Meet A Nigerian School Teaching Nigerian Children To Be Loyal To The United States And Not Nigeria

The school you just watched teaching Nigerian children to pledge allegiance to the United States is in Owerri, southeastern Nigeria.

Pearlville School claims to promote critical thinking, but this is the exact opposite. Teaching children to recite the US national anthem and pledge loyalty to a foreign country is not education. It is ideological conditioning at the most impressionable stage of their lives.

In what world should allegiance to the United States have any place in the curriculum of a school on African soil?

What exactly are these children being taught about their own country, history, identity and responsibility as Nigerians?

This ridiculousness exposes how deeply African identity has been pushed to the margins of our education systems, while foreign cultures are treated as superior and worthy of loyalty.

It also raises serious questions about the government and education authorities that approved, ignored, or failed to stop this. A country that does not take its children's education and identity seriously cannot pretend to be serious about sovereignty.
