Pius Adesanmi, Goodnight My Friend..!

By Adeola Aderounmu

In 2010, 9 years ago Pius wrote to me never to give up writing.

PROFESSOR PIUS ADESANMI, His last post on the social media.

 

So l am going to do just that. l will continue to write especially about Nigeria.

Pius left this world very untimely along with all the other flyers on that ill-fated Ethiopian Airline flight from Addis Ababa that crashed 6 minutes after take off whilst on the way to Nairobi.

It was a very unfortunate incident that will cost Africa several years to recover from. Many people on that flight were giants in their respective fields and you just need to look at the list to appreciate and understand the magnitude of the global loss. Children were on the flight too and it was a very sad day for the world.

l lost my friend Pius. Pius Adesanmi’s profile is too big to be encapsulated on my tiny blog and so l beg you to do an internet search to find out about him.

He was the director of studies at the Institute of Africa Studies, Carleton University in Canada.

Pius was an award winning author, a writer, a columnist and a rare gem in all ramifications.

He wrote to me first about 10 years ago encouraging me to keep writing and telling me that my content were powerful and impactful. At that time, the name Pius Adesanmi did not mean anything to me. But gradually, with time l began to realise how BIG and IMPORTANT Pius was in the academic world and the impact of his message sank in.

We chatted a few times and he even wanted to meet up when he came to Denmark at some point. But poor me, l was at the countryside and didn’t bother about my mails at that time. We missed each other and never met.

I was in Nigeria in 2018 at about the same time as he was. But when l travelled back to Sweden, he was in Nigeria and l got to know about it because he had an accident that was in the news. It was a fatal accident but he survived.

8 months later, and this!

We have lost a true son of Africa. The world had lost a global citizen. Please find time to read more about Pius, he was a jolly good fellow and l will misss him for as long as l live. I will miss our sincere chats and common views about creating a Nigeria devoid of mediocrity, corruption, intellectual laziness and ineptitude.

He wrote to me: DON’T GIVE UP!

I will never give up.

The Useless Representation Of The International Community During Elections In Nigeria

By Adeola Aderounmu

The elections that held in Nigeria on 23rd February was probably the worst or ranked among the worst in the history of Nigeria.

in this age of internet and social media generally, it was easy to see live coverage of disturbing images during the election. There were some coverages that were not transmitted live and some of them could be part of the fake news.

Watch this video here and see how one very stupid and extremely useless foreign observer tried to downplay the lives and property that were lost in this election.

The man making this presentation should be arrested and try by a court of law for lies and probable distortion in terms of the lives lost in Nigeria before and during the election of 23rd February 2019.

One can now begin to question the presence of international observers in Nigerian elections. There was another video making rounds of a foreign observer engaging in the distortion of election results in the southern part of Nigeria.

In any case, l think the bulk lies with Nigeria. Senegal held election in the country and in almost 50 countries in diaspora and it was hitch-free.

Our politics is a matter of life and death because Nigerian politicians are criminals and until they begin to go to jail or even executed, it does not seem that killings would stop at our elections.

The other critical aspect is the question of Nigeria as one country. What took place in Borno and Yobe on the 23rd of February were ballot papers were thumb-printed by a few guys in mosques and schools and the results showed record high figures dictated by INEC officials.

Again, l drift from the main essay because Nigeria is a major problem. One problem leads to another and your essay get longer and longer.

These international observers seen in this video should be sent packing from Nigeria and they should never NEVER return. These are not observers, they are MURDERERS!

2019 Nigerian Elections And A People’s Resolve To Remain Poor and Slaves

…But what you saw yesterday 23rd of February is tribal, religious and ethnic votings where the people are disorientated and they reinforced the notion that Nigeria is never going to work as a country but as a business enterprise where the winners take it all.

The AAC party and the #takeitback movement offered Nigerians another approach to life and a hope for the future. It is the closest thing to the mandate that the military gangsters stole in 1993.

The AAC was led by Omoyele Sowore.

Another notable party with a presidential candidate not tainted by previous engagement with either APC or PDP is ANN headed by Fela Durotoye.

In any case, the election results showed that either APC or PDP would win the presidency.

More than 100 million Nigerians are poor. They are living from hand to mouth. They are unsure of the next meal. These people are mostly unemployed and they live under some of the most inhumane conditions on earth.

On election day, there was only one way to show that they are not satisfied with the lives they are living, and that is to vote another party so that both APC and PDP should be empty on the ballot papers. That is the only thing that would have shown that Nigeria is a country unified against SLAVERY and TYRANNY.

But what you saw yesterday 23rd of february 2019 was tribal, religious, and ethnic votings where the people are disorientated and they reinforced the notion that Nigeria is never going to work as a country but as a business enterprise where the winners take it all.

From 1999 to 2015, PDP emptied the Nigerian treasury. From 2015 to date, APC has been emptying the treasury and the classical example was when 2 cash vans allegedly carrying over 100 million dollars arrived the home of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, one of the most dangerous criminals alive in the world today. He is of the ruling party, APC.

So rather than revolt with their votes and go for a new country where leadership will be accountable and where there will be null tolerance to corruption, Nigerians kept fate with their slave masters in both APC and PDP.

If Nigeria does not divide into various regions and if a war does not break because of the ethnic tensions, ethnic cleansing, killings by herdsmen, bandits on the rampage and Boko Haram war in the north, the people of Nigeria have decided to be slaves together for at least 4 more years.

I want this to be a short essay because l have written about all of these since 2002 and to have the courage to continue is definitely legendary. How many bloggers are left to write about these things since we started blogging back in the days?

So my congratulations to the slaves of Nigeria. They keep shouting, who is Sowore, what is AAC? They are mocking us for not seeing that Nigeria is a two party state. Really? Two parties? They mean the same party organised into 2 for the same purpose of stealing, looting and enslavement. But they know nothing..! lgnorance and almost complete lack of public education have taken their tolls on the average nigerian mentality and way of reasoning.

I mean even if AAC or ANN are not as popular as PDP and APC, are there not enough reasons to see that APC and PDP are the same criminal organisations that regularly interchange members? But like l opined earlier, Nigeria is not a country, so the different ethnic groups continue to fight for the center and the unitary system of government makes Nigerians one of the most low level thinking humans as far as politics is concerned.

I wish you a happy journey to the next 4 years of slavery.

Thank you Sowore (of AAC), and thank you Durotoye (of ANN) for fighting a good fight. You guys were new on the block and you gave us hope for a moment. Now as we (Sowore, Durotoye and l) go towards our 50th birthday, let us sit back and have fun. We have done our bits and we deserve to chill sometimes.

But it would be nice to see you fight again if Olodumare gives us the grace to be alive at the next opportunity. Afterall life expectancy in Nigeria is about 40 years now! (a private communication with my medical doctor friend at LUTH is the source) and we have lived a bit more than that already. We are survivors!

Thank You Sowore, thank you Durotoye!

Best of luck to the 100 million slaves about to take a bow to APC + PDP.

Keyamo, APC Attack Dog 2

By Adeola Aderounmu

 

Yes l am very emotional about the nature of politics as practised by apc n pdp.

Yes l am emotional l have deleted people on my friends’ list in a couple of places.

As long as this is wrong, l will be emotional about it.

Listen to a lawyer supporting the murder of Nigerians without trial.

All in the name of politics and the money they are stealing.

Is this one a lawyer? No. This is just an attack dog. Yes l take it personal. This is my blog and that is why it is my blog since 2007.

Everyone can start a blog and express their feelings and emotions.

How many of us started with blogs in 2007? How many of us are left today? Where did they go? They joined politics and took sides with the oppressors. They joined politics and became spokesmen of the murderers.

Look at this man very well. This is EVIL PERSONIFIED.

The man he is defending truncated civilian rule on a number of occasions. So tell him that BUHARI is the first man today who should be shot dead!!! This is the implication of what he is saying and he is supposed to be a lawyer but he does not even realise the contradiction. This is a worthless attack dog! No one can quantify my ANGER looking at this piece of SHIT! But hey! This is my blog!

Please let me be emotional. Let me use whichever language l like because this video shows an animal who should be locked up in a cage.

This is not a lawyer. He should burn!

Oshiomhole As APC’s Attack Dog

By Adeola Aderounmu

This man is out of control. He is literarily asking Buhari to abandon democratic principles and take down opponents and #INEC.

This speech was the one that preceded Buhari’s order to kill ballot box snatchers.

This man Oshiomhole ought to be arrested for provocation, for looting Edo State and for stealing all the monies paid as nomination fees by APC contestants.

This type of people with serious mental problems should not be seen in public in Nigeria. This is a disgrace to the black race.
