The leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, NDPVF,
Mr. Muhajid Asari-Dokubo has joined the swelling rank of private university
proprietors with his establishment of a university in the neighbouring Republic
of Benin.
Asari-Dokubo,
who already owns a soccer academy in the West African country and another one
in Abuja, Nigeria, said the university, which will be known as King Amachree
African University, KAAU, had already been accredited to commence degree
programmes beginning September 2014.
According
to report, Asari-Dokubo disclosed in an interview in Abuja that the proposed
university, named after his ancestor, was a product of his two existing
institutions in Benin Republic, namely King Amachree Automobile/ICT Royal
Academy and King Amachree Arts Academy. Both of them, he added, currently award
Diploma to their students.
Asari-Dokubo
said he chose to establish the institutions in Benin Republic because he did
not only live there, but had adopted it as his country.
“What
we have now, we are awarding only diploma now. By next September, Insha Allah,
the university will start,” said Asari-Dokubo, who dropped out of the
University of Calabar.
“For
now we have King Amachree Automobile/ICT Royal Academy and King Amachree Arts
Academy. Two of them were merged. We have merged the two of them into King
Amachree African University. King Amachree is my great ancestor. He was King of
the Kingdom of new Calabar.”
On
his soccer academy, Asari-Dokubo, 50, an indigene of Rivers State, who refused
to be tagged a former militant, said it was established to train the youth in
soccer free of charge.
“We
plan to engage the youths. It is free. We have a soccer academy in Abuja and we
have another one in Republic of Benin,” he said.

Nigerians are forced to go to Benin Republic, Ghana, Togo and other
neigbhouring countries to acquire education due to the incessant labour
disputes and industrial actions within the Nigerian university system as well
as the deplorable state of education in the country.

May God judge those who hide under the guise of freedom fighting and emancipation for personal gains and wealth in this country. What has this same Dokubo done for his own peeps in the Niger-Delta other than turn them to lazy people who collect salaries from Jonathan in the name of being ex-militants? If he has chosen Benin Republic has his new country, then what business has he interferring in Nigeria's politics? Why should a foreigner have so much power in another country? I weep for my dear country. A few play God in the lives of millions but someday, the table will turn.
