Niger Delta: Please Offer Asari Dokubo A Movie Deal...
Forget my short attenton span, I read the four page historical account of events in the Niger Delta as narrated by Asari Dokubo. This is no mean feat for me, as I do not recall reading more than two paragraph of any Nigerian news item/interview/editorial in the past. I read the first and last paragraph and simply assume the rest, it is always the same story line anyway. This blow by blow account of events as perceived by Mr. Dokubo is different, it is captivating and would make Jason Bourne go green with envy. Complete with money, treachery, mega-corporations, guns, power thirsty individuals with strong government ties. Where is Leonardo Di Caprio when you need him? I would buy the Movie rights to this story if I had the resources. I leave the in depth analysis to the pundits with a deeper knowledge of the intricacies of the region. For now I say, sit back, grab some pop-corn and enjoy the stark realities of the sufferings of my brothers and sister. Read the . Hat tip to . See related video .

I said the same thing about Obafemi Awolowo - I wish Awolowo was given a movie deal before he died !
Thanks for the link, Jeffery Archer couldn't spin a tale like Dokubo.
Revelations like this leave me helpless and make situations such as the N.D. crisis a hopeless struggle. IF the government knows what's going down with the likes of Henry Okah and still let him be, and even the locals know about things like this, then what's with the ordinary man's struggle for an end to the seemingly endless strife?
