THE KANURI PEOPLE

They are located in Borna state. They began losing power when the British took control in 1914. They are the descendants of the Saifawa dynasty of the Kanem Empire. They were forced out of Kanem by the constant civil ar, rebellion and invasion by the Bulala and established a new empire.

The family head of the Kanuri is honoured with prestige based on the number of the members of the family. For this reason, young men are often loaned out to households to help with field labour to provide support and to help in defending the family and in return the man is clothed, fed and his bride price paid and sometimes a bride is given to him.
