   When I learnt there would be a tour organized by writers mind forum Maiduguri,I was excited and jumped at the opportunity. You are probably wondering how it would feel like to go on  a tour in a place like Borno?   I expected it would be a fun adventure The tour was one of a kind , There were unexpected twist and turns but  that was what made it really fun.Imagine being in a bus with a bunch of poets,writters, spoken words artists, script writers , journalists and avidreaders, there were Some  spontaneous poem, Stories, history of the  marghi people,  Kanuri people and even  stories on how the kanuri people are linked to the Yoruba people of Nigeria.  It was a fun and informative tour. We had limited time so we had to pick two places to visit for the day.We visited  the two museums in Borno.The National Museum, which is directly under the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, and the Borno State Museum, which is under the Borno State Ministry of Information and Culture.
