borno

Borno is a northeastern state of Nigeria, bordering Niger, Chad, and Cameroon. Its capital is Maiduguri. Historically, it was the core of the pre‑colonial Borno Empire (also called the Kanem‑Bornu Sultanate), a major Islamic kingdom that existed from the 9th to the early 20th century. Today Borno is known for its diverse ethnic groups, agricultural economy, and ongoing security challenges related to insurgent activity. Views Nigeria
