Résumé
This study examines Marginalization and the portrayal of leaders in Tanure Ojaide's The Blood of Peace and other Poems. The study tries to reveal the excruciating pain the people of Niger Delta undergo as a result of a government that is indifferent to their problems. This study also examines the complicity of the Nigerian government and the Multi National Companies as perpetrated against the people of the Niger Delta region and the revolutionary impulse of Tanure Ojaide in his attempt to question the Nigerian political system. This study examines the daunting effect of this marginalization on the people. This work is based on the hypothetical thrust that the indifference of local leaders and the foreign companies have contributed to the marginalization of the people and the destruction of the natural environment. It concludes that the political class is more concerned with its welfare than the needs of the people they are called to serve. The poet through his poems try to educate and awaken the oppressed by calling on them to unite and change the political system
