Nigerian nationalism

Nigerian nationalism refers to the movement aimed at achieving and promoting the political, economic, and social interests of the Nigerian people. Emerging in the early 20th century, it sought independence from British colonial rule. Key figures, like Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo, championed unity among Nigeria's diverse ethnic groups. Nationalism in Nigeria has been shaped by a desire for self-determination, cultural identity, and unity to address issues like colonialism, ethnic tensions, and socio-economic inequalities. Today, it remains relevant as Nigerians strive for national pride and development despite challenges.
