We are the voice of a new Borno — bold, resilient, and determined to reclaim our story.

Think Borno First is a people-powered initiative built by those who believe that the future of Borno lies not in waiting for outside solutions, but in looking inward — to our heritage, our people, our values, and our strength. We are a community of changemakers, young and old, rural and urban, within the state and in the diaspora — all united by one mission: to put Borno first in thought, action, and priority.

We came together not as an organization, but as a movement — born from a shared frustration with the narrative of loss and stagnation that has long overshadowed Borno. While the scars of conflict are real, we choose not to be defined by them. Instead, we choose to be defined by our response: to rise, to rebuild, and to restore the dignity and potential of our communities.

We are educators, creatives, entrepreneurs, volunteers, and ordinary citizens — bound by an extraordinary commitment to see Borno thrive again. Our strength lies in our diversity and our belief that everyone has a role to play, whether it's reviving culture, empowering youth, supporting small businesses, or simply reminding others of what Borno truly stands for.

We are grounded in local wisdom, fueled by civic pride, and driven by the power of community. Everything we do — from advocacy and storytelling to skill-building and innovation — is rooted in the understanding that transformation begins with us.

We are not here to complain. We are here to create.
We are not waiting for change. We are leading it.
We are not asking who will fix Borno. We are saying — it starts with us.

We are Think Borno First.
We are Borno. Reimagined.
