Former President of Ijaw Youth Congress, IYC, and leader of Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Alhaji Dokubo Asari, has said that those scheming to remove President Goodluck Jonathan from office were fanning the embers of war in Nigeria.
He also accused Northern leaders of creating the atmosphere of insecurity in the country.
Asari, who addressed newsmen in Abuja, yesterday, recalled that the Isa Kaita, who he said represented a collection of Northern oligarchy, had prior to 2011 general elections, declared that they will make Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan should he eventually emerged as President, pointing out that incessant bombings and killings credited to the North-based Boko Haram was the manifestation of the threat by Kaita.
Asari also said the North will be the greatest losers should the war begin. He said: “On Boko Haram, the North will lose. We are just waiting; they will push us to an extent where we will tell Goodluck Jonathan that he is on his own. But what will happen will be one that will be unimaginable in the history of the world.
“We will cut them (the Northerners) off from the world. We are capable of doing that. There will be no food and they will pay dearly for their actions. This war will be no joke. There will be no army to prosecute the war for them. When the war starts, other ethnic groups like the Yoruba will tell the North ‘you are on your own.’
“We are saying that nothing must happen to Jonathan because if anything happens to him, the world will know. The arrogance of Boko Haram is un-Islamic. The type of bomb they are using is small. If we begin to throw bombs, nobody will stay in Abuja.
“We don’t manufacture bomb but we will buy them and dynamites. I started armed struggle in the Niger Delta. It is because of Goodluck Jonathan that we kept quiet.
“But soon, we will not be able to guarantee our patience any more. If Ijaw people should retaliate, every household in the North will cry. It is the North that needs peace more than us. Everybody must impress it on them that they should sheathe their swords and drop their arrogance.”
Asari said it was an insult on President Jonathan for him to be asked by Boko Haram to convert to Islam or resign his position. He warned that the Ijaw nation will retaliate should anything happen to Jonathan.
He urged President Jonathan to urgently convene a Sovereign National Conference, SNC, which he said was long overdue, to determine the future of Nigeria amidst the ethnic nationalities.

ReplyDeleteGod knows d best
ReplyDeleteGod knows d best
ReplyDeleteLet us first of all determine what the North really represents. From what is happening, it is obvious that this marriage is heading for divorce already. But it will never be like North, South and West. Let us expect something more than the USSR disintegration. Nigeria will go into pieces. To avoid that, lets go by Asari's suggestion. Lets sit down and talk...we must collectively decide how we want to live and exist as a people.
ReplyDeleteAsari has said it all, i am from Benue state and i want to emphatically say that we are tired of this heartless idiots called muslims in the north, enough of this killing of our people.It is time we stand in the defence of our people, also i want the rams to know that any god or allah that is asking u to kill a fellow being like u is nothing but a devil.
ReplyDeleteI think Asari is playing into their hands. That is exactly what they want. People who don't have anything to live for would want everything crashing down. I think GEJ has managed them well. Asari should
ReplyDeletemmmmmmm, ASARI- AGAIN. HE CHOOSES HIS WORDS,DONT FORGET HE IS A MOSLEM AN ALHAJI TOO, HE HAS GOTTEN TO THE SOURCE WHERE THIS ISLAM OF A THING STARTED.BOKO HAREM HAS GONE OUT OF HAND- ITS APPARENT THAT BLOOD THIRSTY DEMONS HAVE TAKEN OVER, THIS CANT BE ISLAM THAT WE KNOW.TIME WAS WHEN THE NORTH[CHRISTAINS/MOSLEMS] FOUGHT THE IBOS[EAST].NIGERIA NAWAAAAAH!
ReplyDeleteWe are watching Jonathan take a bold step to govern Nigeria. A panel constituted by Jonathan government exonerated Gen Buhari of the statement credited to him that Nigeria will become ungovernable if he Jonathan wins the elections and since then killings has become the order of the day with such people walking freely in country. This cant happen in some African countries. He has not given us the much needed fresh air to believe that he has the tenacity to rule this country. Why didnt this so called infidel raise up their heads during OBJ's tenure?
ReplyDeleteI PRAY GOD TO INTERVENE IN DIS SCENERIO. IF THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD INVITE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCY DIS MENACE WILL BE SOLVED AND D CULPRIT BE HANDED OVER THE ICJ AND FOR IMMEDIATE PROSECUTION. I PRAY THERE SHOULDN'T B WAR COS IT WILL NOT FAVOUR ANYONE, IT MUST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AFFECT SOMEONE. I PRAY FOR PEACEFUL NIGERIA. GOD WILL USE DIS MOMENT TO FLUSH THE BAD EGGS DAT NEVER WANTS NIGERIA TO GROW.
ReplyDeleteAnyway Nigeria AGBADA wan Tear make he Tear.
ReplyDeleteNigerian has pamper the northernans too much, i concur with what Asari is saying.
The Yorubas, Igbos, Ijaws and other tribe will strike against the north very soon.The northan leaders should lean from LIBYA and other islamic countries.
enough is enough.
When Americans said some four years ago that terrorists would soon manifest in Nigeria, the Federal Govt. did not take it serious rather they waved it off as something that was a figment of their imagination. Now it is happening. America has said again that Nigeria may disintegrate by 2015, yet nothing is being done. People have been calling for Sovereign National Conference, but the National Assembly is not doing anything about it. It will soon happen. They kept quiet because they are feeding fat. If anything happens, they will not go free. I appeal to them to make haste while the sun shines. Otherwise it may be too late.
ReplyDeleteWhen talkin we should know that the north is not all that are heartless and muslims their a xtains who suffers from the hands of the muslims and boko haram I'm from the west but grew up in the north so what are we goin to do wit the xtains in the north? The north is not all abt those usless,hopeless and heartless pple
ReplyDeleteLike i said yeasterday, they did it to Pa AWO,MKO, and OJUKU etc, now they are looking 4 Goodluck,they believe they can continuein this mannar, what the Yoruba thought has not ended, they will continue to fill the pain till we seperate, they cant continue to distub the learnerd from the Southern Nigeria,sins there existence they not produce person like AWO, MKO, even OBJ of yesterday, now thanks bross Alj. Asari, i think the journey should start now, Islam is not there way, before they lunch attack in the name of Fake Islam there practicing is better we are ready, we can allow them to harm our President is not easy to obtain PHD, it was a task of many years.
ReplyDeleteOf course, we from the WEST are not animals, how can we allow animals to rule us, we sent message to them they should not cross boarder with their BOKO, bcos we are waiting, we need to show them where power lys.
Like i also said, BOKO shuld not addressed as Muslims, MUHAMMED ROSULILAH (SWS) DID NOT TEACH US this WAY. the president is not scared hs just waiting for them to over do thier rubish.
ReplyDeleteOSAMA did his own and he failed, bcos it was not truth. God Bless Nigeria.
I love d entity called Nigeria but for d northern muslims, I reserve my comment. They act on any slight comment or actions frm christians to kill d northern and southern christians. If they want muslim state, Jonathan shld let them go on their own will and let peace reign in regions dat want peace. Haba! We can't continue pretending it is well and keep on losing innocent souls to fools called d northern oligarchy. Gideon Orkar did not make a mistake when he asked them to go in 1990 but d devil incarnate killed him. May God help us in this country.
ReplyDeleteTel this boy to shut up
