kikero:


Check the figures below(not as high as 500000 though)

The problem is most colonial era data for Nigeria isn't online

Since you know the figure not that high then no need posting such bogus number here.

One love comrade. Have a good day.

Whether history is taught or not ,we still can't be taught everything that happened in d past after all,history was taught while I was in secondary school & it's still being offered in higher institution but I can beat my chest that a great percentage of history graduates won't av heard of some of this things...it's all about syllabus I guess ..

No one is asking that everything be taught... That's quite unrealistic.

However, there's something called basic history, which ought to be taught at elementary and secondary school compulsorily...

Engage a school child within the school age of 10 to 15... You would be shocked or amazed that most of them don't even have a passable grasp of their nation's history, especially the events of colonialism and civil or tribal wars... This is sad!!!

Faber:
Our Government scrapped History from our school curriculum...thinking that history is all about the civil war..

As a sequel we failed to learn from History...We repeated the mistake of 1918.

We may pay for it not later but now. May God help us.

Which government scrapped history from our school curriculum? You mean you searched for history in WAEC, NECO and JAMB syllabus, and you did not find it? Maybe you wanted to take history as a subject in your Senior Secondary School and it was not available. That would be the fault of your school and not WAEC or JAMB.
It's state ministry of education that determines the curriculum of secondary schools in the states, except for unity schools, so if history is not in your states curriculum, hold your governor responsible.

Obasanjo/Yar'Adua/Goatluck scrapped History, Major General Muhammadu Buhari brought back History to the School Syllabus.

History is good ooo!I never knew d Spanish flu came to Africa & killed Blackmen too.

PericomaNwankwo:



Bros, it shows just how strong the east was back then until almagamation and subsequent fulani leadership did all they can to subdue the east.

Look at Lagos, doesn't even have 30% of the owerri population.

Surely if census is done with justness , Igbos are the largest still. No wonder a UN fact release stated that igbos are more in number than Ooduas.

the statistics really surprised me

You just a clown. Which Iran? US is in the process of making advances. The have created kits for quick testing. Data from China and Iran can't be trusted because they lie so much. US can handle their problem, worry about Nigeria.

rottennaija:
From all indicators, USA is not as mighty as it claimed and it seems they need Iran's help more than Iran needs theirs.

Retrography:


Please name the government and stop dilly-dallying.
It was GoodLuck Jonathan's Government that cancelled history... While Buhari brought it back.

Haba Bros History was reintroduced during GEJ's regime abeg stop the revisionist narrative.

Yes, the first set to undergo 6334 entered primary 1 in 1978.

That's when 6334 started.

The first set graduated from primary school in 1983 and wrote SSCE in 1988 ( between 1986 and 87 we transitioned from to a January to December school calendar from the old September to April system.
and we switched back in 1991)

Last A levels were written in 1988/9

It was Late Prof. Babs Fafunwa that implemented the 6334 system when he was education minister during Babangida's regime.

Secondary schools were supplied carpentry, furnishings e.t.c. training materials in 1986 prelude to the implementation

I witnessed it

Babatunde40:

Not we. The British Crown. They kept more accurate records in 1918 (with paper) than we do in 2020 (with computers). Which is really really sad.

Granted the 500,000 number is a projection.

Excuse sire, who created these states as at 1918?

archymacho:
The bubonic plague which killed about half of the world's population then also came from China.

The Spanish flu actually started in America. It was named Spanish flu because Spain refused to take side in world war one.

500,000 thousand people? What was the population of Nigeria in 1918?

Read. It's there ..

So, by 1919, the population of Nigeria's Northern Province was 8,615,378 and the population of the Southern Province was 9,075,560. Over the years since then the North miraculously overtook the South by a very wide margin?

500000 Nigerianz? abeg who counted it then ?and how was the number so exact?

What's the meaning of "estimated" sir?
Please read again...they didn't say exactly 500,000

jared007:
I don't think it killed up to that number in Nigeria. 500k no be beans o. 500k and my grandmum swept it under the carpet?

The figure might be correct. We were under British rule then and British were advanced enough to help with the accurate figures then. And your grandma might a toddler in the far bush, with her parents, as ancient Nigerians lives in hut in big forest closer to their farms then.

Hw old was ur grandma in 1918 (if at all she'd been born then) 102 years ago no be yesterday o

NotComplaining:


The average IQ in Nigeria is 84 out of 200... Many receive their basic education from Professor Instagram and Twitter. Dont mind verifying information, they swallow whatever crap they are given.

Where are the mass graves? Even if the history of it was removed, can they remove the graves of 500k people? Where are the oral narrations or folklore

You are the dull one here.

The effect of the Spanish Flu is well documented. Oral traditions are not reliable. If you had actually read the article, you would have seen attached statistics collected by the colonial government in the top cities of Nigeria at the time. Your own IQ is less than the Nigerian average if you are relying on oral traditions and mass graves for something that happened in the early twentieth century.

remember china runs a semi dictatorship government so the actual figures may have been suppressed from the world.
