It was the Nigerian music maestro Timaya who in one of his hit song sang on a track about Ambition and Destiny.. at least that's what I would title that track if I am given the opportunity.
I know you are trying to take a wide guess, Aren't you?
Well, I may not be a fan of Nigerian music artiste neither am I a lover of the Nigerian music premised upon the fact that most of their lyrics is nothing to be written home about, as they often time than not lack originality and socioeconomic, cultural or political substance and relevance (My subjective opinion) .
Be that as it may, I think that, that Timaya's track titled in pidgin as “IF TO SAY..” with one of its lyrical verse as thus:
“..If to say I be freedom fighter .. I for become Asari Dokubo eh” (It makes lots of sense)
It is therefore this supposed 'freedom fighter' as described by Timaya that I intend to focus.
Without much ado, the Leader of the Niger Delta People's Volunteer Front, Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo, has given a startling revelation, one that serves as a shocker. The above statement was culled from his Facebook page.
According to him, the whole story about abducted Chibok school girls is a lie and also such stories making headlines about some of the girls being rescued is a nothing but a false alarm – a scam!
Is he to be taken serious or not? Let's also remember that other eminent personalities like Gov.Fayose of Ekiti, Former President Obasanjo and others have also argued in the same vein with Asari Dokubo that the Chibok story was cooked.
Infact, in the words of Gov. Fayose as published few months ago by NHB and also in most electronic and print media, he was quoted as saying that ” Chibok Girls abduction was cooked to oust the then GEJ out from office.”
OBJ also alluded to the above in by saying that ” Chibok Girls not Missing…How can you find what is not lost?”
These are issues to be critically evaluated.
Tell us your opinion on this matter.
