The Borno Emirate or Borno Sultanate is a traditional Nigerian state formed at the start of the 20th century. It is headed by descendants of the rulers of the Bornu Empire, founded before 1000. The rulers have the title Shehu of Borno (var. Shehu of Bornu, Sultan of Borno/u). The traditional Emirate of Borno maintains a ceremonial rule of the Kanuri people, based in Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria, but acknowledged by the 4 million Kanuri in neighbouring countries.
The current ruling line, the al-Kanemi dynasty, dates to the accession of Muhammad al-Amin al-Kanemi in the early 19th century, displacing the Sayfawa dynasty which had ruled from around 1300.
History
The old Bornu Empire collapsed in 1893 when the Funj warlord Rabih Zubayr ibn Fadlallah seized power and transferred the capital to Dikwa. The French, then expanding in West Africa, defeated and killed Rabih they installed Shehu Sanda Kura, a member of the old Bornu dynasty, as the first Shehu of Borno in Dikwa in 1900. In 1901 they replaced him by his brother Umar Abubakar Garbai, ancestor of the current Emirs of Borno. Based on a treaty between the French, Germans and British, the old Bornu was split up and Dikwa became part of the German colony of Cameroon. The British invited Umar Abubakar Garbai to become ruler of the British portion, and he moved in 1902 first to Monguno and later to Maiduguri.
Later Dikwa was transferred to the British, resulting in two Shehus, the Shehu of Borno based at Maidgurui and the Shehu of Dikwa based at Dikwa.
Yo estoy tan sola Perdida en el absurdo De un amor amargo Lejos de tu mundo Sola, no, oh! Lloro si te sueño Tiemblo al ver tu cara Yo soy de mi dueño Perra enamorada Y sola Por amor Yo soy capaz De arrodillarme De pedir perdón De dar la vida Pero ¿Quién me curará? ¿Quién lamerá mi piel? ¿Quién? Si me quedo sola Te necesito ya Huy! Me abriré las venas Se cerrará la tarde Al ver tu corazón de yeso Regado con mi sangre Y abierto para darte así, sí, mi carne ¡Ah! Por amor Yo soy capaz De arrodillarme De pedir perdón De dar la vida Pero ¿Quién me curará? ¿Quién lamerá mi piel? ¿Quién? Si me dejas sola
