You haven't counterd the Op in any way.

Is History banned today?

Since 2019, who banned it before that time?

But all you folks carry it on your head like gala shouting history has been banned.

Lol

Another ignorant young chap

FG sets the curriculum and subjects to be tutored

During the Awolowo days they had history as a subject, during the Shagari days they had social studies and introtech, during Obasanjo's days they have interscience, during Jonathans time they had civic education, Buhari's tenure brought back history and repealed CRK/ IRS

So is that now clear to you that different regime and it's Educational policy determine subjects being taught

When I read online that the federal government banned the teaching of History in schools because it didn't want Igbos to read about the Nigerian Civil War, I believed it hook, line and sinker, even though I am a northerner.

I little bit of research would have made me realized the truth, but I was ignorant. I believed what other people said without finding out if they were right or wrong.

A school I was recently employed to teach Computer Studies wrote NECO exam, and the subject was History. I felt so stupid when I saw the question paper. If the government banned history, why is NECO, a government examination body allowing people to write History?

What I noticed over the years is that students don't like history because the subject is bulky. There are lots of dates and events to cram in history, and most students don't want to stress their brains.

I asked around today, and I realized that even though my school doesn't offer History as a subject, other schools do. Students from other schools that didn't have a NECO center, registered to write the exam in mine.

From the look of things, it is up to schools to decide if they want to offer history as a subject or not. This has got me thinking. What other lies have I been believing?

U claimed to b a teacher yet u din't deem it fit to do a little research on the subject matter b4 creating this topic; nd the mode that sent this to front page whose responsibility is to do a background check on topics b4 endorsing them failed in his/her job.

If u had done a little research u wuld hv known that 'history" as a subject was re-introduced in 2019.

LegalWolf:
Looool, where did you get these spurious claims about the Jihad? Who told you there was an invasion from futa jallon? I think you need to read the history books more and be less biased

Bro, that guy is on point and I think he's a good Historian.
As a student of History/international studies, I can boldly tell you the guy is accurately on point.


You need research.

Federal Ministry of Education sets school curriculum and subjects... And it was only 2019 history was re added

Don't mind them, even the stupid biased moderator that rushed it to front-page.
Like r most events that happened in Nigeria, just know that in few years to come , they will rewrite everything and claim that history was never banned.

Here is the exam questions for history 2021, reach me for your neco past questions

Brother, I am a lawyer but equally grounded in history. The family of Usman Danfodio and his Toronkawa clan trace their family from Futo Jallon. However, Shehu himself was born in Gobir. His parents were born in Gobir and he was a bona fide bagobir (I mean Gobir citizen). He never raised an army from Futa jalon to conquer Gobir. In fact, and based on what I’ve read and know, I highly doubt if shehu had been to Futa Toro or Futa Jallon. There’s no recorded history to that effect and that accounts for why I said he is not getting his facts right.

Comprehension is clearly your problem here.

NLders are quick to say history is banned, history has been banned...
OP cleared the way that it is not banned today.
What new thing have you said?

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, on Thursday, faulted the removal of history subject school curriculum in Nigeria.

The governor, who spoke in Makurdi at ‘Media Week and Communications Day 2021’ organized by the Directorate of Social Communications, Catholic Diocese of Makurdi, said the removal would prevent posterity from having knowledge of important events in the country.

According to him, if the Federal Government fails to restore the subject, the state government would initiate law to ensure it is taught in Benue schools.

The governor said: “Removing the subject History from the country’s school curriculum is an evil agenda to prevent the young generation from knowing their past.

“Even if Nigeria won’t restore the study of history to the school curriculum, we in Benue will initiate a legislation to make history a compulsory subject in schools in the state.

“Our children need to know how their forefathers lived on this land hundreds of years ago. Our children need to know what took place at Ushongo Hills in 1804 and why this land and our people were not conquered till this

No history so why ban

Guyman02:
You didn't know when the current Ministry of Education announced the restoration of History in schools following public outcry over the years but the curriculum is well diluted history without key historical events.
A History curriculum without substance, did you see anywhere in that thing how Alimi deceived Afonja who was garrison commander of the Alaafin, killed him and appointed himself as Emir of Ilorin or how Tiv Warriors ended the Jihad led by Uthman Dan Fodio in 1804?
Did they teach you how Gowon reneged on the Aburi Accord which partly led to the civil war or the counter coup of 1966?
Did they teach you how the Fulani jihadists came from Futa Jalon and took over Gobir (now called Sokoto) from the indigenous Hausa people under the guise of spreading Islam installing a Sultan who claims to be the head of Nigeria's Muslim population including Muslims in the South West?

oga aburi accord was discussed as part of the reason why Nigeria civil war was fought.....and the others you study

charlisco:
Here is the exam questions for history 2021, reach me for your neco past questions

Although I still agree that the curriculum should be reviewed.... let's talk about the dying reading culture in our schools..... what i posted is not even the comprehensive history outline

Mustiboy:
Most Schools that offer it give you the option to choose between History and Government.


While I was in secondary school, most of my mates took Government, while a few others and I opted for History. We were only four; therefore, we had to take our classes at the History Teacher's office.

Did you regrets it?

I did same and today i'm a student of history and international relations.

You just open ya mouth waaaaaah and write nonsense

shadeyinka:
WAEC examinations are done all across West Africa. That's why the body is called West African Examination Council.

Nigeria truely banned the study of History and their excuse was that it will now be part of government AND Civic Education .

A question you should ask yourself is: How many secondary schools are offering History before and After the year of the ban.

Not every west African country is so daft as to ban the study of History in their secondary schools.

As someone who was science student, government wasn't compulsory. And Civic doesn't really go that deep into historical events.

So my knowledge of the history of Nigeria at the moment isn't all that great, it's only recently I developed an interest in the past and I search and find information online.

Ok listen up
There was history in secondary schools (at least when I sat for waec)
But the subject on the civil war is a mere brush over. It does not go into details.
If you took the history subject in a high school in USA or Canada for instance, you will be amazed at the details that will be taught regarding the wars of 1812 (Canada), the US revolutionary war, the US civil war etc.

2ndly the books that you are required to study for literature in english never include ones related to the nigerian civil war even if the author has one. For instance Elechi Amadi wrote The Concubine, he also wrote Sunset in Biafra. The Concubine is recommended reading but the Sunset in B is never recommended. Why ?

Go through that question paper and tell us how many questions there're on the Civil War topic

Your question is funny. I'm not sure who told you there was no history subjects in Nigeria. Maybe you misunderstood them or you're being mischievous, I don't know.

please post ten questions from the NECO history question paper that actually deal with The reality of Nigeria's history.

Well you haven't state your argument yet you only asked for fact which was presented to you... Or do you need more fact from ministry of education I can get it for you which states clearly that history was removed from school.

Dullard, history was banned before 2019, the ban was lifted in 2019. I don't expect an Almajiri to know anyway
