Beschreibung
The book is concentrated on the period of 1990-1995 in Nigerian Politics which remains synonymous with abrupt military coups, an abortive Third Republic and the political exposal of securitizing discourse rendered to antagonists of Nigerias khakistocracy-led rule, [condemning] Nigerians to seeming perpetual purposelessness, not minding the lumpish submission to an even firmer neo-colonial grip1. Foremost, this work shall explore two disparate albeit interrelated theories with the first (1) structural-Marxist foci of internal colonialism derived from the Dependency Theory and the second (2) agency-orientated focus of the extraversion theory used to evaluate the genesis of Niger Delta-related crises. The study shall also highlight a top-down governmental framing of the crises to underpin the lowly referenced stratum of study centred on the strategic and coercive framing of extra-oil conflicts situated in the Oil Rivers of Nigeria.
