Nigeria as a country has our history that brought all tribes together as one, our failure to transfer those historical accounts to the young generations at times contributes to the economic crisis affecting the nation. All part of Nigeria where living in peaceful coexistence without any intertribal difference  before the amalgametion of the southern and northern protectorates took place in 1914 by the British government, which later leads to the colonial rule and indirect governance system.

Since the amalgamation, there have been indirect conflict between all because of the amalgamation process and division of power Among then. If not for the amalgamation, there won't have been conflict among us because we all would have been independent to each other and the peaceful coexistence would have continued because there won't have been quest for superiority among us.

You are right. That amalgamation of a thing was what created the struggle for superiority that was not in existence before because now everybody is literally fighting for space in one Nigeria instead of being independent and coexist in peace through trades and other meaningful relationships.

I have a feeling that without that 1914 move maybe we would have still be leaving in peaceful coexistence, harmony and respect for our diversity and not the power tussel or bias that we are filled with today. Most times I used to sit within myself and and say maybe teaching our kids this history properly like how we used to coexist peacefully in the past would bring back that unity that exists between us before.

To me history is very important to the younger generation, i even still insist that it should be embedded continuously in our curriculum because it’s a guide to both past, present and future generations, i call history the trace of time because what history does is to tell the tale of the past either through letters or artworks and then relate the past with the present and create imaginary pictures of the future, it’s a vital tool of growth and development because if one doesn’t know the history of how something started it won’t be easy to know the current state or future plan of that thing.

We really need history, in fact most developed countries that know how important history is are investing so much to preserve it, nations like china and America go any length just to preserve history, most of the artworks i know about today like festac 77 and the portrait of Monalisa is because of history, so i really encouraged it’s continuous preservation amongst the younger generations in Nigeria so that certain knowledge won’t be lost forever. Our history is our pride, it’s who we are, it’s our cultural heritage hence let’s not treat it with kid gloves.

The main history I no our parents usually told us about the country was the slavery people go through, we don't have any important and specific history in religion because with how peaceful the country was then you will hardly understand if there was a different religion in the country but it was even now we are beginning to see religion trying to separate everybody. Unawareness of this on the youth cannot contribute to any economic crisis because the inflation and cost of things in the society wasn't because of any of this history but is our government that's responsible for those things so there is no impacting history to tell them about religion.
