is a long time of absence and it has been quite unsettling for me to be away for such a long time, even though the absence was needed. That the period happened to coincide with momentous events and developments in Nigeria and around the world made my absence from the column even more regrettable.
I am perhaps moving too quickly in my observations and thoughts in this piece and I perhaps need to proceed more cautiously and critically.
I confess: I write here as if BLM as a movement has fulfilled or is about to fulfill the full scope of its revolutionary potential. That is not quite the case. For it must be clarified that to most black people in America and around the world, BLM is separate and distinct from the global action and advocacy network that officially bears the name Black Lives Matter.
I began this piece with the claim that thanks to the intervention of the BLM, we are now in the most important pre-revolutionary moment since that anti-apartheid struggles of the 70s and 80s of the last century. Let me explain what I have in mind here as clearly as possible. Please bear in mind here that Black Lives Matter, in its most revolutionary expressions, deals with all the social, economic, political and cultural aspects of the oppression of black people worldwide.
