Weytin we know about nigeria or the history no go change any situation wey dey ground now, we need to dey talk about situation wey dey on ground now and how we fit help in our own way and to better the country as youth wey we be, than to talk about weytin don happen many years ago, some of those history them wey you see for current affairs and their date no be true, some na legit say e happen but the date no fit be correct.
your topic make sense but e no dey necessary to discuss all those things, I no dey discourage you on weytin you write oh, but e no really get value.

I no go even talk say the dates no correct because na wetin we come meet and learn be that, but just as @Hatchy don already talk, I think we all suppose don learn this things and as such we suppose talk talk about more important things than when car steering was changed from right hand to left hand

1. The FCT was moved from Lagos to Abuja on 12th of December 1991 by the then military head of state Gen Ibrahim Babangida, after a failed military coup to overthrow his government failed, he then thought it wise to move the office of the president from the then supreme military headquarters Dodan barracks which is located at Ikoyi Lagos to Abuja which was an already proposed territory to be the new FCT by the military government of Gen Murtala Mohammed in 1976, Gen Ibrahim Babangida contacted Julius berger to start the construction of the Aso rock, and he moved in from the Dodan barracks to the Aso rock, making him the first head of state to rule the country from the Aso rock Abuja.

Me I no just see the value of this thread. Nigerian history bawo? You fit capture everything? Abi wetin we want take am do? The one wey we learn for school no still put food for our table.

Na the corruption side we want talk about abi which part. Nigerian history go beyond heads of states or different government wey don come and go. What about their policies and how they have put Nigerian economy into this quagmire.

Na the little way to take celebrate our own country, maybe you no see the need for the thread but some other person go see the need and the benefits,

You know say
Nigeria get 6 Geo-political zones
Nigeria get 36 states
Nigeria get 774 Local government areas
Nigeria get a population of over 203,452,505 people making it the most populous black country in the world
Lagos Na the largest city for Nigeria.
Nigeria Na the highest producers of oil and gas for Africa
General Yakubu Gowon nai bin creat the first 12 states wey we get for Nigeria.

Even if e no help us now , who knows where you fit jam questions like this, maybe for interview.

Lolz..., if one keeps looking at the nature of our country, one will think of abandoning or lose interest in knowing or learning the history of the country. This is because this history may make one keep thinking about how our leaders has used their corruption to spoil our blessed country.

Goodluck Jonathan the first man from the South South Region became the president of Nigeria in 2010, which he ruled Nigeria as president till 2015. This youngest president and the most educated with a PHD degree that Nigeria has ever had. This is was a president that was loved by so many Nigerians, and after his tenure finished things began to be very tough in every part of the country. This is a president that will never be forgotten because he is different from other politicians who are in politics for their own selfish gain.

He was just fair and not that good has you have said. Late President Musa Yaradua should have been our best president so far in the recent time if not for his death. I believe he will have revived Nigeria to some level if not for his death, may his soul rest in peace.

Well op may his prefer body rest well
When people are talking about leadership I think this past late President Musa Yaradua has indicated to us the slight sweetness of what it suggests to give birth to a reasonable administrator just as you have said if not for his demise I guess we the Nigerians are not to wear we are today, Honestly speaking he was one of the best Nigerians that could ever happen to the country.

Exactly boss, this thread is needless but it's here we can just peep without noting down something here, if I may say, Nigeria history has much negativity than positivity, I said this because during the military regime I think things were a little but better compared to this era where looting has become a usual thing, people now loot for pleasure, they see government positions as a personal thing, during the military regime the refinery was functioning very well but as soon we entered into what they called democratic compensation everything changed, this stuff has been giving me a lot of concern thats why I don't like discussing anything about the history of this country.

I probably know a little about Nigeria history but what you are talking about here isn't Nigerian history but current affairs (historical events) of Nigeria though they could make up a history for Nigeria but it isn't the history itself rather occasional activities that took place.

I think president umaru Musa yaradua was a good president but because of death he didn't last long on the seat . President Goodluck Jonathan was a good president but what really made him not to perform well was that during his time as a president he had many challenges, so many enemies from the opposition who were fighting him, this was why President Goodluck Jonathan didn't do much better as the country's president.

Goodluck Jonathan was a good president, but Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was the man of the people, some consider him as the best president Nigeria has ever produced, and I personally I will choose Musa Yar'Adua over Goodluck Jonathan, but that doesn't take away the fact that Jonathan was a good president too,

You know say
The Central Bank of Nigeria been open on the 1st of July 1959 under the colonial government with Mr Roy Pentelow Fenton as the first governor.

First ENDSARS protest among Nigerian youths was carried out on 2020, October 8. With the aim for a total revolution to change the old leadership and restore all the fall sectors, especially with police harassments and brutality yet their dreams wasn't achieved rather the so called government were the people who sent military personnel to open fire to clear the youth who were fighting for their rights/freedom we lost innocent souls.

Naija Na all of us business, even when the country no treat us well , Na still our country, so as a patriotic citizen you gats carry your country for head, this Naija wey you see so Na person spoil am , and Na still person fit still build am make am a better country, forget all this old men wey dey office, we need a better Nigeria, because if Naija no better or maybe Naija dey at war With any country you and me no go get the peaceful atmosphere to relax come enter forum chat, you go dey run here and there, Naija they the way em dey because everybody feel say to carry Naija for head positively Na scam, abeg make we change that mentality and celebrate our country, atleast starting with the history of our Heroes past.

I also have some interesting histories of our country that I will love to share with us here. Some of which will rekindle our love for the country we used to have and how things have degenerated today.

An example of this interesting history is in our currency. Our Kobo and our Naira. In 1976, that's around 48 years ago, 75 Kobos back then used to be exchanged with 1 British Pounds Sterling whereas 60 Kobos was exchanged for a dollar then. Here we are not even talking about a Naira. Today, a dollar has turned to an equivalent of 1,000 naira.

There also live a time, where as a Nigerian holding our own passport, you do not need to apply for visa I.e Visa-free to travel to the United Kingdom. But today, our passport is so weak to the point that country like Rwanda and other part of Africa, have stronger passports than the supposed, giant of Africa.

In 1965 Cocoa House in the city of Ibadan, which is the capital of OYO state in Nigeria was the tallest building in Africa, now there are other edifices and bigger structures more than we can count.

There are so many more interesting history of Nigeria that we can talk about here but let's leave it for others who are more experience to add to our voices more.

Any Nigerian who is active here on BitcoinTalk can read and write properly. that means he or she passed through primary or secondary school level of education and in these levels of education, they are taught more about the history of Nigeria, culture and past historic events that took place. I can't discourage you though as it might be a nice initiative but really not necessary.
