ABSTRACT
The issue of identity is arguably the central focus of contemporary developmental necessity in Nigeria due mainly to historical and contextual reasons. While the almost inadvertent attention to the theme highlights Nigeria’s quest for development, it is a response to the exigencies of an immediate fulcrum, the attitude of many Nigerians and Nigerian leaders in real life attest to the factors that undergird identity which betrays this apparently worthy attention in this study. The approach to this study is both analytical and critical. This study reviews the import of the issue of identity in contemporary Nigeria’s development. Given the pivotal importance of recovering our lost identity as a result of slavery and colonialism it argues that there is an antithesis between the quest for identity and the neglect of the role every Nigerian must play in realizing what must be done to regain our identity if we must attain our developmental goals and aspirations.
