From all indicators, USA is not as mighty as it claimed and it seems they need Iran's help more than Iran needs theirs.



US has a population of over 300 million people and has tested over a million people while Iran has a population of just over 80 million people and has been hiding their test and death figures....

You should be more concerned about Nigeria who has a population of over 200 million people but has tested less than 5k people when US with just over 300 million people has tested over 1 million........

So Onitsha was the second most populated city after Kano.

Until it was stripped of everything but it's market after the war.

City still thriving!
The war really changed things.

Most igbos in Lagos and other parts of the country would not be there today if not for that war.

How can one man change so much?

I don't think we kept accurate data at that time. I do not believe it will be up to 500,000

The most important thing is that such a pandemic happened and many people died.

If so, why didn't we take any lessons from it?

The zoo government scrapped it because they don't want this generation to know anything about Biafra or Biafran war but reverse is the case if you know you know. The rising sun will keep shinning.

You people would just be talking nonsense. Is history not part of WAEC exams?

Oga u are very far form the truth. United States has conducted more tests than any other country. They are testing everyone whether symptoms or not. We both knows if other countries do same, it will be worse.. Example Nigeria

Where are you people getting this April fool posts?

The average IQ in Nigeria is 84 out of 200... Many receive their basic education from Professor Instagram and Twitter. Dont mind verifying information, they swallow whatever crap they are given.

Where are the mass graves? Even if the history of it was removed, can they remove the graves of 500k people? Where are the oral narrations or folklore

They were still under the British rule,so chances are they would have estimated number not too far away from the right figures.

This is not true.

An oft repeated lie becomes "truth" with time?



Can you provide evidence for this claim?

History has ALWAYS been and still is part of WAEC and JAMB

In 1918-19

Southern was more populous than Northern...
Now they projected figures that made North looks like double of South in population...
It's alright...
Let the scam continue...

That was very bad. Events of the pasts bring lessons to avoid or mitigate their bad effects when they reoccur in the future.

I am worried that this Coronavirus might take us another six months to get over it. I pray it doesn't. Otherwise hunger virus will kill many before that time.

We already had a poor knowledge of our history as a nation, Buhari further worsened this by the removal of history from our curriculum




We might be in the dark ages of knowledge without knowing it undecided

History was never removed from the curriculum by Buhari..

What happened was that history was replaced with social studies when the new 6334 system took off in 1978 in primary and jss level

History was still taught to students in senior secondary school who choose it as part of their electives and is.still taught now.

Buhari was not in power in 1978 .

There was a plague that wrecked havoc in Benin before the British came. When the British finally conquered Benin, they saw so many corpses at a big burial site and they taught it was all for ritual purposes
Interesting . God knows how many of such sites have been discovered and labelled ritual sites
