to 1976 the old village was expanded by building new apartments. In the 1980s, Lamordé was temporarily merged with Karadjé to form a district. In the flood disaster of 2010 , which hit Niamey on the night of August 5th to 6th, Lamordé was one of the most severely affected districts, along with Karadjé, Kombo , Kossey and Zarmagandey. In Lamordé 182 houses were flooded and 26 more were declared in danger of collapse. The relocation of around 750 households affected by renewed flooding in 2012 from the districts of Lamordé, Karadjé, Kirkissoye and Nogaré to the new Séno district was completed in February 2013.

population

At the 2012 census, Lamordé had 5,754 inhabitants living in 1,004 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 6,947 in 1,060 households, and at the 1988 census, the population was 3,304 in 486 households.
