Asari Dokubo Warns Trump Against Military Action, Says Nigeria Will Be America’s Graveyard

Former Niger Delta warlord Asari Dokubo has warned President Donald Trump against launching any military action on Nigeria, vowing that such an invasion would end disastrously for the United States. In a viral Facebook video, the former leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF) reacted to Trump’s recent threat of a possible military intervention over alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria. Asari declared that Nigeria would become the graveyard of American troops if they dared to invade. “Let Trump come with his America, they will all die,” he said. “This lunatic wants to annex Canada, he wants Iceland, wants to kill the president of Venezuela, wants to kill the Supreme leader of Iran. America is a sick country that elects mad people.” He accused the U.S. of hypocrisy, saying Washington often overlooks real humanitarian crises in places like Congo, Gaza, and Sudan while exaggerating issues in other regions. According to him, “South Africa is committing genocide against Whites, but he can’t see the genocide in Congo, in Gaza, in Sudan. Yet, he claims Nigeria is killing Christians. If you come to Nigeria, you all will die here. Nigeria will be your graveyard.” Asari also dismissed the religious framing of Nigeria’s violence, saying the killings in the country are not driven by faith. “Everybody knows people are being killed left, right, and centre. But is it Muslim or Christian? I’m a Muslim who was made by non-Muslims,” he stated. He further reminded the U.S. of its military failures abroad, citing Vietnam as an example. “Did America not go to Vietnam? Didn’t they run? Where have they gone to and stayed?” he asked. Asari’s fiery message comes amid heightened global attention following Trump’s remarks about alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria.
