- The Nigerian state has to ensure that these culprits are brought to book, anything short of that would be postponing doomsday with a likely reoccurrence of this event

This man speaks with so much eloquence, authority and Confidence without mincing words. If the title “KING” is what it takes to be this brave and articulate, I think the
Other traditional rulers “OBAS and EZES”
should change their TITLES immediately.
HRH, King Bubaraye Dakolo,
You are indeed a brave man, very intelligent, articulate, and fearless.
Since the story of Okuama I think your insight makes more sense to many people as to why this type of conflict.
It is our hope that the Nigerian government will heed to your suggestions and be sincere enough to willingly do the right things and follow the right approach to resolve this and many more related security challenges.
Thanks again for your insight and contribution on this matter.
One thing I love is the ability of this Okuama people to continue to speak out
This man knows a lot.
Unfortunately, a few would consider his points as mere intellectual 💁🏽♂️
I said it before and I will say it again, individuals are undermining government, in the use of security forces for personal business concerns , to the detriment of the free citizens of the state.
Oil and Gas greed by those richer than the state is to social responsibility to these communities has been replaced by the use of government institutions.
The fact that this fearless man thought me in my secondary school days make me proud.... Even then, no student dared him as he equally had martial arts training!
What school what year
Pls, wat high school did you attend?
That's nice...
Please what is the book he kept referring to; The rhythm of what?
I like the fact that he's speaking without bias. The government has a role to play. The communities where oil is generated needs to look like communities that makes trillions for Nigeria. The people backing up militants needs to be brought to book. Soldiers and police too need to stop been one sided in enforcing the law too
Defended their country and their fellow Nigerians against who?? Against other soldiers who were involved in oil bunkering. It's all a big sharade. Thousands of soldiers are being sloughterd in the north by fulani and bokoharam, but no big honors like 8n this case?? Liegeria!!!
Guts and balls. His Highness has spoken eloquently well and should be applauded for choosing truth over sentiment. May his reign be long.
Long live the King! May his reign be peaceful.
The natural resources that is a blessing is now a big curse to the people cos of the greed of few
HRM Dakolo is truly a fearless royal father. He is speaking without bias. Until we begin to call a spade a spade and not a cutlery, this security menace would continue unabated.
This is one of the most brilliant interviews ever! Well done, Arise News!
My Highness, God bless you. You are a resource to us. Oil blessing came with poverty.
Double standard Military engagement for North and South.
1. Oil in Bayelsa belongs to Jigawa (Kinetic measure)
2. Gold in Zamfara belongs to Zamfara (Non Kinetic measure)
3. Happy ONE Nigeria
For once you have a guest speaking to the real issues the media and other guests have shied away from. Nigeria does not manufacture arms and hard drugs. The Nigerian customs must be held accountable. They've failed in their responsibility.
It is a pity that a sound mind like this has been reduced to a mere ceremonial position holder (Royal Father).
I want to believe this man is better in strong decision-making position. He is probably better than 80% of political office holder in his state.
Weldon His Roya Majesty 👌 Sound, truthful and fearless
If our Royal and political leaders are half as good, truthful and straight forward, Nigeria would not have become "Liegeria"
May his reign be long and may his forefathers be blessed for giving the military such a great mind. Other so-called Royal fathers shielded their children up in IV league universities and prepared them to take over Nigerian governance from the British government and multinationals!
Blessed be HRM Dakolo!
I agree with you ✌💯
It's a pity that here in Nigeria, we drive against traffic
I agree, it beyond what we see, oil is the issue, military should stop risking the life of innocent officials, the top military hierarchy knows the real issues.
Intelligently outspoken King 🤴. One in a million..my regards to you.
They sit there and ask useless questions,go there and find out for yourself,press my foot
lol! If you’ve been following the case very closely, the whole area had been condoned off. Even the state governor and the NPFs, had not been granted access, let alone the Lagos journalists.
Am so proud to have come from the south south All our royal fathers are so refined and informed,with on point discuss..Apart from the oil,these people intelligenttia is superb God bless the south south
Are u not ashamed to identify urself as south south?where in the world have u hear south south?? Mumu what of north north,east east and west west?? That's how Frederick lugard girlfriend named u Nigeria and mumu people like u are jumping up and down 😂
Long live your majesty so truthful.
This King is very sensible
Very Learned and Fearless Traditional Leader
I love this KING!❤
He is A ROYAL FATHER with so much gravitas.
Fearless and outspoken king 🤴
Who please ?
This Royal highness is sound. Bravo.
Very brilliant Monarch.
Very vibrant brain. Even the journalists met a brain
Very proud to have you as a royal father. May your days be long on the throne. Amen
Fallen heroes indeed, whats heroic about their fall?
Where they fighting for Nigerians or for their oga or for their pockets.
Nobody can take what does not belong to him or her and keep it forever.
Tinubu has this time and empathy to spare just because he wants to curry favor with the military to avoid being removed from his illegitimate position but he could not demonstrate same empathy and patriotism towards countless citizens who were massacred in cold blood by Islamic and Fulani terrorists in Plateau and Kaduna states
You hit the nail on the head. We didn't see him in Plateau, Kaduna, and elsewhere where his Islamic brethrens slaughtered our civilian citizens.
God's judgement awaits everyone
Military was not able to stop him from becoming a president, now he is their commander in chief, your which concerning this nation will be frustrated amen.
Great mind! HRH live long to guide our leaders especially the politicians! The truth is constant!
Long live the King
Whoever arms Asari Dokugbo is the same person or groups responsible for engaging the youths into this act and the presidency must be investigated
This king spoke very well with wisdom. All lives matter!
I agree with you ✌💯
Wisdom and knowledge is so powerful i so love this king great men like this king should have a position at Federal level more like adviser to the president
What of those community people that the soldiers killed? No one is saying anything. Why did the soldiers go against peaceful rules of engagement?
Just 👏. A very intelligent conversation that is all encompassing!!! Kudos to brains and high level strategic initiatives for solutions in the Niger Delta!!!
We keep call them fallen heroes, fallen heroes indeed, whats heroic about their fall?
Where they fighting for Nigerians or for their oga or for their pockets.
Kudos to HRH. There's so much tbis man knows and his knowledge can go along way in solving ND issues but trust Nigeria not to consult him. As for the journalists in Nigeria, it is very shameful that they've become armchair journalists, no investigative activities to uncover stories rather they relie on hear say. Shame on Nigeria media houses!
HRH King Dakolo is firm. Take it or leave it.
It is never acceptable for anyone to attack or harm law enforcement officers or military personnel who are serving their community or country. These individuals put themselves in harm's way every day to protect others and uphold the law. Violence against them is not only illegal but also undermines the fabric of society and can have far-reaching consequences.
It's important to remember that law enforcement officers and military personnel are human beings, too, with families and loved ones. They deserve respect, gratitude, and protection, not violence or harm.
Instead of resorting to violence, it's important to address grievances or concerns through peaceful and constructive means, such as dialogue, protests, or working with community leaders and authorities to bring about positive change.
Let's work together to build a society that values and respects all individuals, including those who serve and protect us.
His royal Highness, may you live long.
Highly knowledgeable Monarch.
Made objective and well articulated points.
Thank you sir.
I have visited him in his Palace and hear him speak in different forums, very brilliant and fearless.
All i see are Rogue soldiers period any body can go argue with there plasma
Absolutely 💯
What of the names of fallen Heroes of😢 BIAFRAN'S FREEDOM FIGHTERS ,Nigeria Government forces killed since the inception of our freedom. Nigeria Government must compensate the families of Biafrans you have killed their loved ones and free many who are still in your custody including our LEADER MAZI NNAMDI KANU
You are a fool.
This officer (rtd) and chief is an intelligent and honest man. One can easily tell these things yet many come to lie. Thanks to HRH
The one that got me was the response regarding advice for the BAT on solutions. Bluntly put HRH volunteered if indeed BAT read the copy of his book given to Tinubu during his campaign visit, "The Riddle of the Oil Thief," perhaps we won't be where we are today! Epic and telling the truth as it should be.
What noble duty are you talking about Dr Ab?...Nigeria army knows exactly what happened to thier men...
They didn't know because if you've been to these places you can hide on the creeks for years without finding them. And there are so many of these creeks out there.
Your highness sir, you spoke truth to power by nailing the head.. 4:53 ..
Pls how can I get the book “” The risen of the oil thieves “ book not available on Amazon and ebook
I can help
Will so much appreciate , so how are we to go about it .
❤he's very sound and articulated
In what sense were the 17 Soldiers killed heros and brave men, when they did not die in combat against another invading Country ? Tinubu has no condolence or honour to offer the 80 innocent civilians slaughtered by the same Military in retaliatory attacks.
There's urgent need to stop calling their death as active service, with due respect was peacekeeping in land dispute a role or function of the military?
😅
The king said it: Oil and gas induced violence.
His Royal highness has spoken the truth. Are the children listening? Come on now!
It seems as if the monarch is taking veiled jabs at Asari Dokubo and his armed militants when he mentioned disarming people without license to bear or carry arms.
Do you know where Asari operates? Do you also know where the problem occur? Igbos are really daft
Yes i agree with you, he was directing his statement towards Asari
Serious Root- Cause Analysis!
All this money no light in the town, no road no police station no food, no hospital, nothing is working , even those soldiers don't have light in their house , chai funny country
The king is speaking the truth but Nigeria doesn't listen or act right,they are very inactive instead of proactive.Nigeria doesn't study events therefore lose out in making use of future occurrences.
Real too questions,how can community kill 17 soldiers ? Where Does the community have such firearms?
I salute this royal father for speaking the truth to power. But then we also have to ask what the Niger Delta state govt doing for these pple, we are yet to see the effect of allocation of derivation. If we cant see positive effect of the current 13% derivation allocation, it is more than likely 100% will have any effect. Just like every state in Nigeria, our pple in respective states are the real enemies and not those in Abuja.
The Raw truth by HRH. The security is weak. The Niger Delta region is marginalized.
❤🎉 yes oooo😢😢😢😢
So the slained soldiers were armed? Because according to the military chief they’re still looking for missing arms and ammunition’s. There’s a lot about this that is not being let out.
That is why military didn’t allow delta state governor into okouama😅
Well spoken without beating the bush with fears.
Thank you Rufai for your probing questions - you constantly reminds me of fearless investigative journalist - late Dele Giwa.
The young King revealed what everybody knows- “Oil thieft and the magus/Bosses ” in the River line areas as source of the problem but as he was asked the patient question: why was the military raided the elder states man’s house - Chief Edwin Clark in search of culprits, he starts spinning; guns access, custom etc and of course as usual the “Victims Cards” - irrespective of corrupt mis-managed two commissions(NDDC, DELSOPADC)
It’s not only shameful but outrageous that these fine of the finest Military Officers gave their lives to a corrupt and lawless country - Nigeria.
Mr. Do you expect him to indict the hapless old man, just to satisfy your interest against a particular tribe
People that own oil see where they live Nigeria is were you will be suffering and another person will be enjoying your money
Every leader speaking in defense of imperialism, media cannot investigate. Okuama and neighbor pls accept my condolences, Waiting for another league of peace keeper deployed. Nigeria i salute you.
May their souls rest in peace.
Who are the police? the men busy callecting #100 naria on the road?or police what exactly.
The truth is that ijaw people are children of ozigwe of igodomigo who was also royalty and was building canoes and a strong warriors. The children establish the rivers, bayalsa, Cross River etc. This oil landlord are never owner of the land and they don't bring revenue to develop those areas.
7:55 General who? How is he untouchable? Please could someone tell me more.
Tell the children the truth right now. Come on!
Lol! Tinubu read the book? No your Highest. Even his PAs have not read the book and they will not read the book.
With guns, bulletproofs, boots and mass weight of any security personnel on a fast moving boat within forcados riverine...with a slight rift/tilt on the waterways create a fall will lead to disaster. One...the victim will have to reduce weight to survive...so...guns have fallen underwater, bullelproofs and personnels will surely drown with that weight. No be JuJu na weight and water.
My questions is that, while are those military men more important than those that have been kill by bandits
Most of them being killed in the North by Bokoharam and fulani herdsmen terrorists are from the South.
Because it’s a banana republic !
Why should buhari administration engage non state actors like dokubo in security matters?
😢
You guys keep emphasizing on military men being slaughtered what about the scores of innocent citizens that had been slaughtered by the military in their reprisal attacks and all their extra judicial killings they perpetuated even before the incident.
Dr. Ruben i have always admired your opinions but when you said on one hand yhat the army doesnot have jurisdiction over the matter but then that the 7 accused should turn themselves in. Is that not double talk?.Until the police declares them wanted thats when the should turn themselves in.Lets insist that the army should let the police do its job.I am an American veteran and i grief for my brothers in army but right is right.
The oil is now a curse to the people. My own family lands are gone, "unfarmable" i saw in then 70s till 2000s i keft that country. You can't see this kind of neglect in any western countries where oil is drilled. It is sad. As a soldier and son of dad and uncle who were in Nigeria Army and fought in the civil war, it is sad to see how the military is used by certain powerful cabals as dispute resolution agents. Globally, law enforcement or soldiers het killed when the make contact with any form of armed element. You have here a LT. Col, Majorss, Captain and NCOs 'ambushed' ? then you have the unethical military massacre of the defenseless citizens?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is so sad and so barbaric. May God help our Country.
How ?
There’s land , no food.
There’s crude oil,no fuel.
There’s smart people, Tinubu is presdent.😤
First oil well in Nigeria was founded in IHO-DIMEZE Ikeduru local government area of IMO STATE in 1948.
You will have to explain a lot to sell this foolish lies.
groundnut oil or palm oil is different from the oil we are talking about here
Kontinu 2 dream, then wen u wake up, Play. U go explain tire.😢😅
You are a tribal bigot, your lies will take you nowhere.
Nigeria government should do what's necessary, care for it citizens, pull it people out of poverty, create a nice environment for everyone to enjoy God's giving resources in the land, all this unreasonable blood shedding will just stop. But the political actors as hijacked the country.
Reuben dancing around and playing with words
But as e bust..captain and boys no go..major and lt colonel followed 😅😅😅..is that peace keeping..only the administrative unit can go for that
The king points to the squalor poverty, and asked weather you think that the people who did this think that they are Nogerians. How about Sarowiwa?
Why have not kaduna Chief, Emirs,Mala'ms not mandated by Tinubu to fish out Kidnappers, who kidnapped 280 school kids and teachers. Is Tinubu afraid of Northerners?
He is 💯
100PERCENT😂
This oil well matter need to be discussed..coz politicians hand dey,coz during election..the thugs wen government dey empower with cars and more...also known the culprit...incharge of the calamity, ask ifeanyi okowa...ask james manager, ask Kingsley otuaro brother, ask uduagha,with the ruler of gbaraamatu....
That day 9 ijaw died while 10 of ukuoma ,if you see the siena wen carry this boys to ughelli ...blood dey rush like tap only two survive, ask for ughelli the survived people from the front war...arise news una no get eye ,no one broadcast this as news. The ruler tried..hausa man get and own an oil well in bayelsa state...how possible..federal government oil..how e tey be federal ,the people dwelling there have no development..any unresolved issues affect the future
Why una nor post the videos or talk about am to sensitize Nigerians???
This man is not answering the questions. Why destroying E.K. Clark house?
Talking about developing the naija delta and other oil producing communities,untill the fedral govt allow local govt autonomy, where the people are in the know of how much accrues to their LGA's , we will continue to point accusing fingers at d not-so-innocent fedral govt.PBat has to ensure this is done , aswell decentralize d police so he can have a breather.
DAkolo my friend" this cap on ur head is not from ijoland" who give u that cap" were did u get that cap on ur head? Is it given to u by ur enemy the white man?
Nigeria president Tunubu? Tufiakwa Nigeria is a stupid big joke and its citizens helpless and subdued, what a tragedy 🖤😢
The military Hierarchy killed the police morel starting from Obasanjo military leadership era while the SHAGARI administration tried it's best to rebuild through Adewusi as it's Leader to a standard but the Buhari/IDIAGBON ERA that disarmed the Police and it's equipments both training institutions and training facilities
The Police became bastardized by the current POLITICIANS and incompetent leadership in the Police by allowing these callous politicians to misused and abuse the main purpose of the PMF personnel who are trained for riot quelling sake are turned around to orderly and house maiden even to their domestic servants.
The military Hierarchy is due to corrupt tendencies otherwise they knew they don't have the moral right to do the police duties
Our security forces has power on civilian
Very weak and useless !😅
First time some one is saying something..
😅others have been dodging…
The Nigerian security hrachy are very corrupt
