ACM10: Asari Dokubo is simply playing politics.

van bonattel:

I understand, however if what it will cost them to win with Jonathan is to admit the truth, his words are significant. More people will still confess.

I do not believe you.

Rise above hatred. Today, are you in the majority with the northerners? How many times have you had any issue with the south east people? How many of your people have the people of south east killed as northerners are doing? Who and who owns the oil well in your back yard? How many houses does northerners have in your south south? Give yourself a genuine reason for your hatred on the Igbos. Ojukwu had dictatorial tendencies because he is a soldier, same goes with Obasanjo and any military man in power. What have you gained from Nigeria after supporting them and making yourself a slave and a beggar? The oil in your back yard was used to develop north, while you stay in your polluted land and beg for 50% resource control. I challenge you to mention three ways Ojukwu used to enslave the people of south south. Just look at abuja and tell me that the money that developed abuja came from groundnut and sugar cane. Are you not ashamed that after supporting Nigeria you have nothing to show for it. The earlier you reason like a human the better for you.

Bobandgreat: Asari Dokubo is nobody's stooge. Why would he whip up sentiments with this kind of statement. Is he soliciting for Igbo vote? His brother already has it, so no need. The man is sayng what he believes in and he is not alone in that line of thought in Ijaw land.

ACM10:

Believe me, Asari Dokubo is a loner. Ijaws do not share this sentiment. An average Ijawman believes that Igbos are their problem. They will prefer to deal with northerners than Igbos. It will take another generation of education and sensitization to change this mindset of theirs. Asari Dojubo is Jonathan's stooge wh is g to whip-up sentiments to garner votes for his master. Northerners have used this strategy in the past with a measurable success. We will know in 2015 if Ijaws will succeed with the same tactics.

dayokanu:

I thought everyone could see this. When I told you your people are politically naive they start fighting

Even a 7yr old should know that Asari is just playing Politics.

Why didnt he realize this when OBj was contesting, why didnt he realize this when Yar Adua was contesting, Now he needs Ibos support for 2015 and he is going on an apology tour

Tell Asari that if Ijaws are indeed apologetic, They should support an Igboman for 2015 instead of Jonathan and see what his response would be.

You and Eziachi need to really educate these young and naive ones

slimghost:

Arrant nonsense from a toddler! How many ijaws have you interacted with to come to this silly conclusion sir? Ijaws preferring to deal with Northerners over Igbos? What happened to your brains sir?

ACM10:

Why are you massaging your d1ck on my comment? I tried my best to analyze his interview with objectivity, but you are pushing your interpretation further with tribalism. Please don't quote me next time if you can't do without insulting Igbos

ACM10:

I have interacted with,

ordinary Ijaws

mid-level government officials of Bayeslsa state, and

few top-level government officials of Bayelsa state.

Let the truth be told, Ijaws will not reciprocate goodwill gestures from Igbos. I once had a bitter argument with a mid-level government official from Bayelsa state government when he said that Igbos are taking over all the juicy positions in Jonathan's administration. His bitterness towards Igbos were palpable. He was someone that should have known better. My dear, Ijaws still sees Igbos as rivals and bitter enemy, that's why Bayelsa government has a policy of indigenisation to push the non-natives away.

The fact still remains that Asari Dokubo is playing politics ahead of 2015 election. He has every intention to keep Jonathan there inorder to ensure his continuous flow of income, afterall he is jobless. But playing politics with the emotion of Igbos is distasteful and childish. This tactics is old and tired. He should try something new.

By the way, you failed to make any intelligent rebuttal to my comment. All you did was to throw insults and tantrum.

ijaw citizen: Contrary to what Igbos have been propagatiing, no single Ijaw man sees Igbos as their problem- WE DON'T. The only conflict we have with the Igbos is that Igbos don't seem to know their boundary and as eviodent here on Nairaland, HIGHLY unreasonable when it comes to issues of the Niger Delta.

Most of them are children of the same Biafran rebel who committed all sorts of attrocities against Niger Deltans during the civil war. Most of them are just re-echoing the same sets of twisted belief of Igbo hold on Niger Delta to justify their action against Niger Deltans.

Niger Deltans were Victims first in the hands of Biafra, and later in the hands of Nigeria, Yet Igbos want Niger Deltans to apologize to them?

If there is any people who should be demanding for apology, it should be us in the core/traditional Niger Delta, yet even when we Niger Deltan have put the ugly past behind us and NEVER demanded any apology from Igbos (We simply understand they were just being their GREEDY SELVES), some modern Igbos still want to apologize for not allowing them steal ours lands.

Wonders shall never end!

Logic turned upside down- could this be how Igbos reason now?

Hugoboi:

Victor Banjo was executed by Ojukwu after the Ore misadventure for turning traitor. That is history. You either know it or you don't. It is very typical to mask your ignorance with one-liners like the above. We live and we learn

Tigerhead: I don't agree with Asari. We would have had to fight another war to free ourselves from the south easterners.

belovedaja: that fight would have been easier than the one we are fighting now.

revolt: With wht I'm seeing in GEjs govt I fink igbos are benefitting the most in appointmnts, which wouldn't be so if we had an igbo president because eerybody will shout igbo domination! We evn stand to gain more from the arrangemnt.the infinitesimal nmba of ijaw nlanders ie ijawcitizen tht oppose the SS-SE union obviously ddnt follow the georgia crises! Moreover efik ibibio will nt agree to join an ijaw dominated country. To adress the issue of landlock I dnt fink eery country faces the sea evn israel! Ijawcitizen shud stop dissn asari cos he awoke the kaima declaration alone.I knw majority of SS tribes r scared of igbo domination but the greater evil is yorob n hausa leeches wth their conservative mentality! We all need this union n yorobs will shit their pants finkn of it which explains y they're battln here like market women to kill it! Lol they haf failed. One fing remains certain igbo sons will nt grace the battle field enmass xcept we face xtermination!
