Abstract: This work is basically an expose of authentic existence as proposed by Jean Paul Sartre, a French philosopher, whose position gives way for people to live out their authentic self without pretense or allowing themselves to be limited by any means. This work adopted his position to bring out means through which a dying and fragile peace in Nigeria can be brought back to life. With the use of questionnaires and interviews, 600 candid respondents from all over the three major regions in Nigeria were interrogated and 60 people were interviewed. To determine the results from 600 respondents, frequency, mean scores, and percentage were employed, while thematic analysis was conducted on the interview results. The findings show the reason why peace is becoming a thing of the past among the various religions, tribes, and political affiliations in the country of Nigeria. Some of the factors of disharmony and disunity include tribalism, corruption, inferiority complex and the effect of colonial rules on the minds of the people. However, with the application of the authentic self of the African man, Nigerian people will give room for peace and unity and for cooperative existence of all irrespective of tribe, religion, or political affiliation. Keywords: authentic existence, peace, bad faith, freedom, choice, responsibility, existence
