The constitution of Nigeria is probably the WORLD’S MOST FRAUDULENT DOCUMENT

Help Me Understand The Nigerian Mind

By Adeola Aderounmu

Officially, I have been writing about Nigeria since 2002. This blog became operational in 2006. You are reading one of the longest standing political blog in Africa (and the world).

Personally, I have swirled between hope and despair for Nigeria. I have gone from believing in the project to fully understanding the naivety of my hopes in a project programmed to failed.

Then I landed thoughtfully in my zone of preferential domain- when I left Nigeria in anger, cutting short my holiday in 2018-I vowed never to exist under the same sky at the same time a certain Buhari rules Nigeria. If I live, this would mean an exile to 2023. My reaction was a summative one, it could as well have been a response to all the collective stupidities of Nigerian politics, way of life, view of life and understanding of our existence as humans.

In 2018, my frustration with Nigeria reached its peak. You can read my blog from 2018 July, August…..probably to december where I documented my anger and reactions to a completely failed country called Nigeria.

In the most subtle form, I was one of those yearning for “Give me Oduduwa Republic” in conclusion to my blog posts few years back. It was a way to close essays highlighting the perpetual failures of Nigeria and the need to give me an alternative to battle with.

Let me tell you the reason for this headline. The probability that I have written about this before is 100% (1). PDP ruled Nigeria for 16 years and it turned out to be a complete disaster. APC has ruled since 2015 and Nigeria has gone from fire to hell.

Even if you were in doubts before 2015 as many of us were, as an adult who has functional brains, those doubts should have been cleared by now. Nigeria will NEVER make it under the current arrangement. The political system is wrong. The unitary system is a disgrace to the black race. The constitution of Nigeria is one of the most fraudulent documents in the world today.

How can any sane person be talking about participating in 2023 elections in Nigeria? How can any sane group of human beings be looking forward to prolonging the life span of the most fraudulent and most dangerous document in the world today-THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION?

I need help, to understand the NIGERIAN MIND.

I don’t need help to understand that many Nigerians are opportunists, pretentious, self-serving and extraordinary hypocrites. As long as things are fine/ok with them, they will continue to push the agenda that destroys other people whilst pretending to be on the same side as the people who are suffering.

This will not be a long essay. When you have written about a topic for 2 decades, you don’t state new things. Rather, you are amazed by the fact that the more people promise change, the more things stay the same or get worse.

The Nigerian Mind. If you understand it, you’ll heal the world.

The Sponsors Of Boko Haram

What is missing in this revelation is the role of the patrons. El Rufai, Bunu Sheriff and Buhari.

Apart from that, this video is an excellent revelation of the origin of Boko Haram and full blown terrorism in Nigeria.

The Re-education Of The African

The Re-education Of The African

By Adeola Aderounmu

Adeola Aderounmu

I have no doubts that we need to educate and re-educate Africans. My blog is not a source of historical facts, but I can reflect on what has been and I have a right to write based on my observations and inspirations.

There is no doubt that we have challenges in Africa. We do.

Sometimes I wish I could go out and preach, not as a lazy religious leader ripping the people of their hard earned monies, but as a preacherman asking the people to look deep into their souls and search within for the meaning of their lives and the significance of their existence in relation to their immediate habitat and in a global context.

In matters of African policy and politics, the intellectuals have been relegated and rendered insignificant. They have been pushed to the background, relegated and made voiceless.

Why do we need to educate and re-educate Africans?

We have lost touch with our culture.

We don’t speak our languages.

We don’t write in our languages. I am Yoruba and have not written Yoruba in several decades. I don’t know how to put marks on Yoruba letters. I am guilty. I need education

We need to teach us our culture and languages.

We need to teach us the goodness of our spiritualities and educate ourselves how to remove the evil part of our spiritualities.

We need to go back to our civilization. It was modern and progressive.

We need to find out why we lost the mind games that brought slavery and colonization to our lands. We shall not make the same mistakes now or in the future.

We need to wear our natural hairs and natural looks.

We need to write our own books and read them along with others. But ours must be the priority.

We need to educate ourselves and our children on the need to work together and build together.

We need the education and the re-education that will bring us glory.

We are AFRICANS.

Our stories and our existence go far beyond the origin of the Bible and Koran.

We owe it to ourselves to find out what went wrong.

I heard a brother asked: how did we fall to the foreign forces if our gods and ancestors were so powerful? It is a stupid question. It is like asking how the lizard got into your room despite the walls and windows. If you know how the lizard got into your room, you know the answer to your foolishness or carelessness.

We must with haste, re-educate everyone.

My generation may not achieve so much, but these things we write will help us and those coming after us to know that AFRICAN is the NUCLEUS of the world.

We need education and re-education.

This short essay does not say it all. I just wanted to wake you up. You’ve been sleeping since you were born.

Wake up and start your own re-education.

Start now!

A Very Weak And Absent Presidency

Killing her own citizens is the greatest sign of weakness any government can exhibit.

A Very Weak And Absent Presidency

By Adeola Aderounmu

In my post entry before this one, l wrote about the invincible presidency. This is a follow up.

Nothing has improved in Nigeria under the Buhari-APC mandate that conquered the country in 2015.

Less than 24 hours ago, there were reports that more than 60 farmers were attacked by Boko Haram in Borno State. We read that 40 of those farmers were slaughtered. 40 human beings!

Adeola Aderounmu

The presidency under the Buhari-APC mandate is a scam. Nigeria itself is a fraud.

On October 20, 2020, The Nigerian military attacked and massacred unharmed protesters in Lekki, Lagos. For details about the ENDSARS protests that ended in bloodshed across Nigeria, please do a google search for information.

It must be one of the greatest sign of weakness to shoot unharmed protesters, young people whose only fault is demanding an end to police brutality in Nigeria. The young people want a better life. Some of them were massacred by the weak Nigerian army aided by the weak Nigerian presidency. Their lives were taken away from them.

There was a young boy called PELUMI who was also murdered by the Nigerian Police in Lagos state. He had reported days earlier about a Lagos politician who was shooting indiscriminate at residents during the protest. He was an upcoming journalist, a student and the only son of his mother.

His life was sniffed away under the watch of one Jide Sanwoolu the governor of Lagos state.

There is a lot that is going on in Nigeria, most of them wrong things.

I have launched my own hashtag on twitter #invicinblepresidency to let the people releasing all types of statements on behalf of a certain brain-dead buhari that some of us are not idiots and many of us are ready to give our lives once we step on the Nigerian soil.

The thinking that all Nigerians are afraid of dying for the fight for truth and freedom is absolute nonsense. Show me one man or woman who would leave this planet alive and l will stop trying to fight for the freedom of people in Nigeria.

The presidency in Nigeria is disillusioned to think that bullets, massacre and imprisonment of innocent citizens is a sign of threat. That was the rubbish that the Buhari in aso rock was regurgitating in a recent speech. Killing your citizens is the greatest sign of weakness any government can exhibit.

There were other signs of weakness that came to light in the last one month.

The Buhari-apc manadate is not totally restricted inside Aso rock. The so called Buhari and one professor Osinbajo who is the vice president have never left Aso rock to other parts of Nigeria since about February or March 2020.

The useless central bank of Nigeria under whose watch the Naira has become the most useless currency in the world froze the bank accounts of some young people who played active roles in organising the ENDSARS protests. That is a fundamental sign of weakness.

The buhari in aso rock does not meet the press. He is either weak or totally brain dead.

Sanwoolu left Lagos twice to brief the Buhari in aso rock about what is going on in Lagos. That is even beyond weakness. That will be my next story. THE DEAD PRESIDENCY!
