Everyone, at one time
or another, has been
told stories about the
past. We always enjoy
listening to stories
about what our fathers and ancestors did. Men have lived on the earth for thousands of years;
over this period they
have been involved in
countless events and in
countless activities. All
over the world, things
are happening everyday. Some of these things not important; many,
however, are very
important, because
they greatly affect the
life of the place where
they occur. [The record of important events
which have taken place
in the past is what we
mean by ' history ']
Nobody can, of course,
study everything which
has take place. Indeed,
if a person lived for
over 100 years, he
could not learn half of
all the things which
have happened even in
one little village. What
we, in fact, do is to
choose and study just
the most important
events. We leave out
millions of other things
which are of every little
importance in the life
of man.
WHY SHOULD WE LEARN HISTORY?
It is a fact that many
students do not like to
study history at school.
If you love history as a
school subject, can you
tell why you like it? If
you are among the
millions of school-
children who do not like
history very much as a
study, what are your
reasons? Many students who do not
like history at school
give different reasons
for their dislike of the
subject. Some say that
the subject is too
difficult. They say that
they cannot learn lists
of events, dates,
names of person,
battles and wars. Nor
is it school-children
alone who show a
strong dislike for
history. Some people,
learned in other
subjects, seem to
dislike history. What is
the use of learning
history at all? Of what
use is the study of
events which have
taken place thousands
of years ago? What
god can it do us to
study the life stories
of people who have
died centuries ago?
Why must we study
their way of life the
kind of clothes they
wore, the food they
ate, the way their
houses were built, the
tools they used, their
way of thinking, the
battles they fought,
and so forth? These
are some of the
questions which many
adults who do not like
history often ask. They
fait to see much in use
in the study of these
things. Eg. Girls of now
a days. Of courses, to
be told simply that a
Odioko Aro Meshack
was born on such and
such a date and died in
such and such a year;
or, that the Fante
went to war against
the Asante in the last
century and that so
many thousands
people were killed; or
that, in ancient times
the people of Zaria
province in Nigeria lived
on top of hills-only
gives up the facts.
The study of history,
however, is far more
than this as we shall
see in the course of
this chapter.
