Teaching the importance of Geography to my Son in Our Homeschool

It's very funny to see that some university students of History and International Studies doesn't know geographical locations in Africa. I invigilated an exam two months ago where students were asked to write the countries in Africa and their capitals. I watched a student listed Belgium as a country in Africa, another wrote Haiti. What even amazed me was the fact that they're students of international studies. International studies without knowing the geographical locations of the world is actually useless. Africa is their continent and they don't know the countries that make up Africa is the highest level of insanity. To avert this, I've deliberately decided to teach my son the importance of geography and also knowing places both in Nigeria, Africa and the entire world. With this am sure that my son will answer any questions that arise from geography. Greetings from @salvadornkpara.

Geography as well as history is very important to Nigerians and to help my child understand geographical features at this tender age is my priority. Like the holy bible says train up a child in the way he should go and when he's old he'll not depart from it. Thanks for reading my post.
