Spatio-Diversitism and Nation Building in Nigeria

Abstract

The paper takes a critical look at the lack of a  coherent philosophical tool to galvanize development in the Nigeria nation-state. Since 1914 after the almalgamation of the northern and the southern protectorate into the Nigeria nation, no concrete philosophical tool has been developed. The country is culturally diverse and spatial entities are distinct. Thus spatio-diversitism as a proposed national philosophy explore the spatial diversity of the nation to build strength on existing values of all ethnic nations of the federation. Thus the paper hopes will build inter-ethnic confidence on a robust industrial drive to attain national and regional aspirations

Keywords: spatio-diversitism, philosophy, spatiality, development
