The Coward Called Asari Dokubo And His Empty Threats By Joe Igbokwe

Feb. 4, 2014

We live in interesting times in Nigeria today. Cowards and Villains nobody knew when it mattered most in Nigeria between 1985 and 1998 are the ones terrorizing Nigeria today. Lily-livered men without bones who could not raise a voice in the days of locusts are the ones telling us today that they are courageous and strong. Men who are women who could not stand up the way the Late Ken Sarowiwa stood up to Abacha Regime are now the common fools abusing our nationhood.

Now enter Asari Dokubo, the emergency activist, the only bold one in Nigeria, the man stronger than all the armies of Nigeria. Nigeria can never change. Some of the things we accused Northern Military leaders of doing from 1985 to 1998 are repeating itself today in Nigeria. Sectional Politics, Ethnic preoccupation, Mediocracy, Favoritism and impunity are driving leadership in Nigeria today.

When the good man, the late President Yar’ Adua was hospitalized and could not continue in office in his capacity as the president many raised their voices to call for President Jonathan to be sworn in but the coward and opportunist Asari Dokubo did not threaten fire and brimstone.Today Asari Dokubo, the school drop out has become the defender and strong pillar of the President. Asari Dokubo has been making provocative and irresponsible statements abusing everybody who do not share his ideas and sentiments. He has threatened blood shed and war times without number and yet he continues to walk the street as a free man. Others from other sections of the country have been picked up and detained for doing the same thing Asari Dokubo is doing today. Mallam El Rufai was detained in Awka for going to witness Anambra Guber elections. Mallam El Rufai was also questioned recently by SSS for saying that there maybe bloodshed if we mess up with 2015 elections.

Asari Dokubo and Chief Edwin Clark may think they are helping President Goodluck Jonathan but in actions and deeds they are creating big problems for the President.  Nigerians know that President Goodluck Jonathan has empowered Asari Dokubo, Chief Edwin Clark and others in such a way that they are now multi billionaires. The world knows that Asari Dokubo and Clark have never had it so good. No wonder both of them are now planning to set up a university each. But success is supposed to be managed. Asari Dokubo and his co-traveller Chief Edwin Clark lack the capacity and the common sense that this is the time for consultations with other Nigerians and not confrontation. Both lack the discipline to consider the feelings of other Nigerians at a time like this. One understands the politics of tribes in Nigeria very well and both have  the right to support one of their own but thinking in terms of other people is the way to go for the sake of unity, peace and harmony.
I blame the past presidents of Nigeria for depending so much on crude oil instead of developing other sectors of the economy. Japan has no oil and yet is a world power today. Singapore has no oil and yet it is one of the best countries in the world today. Nigeria can do without oil if and only if we can have a thinking and creative Leader. The world today is thinking of what is in our heads and not what is underground. Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Ford Motors, Toyota, Mercedes, Intel, Twitter, Panasonic, KIA, Hyundai e.tc. are not oil companies. Asari please take notice that the world is moving away from crude oil.
Asari Dokubo in his stupidity thinks that President Jonathan will be installed into office in 2015 by executive fiat. No sir! It is going to be decided through the ballot box and i know that politics is a game of numbers. We may have been writing Presidential election results  in the past but Asari Dokubo must put it in his head that votes will count in 2015. Everybody’s eyes are wide open now and woe betide any crook that will want to do something funny in 2015.

Again we must register into the consciousness of every Nigerian that it is not a must that every President in Nigeria must get eight years in office. The reason why elections are conducted every four years is for the electorates to have the liberty to change a bad leader or to re-elect a good leader. A leader that lacks the capacity to perform should not be re-elected.

All things considered ,there are many compelling reasons why President Jonathan may not be re-elected in 2015. One is that we have to worry about the feelings of other ethnic groups in a democracy. The unity of this country is very important. If the President is re-elected in 2015 he would have ruled for 10years in 2019. I do not think it is fair judging from the circumstances that lead to President Umaru Yar’Adua’s death. Secondly, corruption at the federal level under President Jonathan is alarming and unacceptable. Thirdly, impunity has assumed a frightening dimension under the leadership of President Jonathan. Fourthly, the inability of President Goodluck Jonathan to tackle the  problem of insecurity is threatening also. In the midst of plenty our institutions are collapsing with no end in sight. The power sector is still down.

Asari Dokubo must shut up now and hold his peace. The best he can do now is to start moving round the country with the billions President Jonathan has provided for him to canvass for votes for Jonathan. Asari Dokubo cannot continue to preach hate to the Northerners and yet still think they will vote for President Jonathan. I plead that the loquacious Chief Edwin Clark should do the same. This is the only way to help President Jonathan to win in 2015.

Where were the nigeria army when this man reduce the importation of crude oil 45per during OBJ tenure? Where they not in existance then?

Where Mr joe igbokwe not alive when some northerners treated the peace of this country if GEJ becomes the president in 2011 and now all they said at that time is happening? How many times did you Mr joe igbokwe send letter to those norther elder telling them to stop the killing of christians and innocent citizens in the north eastern part of the country? Who started coup in this country? Have you forgoten so soon June 12 or better still May 14 2009 when OBJ killed childern, their fathers, their mothers, family desarted, runing for their dear life? Where you Mr joe igbokwe not alive then? How many times did come out to speak? Where bold enough to come on air to speak your mind? Now you are here roaring like lion, thinking you are bold. I pray that some day your own very family experience what other people from easth, west south pass through in hand of Boko-haram, then you will know the kind of pain people pass through. Please Mr Igbokwe sh*rt up mouth if do not have anything to say, go back to you circular or normal business and remain there. Let nigerians hear fresh breath and keep your senseless, inrelivant and your malicious lies to your self.

    There was never mention or talk of anyone fostering tribalism throughout
    the 40+ years of Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba Islamist misrule of Nigeria.
    Civilian governments and military dictatorships—–by Sir Tafawa
    Balewa, Generals Murtala Muhammad, Olusegun Obasanjo, Shehu Shagari,
    Muhammad Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Sanni Abacha, Abdulsalaam and Alhaji
    Musa Y’ar Adua—were all replete with tribalism, Islamism, widespread
    corruption, official graft, internal colonialism, Islamization Projects,
    muzzling of the press, assassinations, disappearances, infrastructural
    decay, decline in industrial outputs, decline in academics, etc., etc.,
    ad infinitum. Those were the days, when, if you were not a Hausa-Fulani
    Muslim, you either suffered a stalled public service career or got
    premature dismissal from either your military or civilian job. Nobody
    wrote fancy essays extolling the virtues of our common Nigeria
    brotherhood and detribalized citizenship. Certainly, the Hausa-Fulani
    Islamist dictators and those who greatly benefited from the largesse
    they doled out never saw anything wrong in “taking advantage of, and
    festering tribal sentiments as a weapon to secure their inutile holds on
    power.” Or, did they? If they did, how come ethnic bigot and former
    dictator, General Muhammad Buhari, on the platform of Arewa-sponsored
    Boko Haram terrorist organization, has never retreated from his threats
    and promise to make the government ungovernable until power is returned
    to him and fellow Northern Muslim oligarchs?

    Sir Ahmadu Bello, the vilest tribalist and champion of intolerance:

    “As we lamented our plight through the foregoing indignities, we
    wondered how we came by such a dilemma in a relationship supposedly
    amongst equals, only recently to stumble upon the reason for our fate:
    On the 13th of November, 2002, the Tribune Newspaper had cause to recall
    Sir Ahmadu Bello”s admonition in 1960, to the descendants of Uthman Dan
    Fodio, reported in the Parrot Newspaper of 12th October, 1960:

    “The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great
    grandfather Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of
    power. We use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the South
    as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never
    allow them to have control over their future”.

    In order to
    be fully cognisant of its purport, it is necessary to put that
    admonition, which is no less than a “Battle Order,” in its proper
    perspective. By that admonition, Sir Ahmadu Bello created three
    categories of Nigerians: First Class Nigerians – the inheritors of
    Nigeria as an “estate of Uthman Dan Fodio”; Second Class Nigerians – the
    “willing tools”, who are the same as “the minorities in the North”, to
    be used by the inheritors as tools and Third Class Nigerians – the whole
    of Southern Nigeria, alias: “the conquered territory”, who are no more
    than “Slave Boys”, who must never be allowed to control their own
    future, let alone be allowed to rule over the inheritors.”

    Northern Nigerian Muslim despots like Buhari, Babangida, Abacha,
    Murtala Muhammad, Shehu Shagari, Abdulsalaam— and a Christian, General
    Olusegun Obasanjo, their Yoruba errand boy, stole or presided over the
    embezzlement of more than $ 600 billion as they pitifully misruled
    Nigeria. They even had the audacity to illegally and unjustly divvy up
    Niger Delta’s most lucrative oil blocks among themselves. Yes, they are
    all became instant billionaires without ever operating any viable
    business concern. When ordinary citizens cried out against their misrule
    and excesses, they ordered hangings and bombings of whole towns,
    villages and rural communities. Thousands perished in cold blood. To
    date, they are yet to be prosecuted for the grievous crimes they
    committed against our people. Mr. Asari Dokubo, like all internally
    colonized and oppressed peoples of the Niger Delta region, are victims
    of the vilest forms of Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba Muslim tribalism. It’s an
    unacceptable reality and we are now, more than ever, seriously
    determined to bring the suffering to a close. Nigeria either adopts true
    federalism in which each province controls its own natural resources or
    risk becoming a disintegrated nation in the very near future.

    “Many Hausa-Fulani told me that the North’s escalating poverty has
    resulted from its declining access to oil because of its loss of the
    presidency to Olusegun Obasanjo, a Southern Christian Yoruba, following
    the death of the Northern Muslim Kanuri, Sani Abacha. Their solution to
    Northern poverty was to recapture the federal government. This they did
    in the rigged elections of 2007 and the presidency of Umaru Yar’Adua.
    But, they lost it again when Yar’Adua died in May 2010 and the vice
    president, Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian Ijaw from Southern Nigeria,
    became president.” – John Campbell, Former US Ambassador to Nigeria.
