“Can this happen in America, where someone will just be walking down the street with such weapons?” “I am not surprised at all that Nigeria is lawless.” @Stingray101 commented.

“Some of us are familiar with Asari Dokubo’s trending video of men wielding assault weapons and RPGs,” @firstladyship wrote. According to those who grew up in Old Port Harcourt Township, the guns in that video are child’s play. There are numerous presidents in Nigeria (non-state actors). Buhari is a phony.”

@Christzy13, wtote “Is this making you happy?” It’s so wrong to see men walking around with guns and live ammunition in broad daylight, and I wish we had a government that could take decisive action.”

“I also wonder how they get all these promising young men to be this loyalist wielding weapons, putting their lives on the line for a man like them,” @Cchukwudi2277 wrote.
How much do they actually compensate/pay them in order to encourage them? “Omo, is this juju or not?”

Dokubo recently chastised Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.

He accused Obi of using state funds to fund his family business while governor of Anambra State in a video.

“In a normal country, Peter Obi would be imprisoned for investing state funds in a family business and failing,” the Niger Delta group leader explained.
