Trust me, I agree with you. It is one of the major issues we have in Nigeria, in my tribe and even in my family. We the youth, seek to learn more about our past but nothing was documented. Our history lives and dies in the memories of our ancestors which is so sad because we want to hear about the great people from our history. The intellectuals, the warriors and artists of the past are all unknown to us.
No one knows this yet, but my plan for this Christmas is to get as much of my living family members together and then start documenting all of the stories they used to tell us when we were children. I am passionate about learning about my culture and my people, so that maybe 100 years from now, someone will write about the intellectuals, warriors, linguistics, scientist, artists and so on from Nigeria.
