Meaning of national identity

National identity is a person’s identity or sense of belonging to one state or to one nation. It is the sense of “a nation as a cohesive whole, as represented by distinctive traditions, culture, and language. National identity may refer to the subjective feeling one shares with a group of people about a nation, regardless of one’s legal citizenship status.

National identity can be referred to as the symbols, actions, behaviour, beliefs, languages, and feelings that make people from one country different from people from other countries. It also means accepting and belonging to a country by taking part in its activities and obeying the rules and regulations of that country.

Elements of national identity

There are certain things that make it possible for people to identify themselves as members of one country or another. These include the following:

1. National anthem: This is a song that has special importance for a country. It tells the way the people feel about their country.
2. Citizenship of a nation: The citizens feel special about their nation. They enjoy certain rights and are expected to do certain things for their country.
3. Payment of taxes and dues. The people pay taxes that are used to develop their country.
4. Working to make the society better: All true citizens of a country strive towards making their country better.
5. Showing respect for national symbols: People who identify with their country show respect for the national symbols of their country. For example, in Nigeria, many offices and organizations fly the national flag always. Some have the coat of arms, the pictures of the president, and the state governor. We stand at attention when we say the national pledge and when we sing the national anthem.
