In fact, it is nothing but the truth that Nigeria's past and present are, unfortunately, the dictators are trying to rewrite history. Former dictator of Nigeria have continued to show such hatred towards the appearance of oral and written history and basically try to wish away all that by rewriting the country's history and their works either in the past or present.
We also hope to achieve the goal of completely erase their past actions, especially those that are harmful to the course of the nation and the people of that country.
History is defined as the study of history is the study of the past, particularly the written records of the human race but more generally including scientific and archaeological discoveries about the past.
Academically, history is the research that produced a description and analysis of recent developments of relevance to the human race. "Those who studied history as a profession are called historians, so it is right to ask that when the bulk of Nigeria to become leaders of the historians?
Recently, this tradition has been strengthened by the entry of three former dictators who ruled Nigeria from 1983 to 1999. General Mohammadu Buhari, General Ibrahim Babangida and General Abdusalami Abubakar, three of which came together after perhaps a reunion of three men united to inform Nigerians and not much less than the world that the late General Sani Abacha did not steal money from Nigeria. This event marked a clear turning point in the growth of interest in Nigeria's former leaders try to deceive or back of the hands of the immediate past history, because the country's president, Olusegun Obasanjo also made the recovery of these huge sums of money.
November 10, 1998, the government of General Abubakar Abdusalami announced to the world that his government had made a great recovery from general Sani Abacha, loot the coffers of the country, the government put at N64 billion. Nigerians greeted him and thought that money was sizably reflected in the economic development of the nation or socially used to develop the country through simple repairs or contructions roads, and perhaps the supply of hospital equipment in our hospital General, but neither was the case.
General Sani Abacha was there first, because there was Ibrahim Babangida before him as one of the first presidents of the military world, without seeing a Vice President and Gen Mohammadu Buhari was himself overthrown by Ibrahim Babangida Buhari believed that a stab in his way back back in 1985, Nigerians heard the announcement of the Abacha military leader of the just undid that the theft of his money in Nigeria through his personal friends Buhari, Babangida and Abdusalami. What a historic turning point in the life of our nation, Nigeria. Nigeria yet to complain because she knew that history was being done. Nigeria must mourn for now. Fernand Braudel wrote
"Everything must be recaptured and transferred into the general framework of history, so that despite the difficulties, the fundamental paradoxes and contradictions, it is possible respect the unity of history which is also the unity of life. " However, these apparent Historian General denies this desperate bids to rewrite the story and characters clean paint instead of trying to convince the public that the nation was now the remorse and the need for change as William L. Burton puts it "If you do not like the past, change, these leaders seem to be seeing things that everyone can not see or even imagine.
Professor Humphrey Nwosu, the June 12, 1993 electoral arbiter also just recently came out with a bang to tell what the Nigerians, including the story would not have imagined that occur at least with regard to the history of the June 12 elections in Nigeria is concerned that many people who witnessed the events are still alive Abiola secure it. This teacher will tell Nigerians that General Ibrahim Babangida was not responsible for the annulment of the election, which saw the late Chief MKO emerging as the winner of elections leaving the mother country's history to see if the teacher is always present when the elections in the country, an act to see it fall out of favor with the people of Nigeria.
They are students of history and historians never rely on this book? So many books seem to exist in this country today, written by our former leaders and political historians to find such books unreliable because they have not succeeded and do nothing other than historical facts in support of turning their acts and deeds or more precisely to correct their actions contrary to the perception of the masses. The reason behind this is not exaggeration, but that "they are persecuted for their past and their perception of the possible functions for future generations.
To fill the void made in writing and / or tried to write his own account "(Sunday Vanguard, July 13, 2008, P.42 This Professor Humphrey Nwosu's book on June 12 could suggest that most of these works can be cooked and sponsored accounts submitted to the people of Nigeria for consumption.
history as a discipline has been reduced to nothing in Nigeria courtesy of the Armed Forces and the Federal Ministry of Education some of them even studied History. It is therefore not surprising that in the country today, history means nothing to no one discipline is still the basis of the survival of any nation, because the instills discipline or topic patriotism and nationalism in the minds of the citizens of any nation. It takes the knowledge of the history of the nation for people to love their nation and give their best efforts for the survival of that nation.
Military and Federal Ministry of Education as indicated above have not left here with no stone unturned to ensure that the story is almost completely erased or completely dead in the school curriculum for young people and high schools in the country. Instead of making the study of history in particular as regards the history of the country required the military and the Ministry have decided to put it optional with the Government as a subject in secondary school . Obviously, this is the beginning of the death of the subject, as students were deliberately hatred. But in many of our schools here, teachers do not exist to teach this subject.
At the tertiary level, the teaching of history as a course is gradually lost as it has merged with international studies, international relations, diplomacy, strategic studies, etc., which means all the same, but different sounds. The proponent of this murder can be traced back to Obasanjo, in 1976 and redesigned in October 1979 the National Policy on Education, while the replacement of Social History, with studies in junior high school, while only survives as an option in the upper secondary school level (see again on Sunday Vanguard, July 13, 2008) The involvement of Obasanjo's work is the negation of the Nigerian possibility of understanding ourselves and the world.
Ironically, the same term for Obasanjo, that teachers Historical Society of Nigeria to investigate and issue recommendations to the Government on what to do Nigerians to be patriotic and nationalistic in their thoughts and nature once again. Eghagha Dr. Esperanza, Department of English, University of Lagos later wrote again recommended the restoration of history in the curriculum of the country. It remains to be done taking into account the character of Obasanjo, the then president of the country.
Although the damage caused by Obasanjo still lingers today, an appeal to go the current administration for discipline, because again as Sigmund Freud said "Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in their past." We also know that every human being wants to know what events in your country and the world at large, which certainly increases the awareness of the immediate environment and larger. Nigerians should not be included in the dark as previously thought, and once prepared by the military regime of the country continues to maintain that in writing and rewrite the books, their actions can be misunderstood or deletions to be real. We even history to better understand ourselves.
