Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has stirred a barrage of reactions on social media after sharing a video clip of himself flaunting guns and threatening the Igbo-speaking people in Nigeria.
In the clip seen by Naija News, Dokubo was
heard threatening that if not for the intervention of the British, he would
have been selling the Igbo people to slavery just like his father did many
years ago.
Dokubo said the Igbo people were looking for
who would deal with them, asking them to look around and see how they are being
killed incessantly.
He said: “You open. You take your leprosy
hand to write. Don’t you have respect for the people who bought your father?
“Is it every Calabari that is a Calabari man?
Do you know your roots? That you talk to me? You don’t know that people own
this Calabari.
“You are law-abiding…Igbos, I don’t know
them. I don’t know where they came from. Because I know that if not for British
intervention, I will still be selling them. The way my father sold them.
“Now look at you people in Igbo land. Look at
how you are dying woto-woto.
“You will do a video to sell that Alhaji has
run away. You dey see me? I don’t run.
“Una head no correct. E be like say una dey
look for who go finish una.”
Dokubo’s threat is coming a few days after
visiting President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa in Abuja.
Dokubo had told journalists earlier that he
and his brothers have assured Tinubu to help his administration fight oil
thieves in the Niger Delta.
Dokubo’s latest video clip, however, has been
receiving a series of backlash on social media as some Nigerians blamed
President Tinubu for giving the former militant an audience at the Aso Villa.

@chi_agozie7 – A Nigerian man is bragging
that he could have been selling Nigerians if not for Britain’s intervention..
how did we get here?
@DrJohnBishop – I keep repeating that Slave
trade was only made possible because some black men decided to sell their own
kind…tueh!
@EstherOkokon3 – This is what actually earned
him a place in Aso Rock. My joy is that Igbos are resilient people and can
survive anything, no amount of hate can shake them… yak abasi asuk aka ka iso
odiong ndito uneghe.
@salmanaudi – Terrible! I am a hausa man from
kano, but man my igbo brothers and sisters are being treated like objects in
Nigeria. I grew up in Lagos, and now living in the UK ??. They’re my people
(igbos) I roll with them. They have right like every other Nigerian. I missed
nkechi my ex
@Rega09831412 – This is what happens when u
refuse to partner with anyone! Igbo’s were already building a good partnership
with the north east and midway west Obi ruined that partnership and now we are
in the middle of the Red Sea! LP 78.
@filarge89 – This guy was in Aso Rock a few
days back chilling with the president and even had press conference.. one Nigeria.
@EtowaMichael – I think at this point it’s
now obvious that the igbos are actually the most feared tribe in Nigeria. Bro
showing off guns wow.
@femistico – Igbos brought this see finish
upon themselves, they want Biafra trying to merge S/S alongside but the S/S dey
claim they were not together, now Obi had made them to be ridiculed this much
just bcuz he lost an election…what a shame.
@mrchrisbonnie – @OfficialAPCNg led Federal
Government of Nigeria are still in contract with a character who openly
confessed to being a slave trader just like his father was, and would’ve still
been on it, if given a chance.
@JoeBiden and @RishiSunak, you see Nigeria
y’all in bed with?
@Ngwe_ It is sad that nobody speaks for the
Igbo; this kind of insult should not be tolerated. He’s talking about a whole
tribe, omo. na S.E political class dey cause all these. No wahala o.
@mattmike324 -One thing Nigerians should
learn is that the Igbo nation has been long before Nigeria was created. The
Igbo nation is far bigger, stronger and richer than even Nigeria. Nigeria is
obviously a biz not a nation, sooner you knw the better.”
