dc.description.abstractNigeria has made giant stride in the pursuance of peace and stability in Africa and indeed in the world. Nigeria no doubt in the last four decades had been ravaged with all manner of developmental difficulties such as poverty, communal conflict, corruption, bad leadership, uncommitted followership and impudent advisers. The empire of Nigeria's foreign policy is depreciating due to acute security challenges. The aim of this study is to examine the extent of depreciation in the Nigeria's foreign policy of African's centrepiece policy and proffer ways of reclaiming it to its best status. The question this paper seeks answer to is that what makes Nigeria's African centrepiece unpopular and what can be done to reclaim it back to its best status of operations? the theoretical framework of rational choice theory is adopted to show the rational behaviour of actors in decision making and the consequences of their actions. The methodology adopts process tracing and ajrobarometer secondary data to investigate and answer the questions raised. The findings revealed that Nigeria wants her state to concentrate less on other countries due to the high cost incurred and low productivity derived from the rational decision. The paper concludes that Nigeria should focus more curtailing her security challenges and recommends that Nigeria should tie her economic gifts to other African states to a concrete diplomatic feedback and at the same time, all other African states should align with Nigeria in International politics and relations so as to enjoy more political and economy largesse from Nigeria.en_US
