Former ND Militant Asari Dokubo Warns Trump And US Military That Attempt To Invade Nigeria Will End In Massive Losses [VIDEO]

 

Former militant leader Asari Dokubo has issued a stark and uncompromising warning to United States President Donald Trump and American military forces, declaring that any attempt to intervene on Nigerian soil would meet with catastrophic consequences. The statement, posted on his Facebook page, came after public comments attributed to President Trump about a possible intervention in Nigeria, and it captures a raw and defiant reaction from a prominent voice in the Niger Delta.

Dokubo, who once led the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, spoke without equivocation. He described the United States as a nation of what he called “insane people,” and he singled out the American president as symptomatic of that condition. “Let Trump come with his America, they will all die,” he wrote, warning that US soldiers who entered Nigeria would face mortal danger and labeling such an incursion a grave mistake. The tone of the post left little room for diplomatic interpretation, and it signaled a readiness to meet foreign military presence with forceful resistance.

The former militant leader took aim not just at the prospect of foreign intervention but at what he characterized as double standards in international attention to violence. He insisted that the current killings afflicting Nigeria are not confined to one religious community. “This is not about Christians alone,” Dokubo said, “Muslims are also being massacred.” He fashioned his remarks around a broader argument about identity and loyalty, stating that his own life and rise to prominence were shaped by non-Muslims and that he stands apart from sectarian labels when it comes to defending his country.

Recounting his political assessment of the United States, Dokubo argued that the nation’s leadership choices reflect a deeper malaise. He referenced a sequence of controversial foreign policy positions, and he suggested that the pattern of belligerence — which he summarized as wanting to “annex Canada” or to “kill” foreign leaders — demonstrates a dangerous mentality in Washington. His remarks were blunt and incendiary, designed to underscore the seriousness with which he regards any talk of military action directed at Nigeria.

Observers will note that Dokubo’s rhetoric draws on his own history as a militant figure who once organized and led armed groups in the Niger Delta. That past lends potency to his warning, since it suggests both capacity for mobilization and a personal willingness to confront external forces. He closed his Facebook remarks with a challenge to critics who merely talk, underlining a long-standing refrain from militant quarters that actions, not words, determine outcomes. “We don’t just talk, we perform,” he said, a line meant to convey resolve and a readiness to act.

The statement will complicate diplomatic channels if the issue of any external intervention remains under discussion. Nigerian leaders have long been sensitive to suggestions of foreign military involvement, and Dokubo’s intervention adds a combustible public element to those concerns. For domestic audiences, the post plays into narratives about sovereignty, national pride and the capacity of local actors to resist foreign pressure. For international observers, it is a reminder of the unpredictable human variables that accompany any discussion of military movement or intervention.

Human rights and religious leaders who have appealed for calm may view Dokubo’s comments as a flashpoint in an already tense situation. He framed the violence affecting Nigerian communities as widespread and indiscriminate, touching Muslims and Christians alike, and his insistence on a united response to those deaths reflects a desire for cross-community solidarity even as he issues martial warnings to foreign powers.

No official response from the United States was included in Dokubo’s post, and it remains to be seen whether American diplomatic or military channels will address the remarks directly. What is certain is that the message he broadcast on social media will be read by a wide audience and will inflame passions among those who fear external intervention or who view it as an unacceptable breach of national sovereignty. The words are charged, the threat explicit, and the political atmosphere around the conversation about Nigeria’s future security has grown markedly more fraught.
