Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. This book is a bold and urgent work of political scholarship, personal reckoning, and strategic vision. Written by an Ijaw son and diaspora intellectual, it confronts one of the most glaring paradoxes in Nigerian political life: the Ijaw people, whose lands and waters generate the vast majority of Nigeria's petroleum revenues - the economic lifeblood of a nation of over 200 million - remain among the most politically marginalized, economically impoverished, and environmentally devastated communities in the country.The book traces the arc of the Ijaw Nation from the Kaiama Declaration of 1998 through the armed militancy of the 2000s, the Presidential Amnesty Programme of 2009, and into the political crises of 2025-2026. It diagnoses what the author calls the "docility trap" - the structural cycle of protest, co-optation, and pacification that has historically neutralized Ijaw political agency - and offers a concrete roadmap for breaking out of it.The Ijaw Nation must undertake a conscious, structured, and sustained transition from reactive posturing to strategic realignment. This repositioning rests on six interlocking pillars: Construction of genuine internal unity across Ijaw dialects, communities, and political traditions. Development of independent intellectual and research capacity. A reformed strategy of political engagement at local, state, federal, and international levels. Economic self-actualization through resource ownership and diversification. Youth empowerment and political education. And Renewal of ethical, accountable, and visionary leadershipThe book argues that the period from 2023 to 2030 represents a unique and possibly irreplaceable window for strategic repositioning, driven by four converging factors: The accelerating global energy transition, which is closing the window for extracting genuine concessions from the Nigerian state. An approaching constitutional moment in Nigeria, with growing pressure for restructuring. The passing of elder statesman Pa Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, creating both a leadership vacuum and a liberating space for new institutional leadership. The political crisis in Rivers State, crystallized by Nyesom Wike's dismissal of Ijaw people as "minorities of the minorities" - a phrase that served as a clarifying and galvanizing catalystA Note from the Author"The Ijaw struggle is not about separatism. It is about dignity, justice, equity, and survival in the twenty-first century. This is a generational mandate - and it must be fulfilled." - Prof. Edward Agbai This item is printed on demand.
