Nigerian National Rebirth

A genuine quest to re write our history

“According to the present opinion, the Yoruba are of local origin, but this opinion reflects the great influence of post-colonialism on African historiography rather than sober text-critical research. It involves the fallacious dismissal of the major traditions of provenance suggesting an origin of the ancestral Yoruba in the Near East” (Dierk Lange, Dr. Troisième Cycle (1974 Paris), Thèse d'État  (1987 Paris)

 Being a student of Nigerian history, I am of the opinion that our history as a nation was never a documentary of our own making. It was done for us by people who know next to nothing about who we are. It was done either probably for pecuniary reasons, or to derail us as a people or possibly to dehumanize and demonizes the African race.

You can best imagine my joy and bitterness when I discovered that an erudite professor of “Migration” and a non-African birth (Dr. Dierk Lange) also shares my view on the above subject.
