Niger Delta militant Leader, Asari Dokubo says he and other militants will resume their struggle for the region should the Buhari administration "draw the first Blood". Asari said this while speaking at the Annual Major Isaac Adaka Boro’s Memorial Public Event which held yesterday May 17th.
"Yes, a new government begins in Nigeria and a next phase of our struggle shall begin also. 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.
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. Let it be known that we were not defeated. 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 said According to him, their struggle and agitation was never about to become the President of Nigeria but about freedom from what he described as "false and forced colonial union"
"He, Jonathan Goodluck, was never in the struggle. 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"he said.

Asari is on his own oo. He should stop dragging igbos feet into his selfish warfare and inciting violence. Making noise every now and then,the igbos re wise enough not to follow ur direction.

What has the struggle delivered to your people? What has they benefited from the struggle so far? Self interest struggle. That university you build in another country from the struggle money should have build in the community so that the ppl will have access to education. The community should have been more developed that this since all the struggle? stop using people struggle to fight for your own interest

To make trouble, one does not need training or education. Somebody has said what he is capable of doing and you guys are calling him names, the points he has raised are very important, if you were in his shoes you will also do same if you have the capacity, if Buhari tempers with anything that sustains peace in the niger/delta region of course he is calling for trouble, if GEJ had rejected the elections of course these guys would have started unleashing terror, but the fact remains that GEJ has on his own conceded defeat and adviced Asari and co to sheat their sword which has earned him a Hero. Lets be reasonable in making our comments. God bless you all.

Asari i am 100percent in support of u. All those calling this man names are noting but unreasonable fellow, if u know what this ppl are passing through in their community b4, u will ask them to do worsted than they re doing b4, their legion is the economic head of this country but they live in abject poverty, no good infrastructure, good road, their land has been polluted, crops is not fertile in their land, no portable water. If not 4 their struggle then it will be worsted now than then. They are providing nigeria with the money while is being utilised in the north and south. I will surely support them in any means if they start another agitation again. This country is not 4 hausa alone.
