COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PROTEST MOVEMENTS IN NIGERIA: FROM ABA WOMEN'S RIOT TO ENDBADGOVERNANCE
Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Nigeria has a rich history of protest movements that reflect the socio-political and economic challenges faced by the country. From historical protests such as the Aba Women's Riot of 1929 to more recent movements like the EndBadGovernance protests of 2024, these events have played crucial roles in shaping Nigeria’s political landscape. Understanding these protest movements provides valuable insights into the evolution of civil resistance and its impact on governance and societal change in Nigeria. The Aba Women's Riot, also known as the Aba Women’s War, was a significant anti-colonial protest led by women in southeastern Nigeria against British colonial policies and taxation. It represented a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s struggle for independence and social justice. In contrast, the EndBadGovernance protests emerged in 2024 as a response to contemporary issues such as economic mismanagement, rising fuel prices, and high inflation.
Comparing these protest movements involves analyzing their causes, methods, impacts, and the responses they elicited from authorities and society. This comparative study aims to highlight both the continuities and changes in the nature of protest in Nigeria, providing a comprehensive understanding of how civil resistance has evolved over time. This study focuses on comparing the Aba Women’s Riot and the EndBadGovernance protests, examining their origins, characteristics, outcomes, and their broader implications for Nigerian society and governance.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While the Aba Women's Riot and the EndBadGovernance protests are distinct in their historical contexts and causes, both represent significant moments of public dissent in Nigeria. There is a need for a comparative analysis to understand how protest movements have evolved in Nigeria, how they address different grievances, and how they influence political and social change.
This study seeks to address the gap in understanding the similarities and differences between these movements and their implications for Nigeria’s history and contemporary governance.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
- To compare the causes and triggers of the Aba Women's Riot and the EndBadGovernance protests.
- To analyze the methods and strategies used by participants in both protests.
- To assess the impacts and outcomes of these protests on Nigerian society and governance.
1.4 Research Questions
- What were the primary causes and triggers of the Aba Women’s Riot and the EndBadGovernance protests?
- How did the methods and strategies of the Aba Women’s Riot compare to those of the EndBadGovernance protests?
- What were the key impacts and outcomes of the Aba Women’s Riot and the EndBadGovernance protests on Nigerian society and governance?
1.5 Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it offers a comparative perspective on historical and contemporary protest movements in Nigeria. By examining the Aba Women’s Riot and the EndBadGovernance protests, the study provides insights into the evolution of civil resistance in Nigeria and its implications for social and political change. The findings are relevant for historians, political scientists, and social activists interested in understanding the dynamics of protest movements and their role in shaping national policies and societal norms.
1.6 Scope and Delimitation of the Study
