The Government Didn't Ban History In Schools by BinamRex: 3:03pm On Jul 28, 2021 |
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? 51 Likes 5 Shares

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. 63 Likes 2 Shares |

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.

When the schl curriculum is filled with the story of the colonial masters/other countries instead of our story like the civil war,the conquests,the benin invasions,our arts and crafts,the British royal Niger company shenignas etc then students will keep boycotting them for govt which is it's alternative. The contents need to be revised,concise,educative and made compulsory. Knowledge of our history would have prevented a second mistake like Buhari. Btw,it was removed until 2019 when it was reintroduced. 36 Likes 3 Shares |

History should be made a compulsory subject in secondary schools. A lot of the younger generation are not even aware of the country's history and thats why we keep repeating the mistakes our parents made in the past. Electing the same people that messed us up in the past and still expecting miracles. Continuing with the killings, corruption, nepotism, and tribalism of the past and still expecting that things will change for the better. 28 Likes |

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? http://amsterdamnews.com/news/2019/jul/03/nigeria-restores-study-history-public-schoolsabsen/ 94 Likes 14 Shares |

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. 1 Like |
