An ex-militant, Asari Dokubo has said the South East region has barren soil and does not have any natural resources.
In a mocking post on his Facebook page, Dokubo said that Igbos are only experts at turning money into money which can be achieved through a peaceful environment.
Dokubo is noted for making uncomplimentary remarks about the region after a fallout with the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who also made series of uncomplimentary remarks about leaders in the Niger Delta.
Kanu had accused Dokubo of misappropriating millions of naira giving to him by the group, an allegation he denied.
Dokubo, amongst other things, also accused Kanu of running IPOB as personal property and threatening to annihilate Muslims.
He said “Aproko TV? Hard Facts!
Southeast Nigeria has almost no substantial natural resources.??
The South East is almost a barren soil.?
The South East has no outstanding Federal importance. ???
The only thing the Igbos in the East have to their advantage is the ability to turn money ? into more money ? ? ?; but they can only achieve that if the East is peaceful for business.
Today the Southeast has begun a movement that could turn the East into a desolate desert ?️….
