OCHENDO - An African Journal of Innovative Studies (OAAJIS) (Vol. 4 No. 4, 2023) NDIGBO AND NIGERIAN NATIONHOOD: SEARCHING FOR THE DEFINITIONAL INDICES OF UNCOMMON PATRIOTISM Author(s): Jude Ifeanyichukwu Onebunne, PhD

ABSTRACT

Nigeria remains a country of multifaceted nations. Among these major nations or rather the ethnic kingdoms or tribal groups and nationals in Nigeria as Ndiyoruba, Ndihausa and or Ndifulani nations, Ndigbo nation, unfortunately, stands out vituperatively in the midst of and very close to the complex national indices for true Nigerians. That is, Ndigbo are the most significant patriots among other members of Nigerian nations. The entity referred to Nigeria as such, in her true meaning and authentic understanding, exists by the forceful amalgamation properly acknowledged as the annexation of nations or protectorates. Using the method of critical exposition, the researcher reiterates that Ndigbo as a national cum political entity in Nigeria is very much interested in the continued existence of Nigeria their country as well as a country of nations. That is to say, Ndigbo characteristically known for their ubiquitous lifestyle and gumptious spirit remain the genuine symbols of true citizens of Nigeria in their gypsy-tic ordination, versatile orientation and influencing enterprise.
