Nigeria is a country endowed with a lot of cultural heritages
sourced from its multicultural communities. Contemporary status of
most Nigerian cultural heritages (both material and non-material) is
best described as endangered. This paper derives from a functionalist
perspective which descriptively presents a historical,
anthropological, and archaeological account of the Nigerian cultural
heritage.
Efforts at preserving these heritages are obstructed with
daunting challenges, particularly human activities such as trafficking
and exportation of Nigerian arts, thefts and looting of museums,
vandalism, iconoclasm, Christianity, civilization, commerce, change,
and developmental projects among others. Hence, the clarion call for
its preservation due to avalanche of prospects derived from an
adequately preserved cultural heritage.
