After Goodluck Jonathan, what next?
Following the defeat of
President Goodluck Jonathan
in the March 28 presidential
election, leader of the militia
group, Niger Delta People
Salvation Front, Asari
Dokubo, has declared that his
group is ready to commence
its armed struggle against the
Nigerian state.
Mr. Dokubo on several
occasion in the recent past
promised to make Nigeria
ungovernable if Mr Jonathan,
an Ijaw from the Niger Delta,
was not-re-elected.
Speaking on Sunday at the
Annual Major Isaac Adaka
Boro’s Memorial Public Event,
the militant said whatever
restraining order the
Jonathan’s administration
had on the armed struggle for
the self determination of the
Niger Delta people has now
been voided with the
emergence of the in-coming
Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration.
He said a new phase in the
struggle will soon be unveiled
,​ but that militants will wait
for the new government to
“draw the first blood.”
“Yes, a new government
begins in Nigeria and a next
phase of our struggle shall
begin also,” he said.
“Jonathan Goodluck
Presidency was like a
restraining order now that
restraint is lifted. However, we
will watch and wait, let them
draw the first blood and we
shall determine our best way
forward. Truly Nigeria will
never be the same again the
future is pregnant.”
He said the posturing of the
incoming Buhari-led
administration suggests that
it will extinguish whatever is
left of the Niger Delta
struggle. He added he is
ready to die in war or in
prison if the in-coming
government attempts to trifle
with the struggle for self-
determination of the oil-
producing region or treat it as
a conquered region.
“Should Buhari whom like
pharaoh has determined in
his heart to turn desolate the
Niger Delta region, draw the
first blood by undermining
certain interest of the region
then begin the systemic
arrest, maiming and murder
our comrades, continue the
confiscation of our rights to
self-determination and treat
the region as a conquered
region, then it may be
honourable for some of us to
die in prison or in the field of
war as nobody is afraid of
him,” Mr. Dokubo said.
Mr. Dokubo took a swipe at
other Niger Delta militants
that have declared their
readiness to work with in-
coming government
describing them as “petty
penny merchants” and “field
slaves” who have fled the
battlefield before the first
good is fired.
He further called on Niger
Delta youth to resist any
attempt to treat the region as
a defeated region.
“Let it be known that we were
not defeated,” Mr. Dokubo
said. “It was Jonathan and
his party that lost an election.
We as a people, indeed the
Niger Delta region alongside
the Igbos were never
defeated. We collectively
rejected the born to rule and
supremacist agenda which
some of our brothers as field
slaves and taskmasters
supported yet their number
shows that they are of little
consequence, we must
however not take them for
granted.”
He also took a swipe at Mr.
Jonathan, saying the
president is merely a
beneficiary of the Niger Delta
struggle but not a part of the
struggle and thus cannot
understand the real intent of
the struggle, which, Mr.
Dokubo said, is to secede
from Nigeria which he
described as “a false and
forced colonial union.”
“He, Jonathan Goodluck, was
never in the struggle,” he
said. “He was not a product
of the struggle but an
establishment beneficiary of
our struggle. Our struggle is
not and never about
becoming the president. It
was not about being awarded
oil licenses and mouth-
watering contracts. It was not
about massive infrastructural
development of the Niger
Delta Region. It was not
about high scale
appointments employment
and empowerment. It was
never about interventionist
programmes and projects.
“Our struggle indeed is about
our collective freedom from a
false and forced colonial
union that has remained
divided and un-integrated. It
is about our being conferred
a slave status and seen as a
conquered people who must
exist at the mercy of the
overloads and supremacist
class using our own brothers
as taskmasters against us in
a Nigerian union.
“Our status in the Nigerian
enterprise remains that of a
conquered people living a
slave and prisoners status.
This is the collective identity
we have as a people. Whether
you are rich, poor, high, low,
big, mighty or small, no
matter how well dressed, well
fed a slave or a prisoner his,
he remains a slave and a
prisoner who constantly lives
at the mercy and dictates of
others with his contributions
and consent of no
consequence. This is why we
must now than ever stand up
like the Scottish to determine
our going forward for our
platforms and reject our
oppressors. This will not
come easy.”
Mr. Dokubo amassed wealth
from the multi-billion naira
pipeline contract awarded to
ex-militants by the Jonathan
administration as part of the
amnesty deal.

Re: Asari-Dokubo Convenes A Meeting On The Next Phase Of The Niger Delta Struggle by ideykwum: 4:04pm On May 18, 2015
My brother, I understand where you are coming from! Jonathan did the Niger-Delta a major injustice! He occupied a space reserved for the area, and couldn't get over the feeling of gratitude to the North!! He forgot his base until the last month, after he was trounced at a rigged election, where he he was out-rigged due to his complacency and trust in the same Northerners!

It's heart-breaking, but we must chart a new course! While we wait for Buhari to show his hands, any good poker player would tell you to have a strategy ready, and keep a poker face! Asari is in order!!!

EUROBOMBER:
There is nothing wrong in holding meetings and also nothing wrong in a struggle geared towards the betterment of the people of the Niger Delta. My advise is that we should give Buhari a chance and see what he has to offer, who knows, he might turn out to be a blessing for the region. Jonathan was there for over 5yrs and nothing to show for it even in the Niger Delta! I am still at a shock today that Jonathan could not ensure that Ibaka seaport at Akwa Ibom was given priority and completed before the end of his tenure. One vital thing we need for a massive turnaround in the East would be a functioning seaport capable of berthing large ocean liners so that our people can massively divert their import activities to the East but the stark reality is that Jonathan failed. He also promised to build a second Niger bridge before 2015 and here we are in 2015 and the bridge has not been built.

What if Buhari builds that seaport? What if Buhari eventually builds that second Niger bridge?

I am really angry with Jonathan. angry

If Asari Dokubo is serious about the Niger-Delta struggle,he should first bring back all his investments to the region,failure to do that,he is as usual a greedy monetary protection seeker like his Ijaw brother Barcanista.

Before Asari hold meeting for way forward....how about they discuss Jonathan stewardship, look back and take stock of the development under GEJ? how did the region benefit? Are there more schools? more infrastructure? more business investments? less poverty?
They'll find that the only thing he did was enriching militants like Asari, Tompolo, Bayloaf, Oritsajefor (yes, he's a militant, he who deals in arms illegally is also a militant)?
ND folks, don't unnecessarily get overtaken over by sentiment, WHAT DID THE REGION BENEFIT FROM JONATHAN?

Stop telling bare-faced lies! Haba! When will you guys stop this pattern? How many industries do we have in Nigeria? This country is a consumption based economy, as a quick check at the NBS website would enlighten you! Our balance of payments position show clearly that we are not producing enough domestically, and therefore required more imports than exports!

If the importation of consumables are moved from the Lagos ports (including that of petroleum products) it would shake the Lagos economy! Period!!

Divest all we care, it will not be felt.
Most of the cargo coming to lagos are industrial cargoes and most of it is consumed right in the SW.
I am all for it as long as it reduces the population pressure on odua state.

In the past the Nigeria State are used to "giving" us whatever they deemed fit and not what we demand. In fact, our fathers accepted the peanuts even though it fell short of our demands. This time around there will be no peanut compromise. I am glad that Senibo Asari and the entire Niger Deltans are prepared to pursue these demands till the very end.

Its now clear that even if the south south produces a president it simply doesn't solve the problems on ground I mean GEJ was president for a term n still no reasonable development in the Niger delta for 4 years with all the resources at his disposal, what then is the assurance that resource control will guarantee stability n development? Yet we have succeeded in creating billionaire militants and criminals, the problems lie within the people and not the quantity of resources.
