In many African countries, there are several worldviews and philosophies that inform the peoples’ way of living. These worldviews and philosophies cut into every sphere of living, ranging from inter-human communications to socio-political nuances. Ultimately, these worldviews become a characteristic for identifying the people. Africa is replete with these worldviews and philosophies, however, non stands out quite as Ubuntu does. Ubuntu, which is simply described as an African philosophy that mainly emphasises on “being self through others” is a philosophy that cuts across cultures and peoples without losing its relevance. On the other hand, Nigeria is a country torn apart by diverse cultures, religions, ethnic orientations and beliefs and as such in dire need of a unifying factor. Thus, the Ubuntu philosophy is very relevant in the Nigerian society. This paper, therefore, considers the concept "Ubuntu" as it concerns Nigeria. It highlights how the Ubuntu philosophy can be applied in the different socio-political, economic and inter-relational fields in Nigeria. Being a philosophy that portrays humanism, as is evident in the statement: “I am because we are (Ubuntu ngumuntu ngabantu), this paper explores the humanitarian features of Ubuntu and how its application can help foster unity in Nigeria. The paper, therefore, concludes that with Ubuntu, there is a practical solution to peaceful correlation in nation building and also inclusive humanism in Nigeria. The researcher, in a bid to achieve the primary purpose of the study, employs the expository analytical methods in his approach.
