dc.descriptionThe intention being to ensure that a rational basis and foundation were laid for what is essentially a taboo call in Nigeria.The central idea of a revolution has for long been linked with violence in Africa. And Nigeria with its long history of violent coup d’état, the civil war, and military rule, with the severally named revolutionary ruling councils, have over the years managed to create a bogey around the idea of a revolution. But I use the word revolution advisedly. It does not in any way, shape or form, promote the interest of the poor and the disadvantaged, on whose behalf I presume to speak, to call for violence, when they are not the ones who benefit from the deployment of violence, and are neither the purveyors of violence.We will discuss this point in detail in the later part of this book, when we begin to deal specifically with the issue of tactics and the reasons for the adoption of non-violence, as the only way to seek the attainment of that revolution
