Nigeria Reborn: The Curriculum of Liberation
Nigeria Reborn: The Curriculum of Liberation is a revolutionary manifesto disguised as a book-an urgent, visionary call to redesign the soul of a nation through the one tool that shapes every generation: education.
For over six decades, Nigeria has inherited an educational system that was never built to empower her people. Designed by colonial powers to produce clerks and conformists-not creators or citizens-this curriculum has left millions literate but disoriented, certified but unfulfilled, schooled but not truly educated. We call it modern learning, but often, it has been cultural erasure wrapped in paper credentials.
This book is not just a critique. It is a blueprint for national transformation.
Blending narrative nonfiction, poetic insight, historical truth, and future-facing policy, Nigeria Reborn charts a bold and deeply rooted path toward a curriculum that liberates rather than replicates. With over 100 thought-provoking chapters, the book explores everything from indigenous knowledge systems and decolonial pedagogy to digital innovation, teacher dignity, and intergenerational wisdom.
Through the voices of students, teachers, artisans, elders, and visionaries, the book makes one thing clear: true development, happiness, and wealth cannot be imported. They must be designed from within-grounded in the values, languages, histories, and dreams of the people themselves.
Inside these pages, you will discover:
- A gripping history of how colonial education distorted identity and stifled local genius
- A reawakening of forgotten knowledge-from griots and midwives to proverbs and masquerades
- A new national curriculum framework built on five pillars: Identity, Service, Innovation, Environment, and Justice
- Radical proposals for transforming teacher training, textbook authorship, school architecture, and assessment models
- Strategies to connect the diaspora, harness technology for cultural empowerment, and build schools that reflect local realities
- A 12-step national action plan for community-driven implementation-LGA by LGA, student by student
Whether you are an educator, policymaker, parent, student, activist, artist, or cultural custodian, Nigeria Reborn speaks to your longing: the desire to belong to a country that sees you, values you, and prepares you for a future rooted in dignity-not dependency.
At its heart, this is a book about imagination-an unapologetic reclaiming of the right to design our own story. It's about what happens when a nation decides to stop memorizing someone else's syllabus and starts writing its own.
Provocative and poetic. Fierce and full of love. Practical yet visionary.
Nigeria Reborn: The Curriculum of Liberation is not simply asking what went wrong.
It is showing how we begin again.
This is not education reform.
This is nation rebirth.
