Nigeria_1909Nigeria has removed history from its school curriculum. Official reasons Nigeria advances for expunging history as a course of study are that students are shunning it.

The country also claims the decision was necessitated by the fact that there were few jobs for history graduates, and there is dearth of history teachers.

The decision has been met with criticism with many describing the reasons as mere excuses.

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.
