"@atane: @iammissmary The system is broken. A while ago, schools expunged history from the curriculum. Sigh. http://t.co/WHatqJLCks"
"Critics have said that Nigeria's abhorrence of history is not new. There is no official account of the Civil War, reported the Vanguard newspaper, Wednesday. "When we obliterate history, we should also destroy our artifacts, burn our museums and monuments, heritage sites and archaeological activities. A generation of Nigerians without knowledge of history would not appreciate these treasures," the paper captured in an editorial.
"How does a country proceed without a knowledge of it heroes and heroines? History is not just a study of events and dates, it provides analytical insights into social formations, anthropological developments, inventions and innovations that shape humanity.
"If we do not want to go the way of the Bourbons, we must restore the study of history in our education curriculum and make it compulsory to rescue generations of our society who cultural dilution is making rootless," the publication stated.
