Asari Dokubo Pledges Allegiance To President Tinubu, Reveals How He Was There For Him

 

Former  Niger Delta agitator turned traditional ruler, Asari Dokubo, has reaffirmed his loyalty to president Bola Tinubu, stating that he cannot abandon him because Tinubu supported him during his darkest times 

This comes months after Dokubo publicly accused Tinubu of betrayal following the 2023 elections. In a viral video, he claimed he had spent all the time, he lamented that the Tinubu he once knew had changed and even vowed to sever ties with the Yoruba people while seeking new alliance with the north 

However, in recent video, Dokubo appeared to soften his stance, acknowledging that despite past grievance, he remains committed to Tinubu 


"When you have a friend, it is difficult to part ways because you have to look back at yesterday," he said. "The memories of yesterday will keep playing in your head. In my darkest times, Ahmed Bola Tinubu stood by me. I can't forget it so easily, no matter what happens."

Nigeria vs Zimbabwe: No Osimhen No Party and 2 other lessons from the disappointing draw

The Super Eagles failed to do the job against Zimbabwe, settling for another 1-1 draw after conceding late in the game. Here are the lessons from the game. Victor Osimhen, who scored a brace in  Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Rwanda  last Friday, headed home a fine cross from Ola Aina to put the Super Eagles ahead before Zimbabwe equalised via Tawanda Chirewa in the 90th minute. The draw leaves the Super Eagles with just seven points after six matches, with the dream of making it to the 2026 FIFA World Cup now almost fading away. Here are the things we learnt in the draw  One thing is clear, Osimhen is the main man in the Super Eagles. Not like anyone will likely argue that point by now but it needs to be echoed to the end of the world.  The striker missed Nigeria’s opening four matches of the 2026 WCQ through injury, and the team failed to win a single game without him.  His goals are the real deal, but his presence, leadership and energy are what lifts the teams even ...

Ten million compensation for business man shot by DSS

  The Department of State Services (DSS) has finally compensated a businessman who was mistakenly shot in 2016 during a raid. Initially ordered to pay ₦10 million by the court in 2018, the DSS delayed payment for six years but recently settled the amount, doubling it to ₦20 million as a goodwill gesture. The incident caused severe financial and personal hardship for the victim, who lost his business and home.   The operatives were in search of a suspected gunrunner who shared the same last name with the man but ended up shooting him on the thigh only to discover he was not the suspect they were after. The operatives later that day arrested the actual suspect and transferred him to Abuja. But after shooting the businessman, they realised their mistake and rushed him to the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) where they abandoned him. As if that was not enough, the man was left untreated due to doctors’ strike and was eventually moved to a military hospital. Life took a ...
