Is There A Nigerian Identity? What Is It? by Punchie: 12:23pm On Aug 05, 2014
As i ponder on why i am here and what this is intended to achieve, i believe lots of people who leave in the this geographical space called Nigeria ask themselves this same question. Is there a Nigerian identity? if yes what is it , has it been abused or misrepresented and can it be corrected.]
If No? then what should it really be and how can we build this identity to reflect us.

Because in my own opinion the identity crisis problem which i think we face is one we have to deal with in other to make progress as, so gentlemen and ladies lets share our thoughts with passion because this space we call Nigeria can be home for us all.

Nigeria Identity? That's not simple. An identity unites a people. Am not so sure of what unites Nigerians at the moment, but funny enough, the more I think of the question, the only answer that pops up is FOOTBALL..I don't know grin

@tizbooze very true. The question in itself is like an onion with different layers. Football yea but is for the flops we make as a team or the scandals with non-payment of monies due coaches and players...... Thinking OUT LOUD

..But what should be our identity has to be our believe in this entity call Nigeria. We are a diverse people and we have for too long lived apart. We are too conscious of our differences. We need to put aside regional perceptions and hold on to the concept of oneness.
