The main reason why history was removed from the Nigerian school curriculum. I weep for the youths of our nation

Lies,lies all over since independence. Nigeria as a nation sef na lie.

IS THIS ABOUT BUHARI?

The only thing I can say in this situation is that Buhari is to blame.

Lets all be reminded of history and its facts and NOT follow what "this or "that person said

History of Nigeria

This one always getting erection over Biafra matter. They should kuku make him ipob spokesperson....

well Gowon can keep lying. God will continue to punish his pple for his sins.

Not being prepared has always been part of the northern Nigeria. Gowon going for such an important meeting did not have anything to contribute. Ojukwu wrote something on pink paper. Gowon came back and was having fever that is the reason why he could not let Nigerians know the decision at Aburi.

Buhari was contesting for election for a period of 16 years. When he got the position, for a period of 6 months he could not form his carbinate. After over 2 years, the economy is in shamble.

Foolishness of the north is the problem of Nigeria.

Look at them attacking FFK just because they have no counter- argument that Gowon caused the war by reneging on the Aburi agreement.

Mouth like fowl yansh, head like basket.

Guyman02:
Even the Ghanaian president Lt.-General J.A. Ankrah who precided over the Aburi meeting wondered why Gowon reneged on the agreement. Some officers with Gowon blamed the Late Prince Akenzua who was the immediate past Oba of Benin and who was Super Permanent Secretary then in Lagos of being among the group that advised Gowon not to implement the accord.

I wonder if Gowon now wants to rewrite history after several years of his silence on this issue, Gowon was too young then to take rationale decisions even though he was the imposed Head of State and depended on people like Awolowo for advise on critical issues

Now we know the reason why History was removed from our curriculum

God bless you for this objective analysis

FarahAideed:
But w must not forget the the pressure came from northern officers like Buhari who put pressure on Gowon to ditch the Aburi accord

How do you know this?

Reference your claim biko.

Who made FFK the spokesman for Igbo renaissance? We can speak for ourselves, we don't need anyone to use the Igbo question to gain non-existent identity

FFK..When my issue with you will start is if/when you run after these your utterances cause the war you so desperately seek. I go sure summon all the gods on your behalf!

what is ffk's business? unless he has the video of what actually transpired the guy should keep shut. You can't easily counter what transpired in a meeting if you were not there physically or have a video reference.

Ye ye dey smell..I still wonder how and why Bianca On uh opened her legs for this animal

FFK was probably 7 years old at the time.

I guess, he had informants at the meetings that took place.

Or maybe he simply read a few memoirs so he could deduce what the truth is.

There are many memoirs out there and the truth is well-known.

Only Col. Katsina of the North kinda disagreed with the Accord from the beginning. The late Oba of Benin, Oba Erediauwa was among those at Aburi. As the permanent secretary of the cabinet office (the bureaucracy that ran FG seat of power then). It is in his memoir too.

Gowon was simply ill-prepared. While Oxford-educated Ojukwu was meticulously prepared. The Cambridge-educated Prince Solomon Akenzua (later Oba Erediauwa) could see it clearly. Ojukwu ambushed and floored Gowon cleanly.

All the Southern military governors as members of SMC who went to Aburi with Gowon to negotiate liked the accord because it gave them more power. Only Katsina was unhappy about the decentralisation of power it meant.

But when crucial decisions were to be taken, the well-educated civil servants that had years of experience in colonial civil service were asked to leave the room. Only to return and be given minutes of decisions reached. The FG civil servants would each time be horrified by the sheer amateurism of Jack Gowon.

By the time the Accord was to be officially ratified in an FG-Biafra meeting in the then Ultra-modern conference hall of NIFOR HQ near Benin City, Gowon under pressure from the North had realised his error in Aburi. They came with a watered-down version.

Meanwhile Igbo/Anioma sources in Midwest/FG already knew the content of the new FG version. So Ojukwu despite visiting Benin a day or so earlier refused to attend NIFOR meeting. Gowon & FG waited in vain and returned to Lagos.
So the war became inevitable.

Ghana govt has never disputed the Aburi Accord version that Ojukwu released.

Gowon was just too young & inexperienced.

Gen. Femi Ogundipe who was 10 years older than Gowon and far senior in the military, should have become HoS as deputy to Ironsi and would have handled the crisis far better. In fact Ojukwu was partly angered by sidelining of Ogundipe for Gowon to be HoS.

History is all there to read and learn.

were you in the meeting, how do you know he is lying?

Kettle calling pot black
I have never seen you comment on how to make Odua great again.
Only see you on anti/pro Igbo,Biafra,Ipob and Ojukwu thread.

Nice one

This point of reasoning of yours is exactly what Nigeria's politicians were banking on when they proscribed the study of history in schools.

They needed folks such as you to be ignorant, rudderless, without a focus. I'm very sure that FFK had a very good history teacher as well as textbooks when he was in secondary school. If he were not even born by that time the Aburi meeting took place, he would read about it in historical texts.

You obviously have never read any authoritative history book of your country, and because of that, you think everyone else ought to be ignorant??

I thank you for this exposé. Little kids on here with internet who couldn't even wipe their asses properly needed to be schooled. That one you quoted up there happened to be one of them.
That's the damage the discontinuation of history lessons in school has caused.

They don't ever read. They can't even make independent researches on their own. Such is the new subnormal and metally deficient generation the country keeps churning out.

Nice one

.

Why the insult? Can't you just be objective? What do you know about History of Nigeria? This is why they removed History from your Curriculum, they want you to believe any poo they sell. Read and learn and stop being a child...my 25cent.

U talk like a slowpoke

This is so true. Gowon reneging from the Aburi accord was what led to the civil war.

Okuda:


then you failed to read what transpired at Aburi. If not, you would not type this trash.

See comment...... english comprehension is your problem bros, and you call person write up trash.... illiteracy is a disease.

Nice summary, but you assume that the guy has the capacity to read and the willingness to learn.
