The objectives of the Movement as propounded initially by the pioneer members were:ġ. NBM of Africa has metamorphosed in the past three decades from a tertiary fraternity to a reputable Global Movement with presence in Africa, North and South America, Europe, the United Kingdom and Asia, with an estimated global membership of about One million(1,000,000) persons of diverse backgrounds. Thus its founding mantra has remained social justice and equality for all, flowing from the radical school of thought shared by the founding fathers for a more egalitarian society. Focusing on intellectual radicalism in pursuit of Pan-African struggles, the founders considered the clarion cry for the liberation of African territories under colonial rule. The NBM of Africa was birthed on the premise to check and balance the seeming nuances of inequalities and social injustices prevalent in many societies. Then, the pioneer patron of the Movement was Professor Onwuejiogwu (a Professor of History and Anthropology). They were John Okogie, Nicholas Idemudia, Tokunbo Brown, Uche Alumona, Marvel Akpoyibo, Olagungu Ojo, Gbolahon Dosunmu, Bernard Ojishua and Godwin Ehigiator.
Neo Black Movement of Africa, otherwise known as NBM is a Movement that started at the University of Benin Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, in 1977 by Nine energetic, visionary and intellectually radical undergraduates of the said University.
