Adam and Eve were said to have eaten the Apple and their lives never remained the same. God, in his infinite mercies, has given us the ability to ponder over issues.
That’s a great gift!
In those days, we were taught that Mungo Park discovered River Niger. Many of us took it hook, line and sinker.
It took some revolutionary thinkers to deliver us. According to them, didn’t Park meet some folks there?
Except we want to agree those he met there are not humans due to their race.
I do believe Nigeria needs to be delivered from its current system of education that disemphasizes History.
It’s okay that we study civic education up to the senior certificate level. However, I don’t believe the syllabus is wide enough.
The syllabus must encompass stories of how Nigeria came to be and Government could be given much more emphasis. It ought to include the various roles politically influential people played and are playing.
Finally, it must include the roles played by the citizens at each point in time.
