Documenting history can provide solution to Nigeria’s challenges, says author | TheCable

Bayo Adeola, Nigerian author, has called on local writers to document the country’s history so as to preserve its values for national development.

Adeola said it was important to document the country’s history as it is important in understanding current problems for effective solutions to be proffered. “To teach history, you must first, of all, write the history. If you decide that you want to teach history tomorrow, which book will you read? Where will you find it? So, in the whole spectrum of writing history, and teaching history, I have stayed at the writing-the-history end. So, I will write it whether you teach it or not, will be a policy decision.

According to him, social media is accelerating globalisation and only stronger cultures will survive.
