This is a fulfillment to a thummim of the light of GOD. Thanks to nature. Meanwhile, if you are an Ebira person out there, the full history of the EBIRA ORIGIN many millions of years from the time of the Homo Erectuses is available at this link. Very soon, nature will raise other people in Nigeria to bring the full history of other tribes in it to us so that you can stop taking the foreign and imported gods and ancestors as your gods and ancestors.

Hope they are not going to teach the kids that Mungo Park discovered River Niger

kay29000:
This is definitely a good move. Too many people online are trying to rewrite history, and most people believe anything they read online. With this, at least the kids will get to know the real unbiased history of their country.

Greatest mistake? Did you think you'd get any better without the colonial masters? Go and ask Ethiopia how far. They'd give you a 1001 reason why a country needs colonialism.

baysol:


Simple, People who get to power by crooked means through nepotism, quota system, etc will always goof. The greatest goof yet in the history of Nigeria is the removal of History from the curriculum for whatever reason be it self serving political etc. Let heads be visible seen to roll for this unwholesome shenanigan. This country has been misruled, mislead, misdirected and mismanaged by unpatriotic element and parasites(like Atiku, Saraki, Omishore, Kashamu, Fayoshe, Donald duke, Okorocha, kwakwanso etc) and yet some more parasites are waiting on the wings for cheap appointment into power by naïve nonchalant Nigerians who did not do their home work on potential leaders that lack credibility in all ramifications, and how to vote these out of power.

Are you an historian

Why did they scrap it earlier?
History Subject is indispensable in the school's curriculum as it makes the student acquainted with the past and history of Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
The children need to be taught how Ojukwu Deceived the igbos which led to their massacre during the civil war of 1967

Lilimax:
Why was it scrapped in the first place

But to be honest I dislike that subject HISTORY in my secondary school days cos the notes are so long .

Give me Calculations anytime any day

seyisolu:


Who is going to write it, is it the people who witnessed the said events or people who the stories were told?

It is very annoying to later realise that the same names you will read in the history of events that happened decades ago are still in power. The same people who will see it unrealistic for youths to gain political power because of reasons best known to them.

I think the tales would still be biased, because it has always been one-sided.

oodua1stson:
Wait oo.......was history scraped before? Cos last time I was in secondary school history was a subject

udumosam23:
They should model the history topics to make it more relevant. More attention should be given to political history with the aim of improving our political culture.

Ethnic/cultural history to be tought without bias or projecting one culture above another. Historical mistakes should also be pointed out when or where necessary and right approach/action be informed in case of present or future occurance.

This is to say, the sole purpose for history should be to inform the present in order to correct or shapen the future.

History shouldn't be limited to mongo park or lugard era. Events after independence and our political and social developments should form a major part of the history topics.

Stop teaching my children how the white man colonize the black man, making him keep looking inferior thereby, subjecting him to low self exteem.

hucienda:
Why was it removed in the first place?

DengXioping:

It wasn't removed officially at the senior levels, but fizzled out at the junior levels following the 1969 National Curriculum Conference which led to the introduction of the 6-3-3-4 education system which introduced Social Studies as an alternative and led to the elimination of history at the primary and junior secondary levels. So officially history at the primary and junior secondary levels was crammed into Social Studies. This development also was to affect history at the senior secondary levels leading to its eventual effacement unofficially.

DengXioping:

It was in the curriculum for long, though very irrelevant, but was finally officially expunged I think in the 09/10 school year.
