Prehistory: BASIC NIGERIAN HISTORY #1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- In this episode of BNH (Basic Nigerian History), Dr Catel discusses the first human habitation in the areas that became Nigeria before anything was written down. He also investigates agricultural techniques and craftsmanship that occurred as well as the various different societies that developed.
BNH is going to be like a crash course on Nigerian history, but along the way will also touch on other parts of West African history. This episode focuses on pre-history content, iron-working, leatherworking etc.

I love this its unique
But 23 PhDs boss man in which fields though
@@Bames007 I think that was a joke. Nobody has 23 PhD's.
What is Dr. Catel's full name? Does he teach at a university?
As a blank woman living in America... I know NOTHING about my people! That’s embarrassing!!! Thank you for doing this because there are so many people in my shoes in America that truly just want to find out who we are! Even so we may never truly know, people like you have helped us see how amazing we are! Without people like you... we’d be completely completely lost! Thank you, from your sister in America!
Check out African Ancestry as well!! It’s a DNA company who lets you know which tribes you share DNA with🙏🏿🌍
Found out about you from Twitter. Just curious Ethiopian about the history if a brother nation Nigeria. ✌️
Just found this!!!! Thank you. Trying to learn...just took my dna test and half of my dna is west African of course and the majority of that is 🇳🇬 Nigerian!!
As an African American I thank you Dr. Catel for teaching the African diaspora the history of our people.
You're doing the lord's work man, Nigerians need to know how it all started so they won't be blindly moving forward. That way we can chart our way forward.
These episodes are just what we need 🇳🇬🎉
And they're here to stay :)
Thank you so much for this. I was born in Nigeria but moved at the age of 9 and embarrassed to say I don’t know much about our history. I long to reconnect with my home land and this video series helps!
Thanks Dr Catel. GOD bless you. Don't understand why history was removed from the Nigerian school curicculum at a time our youths are struggling with identity
Well said
Thank you so much for creating these videos! As someone based in the US, our school systems rarely touch on prehistory in Africa much less in specific states and regions. Learning so much info about Nigeria is so interesting and you put things in such an easy to follow format! Thanks for all you do. Your hard work is not unnoticed!
No problem, you are very welcome 😊
Nice video.pls try and update also.the earliest human habitation in Nigeria is at ugwuele uturu in south east Nigeria. Here at ugwuele cave archeloean handex were discovered in large numbers. Though it remained unpolished but uranium studies conducted showed a radiocarbon dating of 250,000 years.
Just found I'm half Nigerian. Thanks for the information 👍
You’re welcome 😊
I love what you're doing. Subbed and shared with 20 people today. Keep us the good work x
Yes, yes, yes. At last i found a channel that tells the full history of my people . Thank you so much!
I’m from Ghana 🇬🇭 and I would say this is really accurate! 🇬🇭+🇳🇬
Yes! An African history channel, I love what you're doing.
I'm so happy to have discovered this channel.
I’m not Nigerian, but this is very very interesting to me. Thanks Mr. Dr.!
Thank you for educating me in the history of my people. This is exactly was the Nigerian in the diaspora need.
Thank you for doing this, this should be taught in secondary schools
I love your episode and I really appreciate the PROPER pronunciation of certain groups, languages, places, etc... For example, I am an American and I find it frustrating when an American tries to do a "History of Nigeria" video and says "ig - boh" when referring to Igbo (which is pronounced more like "ee-boh". I like to hear about the History of Nigeria from a Nigerian.
“It doesn’t matter, they must know how great I am” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 loool !
Excellent video Dr. Catel, keep sharing this precious information with Everyone: )
Sincerely your newest subscriber !

I think, the decentralized State were just different Kind of People who used different Langueges, had different cultures and didn't want to be ruled by anyone. And according to a different sourced traced to the British Library, the Ibibio people had already an organised system of Governance and everyone had a say in the society. They are still here today.

Is it true that modern day nigerians have the d.n.a. of ancient egyptians?
@Fire Starter , perhaps I should have wrote "proto ancient egyptians"! "africa" = "ifriqiya". Look where Ifriqiya was located and then tell me if you still consider yourself an african.
the tsetse fly was chuking everybody lol.
Azzzz in, lol
Ronu creative greeeaaaat work ....please give us the full details on the Kiriji War and u contact I.e. email or Facebook link..
Excellent channel, great videos, with nice animations. But 23 PhDs, how far, from what universities , or is it secondary school PhD.

Another comment for he algorithm
Dr Catel: If you're from a country where the leaders are bad, corrupt, there's inequality and everything is messed up...
Me in Nigeria: Oh shit.
