Description
Unequivocally described as unvicarious and egoistic, Metropolitan Britain has been charged with
laying the foundation of the bastardized Nigerian nation we know today. The East has grown up
conceited, self-imposing, proud and priggish; the North antediluvian, selfish, barbaric and
repugnantly jingoistic: and the West bestially dumb and self-destructive. At the end of the day, we
discover that we are all guilty of watching the fuse burn towards the gunpowder we have piled up and
on which we are all sitting complacently.
This remarkable work, Nigeria on Gunpowder, has been crafted as hormonotherapy for all Nigerians
and an exposition for citizens of the world. It is a grand panoptic relay and candid analysis of the
chronicle of events that have moulded our nation from primordial times to the present tragic moment.
The Author insists that it will be agonizing should the reactionary forces devilishly, selfishly,
obdurately and unwisely continue to refuse to see the urgency for a rebirth of the nation after the
tradition of available lodestars, that should they rather choose to sustain the disrupting status quo in
spite of all the revealing nausea it has engendered all along, we will all be propelled compulsively
towards an internecine holocaust.
Proof: Did Ahmadu Bello not threaten in 1953 to cause the North to secede? Did Yakubu Gowon not affirm in 1966 that the North would secede because “the basis of unity is no longer there”? The time is seen as now for all progressives to throw down the gauntlet even if it means putting their lives on the line because it is more noble to die, even young, a martyr than to live a perennial silent bomoaner.
Does our ‘cherished’ Nigeria deserve any but the most decisive crisis resolution? But, if the convergence point for resolution is evasive, let us bargain for the ultimate- Peace: To your tent O’Israel.
