Asari Dokubo Says He Is Not A Nigerian

Former Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo, who enjoys being controversial and always in the news has said he is not a Nigerian but an Ijaw man, with the notion that Ijaws are not Nigerians.

The ever controversial Dokubo made the claim while taking a swipe at a fan identified as Olabode Oladuja, on his Facebook page used some slanderous words on his recipient.
Dokubo, formerly known as Melford Dokubo Goodhead Jr, who has proven over the years that he is not a man that can be intimidated or compelled into doing things against his wish was a leader in the fight for the emancipation of the Niger-Delta as well as the control of its abundant mineral resources.
Responding to Oladuja, he said the Asari he claimed to admire had never existed or only existed in the fragment of his jaundice mind, saying it was very pathetic that Oladuja thought he was a lackey to his Yoruba thieving political elites.
He asked him what he thought his struggle was about, saying he is an Ijaw man fighting for the independence of the Ijaw nation from the strangle hold of the Gambaris, the foxy thieving Yoruba political elites, and their conscious or unconscious collaborators.
“I have gone up to the Nigerian Supreme Court to state unequivocally that I,Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, I am not a Nigerian and do not wish to become a Nigerian,” he said. “On this old sing song of juicy fruits, it has become so monotonous….that is another misconstruction of my struggle. My struggle is for Self determination and resource take over by any means necessary and that is what had inspired me into armed struggle.”
Dokubo further revealed that he always laugh when people say he supports President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan for juicy fruits, and asked if the Yoruba people celebrated Obafemi Awolowo because he gave their fathers juicy fruits.
He stated that if the Yoruba’s have the right to support Awolowo or Abiola, why would he not also have the same right to support President Jonathan. He said if the Yoruba’s should create a ‘Yoruba Demi-gods, demagogues and heroes’ for him to adorn and celebrate, they fail because his relationship with their political elites was because he thought they had genuine concerns for the worst apartheid treatment of the people of the Niger Delta, but was wrong.
The freedom fighter said the elites are just like the Gambaris but worst in their modus operandi, noting that if you collaborate with the Gambaris, you will fail just as it was recorded in Ilorin.
It would be recalled that Asari Dokubo was recently accused of being one of the Nigerians aboard the private jet that was seized by the South African government for smuggling the sum of $9.3 million illegally into the country.
