Yerwa Reporters

The people of Kanem-Bornu(Kanuri Empire) were good in rotating capitals from time to time, unlike other African Ancient Empires that have their capitals standing for over 500 years, in Kanem-Bornu one cannot find Kanem-Bornu capital that remained a capital for over 400 years.

Remember Ngazargamu. Kukawa, Njimi, Monguno, Yerwa etc were or are all capitals of the Empire at different times.

Kanem-Bornu(Kanuri Kingdoms) Is One Of The Powerful Empire In Not Only West Africa But In Africa As A Whole.✊
Long Live Kanuri People, Long Live African People.

Maiduguri: Zulum opens tunnel-like underpass bridge

Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, on Friday, commissioned an underpass bridge built like a tunnel for pedestrian road-crossing while vehicles drive on top of the bridge.

The project was constructed around the famous Gamboru market in Maiduguri.

At the commissioning, Governor Zulum said construction of the underpass was due to risks involved with pedestrian crossing of the highway.

Zulum, since 2019, executed over 700 physical projects, among which is Borno’s first flyover and roads, over 20,000 newly built and rehabilitated houses used to resettle IDPs and refugees, over 20 mega-size schools, over 200 healthcare centres, among other projects aimed at implementing his administration’s urban renewal policy.

Secretary to the State Government, Malam Bukar Tijjani, Head of Service, Barrister Mallam Fannami, some commissioners, advisers, permanent secretaries and other government officials attended the commissioning at a brief ceremony.

This article is about the Kanuri people. For the language, see Kanuri language.

The Kanuri people (Kanouri, Kanowri, also Yerwa, Baribari and several subgroup names) are an African ethnic group living largely in the lands of the former Kanem and Bornu Empires in Niger, Nigeria, Sudan, Libya and Cameroon.[2] Those generally termed Kanuri include several subgroups and dialect groups, some of whom identify as distinct from the Kanuri. Most trace their origins to ruling lineages of the medieval Kanem-Bornu Empire, and its client states or provinces. In contrast to the neighboring Toubou or Zaghawa pastoralists, Kanuri groups have traditionally been sedentary, engaging in farming, fishing the Chad Basin, trade, and salt processing.[3]
