Kingscee: Founder of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, has again attacked leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu
According to Vanguard, Dokunbo claimed Kanu has derailed the Biafran struggle
The agitatir, who said he’s a Biafran and believes in its struggle, maintained that the IPOB leader was not in any struggle for the restoration of Biafra.
Dokunbo said, “It gives me regret that in my life I ever associated with a person called Nnamdi Kanu. That when he was in crisis, I came out to defend him. In fact, my greatest regret is associating with Nnamdi Kanu. I can’t make peace with somebody like him. It’s a foreclosed issue because he has nothing to offer other than to derail our struggle.
“With Nnamdi Kanu, there’s no hope for Biafra. Those of us who get close to him know he’s not fighting for any Biafra. Nnamdi Kanu is just one individual in Biafra, so, we shouldn’t make him important, he’s not. He’s just like everyone one of us.
“He’s not in any struggle. Whatever spell he has cast on the Igbo will be removed very soon and their eyes will open. When he was in trouble, all of us came out to defend him because an injury to one is an injury to all. We risked our lives by speaking in support of him, for him to be released from prison and for him not to be killed.
“Now, he sees those of us who fought on his behalf for his freedom as his followers. Some of us regret ever lending our voice. We would have left him to rot in jail because he’s caused more harm to Biafra struggle than anyone else.
When asked how Kanu has caused more harm than good to the Biafra struggle, the former President of the Ijaw Youth Council said, “Listen to him! Don’t you listen to his broadcast? His insults to every Igbo person that disagrees with him? He has also extended his insults to other tribes including the Ijaw people.
“How can you bring unity to the people by abusing and attacking their leaders? Is Biafra struggle an Igbo struggle? He’s making it an Igbo struggle. The Biafra Nnamdi Kanu is pursuing will be worse than Southern Sudan if he wants to promote Igbo hegemony over and above Ijaw hegemony, Ibibio hegemony, and so on.”
fireback: one reason I don't want BIAFRA is the inclusion of south south in biafrans nation.
I support only igbo Biafra. If any igbo Brothers and siters from South South want to join they should first show interest not forcing them in. South East can do beter alone .don't tel me Asses to the sea. How many countries have Asses to the sea some of them is inside the sea but they are shithole countrys

Two prominent leaders of pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, and Aremo Olusegun Osoba, a former governor of Ogun State, on Thursday, traded words over the zoning of the 2023 presidency and whether or not the South-West should boycott the general elections.
While Adebanjo belonged to the Reuben Fasoranti-led faction of Afenifere, Osoba is a member of the faction led by the late Senator Ayo Fasanmi.
Osoba, who spoke with Daily Independent, said Adebanjo’s position that the 2023 presidency should be zoned to the South-East is wrong as the statement was his personal opinion and not the general position of Yoruba leaders.
He said the Afenifere leader had no power to take unilateral decisions on such a sensitive matter without the input of other Yoruba leaders.
Osoba, who described Adebanjo as a dictator, also said Adebanjo’s position that the South-West should boycott the 2023 presidential election due to the failure of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government to restructure the country was wrong.
According to him, while the Igbo have a right to contest for the position of the highest office in the land in 2023, the Yoruba and other Nigerians also have a right to do so.
Going down memory lane, Osoba challenged Adebanjo to tell the world where he got his boycott philosophy from, saying the late Obafemi Awolowo, whom Adebanjo claimed to be emulating, never supported the boycott of elections during his lifetime.
He said: “There are two issues that I disagree with Adebanjo on. For example, in his own dictatorial way, he says he has now zoned the 2023 presidency to the Igbo.
“I want to query him – who is he to zone the Yoruba race out of the presidential race in 2023? Who is he?
“Where did we meet as Yoruba to say that we are ceding the presidency to the Igbo?
Awolowo will not behave like that. There will be a meeting where there will be consensus.
“Of course, the Igbo have a right to contest in 2023 just as I, as a Yoruba man, also have a right to contest.
“But he (Adebanjo) has unilaterally zoned it to the Igbo. That is part of his dictatorial attitude. He is a dictator.
“Two, he says we must boycott the 2023 elections. Where did we sit down to decide that the Yoruba will boycott the 2023 elections?
“He doesn’t read history, even the history that he was part of. In 1964, he was then still in exile in Ghana.
The issue of boycott arose. The National Congress of Nigeria Citizens (NCNC) and Action Congress (AG) went into an alliance and formed the United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA).
“Overnight, they decided to boycott the election. Awolowo, who was then in Calabar prison, sent a message that we should never boycott the election.
“He said boycott is not recognised by law anywhere and that we will lose out.
“Of course, we boycotted and we lost out in the government that was formed in 1964.
“Our other wing of UPGA in the East refused to boycott and so we produced nobody in the National Assembly then. Awolowo has never been a supporter of boycotts.
“Adebanjo should give me an example of when Awolowo ever boycotted and where he (Adebanjo) got that philosophy from.
“I query him, where did we meet as Yoruba to say that we are going to boycott the 2023 election?
“Even if we boycott, other Yoruba will go into the race. The PDP Yoruba will contest, and so, who is the loser?
“If we are going to boycott, let it be that all of us sat down together, debated it, and arrived at a conclusion.
“There are two major issues that Adebanjo is preaching, which are unrealistic and which Awolowo would never have supported. Awolowo will never in his life support boycotts.”
On the way forward, Osoba, who said he had no personal issues with Adebanjo, said there is a need for the Yoruba to bring in young people to have a conversation on the way forward while elders like him and Adebanjo take the back seat.
“I have no war with him as far as I am concerned. What is paramount to me is, let us stop using insulting, abusive languages and antagonising too many people.
“Let us find a way of bringing different opinions and views to the table. In a democracy, let everybody have a say. As a journalist, that is my training.
“Ninety-five percent of what we journalists publish are opinions and views that we disagree with, but we will still go ahead and publish these views and leave the public to judge.
“That is our training. I don’t know what kind of training he has that he has no room for second opinion, third opinion or anything that does not agree with his own opinion.
“The way forward is, the Yoruba nation must come together. All the young elements must be brought in. I’m at an advanced age of 81, he is 92. At this stage, young people like you should be in the forefront.
When contacted, Adebanjo said Osoba was speaking from a position of ignorance as the issue of the 2023 presidency is not a Yoruba affair.
“He is speaking from a position of ignorance. The issue of the 2023 presidency is not a Yoruba issue, it is about nationalism. Presidency is not a Yoruba affair. That is what they don’t understand.
“We are talking of the rotation of the presidency. Osoba and his likes are so narrow-minded and unprincipled.
“It is not a question of whether Yoruba leaders sit down to discuss it or not. They are so parochial in their approach to issues.
“When we are talking of rotation of the presidency, the Yoruba have had it; the Fulani have had it; the Ijaw have had it, but the Igbo have not had it. Is that how to keep Nigeria together? He should stop talking nonsense.”
Governor Akeredolu Opens St. Jacobs’ Hotel. Story: Taiwo Adebiyi Photography: Nifemi Mejula and Francis Dare Ojo
Knowing full well that the best hospitality offered leaves a lasting impression and memories, Dubai business mogul and Chairman of Jacob Family Investment Ltd, King Babatope Jacob Abayomi Adebiyi brought a world-class hotel to the city of Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria. St. Jacobs’ Hotel, now the cynosure of all eyes in and around Alagbaka GRA, is a luxurious edifice with 45 executive rooms, 5 royal suites, 5 diplomatic suites and one presidential suite, is located in a serene environment and poised to give its lodgers utmost comfort.
The hotel, embodied in opulence, reflects the owner’s high taste and hospitality. Described by many as one of its kind in Southwest Nigeria, it is blessed with a grandeur reception, life gym, laundry, water fountain carved out of a rock, serene poolside, an exotic restaurant, exclusive lounge deluxe rooms and beautiful artistic images depicting Africa’s rich culture and nature are a few of the numerous fascinating things that are readily available to delight guests.
On Saturday, 20 September 2020, King Adebiyi hosted top officials, business tycoons, industrialists and dignitaries to the official opening of the edifice, with pervading cheers and honour in the air for him and his family.
Basking in the euphoria of the great achievement, he could not but give glory to God for the successful completion of the project which, according to him, was conceived five years ago. Shortly after, the hotel was opened by the Governor of Ondo, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) alongside the Deji of Akure, HRH Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi and the Olowa of Igbara-Oke, Oba Adefarakanmi Agbede.
The event began with an opening prayer by Pastor Dele David, followed by a welcome address by Mrs Taiwo Adebiyi, the CEO’s wife, who warmly welcomed guests and acknowledged the presence of the royal fathers and the special guest of honour, Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN). In his goodwill message, Mr Tope Ogunrinde commended the CEO’s doggedness towards the great achievement. Governor Akeredolu, a passionate advocate of industrialisation, in his speech, thanked the CEO for choosing Akure for such a laudable project as well as creating job opportunities for people. Amidst prayers and appreciation for the honour bestowed on him to open the facility. He further enlivened the facility tour with rib-cracking jokes and commendations.
Thereafter, prayers for the CEO, staff members and management were said, after which the vote of thanks was proposed by Mrs Taiwo Adebiyi.
At the exotic restaurant were guests being treated to a delicious buffet, an all-you-can-eat of both local and continental dishes.
The Deji of Akure, Oba Aladelusi in his interview with Spotlight Africa Magazine at the end of the event, applauded the Chairman of St. Jacobs’ Hotel for establishing such a laudable investment in Akure. Describing the city as a peaceful place, he encouraged Akure’s sons and daughters abroad to come home and invest in the city.
Meanwhile, a grand supermarket, salon, and restaurant are a few other features of the much-anticipated annex of the hotel currently under construction. Without a doubt, this will pave the way for a lively atmosphere engendered by the ease of shopping for residents of Alagbaka and neighbouring areas.
