The Arab world has for long lived with the cliché of docility before political authorities presumed to be empowered directly by Allah himself. This gave rise to a situation where there was no single democratic country in the whole of the Arab world.
Today, the Arab spring has opened the eyes of the world to it mis-reading of the situation. This paper argues that, desirable as the North African and Arab revolution is in a situation of oppression; such a revolution is not easily translatable to black Africans. It considers the mammoth of irrationalities that make it impossible for such a revolution to take place and argues that until such irrationalities are substantially erased, the fact of Africa, with its self-serving rulers will remain what it has been; depressing. The problem is in a fundamentally way philosophical. Article BY J.OBI OGUEJIOFOR NNAMDI AZIKIWE UNIVERSITY, AWKA.
