Abstract

This chapter illustrates how the Ogoni leaders preached nonviolence and the Ijaw preached violence, analysing the strategies adopted by the different leaders. It is concerned with the nature of leadership within the two movements, and the ways in which the Ogoni leaders preached nonviolence and the Ijaw preached violence. Specifically, it argues that while the Ogoni are able to demonstrate one style of leadership, the Ijaw appear to have two types of leaders; one was more similar to the Ogoni-favoured nonviolence, but was then replaced by another type that was completely different and promoted violence.
