Our kids would most likely name more states in America than they can in Nigeria. They know all major landmarks in London, America, Paris and South Africa but may have never been to Olumo Rock or heard of Yankari Games Reserve. They know a lot about American Presidents but maybe only 1 or 2 Nigerian Presidents. They learn about King Henry VIII but never heard of Queen Amina of Zaria or King Jaja of Opobo.
We cannot undo the mistakes of the past but we should start now to entrench our children in our culture. 9ijakids is launching its Independence Month Challenge from October 1<sup>st</sup> with a number of new games to help kids learn about Nigeria and have a sense of pride about being Nigerian.
