Abstract :
The Nigeria existence from 1914 till date (2013) has been bedeviled with crises. These include negative forces of fear of domination, ethnicity, indigenization crises, militancy, kidnapping, terrorism etc which have been tampering a new dawn of One Nation, One People and One Destiny. It is against this backdrop that this paper seeks to examine various issues and challenges bedeviling unity in diversity in Nigeria’s nationhood. It critically reviews issues posed by national question with particular reference to the defective Nigerian constitution, federal structure, federal character issue, revenue allocation dislocation and Nigerian citizenship question. It further explores how to strengthen our common ideals in order to foster unity in diversity. The paper concludes by recommending among others that the issue of nationhood must be addressed within the context of true federalism, sovereign national conference, resource control and patriotic value system.
