Let me refute that first point. The writer claim that History and Government were offered alternately. In order words, you do either of the two and not both. That's a big lie. History and Government were offered as core for Arts students. I did the two. In fact, both compliment each other.

Number 5 is actually dubious. A journalist does not know the difference between motto and national rhetoric. In God we trust is the American motto but linguistical traditions that has existed since 1800s includes, God's own country, home of the brave, land of the free, Epluribus Unum(Out of many, one), God bless America, etc. Majority of Americans would say God bless America before they ever remember "In God we trust".

The last lie about Northern money being used to fund oil exploration has generally been used by Northern politicians to confuse the whole Nigerians and I think they will definitely not be happy with Kperogi for saying the truth now angry

Cmon. Farouq Kperogi is a baruba from Kwara and he flaunts his identity with pride. Unlike me, he is not a Fulani. Yet, you still ignorantly tag him as Fulani. Won’t this hatred for us choke you to death like this?

that he is a muslim doesn't necessarily mean he's a fulani or from the north for that matter. To the best of my knowledge Farooq Kperogi is from Edo state or so but am sure he's not a northerner.

Loool. If we go by your logic, that means they’re Fulani amongst the Yoruba in Offa or the Tiv in Benue?

No. 8 is not correct.
Northern Christians Like Benue State for example resisted Islam with all they had and even killed Usman Danfodio and hence the call for the Benue Valley as a battle ground

What is his source. Why does he expect us to accept his opinion without quoting sources. There is a reason why reference citing and reference listing is part of academic writings.

Some of you are so dumb and stupid that even in the face of overwhelming facts, you still argue.

There was never a time that Sokoto's slogan was "Born to Rule".

" We were taught...". Who taught you? What if he/she taught you out of ignorance?

GeneralPula:
Alimi, the progenitor of the current ruling family in Ilorin, was an itinerant Fulani preacher in Yoruba land whom Afonja volitionally invited to Ilorin. Afonja wanted Alimi to be his spiritual guardian (or “Alfa”) to ward off what he thought were the machinations of the Alaafin of Oyo with whom he was locked in long-drawn-out supremacy battles. After settling in Ilorin, many of Alimi’s Yoruba students from different parts of Yoruba land decided to follow him to his new home.

In time, Alimi grew so popular that Afonja feared that he would eclipse him, so he asked Alimi to leave, which caused frictions.


[b]Alimi was never any fulani preacher in Yoruba land.
Afonja didn’t invite Alimi to Yoruba land. Lol spiritual guidance ma foot? Afonja himself is spiritual on his own... What a dumb thing to say..

Afonja was a warrior. He fought & won all battles. After so many conquered battles, he decided to retire from fighting. He also didn’t want any of his comrades to grow up not having any life apart from having to fight. Then he put a stop to fighting..

He was growing old..

It was after Afonja had stopped fighting battles that Alimi came to meet Afonja in ilorin. Alimi came to Ilorin as a voyager, not as if he’s been in Yoruba land before..

Alimi then told Afonja that he was an Arabic preacher, that he preaches Goodness all around - that was where he captured Afonja’s attention... (You know he’s been wanting a special life for all his comrades)..

Long story short...After Alimi had stayed as a guest in Afonja’s palace for several days, he then proposed to Afonja that he should let his comrades to come seek Arabic knowledge in his land, where Alimi came from..

Afonja’s didn’t bother to doubt him cuz he wasn’t viewing Alimi as somebody with an evil intention. His late dad appeared to him in the dream to warn him never to release his comrades but Afonja didn’t follow. He had believed he won’t be fighting anymore..

Afonja released his comrades but not all. Meanwhile Alimi also came along with some of his student’s. Alimi also decided to let some of his students to stay back at Ilorin with Afonja. Alimi left with Afonja’s men which they were all killed!

After 3 months, Alimi came with full battalion to fight Afonja - an old man with few men. He killed as much as his power can grab but he was eventually captured and got killed - before he stopped breathing, he told Alimi that the land he’s wanting to grab will never be HIS..

After he died, Alimi got the shocked of his life as people changed calling Ilorin to Ilorin-Afonja. He didn’t know how the name evolved and spread. The single name didn’t let him have full power over the land before he got killed.. Infact, I didn’t think he lived for years before getting killed.. [/b]

Afonja was the Aare Ona Kakanfo - Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff. What do you mean by “he got tired of fighting”? He was appointed to that position by his Commander in Chief - The Alaafin. If he got tired, did he resign his commission?

As an Aare, he had no power to declare war on anywhere. His duty was to fight the war declared by Alaafin. So, how could he be tired of war and still remain the military leader?

In which year was History and Government allowed to be offered together by WAEC?
I know up to 1980, they were not allowed together both by WAEC and JAMB just like Economics and Commerce

History was never removed from secondary school curriculum but it can be replaced with government.
