Abstract

The Nigerian child: a philosophical appraisal focuses on defining the Nigerian child. It highlighted the characteristics, concepts and appraisal of the Nigerian identity culminating to the establishment of the Nigerian identity as a ‘Being – With’. It was observed that poverty, politics, negative value system and civilization led to the loss of the Nigerian identity. It was recommended that Nigerians should re-understand themselves as ‘Being-with’ that is meant to live with others and together there will be better development.
