My Random Reflections @ 54

If you are seeing this headline for the first time, you are welcome to the series which started when I clocked 36 years. It means that we near us 2 decades on this series. How time flies. I was born July 12.

I ‘ve made it a habit to reflect on Nigeria on my birthday. The publication may be a few days later like this one.

A few things crossed my mind lately and I will try to remember them.

First is the issue of the people still fighting like heroes like Nigeria can be rescued. Some people think that one good leader can steer Nigeria to greatness. It is absolute nonsense. If one man says he will bring Nigeria to glory, that man is a criminal. He is looking for his daily bread and he sees the possibilities in deceiving the people. Since 1979, I have not seen a man who could have saved Nigeria.

Shagari had no idea of leadership. He was a complete decoration and waste of resources from 1979 to 1983. Buhari was a nuisance from 1983 t0 1986, killing, maiming and stupidly rationalizing decrees and draconian rule. He made the citizens looked like slaves. From 1986 to 1993, that criminal called Babangida made sure Nigerians ate from the dustbin. From 1993 and for a short while, one useless Shonekan was appointed to rule Nigeria on an interim basis and he accepted. All that just to deny MKO his democratic mandate.

Another useless moron called Abacha ruled Nigeria until his death in 1998. Then another criminal and probably also a terror sponsor called Abdulsalami came and used military constitution to install Obasanjo as a democratic president. The elections were rigged.

Obasanjo and Atiku looted Nigeria for 8 full years, 1999 to 2003. At the end they became each other’ enemies and exposed each other’s corruption through newspaper publications. The whole world saw and read how Atiku sold Nigeria in the name of privatization. Obasanjo took the money budgeted for power infrastructure. Abacha’s lootz that were returned to Nigeria disappeared under Obasabjo, Atiku and Iweala. You think there are saints who will save Nigeria. Then you need a brain reset ASAP. Atiku is still trying to be president. If Nigeria was a country, all these people will die in prison. Atiku would not even be a free man. Today he is forming opposition. I just dey laugh.

Obasanjo installed Yar Adua in 2007.. The man died while in power and then came a drunkard called Goodluck Jonathan under whose reign money disappeared with the winds. That London court that acquitted Allisson is a junk court. Under these people, Nigeria’s money grew wings and flew all over the world, to save haven and into private pockets. Nigeria is a complete mess, a geographical expression for the winner takes it all (Emilokan syndrome).

You can search for these criminals’ names on my blog to read more about their regimes and how they destroyed Nigeria. They did not do it alone. Every regime had hundreds or thousands of accomplices who together planned how to steal, loot and get away with the loot. You will find accomplices in every government house across Nigeria. There are judges, there are ministers, local government chairmen and all sorts of people short changing the system. They can call it dividends of politics, but every 1 naira stolen in Nigeria without prosecution or any other consequences are the outcomes you see today. I will not even try to list out how religion has been used to sustain the mad politics in Nigeria.

After Jonathan came Buhari again riding on the back of promoting and sponsoring terror/terrorism in the North. Buhari wasted another 8 years doing nothing but sympathizing with terrorists who acknowledged him as their spokesman, a tag he never denied in his lifetime. How can a man who was tagged as terrorist’s spokesman be allowed to become a president. In my opinion, Buhari was a tyrant. I have stated somewhere that he was a man I could not have employed in any position outside a military establishment. He is dull, lacked intelligence and cannot carry out an administrative function, but he was president. President my foot! Nigeria remains a joke where a man without brains can become a president. What do you expect?

Now we have Tinubu since 2023. From the first day he was bundled into office, the only thing I have heard was that he would be president for 8 years. I don’t even know how a person with drug related charges would first become a governor, now president. I have no idea. But his chief of staff was also a criminal, also from America. So, you see when criminals run government and you are hopeful, it seems you are a mad person yourself.

And when I see people shouting Peter Obi, I also see mumus. This was one of the most prominent criminal Nigerians listed in the Panama papers. Obi is chasing Atiku’s records as the most prominent political prostitutes in the history of the world. Right now Atiku holds the records for the man who has switched or form more political parties than any man in human history. Obi is chasing that records.

Why are they super desperate to rule Nigeria? What I know is that everyone I have listed in this essay is a criminal. So when you are forming activists or asking people to get PVC, my question is: Who are they voting for? New criminals or old criminals? In which country? This same country I have observed at close range since 1979? Are you crazy a bit or very much.

VDM and Sowore are just jokers. VDM and Randy Peter don’t know the history of Nigeria. That I why the politicians don’t take them too seriously. They may respond to them but they know they will fade with time

If you know Gani Fawehinmi, you will understand that VDM and Peter are just creating contents. Gani gave his life to Nigeria, nothing happened! There are mighty men of valor who thought Nigeria can be saved. I can’t say that they died in vain but this generation knows nothing about Nigeria. They will learn. Sowore should know that Nigeria cannot be steer by one man. If he does not know, then his education is wasted.  

In 2027, (s)elections would be arranged as I have seen since 1979 and the nonsense will continue. The EFCC will pick all of us up, one by one, they will shut us down, bit by bit. People will forget about us, like the speed of light. Why? Because it is Nigeria and you cannot change Nigeria.

The only way forward is to boycott elections, stay at home and force the disintegration of Nigeria into the different nationalities. Remove Abuja politics, send the useless politician to their origin, let them go and form their governments in their regions. Nobody said this would be easy or a piece of cake. It should be the last function of any reasonable National Assembly, to create governable nations out of this useless ungovernable Nigeria.

To think that one president in Abuja can govern Nigeria and bring good things to more 200 millions people belonging to uncountable ethnicities, speaking different languages, different cultures, values and reasoning, is just like living a stupid life. You need a brain examination.

In the days ahead, as long as Nigeria exists, the APC will use the different government institutions to frustrate different individuals and different political parties, and APC will get away with it.

In Nigeria, the ruling party is what you call the Winner Takes It All. Jonathan was weak and he feared for his life, that was why he more or less ran away. That was why mumu Buhari came to power.

There are so many thoughts on my mind. For example, the rise and rise of terrorism in Nigeria. You need to be worried about the percentage of area that terrorists now govern in Nigeria. It is substantial. You need to be worried that education is not yet free (even in public schools) while one person in Nigeria will use politics to steal 12 billion dollars, 16 billions dollars! Nigeria is a yeye country. You need to be worried about a lot of things, and you need to know that the answers are not in prayers.

In 20, 30 or 50 years from now, life may be good in Biafra. It my be good in Yoruba Country. Arewa may be free from terrorism. But the fact that these countries do not exist today, or that we have not planned for them to exist tomorrow means we may likely die in our hopelessness. Penury and poverty will take a life long ride with millions of Nigerians, more than 120 million in my last estimation, making Nigerian mass poverty one of the most tragic incident ever in human history.

You don’t have to share my opinions: we will all soon be gone from the face of the earth. It’s not a curse, it is destiny. May our children change the course of history, may they find peace and may prosperity be theirs, not in Nigeria, but in the nations stolen from their ancestors by the imperialists. May those who created Nigeria find no peace, may they not find rest and may confusion ruin their existence.

May the truth set us free.

Tinubu’s Jaguda Government (Part 4)

Tinubu’s Jaguda Government (Part 4)

By Adeola Aderounmu (Sweden)

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is holding on to the culture of criminality in Nigerian politics. He came to power in 2023 through elections that are (as usual) questionable. There is at the moment (July 2026) a very well-known scandal that should have led to one or two consequences. If Nigerian politics has any iota of credibility, Bola Ahmed Tinubu should have been eased out of power and democratic procedures would have ensured to find a suitable replacement. Shettima is not a suitable replacement even if he is the vice-president. He cannot deny his involvement in the rise of terrorism in Nigeria.

The other possible consequences would have been the outright sacking of Femi Gbajabiamila who is the chief of staff to Tinubu. To sacrifice Gbajabiamila would have taken a lot of pressure off Bola Ahmed Tinubu and even his worst enemies would see such a decision as a big positive point in the regime.

But as usual, as it is with Nigeria’s useless politics, Tinubu is pretending as if nothing happened that he or the useless APC government cannot contain. This has been the common practice in Nigerian politics and the reason for the first line of this essay; that Tinubu is keeping the culture of making sure that Nigerian politicians remain the criminals that they are and that there is no sign of change in sight.

There are allegations that Femi Gbajabiamila took bribes from at least one person who now heads a government establishment. The person, one Prince Adeyemi alleged that he paid N600 million to Gbajabiamila so he could be appointed into position of head of parastatal. He stated that he made an initial payment of N400 million and will balance Femi Gbajabiamila N200 million.

Mr. Adeyemi is the Director General of Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC). PFIPC is under the Presidential Economic Advisory Council, which means it was established directly under the Tinubu-led presidency. The PFIPC parastatal was allocated N1,6 billion in the Nigerian 2026 budget and president Tinubu signed the budget.

For some reasons, things fell apart between Adeyemi and Gbajabiamila and Adeyemi spilled the beans. Suddenly Tinubu and his niche of crooks declared that Adeyemi is a fraudster who has been parading himself as the DG of PFIPC, and that in principle, the PFIPC does not exist.

I do not want to over flog the issues here and it will not be my role to pre-empt what should actually become a legal tussle.

But how come Tinubu and the Nigerian lawmakers signed N1,6 billion to an agency that does not exist? The agency, PFIPC, has offices in the Federal Secretariat and runs a bank account with the Central Bank of Nigeria. The agency has many employees and they are paid by the Nigerian government. Is the Tinubu government full of criminals everywhere, even to the Central Bank?

Tinubu cannot wash his hands away from this scam or scandal. How many more agencies exist just to steal money? How many more Director Generals paid N600 million to influential people in Tinubu’s government? We know that this has been the procedure in Nigerian politics but this is one of the few moments a payee (in this case Mr. Adeyemi) is stating how much he paid and to whom. He allegedly paid Mr. Gbajabiamila, the chief of staff to Tinubu.

 Let me restate my take on this matter. Femi Gbajabiamila should be sacked or Mr. Tinubu should resign. One of the two would avail much even if Nigeria is not used to such adjustments based on criminal activities in government.  

It does not matter that the 2027 elections are in focus. The elections are useless already anyway and completely unnceccasry. If a president is openly seen to be a criminal or if his chief of staff is openly known to be a criminal, one or both of them must leave the government. This is the meaning of sanity.

What is playing out in Tinubu’s jaguda government, like all the previous governments before him, is unacceptable and heads need to roll.

In all of this, I must not fail to mention that I don’t believe in Nigeria. I cannot hide my joy for Cape Verde at the 2026 World cup. Cape Verde has a population of roughly 500 thousand people and made it to the World Cup, showing great courage, hope and unyielding loyalty to country. Nigeria has over 200 million people who are confused about their identities and the way forward for their lives. Nigeria is a blend of confused nationalities who will never reach their potentials in the dangerous mix concoted by the British gangsters over 100 years ago. This is a narrative I intend to go to the grave with even if Yoruba Country never emerges again in my life time.

Threfore, even if I still write about these ills in Nigeria, like this useless Jaguda government under Tinubu, the focus is not to drag the Yoruba country into such criminalities without consequences as we have seen with Nigerian gangster rulers over the decades.

Unless the countries entrapped in Nigeria are free and allowed to thrive, we will be back with these same narratives 100 years from now. That is the genetics of Nigeria.

Why Always Agbado? What About Educational And Infrastructural Empowerment?

/ Adeola / Leave a comment

By Adeola Aderounmu

Mrs. Tinubu’s suggestions that she’s empowering citizens to sell agbado, kuli kuli, akara and groundnuts showed complete lack of intelligence. She was also excited to have used funds as high as 2 billion naira to support TB without telling us where the money was taken from. We don’t know who collected the money and how it was spent.

I am shocked at the level of what the people who are hopeful about Nigeria are dealing with.

There are people around the world making decent living through the use/application of technology. Super users and non-Super users alike now provide services and tap loads of resources through Artificial intelligent resources. Some resources are free and limited, yet very useful. Graphics, texts and animations have been taken to a whole new level. Both old and young people make major or passive earnings depending on their coverage, scope or involvement in the use of AI. There are endless possibilities with the use of AI.

The public educational system in Nigeria would be a way to re-empower young people in various ways of life. Today, there is no free education in Nigeria. I don’t have the records but I can make a guess that the level of literacy would have declined. Personally, my heart was broken into pieces when I learnt that the least amount a child can pay for registration in a public school in Nigeria is N70k. There are many things in this failed country called Nigeria that break me daily. I don’t want to recount all of Nigeria’s problems in this essay. It is impossible to list here the problems that I have lifted for more than 25 years.

A sensible person would not mention empowering street hawkers as a measure of renewed hope for election campaigns. You can rather boast of world class supermarkets where shops are rented and goods and services are provided over covered roofs and with constant electricity. Mrs. Tinubu should be boasting about the empowerment that can cover all Nigerians through the availability of constant electricity.

Mrs. Tinubu could have suggested her fight for the education of the young people. She could mention as renewed hope the plans of the government to make public schools functional again. She can tell us of her lobby to ensure that school fees or registration fees are completely removed from basic primary education all over Nigeria.

Before I forget, she is the first lady. She is not saddled with the function of making Nigeria work. So, she could have remained silent. There is a president in Nigeria. There are ministers, there are governors, legislators and so many duplicated offices and positions that do nothing good in Nigeria. They can steal, loot and walk free with crimes and atrocities.

Mrs. Tinubu probably got her inspiration from politicians empowering this constituencies with torchlights, wheelbarrows, tyres, cooking pots and stoves. She can boast of spending 2 billion naira just like that with the same impunity as the regular criminal politicians. She has no sense or fear that investigations could be carried out to ascertain her claims and where the 2 billion came from/went to. She was not more intelligent than how she spoke and her poor reasoning. She represented her family in the most shameful way. She reflected a failed country gathering round useless elections every 4 years rather than gathering round a table to navigate the way forward on how to exit a doldrum. There are no plans yet in 2026 not to hand over Nigeria to terrorists.

In 2027 Nigerians will gather to choose between all the evil forces and political prostitutes who have raped this country as former governors in state houses and former custodians of power in Aso rock. Who will tell them that for as long as the system of government is wrong, the choice of the evil that preside would not matter?

For you cannot continue with something that does not work and expect a positive outcome unless you are totally insane.  As long as Nigeria runs on a unitary system of government, a Mrs. Jonathan would be replaced by a Mrs. Tinubu and a Mr. Buhari would be replaced by a Mr. Tinubu. If you like, bring a Mr. Obi or a Mr. Atiku, you will have my essay as a reference (as it has been since 2011 or 2006) that elections are not the solutions to Nigeria’s problems.

The system must change, and the change must be done at a round table. For example, Abuja politics need to end and the regions must be returned to the economic power they had before the 2 useless coups of 1966. Only a pre-civil war status can offer hope for what is left of Nigeria.

 It would take a few decades to reap the dividends of a change system. For that reason, the useless elites and politicians in Nigeria have resorted to promising quick gains through elections. As a keen observer of Nigerian elections since 1979 (yes 1979) I can tell you for free that the template had never worked. It will never work.

Mrs. Tinubu was appalling. But she reflects a bigger problem that must be fixed, not by another stupid and useless election, but by the resolutions of men and women who can boldly sit around a table and navigate the future for their children, children’s children and the unborn generation.

We Must Secure Yorubaland

We Must Secure Yorubaland

By Adeola Aderounmu

In March 2020 a bomb blast ravaged Bethlehem Girl’s College in Abule-Ado Lagos State. In my response, I urge the Lagos State government, the governors in western Nigeria and the Ooni of Ife to secure Yorubaland.

Before that terror last that destroyed the entire Catholic girls’ school, the environment and several lives, Lagos and western Nigeria was an easy target for uncountable and undocumented terror attacks in forms of truck drivers running into a crowd or the trailers exploding.

Lagos and Yorubaland in general have been a testing ground for terror attacks.

Now, in 2026, terrorism is full blown in Yorubaland.

In several articles and essays over the past decade, I have personally warned that this day would come. I have been screaming that Yorubaland is not secure but I also imagine that we don’t read nowadays and I am also aware that my audiences may not be as far reaching as I have thought.

I continue to hope that since my articles are online, they would be available to a certain generation that would understand the enormity of the problems facing Yorubaland. My generation has joined the previous generations to be classified as the wasted generation. It seems that the generation of Yorubaland custodians between 30 and 40 years today are also totally wasted away!

I have used Festac Town as a case study several times. If the Fulani or the non-Nigerian population in Festac Town decide to eliminate all Yoruba (and other occupants of Festac today June 6, 2026) I think that to a large extent, they would succeed.

As far back as 2016 when I lived for a few days at a hotel on 3rd Avenue in Festac Town, I was shocked by the way Festac have been occupied by Fulani-Hause and probably non-Nigerians.

In 2025 when I walked down 24 Road, 72 Road on Festac Town, I saw another explosive population of Fulani-Hausa and probably non-Nigerians selling everything in the world along the streets of 72 Road.

The consequences of the invasion of Yorubaland under several disguises including the generational sale of cattle, goods and services are that terror cells have multiplied across Yorubaland.

Again, writing about these things means that I am repeating things that I have openly warned about in the past. I wrote that when the time to unleash terror on Yorubaland begins, Yorubaland land may be conquered by the invaders. Sometimes, some things appear impossible or unimaginable, until they happen!

But when you wake up in your house or apartment and you are not sure if you would be taken away by the first person you meet outside your door, then the conquest has gone beyond physical and has become psychosocial. You live in fear. Your lives are in danger.

Your children are taken, their bodies dismembered. Your teachers are kidnapped and killed. Your chiefs and Obas are ridiculed. Your cousins are kidnapped. Your neighbours disappeared without a trace and you wonder when it is your turn. Your enemies got your exactly where they want you.

They occupy your forests; they bring their animals to eat your crops.

In some parts of Nigeria, villages are deserted and the owners of the land have vanished.

Then you shout, one Nigeria! You are not just a fool; you are a lost fool.

How is Nigeria one when you cannot live freely everywhere in the country? How is it one country when the Fulani terrorist is looking for your heads to cut away?

I am not just calling out to the irresponsible “leaders” in Yorubaland, I am calling on you as a Yoruba to secure your land, your environment, your culture, your heritage, your institutions and everything traditional that your ancestors bequeathed to you.

It is your turn as your read this to act, protect the ancestral land and bequeath it in peace to your children and your children’s children.

Your may think you are not at war, but you are in essence.

The war stops when you take control of your land affirmatively, you control your resources, you control your forests, you control your cities. You control your schools, your education, your health institutions. The war stops when you modernize your transport and do away with Okada menace. It stops when you plant your crops, rear your animals, control your good production and engage only in foreign trade from a distance from the enemies that have invade your land and brought you fear.

I can tell you several things your will enjoy when you take control of your life, not least electricity supply, good roads and a more peaceful life in pursuit of happiness in a free and liberated Yoruba country.

Yoruba, Omo Oduduwa, secure your land and let the invaders be gone in no time.

Trumps’ ICE probably the most dangerous terrorist organization in 2026

Trumps’ ICE probably most dangerous terrorist organization in 2026

By Adeola Aderounmu

ICE has publicly executed 2 American citizens in the last few days and it is just January 25 in 2026.

Alex just before he was executed by the terrorist ICE organisation.

On 24th January Alex Pretti was shot to dead in public by a mob of Trump’s ICE agents. He was an ICU nurse. 37 years. A few days before, a young woman (Renee Good) was executed in her car. She was also 37 years old.

These are the public executions that we see because of the power of the mobile phones and the social media. The question is: how many other executions have taken place where there are no mobile phone recordings or social media transmission?

Is this 2026? Or is this 1934?

It is hard to believe that US citizens would allow a government to survive more than 24 hours when it is to clear that the government has become the biggest sponsor of domestic terrorism on the American soil.

US is now one of the worst countries to live in. It is now a country where remaining alive is a matter of chance. You could be stopped by an ICE agent on the order of Donald Trump and shot dead just like that! Summary execution, no trail and no justice!

We saw videos of some immigrants (joking or not) taping their American passports to their heads while they move around. Who would blame them? Imagine being shot dead before you have a time to explain yourself to Trump’s deadly terrorist organisation (aka ICE).

In my opinion, ICE is a terrorist organization. The people representing ICE meet the classification for homeland terrorists.

They are home-breed terrorists considering what they have unleashed unto the innocent citizens of American and immigrants trying to make a normal living in America.

It is not my undertaking in this blog entry to list out all the atrocities that ICE has committed under a Trump presidency. My aim here is to document that in view of what ICE has done, it qualifies to be tagged a terrorist organization. We must not allow distortion of present events and we must not allow distortion of past events.

Whatever the US citizens make of their presidency is up to them. But they should be ashamed of themselves because they live in a country that pretend to export sanity and order to other countries, yet American citizens are executed in broad day lights by American government, and streamed to the rest of the world.

Imagine what Trump or the American government would have said if BOKO HARAM carried out these executions in Nigeria? Imagine the reaction of Trump and the American government if these executions were done in any of the Middle East countries?These atrocities are condemnable in every society and in every country. No country, no government should be executing its own citizens. Government sponsored terrorism must be brought to justice anywhere in the world and the ruler or leader or president under whose watch citizens are executed OUGHT to be arrested by security forces.

Nobody should be above the law in an sane country.

I stand with Renee Good as much as I stand with Alex Pretti, even in death. I stand with their families to condemn the terrorist acts of ICE in the US. I do not stand with US citizens who make these public executions look normal. I can never stand with any form of terrorism or oppression.

I remember in Buhari’s Nigeria I wrote that we should never, never stand with tyranny. I am writing this now to all US citizens around the world, you should never, never stand with tyranny.  It may come, and consume you, today or tomorrow.

If we have nothing to die for, we do not have anything to live for either. Put fear aside and stand for something..!
