If you will like to have books delivered to you anywhere else in Nigeria, please visit our konga store to make your order.Violence and threats of violence have continued to manifest and become an aspect of recurring political decimal in Nigeria since the First Republic.The remote and immediate causes of this violence have not been sufficiently examined to determine how violence may have affected the socio-economic and political life of this nation.
Violence and Politics in Nigeria seeks to fill this vacuum from its first and second editions which have been revised, with the fundamental theme of the study remaining intact.The author has expanded his case study from the political turbulence in Tiv land and Western Nigeria in the 1960s to include the Niger Delta to illustrate the themes.
This book reveals through the case studies examined that political violence is often a natural concomitant of a situation where there is fierce competition for power and a reluctance to share it, general disillusionment with the political system and relative deprivation thereby leaving no alternative but violence to those who want a change in the status quo.
