Abstract
This article examines Nigeria’s relations and connections with the Commonwealth. It focuses on a
number of questions: why did Nigeria join the organisation at independence? What role has the
organisation played in the actualisation of Nigeria’s foreign policy objectives? What have been the
benefits of membership to Nigeria? What does Nigeria stand to benefit by maintaining its
connection with the organisation? The paper begins with a brief exploration of the origins of the
Commonwealth
