IMAliyu:
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.

You are correct
Kanem Borno Empire
Oyo Empire
Benin Empire
Ashanti empire etc is absent.

And we haven't even talked about the Aburi Meeting and the Nigerian Civil war

If only this OP had the common sense to check Google before posting this thing here

But common sense is not common.

fenibak:
Pure lies from the pit of hell and if the fulanis wanted us to learn history why didn't they make it compulsory like pantami is making nin compulsory.

I would have started supporting biafra since when I was in primary school because Nigeria is a scam.

Imagine what I have learnt from Nigerian history myself, I discovered the fulani pattern. Nigeria is dead

Look at the father of Nigerian Bigotry in the video

Jerryherd:
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days they have interscience, during Jonathans time they had civic education, Buhari's tenure brought back history and repealed CRK/ IRS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

Repealed CRK/IRK? Where are you guys getting this information? My school employed two CRS teachers last week. Schools all over the north still offer CRS and IRS. Where did you get the information that Buhari repealed CRS/IRS?

You guys never cease to amaze me.

the TWO HOLY BOOKS


are filled with history of the past people

their mistakes, errors and good achievements


for us to learn from it

you can learn from the past to correct your present and make the right choices for the future


OBASANJO once talked about backward integration for NIGERIA,

all the problems we are facing now has all happened before

THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS







HAVE LEARNED?
#ITISWELL!

Guyman02:
You didn't know when the current Ministry of Education announced the restoration of History in schools in 2019 following public outcry over the years but the curriculum is a well diluted history without key historical events.
I wonder how ignorant and lame posts keep making FP here, Seun needs to reshuffle his Mods and bring real informed intellectuals, this site is going down.

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?

Thanks. I was abt calling him to order. U were a graduate of Nigerian higher institution, proceeded to teach without knowing when we all cried and they restored a shallow history subject.

What's the need of History in the curriculum when everyone that's supposed to be in the history are still the ones rulling ?

Bossman25:
Thanks so much for the insight.
The Government has purposely distroyed the Curriculum.
The new subjects brought in the scheme of things like example the glorified Civic Education which to me is totally baseless and ought to be scrapped and other subjects like Marketing? Biology or Agric Science which shouldn't be paired. No Further Maths, no Technical Drawing. Commercial student are now worse. It's either Commerce or Accounting? Scrapped Government which is more detailed than the Civic Education.
The subject combinations are all a mess. I am still baffled by the difference between Computer science and Data Processing?
That's why History was left out because the confused pattern of the subject combinations.

My bro in science is taking Book Keeping, still trying to see how the content is different from Account, those in commercial class are taking both; Book Keeping and Account

Mynd44:
Actually, the only folks that believe it are folks that want to believe it or just want to be anti-government (irrespective of president)

The history taught in Nigerian schools, talks about things that happened everywhere else, apart from that which happened in Nigeria.. No mention of the genocide of the 67-70

Honestly, how possibly can you progress in life with this kind of mindset?

Hatred has occupied your sense of reasoning so much that you can't have a progressive thought.

I just pity the children you will put through your failure in life...shey you go tell them sey na fulani no let you progress for life?

Going or has since gone down
Just looking at the opening of this thread the OP was busy saying igbos were lying

BinamRex:
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?

Yeah, with a brain like yours, you'll forever remain a secondary school teacher. Don't go and learn software development as a computer science student, Igbos this Igbos that.

I wrote history exam in my waec.. and this previous jamb i wrote history too.. government did not ban anything.. it's just that some students are dumb they believe history is hard but unbeknownst to them History is the easiest and most simple subject.. it took me 43 minutes to finish my history exam in waec and i got B2 in it.. history is a simple subject but not really for dullards..

Vicilo:
Thanks. I was abt calling him to order. U were a graduate of Nigerian higher institution, proceeded to teach without knowing when we all cried and they restored a shallow history subject.

The woman who taught me history in secondary school was the one who taught denrele edun and it was raw history not the diluted one.. we were taught about neo colonialism, aba riot the origin of all tribs, yoruba in the 19ths, slave trade, Nigerian civil war.. many more like that.. pure undiluted history..

If you are a teacher or you planned to be one, you need to work hard.

My understanding that the government ban history is, no acceptable Nigeria history developed by the FG (Textbook) that should be compulsory for all pupils from primary 6 to JSS 2, should be like social study. no NECO or WAEC is needed.

wellmax:
Can you back up this claim with facts?

This is how fake news is spread, someone just conjures a lie, types it n SM, no facts, no evidence, just vibes.

That monicker you quoted is actually correct. Obasanjo technically expunged History from our curriculum but the present government restored it. Details below:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ripplesnigeria.com/buhari-revokes-obasanjos-policy-returns-history-to-schools-curriculum/%3famp

toffyz:
Of course, it was never banned

Majority of students and schools just don't offer it anymore.

But there was never an official statement on the ban.

Actually, it was banned but later reintroduced about 2or 3 years ago

You are part of the reason why History should be scrapped. History should be used to correct and avoid past mistakes not to fuel another one. Historians should be objective and not subjective like you sound.

You don't get it.
The new subjects has allowed for restructure in the waec subjects science, commerical and art students take.
Example, Subjects like Technical drawing, Further Maths, for science have been abolished. I saw in a school it's either Biology or Agric for science.
Commercial subjects it's either Accounting or Commerce. During my time I did both in waec.
Agric or Biology. Data processing, even marketing! No government. I did government even used it to pass jamb, does that did commerce could not read Economics in the University...
Art class it's either History or Government.
Can you see the discrepancy in the whole thing.

My bro in science is taking Book Keeping, still trying to see how the content is different from Account, those in commercial class are taking both; Book Keeping and Account

Sorry my earlier quote was for someone else.
Thanks
