This is the palace of the Borno Emirate. This realm dates from the early 20th century, but its rulers stem from the Bornu Empire, which was founded in the 1380s. The Emir is a ceremonial ruler rather than an absolute monarch, but he is an influential figure, honoured by 4 million Kanuri.
The Borno Emirate, also known as the Borno Sultanate or Bornu Emirate, is a traditional state located in Borno State, Nigeria. The emirate is a remnant of the regime of the old Kanem–Bornu Empire, ruled by dynasts of the final Bornoan ruling dynasty. The rulers of the Borno Emirate serve as ceremonial leaders, preserving political and cultural continuity with the old empire. They have continued to be styled as the shehus of Borno, continuing an imperial line established by Muhammad al-Amin al-Kanemi in the early 19th century.
