Video: Gwoza Before 1976

Long before it became a local government area, the land we now call Gwoza in Borno State, Nigeria, was already full of life, culture, and deep history. It was home to many ethnic groups, including the Glavda, Mafa, Mandara, Margi, and others. These people lived among tall hills, scattered rocks, and flowing streams. They farmed, hunted, and passed down stories from one generation to the next.
