Abstract: The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.‖.....

Abstract: The paper examined the desired inclusions in the Nigerian secondary school geography curriculum in the face of global challenges for sustainable national development. Three research questions guided the study which adopted Ex-Post-Facto design/unstructured interviews as method of data collection based on Geography curriculum and inputs of experts. The data gathered was descriptively analyzed and presented in tables. The study findings revealed that there are essential contents of the geography curriculum that need to be taught using students' activity-based methods; that there are some other contents that need to be included and methods of studying them to re-position geography in the face of global challenges for sustainable national development. The paper revealed envisaged challenges in the study of these new inclusions and proffered solutions to mitigate them. Implications were drawn and recommendations made to make geography indeed a tool for national development.
