Supporting Nigeria Against Biafra was our Greatest
Mistake — Asari Dokubo
Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force
(NDPVF), Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari, late this
morning spoke about his anguish over the failure
by his people to allow the breakaway Republic of
Biafra to succeed.
Launched in 1967 by the old East under the
command of the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-
Ojukwu, Biafra was crushed three years after by
the Nigerian Government and its international
allies.
In a post on his Facebook wall around noon,
Dokubo regretted the role played by the then so
called eastern minorities in sabotaging Biafra. He
also cast his vote for an Igbo or Middle Belt
person to succeed President Goodluck Jonathan.
The post, which appears to be excerpts of a
speech delivered at a meeting of Niger Delta, Igbo
and Middle Belt groups, says thus:
"Today, if anything will stir me to fight, it is my
belief that Biafra was right. When I was growing
up, we were told a lot of things to hate Biafra.
Maybe some of us were persuaded. But the more I
grow up, the more I realize that it was the
greatest mistake we made for not allowing Biafra
to stand.
"You might not feel the pain that I feel, but if an
Igbo man does not feel the pain that I feel, I am
sorry for him. If an Urhobo man doesn't feel the
pain, I am sorry for him.
"What Ojukwu lived and died for, in the coming
years, we will see it with our eyes because of the
arrogance of a few people that were born to rule,
and everybody accepts it. When you want to talk
they say leave them alone. Why should I leave
them? If you don't bend your back, nobody will
ride you.
"For the first time in history, the divide and rule
tactics of those who have kept us down failed and
the Igbo voted more for President Jonathan than
the people of the South-South.
"Our gathering today is to bring the gathering of
the dispossessed and oppressed people of the
Middle Belt, Ndigbo people and the people of the
Niger Delta together and we are going to move
like a force.
"Let nobody be apologetic. What we want is
political power. Political power is the key to our
development and our dignity, and political power
we must own come 2015. If President Jonathan
says he is not contesting, we must hold on to the
presidency. Either an Igbo man takes it or
someone from the Middle Belt, we will continue to
hold it."

Asari,

They will call you names and insult you.
I can feel your pains too, but get these one thing straight.

Majority of us have moved on. We are no longer interested in "one" Nigeria.

We are going home to Biafra! The "Japan" of Africa.

Bros, before the brain transplanting, I will need you to tutor me on what you mean by "realistic".
It is not enough to point out that I am lying without convincing me of the truth.
You ended up wasting the space here, for without an explanation, you only made noise.

Until you convince me otherwise why I must or should remain a Nigerian, I have moved on.
Biafra is beckoning me and I can't say know, especially when Nigeria is not helping matters.

I wish you well.

Worst of all, there is no guarantee Biafra would have or will be better of.

where are the mods?
front page things

50calibre: Worst of all, there is no guarantee Biafra would have or will be better of.

We have to have a good taste of Biafra to conclude.
Let us have Biafra, after 50 years, we'll consider whether Nigeria was better.

You know what, u are right Bro√√√.

Wow someone is begging for S. eastern vote . . . If only Obj the crook was president, he would have locked up this slowpoke and toss away the keys . . . The man citizenship should be rescinded immediately . . . Playing politics with an issue as tragic as the civil war shows the depraved minds of individuals who surround the clueless oga at the top!

true talk asri dokubo.

Look at Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States... Can't you see how developed and progressive tese states are..??

That's what Biafra would have looked like.

vedaxcool: Wow someone is begging for S. eastern vote...

He'll sure get it. These folks gave him their votes when he added "Azikiwe" to his name and will give him again if he adds "Nneka" to his wife's name this time around.
