Gbenga Sokefun, an Author and Music Executive, emphasizes that fostering unity in Nigeria requires children to be knowledgeable about the shared history of different tribes and cultures. Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos about his new novel, ‘Adigun’, Sokefun underscores the importance of understanding history in enhancing unity among citizens. He believes that adequate knowledge of various cultural beliefs and heritages in a multi-ethnic society like Nigeria is crucial for unity and peaceful co-existence. Sokefun highlights that countries with united citizenry, such as the United Kingdom, USA, Germany, and Saudi Arabia, maintain unity because of their shared history and heritage. He advocates for the reintroduction of history into the school curriculum and encourages parents to teach their children about Nigerian history and literature consciously.
