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..!

You Cannot ”Go-Fund” Nigeria. It’s Hopeless!

You Cannot ”Go-Fund” Nigeria

I woke up this morning 10 January 2025 to a tiktok post by one Chidera Precious who wants to go-fund a local hospital in her village in Abia State. She had been on holiday from the United States and her sister required medical attention after a domestic accident. It became a nightmare when they visited the hospital and the hospital asked them to go and buy practically everything that her wounded sister required.

If you are interested in the entire story. You can search the name on tiktok. The comment section would also be worth reading.

My dear sister, you may have a good intention but…let me tell you the possible implications of the go-fund me. One idiot in the village may use the money to buy nice cars and a piece of land. If the fund became massive, the idiot would even build a house.

One boss at the hospital may actually buy the necessary items that you generated the funds for. But what happens when the fund is finished? Will you go-fund the hospital for life?

There are so many other things that may happen to the proceeds of the go-fund me. Let me leave that to your imaginations.

Nigeria can never be rescued with go-fund me initiatives in the field of medical facilities or health care infrastructure in general. 

The good thing with this initiative is that it is focused on a village in Abia State. However, it would seem that the village is in the sky. I mean, does the village not have a local government chairman? Does the state not have a governor? The village is not existing in isolation I would presume. So, there should be some annual budget for health in Abia state. There must be budget plans for all the hospitals in all the local governments and in all in health facilities in the state. Private hospitals must have their budget plans too and their operations must be based on available of equipment and medical resources. I hope.  

This village in Abia state is not alone. The entire health infrastructure in Nigeria is a complete disgrace to the intellectual well-being of the African person.

Many years ago on this blog, I suggested that there should be at least 108 functional world class general hospital in Nigeria. That is the least that Nigeria would need, in view of the ever-growing population. Dear Chidera, you cannot build 108 world class hospitals with go-fund me.

But my stance on Nigeria has changed along the line. I do not believe that Nigeria can be rescued, and I do not believe in Nigeria as a country. I have come to accept Nigeria as the business enterprise that the bastard British made it in 1914.

Therefore, my take is that the Biafra Nation or the Igbo Nation would care for the health of the people when Biafra is free. I believe that the Yoruba country would take the health of the Yoruba seriously when the Yoruba country is free. The same will be for any of the nations that are still entrapped in Nigeria, in 2026.

Someone may ask: what is the difference between the people ruling Nigeria now and those who will rule in Biafra or Yoruba countries. The difference will be huge my dear.

Nigeria is run as a business, so the idea of world class hospitals does not arise anywhere.

Biafra country, the Yoruba country, the Arewa country, the Niger Delta country would be governed as serious countries and not the business that Nigeria is. If you know the difference, you will find peace of mind and have great hopes for the unborn generations who would be beneficiaries of the potentials that are entrapped and enslaved in British-made Nigeria.

We cannot go-fund Nigeria. We need to fight for freedom. We need to set our entrapped countries free. We need to build the foundations for the children that are not born. We need to drop this hope and expectations that Nigeria will make it. We cannot wait for Nigeria to happen to us before we acquire or apply sense.

Advocating for Nigeria and hoping that Nigeria will become what we expect is no longer a dream. It has become a nightmare and the only time influential people realize this is when Nigerian suddenly happens to them. Meanwhile that is the Nigeria that we were born into, that is the only Nigeria we know, breath and sojourn daily. This Nigeria has no prospect for the unborn generations. It is based on me, myself and I. It is based on I pass my neighbour, it is based on myopic views about life.

We need to free the entrapped nations in Nigeria and that is the only way our unborn generations that compete in the world 50 years from now, 100 years from now and forver more.

We must let our stitch in time saves nine, and more.

A Risky Life.

By Adeola Aderounmu, Sweden.

The life of a Nigerian may be worth nothing. The entire world became shocked that Anthony Joshua lost his 2 friends in a fatal accident and there was no ambulance to take him (the survivor) to the hospital.

It’s been about 20 years now: stories and events like what happened to Anthony Joshua are what I have written about regularly. The fact that the world npw knows about the stupidity of Nigerian politicians does not mean that 36 world standard hospitals would be built in Nigeria. I wrote about the need for that few years ago on this blog. The unfortunate incident with Anthony does not even mean that any useless governor in Nigeria would provide more than enough ambulances to convey people from their homes or sites of accidents to hospitals.

What will happen is that amnesia will set in and life will go one until NIGERIA happens to the next person. I heard someone calling the Ogun State governor out. We have called that man out for many other reasons. Some of the worst roads in Nigeria are in Ogun State and to be sure Nigerian roads are the worst roads I have travelled in my life. That is personal because I have not been to so many countries.

But I refused to be dragged into what the solutions are for Nigeria. For Nigeria, there are no solutions because Nigeria was carved in 1914 as a business enterprise by the British for the pleasure of the English Royal family.

I want to be dragged into the prospects for the countries that are entrapped in Nigeria. The Yoruba country for example which (as western Nigeria) was one of the most developed places in the world until the senseless military coup of 1966 set stop to her development and dragged her in the gutters with the rest of Nigeria as a “unitary state”. Eastern Nigerian was also on her path as the technology capital of the world before the same useless 1966 coup in Nigeria.

If the progresses of Yorubaland were not truncated by the several coups that followed and many years of maladministration that continued to this day in 2026, there is no way we would have lost our place as one of the most developed places in the world and our hospitals, roads and schools would have remained world class.

In several essays my arguments are that Nigeria must be dismantled so that the countries within can emerge and start to plan for how their children and children’s children would live in the next 50 to 100 years. But what we see every four years are morons and MOFOS planning (s)elections and repeating the same cycle of idiocy, madness, and sycophancy. Then the people from whom history have been taken and who have been starved of knowledge and free thinking also helps to recycle a failed idea of unitary government that will forever promote the elites, their friends, families, and other acquaintances.

If Nigerians do not want their children to live a risky life, a worthless life, that they are now passing through, a life that can be sniffed away in the twinkle of any eye, they need to put a stop to Abuja politics, they need to put a stop to the stupid and nonsense unitary system of government. They need to demand for autonomy in the regions and possibly the emergence of countries just like the United Kingdom is made up of different countries.

Just imagine a world where the Yoruba country, the Biafra country and the Arewa can be present at the world cup at the same time. Imagine a fourth qualification by the boys from the creeks. In the British-tamed Nigeria, 4 to 5 countries can emerge that could play for honours at the world cup.  

In any case, there is a lot to continue to write about Nigeria until a certain generation would rise up against the useless type of government that pervades the land. There is need for re-education, re-enlightening, re-awakening that whatever led to the risky life we live, whatever led to the life of poverty we live and whatever returned us to the uncivilized era are reversible through conscious and collective efforts.

The acceptance of Nigeria can never lead to freedom or liberation. The acceptance of Nigeria is selfish, wicked and barbaric. We, the adults, cannot think now of what we stand to gain from/in Nigeria, it is too late. People need to wake up, smell the coffee and deliver to the unborn generations, countries that would allow them to seek peace and prosperity.

The unborn generations need to grow in countries where their potentials would be unleashed so that perhaps 100 – 200 years from today, they can catch up with the rest of the world and put Yorubaland, Igboland, Hausaland, Delta region and other places within the Nigerian geographical space in the fore fronts as world powers.

These countries entrapped in Nigeria can achieve such feats but Nigeria will never come close. The British did not create Nigeria to emancipate us, they did to enslave us and they are happy with our uncivilized ways-some people in Nigeria have never seen an ambulance all their lives an they have never experienced world class hospital facilities. They will never do!

Our politicians are also happy to keep us in slavery. Freedom will not be served on a platter of gold. It will come with the due resistance and the emergence of collective intellectual power/will.

The day we stop thinking of ourselves, the day we start thinking of the unborn generations, that is the day our march to freedom begins.
