They will now Understand that Lagos is Yoruba Aworiland and not a “no mans Land”

and that the first Oba of Lagos was Awori from Isheri Olofin and not Bini

and that Oduduwa entered into Ile Ife riding a Horse and wearing Metal Armour

and he didn’t just fall from the sky

And that the Egun are descendants of Oduduwa through the Olupopo his son

and that it was Gowon that released Awolowo from Jail in Calabar and not Ojukwu

And that it was Ojukwu who rejected food Corridors to feed his starving People

and that Majority Of Itsekiri migrated from Ijebu,Ilaje, and Owo and are not Edo

and that Yoruba Balogun Alanamu was the Ruler Of Ilorin that the British fought and replaced
with the previously already defeated Emir

Many of us were turned into impromptu Historians

Lucifer4naija:
At least the debate of who Oduduwa is to yorubas (iyoba..as edos call you guys), and who Izoduwa is to Edo people will come up again. No more myths and legends of yoruba king and supreme leader who claim to come from Mecca, from the sky with a snail and sand. Every history should be taught with facts, evidences and references not all those formulated stories of myths and legends.

As long as the Edos are concerned, the ancestral home of Yoruba king (Oduduwa) is in Edo(Idu/Igodo) Kingdom....

You cant just send a prince from somewhere to come and be a king in a strange land whereby they have their own history and traditions, probably, oduduwa could have also sent one of his sons to go and rule ibo kingdom...

BigBashiru:
The British and other colonialists lobbied for history to be removed from our schools which was all part of an attempt to erase African history and to make us believe poor kids on CNN and BBC is our history....they replaced our history with a eurocentric history that glorifies imperialists...

Why was History removed from their curriculum and which adminstration approved it? This has remained a debate.

However, in my software engineering class, my professor would always tell us that History was the most useless course to study in the university.

If you want to know the reason, pay for me for that knowledge because I spent money to go to school

FreeStuffsNG:
I remember doing History right from Primary One and it is still helpful to me till date. Whoever removed it did that generation that missed it a colossal injustice. I am happy it is coming back.

Children will now know that Oba of Benin is a direct descendant of Oranmiyan who is one of the younger children of Oduduwa. That Owu is the First child and Ooni is the spiritual Head of all the Yoruba including all the descendants of Oduduwa.

While the Bini proletariat may not be Yoruba, its royalty is Yoruba. The heads of past Oba of Bini are buried in Ile Ife and the Itsekiris are Yoruba who migrated to their present homeland in Delta state.

The attempt to review history lule and created far more problems because it was an attempt to introduce lies into our history.

We really hope this fulani regime won't distort and rewrite their own versions of nigeria's history that's just my own fears.

Let students know end sars and lekki massacre happened under buharis watch. Twitter was banned, kidnapping and terrorism plus banditry was normalized. ASUU strike went in while $$$ was dashed out to Islamic regime in Afghanistan and jeeps in Niger republic. And the list goes on and on

1.When the British left, we had history in our curriculum...well well. (They were the ones who even introduced it, and trained some of our earliest historians , people like Saburi Biobaku.)

2.The first time history was removed was in the 1970's...it was replaced with social studies which had some history. History was available as an elective in senior secondary school (there was also the History and nationalism in some universities at 100 level.)

3.The British had nothing to do with it. I doubt they even care about our education system.

Also when we left the old British 6524 system for the German influenced 6334 system in the late 1970's...them brits did not complain.

BigBashiru:


You don't know what you are talking about in your first paragraph. You don't even know how colonization works. Part of colonization is erasure of the history of the natives. The British used Indian Residential schools (where children were forcefully separated from their parents, tortured and killed if the spoke their language or participated in their culture both of which they were forbidden by the British canadian government from doing) in Canada to erase the history of the natives in Canada in addition to genocide.....they wanted to erase the history of native Canadians and native americans and they succeeded in doing that....they declared them "savages" when they arrived in Canada. After a successful colonization of Canada and USA they came to do the same in Africa.

They came to africa and declared the natives savages....that's why they said Africa is "Dark Continent" and we were in huts....its lies aimed and getting your real history erased.

So based on British record in Canada and United States, its neither true nor probable that they introduced history in Nigeria....

Viridis:

Having studied government and civic there is hardly anything you will bring up in history that I don't know

Moneyyman:
Good. Not just anyhow history ooo, but our real history.

Not the history that teachers northerners to hate southerners, or southerners to hate northerners.

Not the history that teaches us to become enemies, but to keep the country sane.

Do you think everyone are elaborate Liars like Kanu

Anyone that teaches Lies to their Children as History will suffer badly for it

Why do you think it took Germany 2 World Wars to learn their Lesson instead of Just one?

It was because they didn’t learn or let the History Of the first War to be taught Properly

Instead they were taught Propaganda

It took the complete Destruction of Germany in the Second War for their brains to be correctly reset

to understand that Germany was not going to rule Europe, but it was Europe that would rule Germany

d142475:
But why blame the FG? States had the power to introduce history in the curriculums in their respective territories, but they did not. States can provide quality curriculum for the pupils and students in addition to whatever the federal government requires. States can organize a well supported local vigilante and set up a “see something, say something” policy where citizens are enlightened to report suspicious movements. Some States have the money to buy one or two helicopters, which combs the forests in their territories once a week to check for hideouts of bandits and Fulani herdsmen, but they won’t. The State governments are the major problems we have . Our governors are worse than Buhari

Teach the children History with Truth
Dont teach history of lies and half truths. Teach them the exact way the Civil War took place. How many millions of children and women and men were gruesomely killed. Expose the root causes. You can give different accounts from both sides.
With that the future generations would not rush into war or battles or needless tribal differences. But when you lie to them for peace to reign the only peace u get is graveyard kind of peace
