OverviewThis study documents a crucial dimension of the resistance of Nigerian civil society to a repressive and monumentally corrupt military state n the late 1980s and 1990s in Nigeria. It captures the tensions and contradictions between a pliant section of the media, which sought to legistimise the state and a critical section of the same media, which in alliance with radical civil society, invented rebellious outlets to carry on the struggle against dictatorship. The study seeks to make fresh departures by documenting not only the role of the national media in throes of democratic struggle, but that of the international media whose role was influential in the years studied. Finally the report offers empirical proof of the mechanisms by which a vibrant civil society can curb the ravages of a predatory state in an African country.
