, the Nobel laureate, says removing history from the Nigerian education curriculum cannot erase memories of the Biafran war.

The federal government had removed history studies from primary and secondary schools’ curriculums from the 2009/2010 academic session.Speaking about the role of memory in keeping historical experiences, the“Collective memory is the key because it is that memory which is related to the mechanisms of relating reality to whatever narrative is given to us.

“I was talking about, a notion, a passion which enters the collective memory in active life not just as a past narrative. this is what I was warning against. And we’re seeing it today.

Exactly. Removing history from school curriculum just to get at Biafra is a complete waste of effort. Biafra must be free.

💯% correct

Well said Sir.

Great words

Was that exactly why history was removed from the curriculum? What about British colonialism and colonisation of Nigeria? What about the Military aberration and coups? Could these have been also the reason history was removed? Why must it always be Biafra, Biafra and Biafra?

That part of history is already in too many places than to be erased.

They don’t know that

Every father in Igbo land has it as a duty to educate their kids about the genocide committed on us at early stage of life . I was told about the war in 1985 when I was in primary school by my mother and father . I have also pass it on to my kids . No one can erase that history !
