timolala:Don't say what you are not sure of. Borno is not a christian dominated state. If you say there are communities like Chibok dominated by Christian no doubt about that but not the entire Borno state. 1 Like |

ADUKKY:He said Borno is dominated by Christian not me.No doubt there are many churches in Borno. Boko Haram really did a lot of damages in Borno state, a very peaceful and accommodating people before BH influence. |

Sagay212:That was when BH came. I am not a Northern but most Northern states are more secured than our states here in the South. Biu before BH came, you can go in and out at any time without anyone robbing you of your belongings. My first day of visiting Maiduguri was over 13yrs ago. I got their without knowing anyone around 10pm with my belongings. A bike man took me to the hotel without exploiting me with additional charges despite he knew i was a first time caller. Try that in any of the Southern states. 1 Like |

nanz:No part of Biu belongs to Adamawa. Biu is totally a community in Borno state. The parts you are referring to are Uba/ Michika. When you are in Uba which belongs to Borno state, the moment you move a bit further, you get yo Michika which belongs to Adamawa state,thereafter you move further you get to another communities that belong to Borno state. |
