Biafra: Ohaneze, Dokubo, and Fulani Land-grabbers

By Dave Umahi | For Biafra Writers

May 16, 2019

The latest intelligence report reaching our desk has it that the Fulani terrorist leadership (the cabal in Aso Rock) has kicked off their plans to buy land massively in Biafra as a launch-pad for Biafra-land takeover. What then will Ohaneze Ndigbo and Asari Dokubo do about it?

The first attempt at taking over Biafra-land was the demand for grazing lands. The people stood against it, arguing that cattle’s rearing is private business, and so the government shouldn’t allocate lands to the herders. The people argued further that Biafrans in other parts of the country purchased the lands and shops in which they conduct their businesses, insisting that the Fulani must be left to do same. The cabal thus being logically defeated tried using the army to seize the lands. Realizing how difficult it is to get enough lands for what they intended, they resorted to empowering the herdsmen leadership, Miyetti Allah Cattle Rearers (MACAR). Interestingly, MACAR is reported in international media as the fourth largest terrorist group in the world.

The government’s recent decision to give $100 Billion Dollars to the terrorist herdsmen is in tandem with the caliphate’s plot to take over Biafra land. Sources disclosed that the money is to enable the herders purchase more arms for their nefarious activities, as well as to buy lands in Biafra. Put differently, they are planning to, on one hand, kill more Biafrans, and on the other hand, buy up many lands in Biafra with the connivance of quislings they have previously planted.

Biafrans are thus curious to know what the proscribed Ohaneze Ndigbo as a body and brother Asari Dokubo as an individual are going to do in the face of such disturbing revelations. This is more so since they are in the habit of opposing everything done by Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to gain independence from the zoo called Nigeria.

Ohaneze Ndigbo is originally a group of Igbo-Biafrans that banded together immediately after the war to chart a way forward. With time however, unscrupulous elements infiltrated the group, and with the founding fathers growing old and dying off, the present-day members subverted the original goal of the group, turning themselves scavengers in the Nigerian political equation. Integrity became a thing of the past as these shameless Igbo men readily offered selves as tools in the hand of the Northern hegemony to forestall every plan to restore Biafra just to be allowed to pick the crumbs from their masters’ table.

Doing their masters’ biding, Ohaneze Ndigbo connived with Igbo-Biafra governors to have Nigerian terrorist army invade the home of the Supreme Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, with the sole intent of assassinating him. In the process, hundreds of Biafrans were murdered by the Nigeria terrorist forces. The latest script now being acted out is the opposition to the Biafra Heroes Remembrance Day slated for May 30th.

On the other hand, Asari Dokubo, a school dropout and a one-time pipeline vandal, claims to be fighting for what he called Niger Delta freedom. But in actual fact, he is a wheelie-dealer, using the pretense of fighting for freedom to cut deals. It is Dokubo that betrayed Henry Orkah, the leader of Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND).

As both fraudulent Ohaneze Ndigbo and pipeline vandal, Asari Dokubo, have been in opposition to IPOB’s genuine and honest moves to restore the state of Biafra, Biafrans now demand to know what these folks have in stock to preempt the Fulani evil agenda.

Asari Dokubo’s Militancy, a Ruse Aimed at Enriching Himself

April 28, 2019

By Eluwa Chidiebere Chinazu | Biafra Writers

Oil spillage, chronic poverty, and environmental destruction were said to have precipitated militancy in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Nevertheless, since 2003 when Asari Dokubo bragged to have staged combat against the federal government over these ills, the stated problems seem to have been on the rise.

Asari Dokubo – a Muslim from Ijaw in Rivers State – is an erstwhile president of the Ijaw Youth Council (IJC). In 2003, he formed Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF), a group he claimed was birthed to fight for the people’s interest. But Asari was deceiving the people instead. NDPVF went fully into bunkering, kidnapping, and vandalism, revealing the true intention of its formation.

Under the dispensation of Musa Yar’adua, Vice President Goodluck Jonathan mediating, Asari Dokubo received a whopping annual cash payment of USD $10 million under the guise of Pipeline Security Fee. Now enriched on account of the blood of the fallen NDPVF members, Asari headed to the Benin Republic to build schools, soccer academies, and a range of other businesses. By these investments, the one who claimed to be fighting for Ijaw people provided employment for the citizens of Benin Republic, leaving his own people to wallow in unemployment. If Asari is truly a freedom fighter as he loves to claim, and is concerned about the stated problems in Ijaw land, why then did he establish his business empire in Benin Republic and not Ijaw land?

The rift between him and Ateke Tom’s Niger Delta Vigilantes (NDV) over who will control the bunkering routes saw many of our people dead. During that time (2003-2004), Asari who is now baselessly accusing the supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, of killing one Prophet Anthony Nwoko, killed as many of his people as he could. Innocent civilians were shot dead by NDPVF. Asari burned down buildings, took people hostage, and unleashed untold calamity on the land, forcing schools and other economic activities to shut down.

Today, although he tries to deny in public his political links, his rapport with the ruling cabal of APC cannot be overemphasized. Just as his close associate, Raphael Uwazuruike, defrauded people with MASSOB, Asari Dokubo used NDPVF for his personal gains. He is a contract politician often hired to do the dirty jobs of bigwigs but likes to fancy himself as a freedom fighter.

Asari Dokubo in a Shameless Contract to Blackmail Nnamdi Kanu

April 26, 2019

David Umahi | For Biafra Writers

Watching Asari Dokubo’s video on the murder of Prophet Anthony Nwoko, one can’t help but wonder what agreement he entered into with Nigerian government. His recent meeting with Adams Oshiomole (the chairman of the ruling party, APC), precipitates even more reasons to be worried about. What really brought them together?

We all remember that a detachment of soldiers stormed his house at the election period. Could it be that the threat scared him out of his wits and he decided to throw in with the powers that be? Could it be that the meeting with Osiomole is a perfection of a pact initiated by the military harassment? Has he met with Oshiomole for strategies and proceeds? 

The agitation for an independent state of Biafra as led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been Nigeria’s greatest worries in recent years. Asari Dokubo has been known to profess Biafra and to pledge allegiance to IPOB. The Nigerian government has been working round the clock to quell the agitation, albeit unsuccessfully.

Having failed to crush the struggle by the force of arm, the Nigerian government has adopted blackmail as its newest strategy. They will lure a man into verbal attacks on IPOB and its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. When such an individual has gained a bit of public attention, they will get him to claim death threats from IPOB. Then, surreptitiously, state agents will move in, silence the fellow and try to pin the murder on IPOB.

The recent murder of Prophet Anthony Nwoko in Enugu is actually a state programmed crime, perpetrated to blackmail IPOB. Before Nwoko sold himself to the government, he lived on aids provided by IPOB. Having identified with the Biafra struggle, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu specifically funded his life’s needs. Somehow, the Nigerian government got on to him, made huge offers and, greed playing in, the poor prophet turned against the hand that fed him. They propped him up and ensured a wide media coverage of his diatribes and non-existent death threats. Having built his public image as a critic of Nnamdi Kanu and his group, IPOB, his paymasters judged that the old fellow would now be more useful to them dead than alive. And so they sacrificed him and contracted the likes of Asari Dokubo to help black Nnamdi Kanu.

Although Dokubo professes Biafra, he has done absolutely nothing to help advance the struggle. He has never criticized the Nigerian government for killing Biafrans, nor has he ever held a press conference on any Biafra related issue.

Asari built schools in Benin Republic but has none in his so-called Niger Delta or Ijaw nation. His only business in Ijaw land being arms smuggling, pipeline vandalism, and oil theft. Yet he likes to pretend he is fighting their cause. It should be remembered that it is this same Asari that betrayed Henry Okah of MEND (Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta), who is now languishing in a South African prison.

Asari Dokubo would do anything to feather his nests. To him, blackmail and betrayal are just instruments for making money. Biafrans are advised to beware of him.

Why Asari Dokubo is Attacking Nnamdi Kanu

April 24, 2019

By Nelson Ofokar Yagazie | Biafra Writers

In his efforts to eliminate pipeline vandalism and other related terror activities like kidnapping of expatriate oil workers in the Niger Delta region, late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua instituted amnesty. As part of the incentives, the federal government made massive cash offer to Asari Dokubo and other militant leaders in the Niger Delta.

Particularly, Asari Dokubo was offered $10 million annually under the guise of Pipeline Security Protection fee, having been awarded the contract to protect Rivers state pipelines and creeks his boys have been vandalizing in addition to kidnapping workers and killing guards. That contract was made possible through the mediation of then Vice President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, who not only hailed from the same region but is also Asari’s kinsman. That mouthwatering contract ran successfully till 2015 when late President Muhammadu Buhari came to power.

Recall Asari’s restiveness in the buildup to 2015 elections and all the threats he issued to the Northern hegemony as regards the plot to dethrone President Goodluck. At that time, many, myself inclusive, thought it a brotherly-concern affair. How wrong we were. Dude, we now realize was concerned of his pipeline contract and not brother Jonathan’s success.

Well, all his threats were empty; Hausa/Fulani scared brother Jonathan out of office and power returned to North untimely. Upon assuming office, late Muhammadu Buhari terminated the pipeline contract awarded to Asari Dokubo. As time progressed, with no block money flowing in as it used to, the realities of Jonathan’s woe came hard on the militant-turned pipeline contractor. He then sought a viable platform with which he can combat the federal government. Having lost relevance in Niger Delta Volunteer Force for his treachery, Asari saw in Biafra agitation a more potent tool to get back to the Buhari government. He then declared himself a Biafran, throwing in with IPOB – the only potent and engaging group on freedom quest.

IPOB received him with open arms, relishing the perceived steam he would add to the struggle. Asari soon cooked up stories of projects, convincing IPOB leadership will help advance the struggle. The unsuspecting leadership of IPOB gladly availed him all the logistics he demanded – money and other material things. Asari didn’t follow through; he produced excuses in lieu of results. 

Brother Asari made several videos, publicly and vehemently reiterating his support for the Supreme Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The public would remember the video in which he said that some people are telling him that he is following Nnamdi Kanu, doing boy-boy for him and that he said to them “if Nnamdi Kanu is doing better than me in the Biafra restoration project, why won’t I follow him?” By that response, Asari admits Kanu is doing better than him in our quest for freedom. Not that his admission means much, for that fact is glaring even to the blind, but it straightens record as being recounted today.

Not willing to go into arms struggle – at least for now – IPOB leadership adopted the principle of civil disobedience known to have been used effectively in India by Mahatma Gandhi, in the US by Martin Luther King Junior, in Croatia, South Africa (Soweto), and many other parts of the world who have sought self-determination or equal rights as Luther’s case in the US was. IPOB declared and stood on election boycott with the sole aim of getting the Nigerian state to play ball as regards the group’s demand for a referendum date. It should be recalled that this principle of election boycott garnered serious momentum in 2017 toward the Anambra state governorship election, so serious that even in the face of Operation Python Dance, the illegal and malicious proscription of IPOB, and the attendant persecution of the group, overwhelming majority of Anambra indigenes complied to it – a situation that left the irredeemably corrupt political class no choice than to doctor results, agreeing among themselves not to challenge anything in court. Asari Dokubo didn’t attack Nnamdi Kanu at this time, nor did he in any way condemn the idea of boycotting the election.

Then approached the 2019 general elections.  Jubril Aminu Al-Sudani, now impersonating late President Buhari, was presented for the election by APC cabal headed by Abba Kyari. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, prostituting himself politically, returned to PDP and somehow managed to emerge its flag bearer.  Executing political wisdom however, he picked an Igbo man for vice. With that choice, he hoped to harvest Biafra (South East/South South) votes, knowing how disenchanted the region is with the Buhari administration. Certain to divide the votes in North, with Biafra vote in his custody, he is certain to cruise to victory. Brother Asari recognized this, and seeing in Atiku’s victory a window of opportunity in regaining his lost millions of dollar pipeline contract, threw in with Atiku at once. But then, there stood an obstacle on the way: IPOB’s call for election boycott.

The manifestation of IPOB’s call for election boycott as a giant stumbling block took off the sheep’s clothing the wolf has been donning. The attack began. Brother Asari lost every sense of caution and loyalty to IPOB, launching tirades first at IPOB as a body, and then specifically at Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

He first accused him of working for Buhari’s (Jubril) reelection, arguing that the boycott will benefit the incumbent administration. If Asari Dokubo’s opposition to the election boycott was an innocent one, why didn’t he speak up at the buildup to 2017 Anambra state election? And if not sheer vile or drunkenness as the case might be, how would anyone insinuate that Nnamdi Kanu was working for the return of an administration that murdered thousands of his followers, jailed him for two years, invaded his house with sophisticated war armaments, killing twenty-eight of his men in the process and forcing him and his parents into exile? Come to that, what even informed the notion that Biafrans boycotting the election will benefit the incumbent government? Is brother Asari properly schooled? If he and the rest of the treacherous folks in our land (the likes of Nnia Nwodo and our governors) had joined forces with IPOB in the boycott effort and had successfully grounded Biafra land, would that not have triggered a cascade of events that will culminate in Biafra’s independence?

Having made himself a stench to his own people and opened the door for the enemy to come in, brother Asari positioned himself for deals. The enemy did the expected.  Now reeling in the disappointment Atiku’s loss orchestrated and oared on by the money the caliphate threw at him, brother Asari, upped his attacks on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. His latest defamatory onslaught is the accusation that the Biafra leader killed a little-known self-acclaimed prophet, Anthony Nwoko. Although it’s now an open secret that the DSS masterminded the killing of the poor fellow to besmear Kanu, the poor man has been a critic of the Biafran leader, Asari Dokubo carried on with the calumny.

While we will not throw the dirty water with the child, may I use this medium to appeal to brother Asari to consider the end of our other brothers who have trodden the path he is now on – the likes of Ken Saro Wiwa and Isaac Adaka Boro – and retrace his steps.
