Aspect of Revolution in Nigeria

About the Book

This book is a condensed body of thought, and each paragraph holds body of thought/idea that involved some meditation.

Richard, through his work, shows he is a rare breed, an unorthodox thinker who has ruffled the self-satisfied colonial and post-colonial establishment that once held his thoughts captive. The text is a tour de force setting the records straight with historicizing analysis about one of the major issues that purport to define who we are and continue to do so now, illuminating the biggest, most important challenge we face in our time.

The text is a magisterial work with impeccable and intelligible argued positions and a benchmark for nation-building. It defends with lapidary certitude the proposition that nation-building is not something that is given to someone by another; rather, it is something that can only be acquired by one’s self through self-discovery.

About the Author

The author was born in the 1960’s. Amid other transcendental influences, early weaning to Beethoven, Handel, Pachelbel and the masters, imbued him with a vision of the idealistic existence. Adolescence culturing with minds like Achebe, Soyinka, Shakespeare and several others, consolidated individuation of consciousness. The ensuing conflict between the idealistic, individuated consciousness, and the pervasive incongruity tempered by the extensive turpitude of the Nigeria existence, sparked a Revolution within. The New Age Consciousness thus cultured accounts for the author’s stern aversion for the bow-and-arrow kind of “revolution” in the African struggle; rather subscribing to the holistic Revolution, which begins with a renewing of the African consciousness onto Self Discovery of the African Identity.
