| Sumario: | This study measures the extent that Nigerians are actively involved in the political process and how much they are politically engaged either through exposure to media content, voting or community participation and membership. Thus, the paper analyses the result of part of the data collected by Afrobarometer (a non-partisan, non-partisan research and research project in Africa that measures the attitudes of citizens on democracy and governance, economy, civil society, and other topics) on civic and political participation in Nigeria in 2011/2012. The analysis was descriptive. Responses to questions are presented in percentages showing each response and an analysis of how the highest response relates to the question, and its implications. The data analyses show that although citizens appreciate democracy, civic and political participation is low in Nigeria.
