Undoing the Erosion of Patriotism: Loving Your Country Beyond Self-Interest

​Nigeria stands at a defining moment in its history, one marked by tension, conflicting narratives, and a growing sense of national disillusionment. From political divides to religious conflicts, citizens are questioning what it truly means to love their country. Recent global statements, such as the U.S. labeling Nigeria a “country of particular concern,” have further exposed how fragile our unity and national image have become.

​This event invites Nigerians from all walks of life to reflect on the erosion of patriotism, the slow fading of genuine national loyalty, and to explore how we can rebuild it beyond religion, tribe, or self-interest. It challenges us to see patriotism not as blind allegiance, but as a conscious commitment to justice, peace, and collective progress.

​Join us as we discuss how Nigerians can rediscover shared identity in a time of uncertainty, rebuild trust in our nation’s values, and rekindle the spirit of unity that transcends our differences.
