Misplaced priorities by terrorists.

The "owners of Nigeria" will use whatever influence they have throughout West Africa to thwart all efforts to take their Candy away. The real billionaires have sent their first signal. lipsrsealed


The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has demanded the immediate release of Mr. Asari Dokubo, who has been in police detention in the Republic of Benin since yesterday.

“Even though Mr Asari Dokubo, along with some Niger Delta myopic and corrupt Tribal Assemblies like the Ijaw National Congress (INC), Ijaw Youth Congress (IYC), Ijaw Monitoring Group (IMG), South-South Peoples Assembly (SSPA) and Elder Edwin K Clark gloated or kept silent over Henry Okah’s setup, arrest and conviction, we will remember the role Mr Asari Dokubo had played in the unfinished struggle before he was bought off along with several others,” it said in a short statement.

It pledged not to abandon Mr. Dokubo at this time just as it will not abandon Henry, his brother Charles Okah and others who are still incarcerated.

“If diplomacy fails to prevail, we will not rule out any form of attacks on the Republic of Benin’s interests,” MEND warned.

Also today, Festus Keyamo, Dokubo’s lawyer, petitioned President Goodluck Jonathan asking for his direct intervention in ensuring the former militant’s release.

“We want to emphasise that Alhaji Dokubo-Asari, ever though a Nigerian, carries on legitimate business and has been living partly in Benin Republic for many years now. In fact, he owns houses, schools and an academy in that country,” the letter said, noting that all those places have been searched but that nothing incriminating was found.

“We think his arrest and detention is a ploy by certain forces in Nigeria in unholy alliance with the Beninoise government to keep him away as 2015 approaches,” the lawyer said

ndu chucks and his Fulani annihilist mentality,always seeing anything south-south or south-East with great suspicion!unlike your usual attitude of defending anything muslim,i guess your people do nt appreciate the fact that Asari Dokubo is a muslim,who sees issues from the perspective of an activist and nt a jihadist.A fellow Nigerian was arrested unjustly in Benin rep.and all you wish is for him to rot in jail because he does nt share thesame awkward political idea with your ilk...GEJ till 2019.

Asari and elements from SE are busy erecting camps in Yoruba backyard against 2015. Remember the Bayelsa guest house in Badia that housed foreign terrorists?

They have taken the business of sabotage out of view, they have camps in our backyard now. Strategy to win 2015 or demolish and destroy Yorubaland.

OPC has informants but our governors do not want anything to do with OPC, the only standing Army we have for counterbalance.

I have no doubt in my mind that his presence in Benin Republic is to coordinate attacks on Yorubaland.

Is a thug, Asari Dokubo now synonymous to South South and South east? Since you know that Asari was arrested unjustly, why don't you tell us his offence or just shatap.

Where was government intervention when Nigerians were executed or wrongfully arrested around the world. There is a report out that GEJ sent a Presidential jet to bring Asari to Abuja, if this is true, the President has become desperate already and will lose the goodwill of the people very quickly. A terrorist and a thug, who has disavowed being a Nigerian, is now being treated as a diplomat - wonders shall never end.

nigeria is very much breeding mediocrity. If not, why will a group in a nation threaten another sovereign nation if not mediocrity?

For now, MEND only exists on paper. There are still criminals scattered all over the N'Delta waterways,but MEND does not exist at the moment. It's just a guy who has access to a laptop or an ipad churning out those statements. The only time they 'll regroup is when power goes to any other zone,just like Boko Haram is giving Goodluck Jonathan sleepless nights right now

The Ijaws will never do any tin.
It was an Ijaw man (Isaac Boro) dat made it possible for Nigerian troops to invade Biafra territories.
If history will teach yu any tin, Biafrans were advancing into ur territories and yu peeps were scared n running away.

Yu hv de gut to open ur loud mouth n spew rubbish about ma peeps.

Why are we so talented at making a case out of an obviously no case? If he was properly detained by the laws of the country, then, my dear MEND, there is nothing you can do.

Benin, though small, is not Nigeria!

A word for those with ears.
