This is pure damage control and it's too late. Nigerians have decided already.

History Ends In Nigeria

on March 12, 2014 / in Editorial 4:01 am / Comments


HERODOTUS, the father of history, would be astounded about Nigeria’s decision to remove history from its school curriculum. Bourbons, who disappeared because they did not learn from history, are the best example of the perils of ignoring history, especially dedication to studying it.

Every human endeavour is accompanied by events, which are recorded, stored and retrieved when needed. These advance preservation of knowledge through research, references, securing information, and sustenance of cultures through generations.These, in turn, facilitate discovery of fresh facts, interpretation of old facts, reconstruction of events, resolution of conflicts through emergence of facts, advancing the process of negotiations between individuals, groups and nations. History helps us to preserve our culture and civilisation. Life without history is incomplete since sizeable parts of knowledge, information, artifacts, records, totems among others, could be lost.

Jews survived the Holocaust with history. For Africans taken into slavery, their captors deliberately wiped out their knowledge, purged them of any attachment to their culture, destroyed filial relations and created double consciousness in them.

Later study and knowledge of history enabled Africans and those in the Diaspora to reconcile with their past and rise against slavery, racism, colonialism and injustice.

Official reasons Nigeria advances for expunging history as a course of study are that students are shunning it, as there were few jobs for history graduates, and there is dearth of history teachers. These are excuses.

Nigeria’s abhorrence of history is not new. There is no official account of the Civil War. When we obliterate history, we should also destroy our artifacts, burn our museums and monuments, heritage sites and archaeological activities. A generation of Nigerians without knowledge of history would not appreciate these treasures.

How does a country proceed without a knowledge of it heroes and heroines? History is not just a study of events and dates, it provides analytical insights into social formations, anthropological developments, inventions and innovations that shape humanity.

The roles of history in governance, conflict resolutions, diplomacy and international relations, science and medical studies, technological developments, advancement of civilisations and human relations are vital.

People in knowledge enterprise struggle to eke out a living for themselves and their families because we have substituted knowledge, as embodied in history, for insatiable quest for material gains. Those who succeed in the crass race for material acquisition are society’s heroes and heroines because the sense of the past with its values of honesty, intellectual achievements, and hard work have been lost

.If we do not want to go the way of the Bourbons, we must restore the study of history in our education curriculum and make it compulsory to rescue generations of our society who cultural dilution is making rootless.

what continent do u live? Are u out of ur mind?

What are you saying ,it is not an important subjected and it as been scrapped in many schools

BraniacX:
And which party has been ruling Edo state for the past 8yrs or so? Now who is actually supporting prostitution and have their value system broken down again?

Did you get the message ?Why will some people in the society support the trafficking of women and a leader intends to tackle it and they said she was talking trash.That is not right ,the right values ,hard work is the key towards a better future.

Cchuks27:
We can argue all day about who's right and who's not but I can reassure you, come Saturday 28th March 2015, History will repeat itself on a lot if fronts.

I know it is meant to be a surprise but oh well, I'm telling you already dear, PRESIDENT GEJ, Your president will come back for another tenure to complete the good works he has started

PS don't you cry so much on that day dear and don't say I didn't tell you.

Xoxo baby

cheers then we shall see

The beauty of Democracy is people and numbers .you cannot force yourself on the Nigerian people.I will send you a message when i get the result . victory is sure

Kogi should be APC

ADAMAWA should be APC because ATIKU ,NYAKO can deliver that place

kuuljay:
rubbish!!! how can Jonathan win in Benue what an insult to my people

what is the real situation there please?

Thats really nice , few more days of fresh air

ShowYourCertificate:
The fact remains that he killed his fellow soldiers from southern Nigeria back then. The blood of those killed in cold blood will continue to haunt him.

Propaganda ,the write up did not even mention the actual general TY danjuma , re writing stories for people that dont read

Break down of the value system by PDP ,how can they support prostitution

ShowYourCertificate:
Buhari, the past will continue to haunt you. You committed many atrocities in the past. You joined the Army without certificate, you killed Igbos and Yorubas in the 1966 counter-coup. You violated human rights when you were head of state in 1984, you incited ur followers to kill corpers in Bauchi in 2011.

We have not forgotten.

He was a junior officer back then and was not at that level of authority ,it is all a lie

He knows we dont teach history in our schools and he his trying rewrite history

owobokiri:
It is funny when one frogged eyed irredeamably corrupt Tinubu becomes your anchor man for an earth shaking revolution. . Tinubu and gang are orchestrating an intr-elite scuffle to wrench out as much favour as they can from the bunch in power. Nothing has changed in terms of the quality of their character. They haven't gone through any kind of epiphany. It is still kleptomania out there. Saraki hasn't changed. Fashola is looting Lagos, Amaechi is still biulding the costliest monorail to nowhere. Mbadinuju, Atiku?? Revolution!? Common, gimme a break; there is a huge difference between a tribal grunt and the earthshaking tremors that heralds real revolutionary changes.

Tinubu remains the last man standing ,you cannot buy him ,he was a former Nadeco chief ,he labored yesterday for his political achievements. today all powerful politicians will always have stumbling blocks ,he his a hero of democracy ,Finance plays a very important role in a presidential system of government ,you cannot continue to be in the opposing side you can actually implement you own ideas by getting power.Gani fawehimi a Nigerian human right activist ,went to several jails inhaled all kinds of fumes into his body ,went to jail and defended the ordinary people,when he came out to be the president ,he did not get any vote, it i s always okay to collect the bullets with so many supporters that are very hungry and the same people will not vote because you don,t have any inducement right. which kind of thing is that. The revolution is right ,there is awareness creation ,increased political participation and above all change is coming ,please dont send the rain ,we want sunshine

shakaTheZulu:
Nope we can't and won't gamble with an old illiterate terrorist general who hardly knows the full meaning of his party apc


Never

Abati was told by court to pay Buhari for damages ,did he pay the money?Buhari is a professional solider ,he was trained in U.S,U.k,India, They learn tactics , strategy of winning wars ,you think its a joke. GEJ also made a mistake when he said he will create unemployment instead of employment .only common sense can tell you that human beings can make mistakes .

shakaTheZulu:
Gej till 2019

Buhari has nothing to offer

It will be better than the current government ,How can i vote for generator economy .If buhari does not perform we will change again

owobokiri:
You re totally right; I am going tribal. You only forgot to add that I learnt from you. Your APC is nothing but a sexy acronym for a tribal gang up between two of the biggest ethnic groups in the country against a minority president whose much vaunted shortcomings can also be seen in the tortured characters of the fake agents that populate APC. Apart from throwing around empty serialized party slogans that are riddled with base inanities while working up a mainly primordial bunch of base followers, where are the altruistic ideological backbones upon which this new Yoruba/fulani (permit my bluntness) NADECO-like uprising is based?? Southeast politicians may like money and power like one tinubu, that doesn't mean that the gate to heaven goes through bourdillion street. . When Tinubu and his slavemaster buhari were conducting their amorphous nocturnal meetings, how many SE leaders were invited? APC is waging a tribal war. It will be very wrong for anybody to pretend otherwise.

It is a revolution in the history of Nigeria ,PDP arrogantly told us they will rule for 60 years and they already have 16 years out of which we can can see with our very eyes the plundering of the nation resources .You brought in government a mercantile culture with the fostering of the unitary federalism by ironsi ,which as stayed with us,Bola Tinubu was once a senator of the federal republic and has been in the opposing side for many many many years ,and i think he studied so many things all along and became a master of game,in a revolution you need money and people.Numbers are are very important in politics so i dont know were you got the idea of gangup.The advisers of GEJ duped him of all his money and they were not giving the right strategic advise that would have assisted today.He will not see anybody again at is back when he looks back after may 29th because they pushed him towards a wrong way.

shakaTheZulu:
Buhari is a terrorist
Apc Is bokoharam
Gej till 2019

I voted for GEJ 2011 ,he openly promised electricity ,i listened to it 1million times,And i can quote him.So he duped me by collecting my vote and not doing what he promised .and he wants to come back and we dont know what he intend doing ,we are just hearing transformation and dollars

DrLee:
he will surely get votes there

magic magic magic 24

owobokiri:
There is no scortched earth policy your buhari can implement that he and his likes haven't done before. What are you going to do really? Stop infastructural developments in the SE? There is none going on there since the end of the war. Ban importation? That has been tried and igbo traders have mastered the art of circumventing that. Exclude igbo from the skewed privatisations? Kill them? You already killed 3 million and you still have them as obstinate as ever. What are you going to do really? Station a squadron of ppolicemen at every igbo mans door and prevent him from going out to 'hustle" since as long as he hustles, he will be fine.. . Jokes apart, you will be surprised at the shortage of options left unused when it comes to taming these ' sturborn' igbos. .

You are going tribal and trying to be a victim of what does not exist ,when you do business ,the political, soci economic environment should matter to you as a business man or woman .APC is politically matured than all your rantings ,i see many southeast politicians changing over to APC.Because they like money and power .So the 2019 elections will then have support from southeast.

Nope your Hopless father's brain is filled with weed

Victory is sure for normal thinking and progressive people.Your sentiments is that is name is chukuwu Azikwe nothing else.we are suffereing together and this tribal things dont mean anything

shakaTheZulu:
We will jail Buhari for all his atrocities after gej's reelection

Because Buhari is a terrorist
Apc Is bokoharam
Gej till 2019

But how come you postponed the elections and decided to defeat them in 6weeks?when you have been in power for 6 years.Do you think are brains are filled with sawdust or what?

Though seriously marginalized by the North and West, Igbos have not only just survived but they have made remarkable developments in their communities and beyond.

Igbos are not pushovers, they're strong and also very smart set of people.

We don't need the Presidency to survive, we've done that already. Even if GEJ was never the president, we will keep on surviving despite the the hate and marginalization done by the "West and North"

With President GEJ we stand

You people plotted the first coup and started the problems in Nigeria and you have been checked and now cry marginalization.The unitary federalism we practice today is still as result of your adventures.But you cry today because you failed in your plans to dominate all ethnic groups.If given a chance in Lagos you will dominate and also perform wonders.Because we have seen posters of Igbos that cannot communicate in yoruba language ,telling us he wants to be Governor.You are allowed if you are fully integrated,married and speak the language of the locals
Your business acumen as not been fully developed beyond Okeke and sons because of the same factor .you have no known world class brand despite all the business acumen.But you are always quick to throw that to us,LG electronics,Dawoo,Tata are examples from korea and India .

Cchuks27:
Well, even though, we might not be as strong but breaking away from this shit hole is a good place to start.

Don't worry, I'm sure you can live off cow milk and tomato paste and have all the food you want with your alliance with the north.

Try to erase you mind finally from the poo ,because your leaders shout Biafra every year and they get appointments for their children and then keep quiet and continue shouting the following year.You have been politically immature to fully side with PDP .The shortest way to an igbo presidency is working with other people from different nationalities for future purposes.After Buhari wins ,i will await the new slogan from you people.,i can predict the slogan ,it will be igbo presidency in 2019 or Nothing ,that will be what you will start shouting next .Even though we know GEJ is chukwu azikwe now

.

Cchuks27:
Lol. You're wrong. Israel is an even small state/country but they have like minds and they're doing remarkably very well. I believe with like minds any country or community can go further but in a country where one/two regions feel they can dominant and feed/Steal off another region and yet deny them their rights is totally unacceptable.

Do you think if the greater wealth of this country was in the North, there would be something called Nigeria today?

I don't know if you're a believer but God never makes any mistake. What is happening is meant to happen

One of the most powerful country on the face of the earth supported by All major powers ,you are comparing that to Biafra

nationwide1:
The more I try to resist the notion the more you give me the impression that you don't even know what you are talking about.

Do you know that your saint Buhari openly supported Bokoharam by standing in the way of government fighting them when he said an attack on bokoharam is an attack on the north?

With this statement of yours, you don't deserve my response again. It seems you write without thinking.

Proof?Proof? He sued the reporter and the reporter begged after ,proof it that he said that ,where ?

nationwide1:
Big country? Do you know the size of Belgium and Holland and their population?

Ordinary Boko Haram is threatening Nigeria a country of 175million people with one of the strongest armies in Africa .

nationwide1:
You began the argument against Biafran secession by mentioning big country as the reason and I cited Holland and Belgium as being small but strong and you're running away from the argument by bringing in formation of EU which is a regional body and NOT A COUNTRY.

Don't we have a AU formerly OAU which Biafrans should have had their country and be attending as a member? I'm in support of secession but your argument for northerners is just feeble.

You dont get it that your country is going to be a week state ,you cannot compare smaller countries in Europe with any small African country the influence they have is just to much and i mentioned the EU ,but you did not get that as well,you mentioned African union .Can you compare the 2 ,Libya was attacked,Ivory coast,Mali.His your own Biafra going to be heaven on earth.Continue to waste your time with Biafra sologan. Rivers,Delta,crossriver ,Akwa ibom cannot come along any more.The idea is dead

nationwide1:
You answer is partial and polarized. Did you follow the last national conference?

Do you know the issue similar event of 1967 came up and the northerners were the ones who opposed again?

Better still, the north which according to you has a lot of resources opposed resource control at the conference too. Can you give reasons for their position or did you follow the conference at all?

I was just pointing to you the potentials of that region ,because you wrote from a general perception that its a dry land.I dont have access to all the information at the conference.
