In the last 48 hours alone, unspecified number of people have been killed by the Nigerian military/police forces.
At the home of Sunday Igboho, different accounts continue to suggest different numbers of people killed. At least 2 are dead.
At the Lagos Rally of the Yoruba Nation which held ib July 3 2021, a 14 year old girl was shot dead by the Nigerian police.
As I wrote on my twitter page, if 1% of what has happened in NiGERISA
Intellectualism is not wholly a function of formal education.
Intellectual Poverty In Nigeria
By Adeola Aderounmu
On June 9, 2007 I defined mass poverty on my blog. In my own opinion, that was the first definition of mass poverty anywhere. I wrote the definition for mass poverty by combining the words “mass” and “poverty”. A few years later, I read that Nigeria was the poverty capital of the world. I think that official report coming from a global organization was almost a decade behind. Today, I want to use the stupidities of some Nigerian footballers to explain intellectual poverty.
Have you seen the pictures/images of some famous Nigerian sportsmen with the tyrant of Kogi, one sycophant called Yahaya Bello? Yahaya Bello wants to be president of failed country called Nigeria. Nigeria is devastated by terrorism. In a very loose manner the useless government of Nigeria branded terrorists as bandits, unknown gunmen and all sorts of fancy names for reasons best known to them. In several other articles, twitter posts and Instagram miniblogs, I have motivated why the useless government of Nigeria is the chief sponsor of terrorism in failed and devastated Nigeria.
I fear that even as Nigeria comes to an end, for it will-sooner or later, there will be serious problems in the emerging nations because the people who brought Nigeria down will be fairly distributed among the nations.
About 2.5 months ago, the big head Yahaya Bello arrested 2 young men Anene Victor and Emmanuel Larry. Their offence? They were putting up anti-Buhari posters in Kogi state. It has been 68 days of unlawful detention, under the orders and watch of tyrannic Yahaya Bello.
Now, when a governor or his lobby team approach you for a courtesy image boosting visit, you should now only show interest in the amount of money you are about to make. It is imperative that you also look at the human rights records of the governor. You should look at the workers in the state- are they getting paid? You should also look the pensioners. How is their living condition after retirement? Then you look at the infrastructure and so on. It was in Kogi we saw a bridge collapsed after it was allegedly constructed for millions of tax-payer monies. We have also seen a school located in open space, under a tree! In Kogi State!
Everything is important because as a sportsman or woman, especially one that is based abroad, you know the kind of rights and privileges you enjoy at your base. You have also achieved your successes without the input of the governor materially or economically.
It is at these points highlighted above that the likes of John Mikel Obi, Kanu Nwankow, Kelechi Iheanacho and one fighter called Usman have shown extreme intellectual deficiencies. These guys are suffering from chronic intellectual poverty. They are good at their sports, but they have malfunctioning cerebral functions.
You may understand how Nigeria became a terrorist country and why things have not worked in Nigeria since 1960. The things that have exceled in failed Nigeria are organized crimes in government and private institutions. Institutionalized corruption has triumphed in failed Nigeria and the climax was the acts of terrorism made spectacular by PDP and APC.
Intellectualism is not wholly a function of formal education. There are a lot of people out there who are intelligent, smart enough to discern good from bad. There are people who use their common sense to achieve intellectualism. The likes of Mikel Obi, Kanu Nwankwo, Usman and Iheanacho are super daft. Even that Usman who blasted “Buhari” in a popular viral video when Buhari massacred young people at Lagos Lekki toll gate came to Nigeria to show his super daftness. He is worse on the scale as he continues to stupidly gallivant from one governor to the other.
In the future, Nigeria will be disintegrated for sure. When people like Mikel Obi, Kelechi Iheanacho and Usman are given positions in their respective new nations, you can imagine the stagnation that will characterize their respective roles or allocated functions.
I fear that even as Nigeria comes to an end, for it will-sooner or later, there will be serious problems in the emerging nations because the people who brought Nigeria down will be fairly distributed among the nations. The people who today write a N1 m contract as N100 million will be everywhere. The people who cannot think about the future, the good of all and the prosperity of the unborn generations will be in all the nations. There will be am ugly strife between the good people and the useless, selfish people like these sportsmen who only think of their own well-beings.
Nigeria is today, even as she was several decades ago, at a crossroad. The difference today is the determination and the decisiveness of the freedom fighters. It does not matter how long it takes, the freedom fighters will win, and Nigeria will eventually disintegrate. It will happen in due time.
My hope for the nations that will emerge from the terrorist-stricken Nigeria is that no matter the differences of the citizens, no matter who fought for freedom and who stood aside and watched, that they would allow fair reasoning to prevail. My hope for them is to think more about the future, the unborn generations, and the kind of world they would want to leave behind.
Not many people understand the essence of life. It is to live and let’s live. It is to pursue happiness on a fair plane. It is to transfer wisdom and knowledge of what you are good at, so that in the end, you leave the world a better place than you met it.
With all the focus on the wrong values. With all the focus on money and the lack of appreciation of the transiency of life (no matter how good or bad), humanity lost the focus.
I wish I could tell you more but let’s save the inspiration for other notes.
May you find happiness and may your life spread joy to others.
Watch this 2015 video posted by Dr. Kemi Olunloyo.
She highlighted how Buhari previously destroyed Nigeria before 2015. Then gave a short analysis of how Buhari killed and murdered Nigerians.
She even mentioned how Buhari previously ruined the economy and warned Yoruba not to vote for the murderer called Buhari.
So, how come Buhari who should be in jail for so many crimes became the ruler of Nigeria?
Well, persobally I am still not convinced Buhari won the election. Before the election day, all the odds were already against Jonathan as Obasanjo and Tinubu gave Buhari the keys to Aso rock.
Is it too late to stop Buhari? I don’t think so. Buhari should be stopped by all means possible.
The truth has always been there and the reality has catched up with us.
We put a murderer in Aso rock and we are shocked by the rise of Boko Haram and terrorists herdsmen. We are the architects of our misfortune.
(Unedited post)
(May be continued…)
The killings at the tollgate in 2020 cannot be swept under the carpet.
Buhari and Buratai supervised the mass murder of young people in Lagos.
Then Buhari, in an attempt to cover up the crimes, suggested that the murderers be given ambassadorial posts. The purpose is clear. It is to give the murderers immunity and to buy time so Nigerians can forget. Nigerians are quick to move from one thing to another in the most dramatic, unexpected manner.
I have written on this blog since 2006. I hope those in search of the truth will find it useful now and in the future.
There will always be those who stand on the same side as the murderers and oppressors. We cannot change that. Humans are evil and tracherous. We do things for money, fame and selfish interests.
What I cannot live with is how majority of people called Nigerians have allowed a few morons to twist the narratives time and time again.
Daily as well, I see a lot of neutral tweets by Nigerians as if all that is going on does not bother them. I know it is hard to take a stand for fear of losing some key friendship and even your job.
Which is why I cannot trade my placement in Sweden for all the billions in Nigeria. As far as public accountability is concerned, you have to kill me first to make me turn away.
That thing called Buhari in aso rock, and all those pulling the strings for APC should be rounded up and dragged to justice.
For everyday that passes, for all the atrocities committed by Buhari and this useless APC govt, Nigeria nears her final precipice. She will tilt over in an uncontrollable design. At that point, it wouldn’t matter if you spoke the truth, if you lied or if you stayed neutral. At that point, we will all be fighting for our survival.
Is that not the instinct we could have carved a common ground for? Now we will carve an uncommon ground for it.
Like I always say, my swedish prayer: when the time comes, May the wind be your way!
We can’t have a revolution because those who stole our childhood are the same people we still entrust with our future
There Won’t Be A Nigerian Revolution
By Adeola Aderounmu
A Nigerian Solomom Akuma is languishing in prison. By profession he is a pharmacist. He has been in prison for a year because he criticized the (useless) Nigerian president Mr. Buhari.
But for Omoyele Sowore, I am not sure I would ever have known any Nigerian by that name, much more that he is suffering in a dirty, stinking Abuja prison.
You see, as far 99.9% of Nigerians are concerned, Solomon can rot or even die in prison. They don’t care. Nigerians are reckless when they should act most civil. As for Endsars, I still do not know how they pulled that off. But that it died without resulting to a revolution takes us back to the same point: there won’t be a Nigerian revolution.
Why?
Nigeria has no meaning. It was the idea of a certain British guy to coin and lump totally different people together and he called them Nigerians in Nigger Area.
Let’s stay on Solomon. By 7 a. m tomorrow morning, Solomon can be a free man if 50% of Abuja residents took the day off to close down the city. But they won’t do so. There won’t be a Nigerian revolution. Nigerians do not care about Solomon. For all they care, he may be one yeye Igbo or Biafran.
Just imagine that we could buy him his freedom by closing down the city and that we are not even thinking about it.
Nigeria is not going to get better and it will not be well with Nigeria. Do you know why? Because there is not going to be a Nigerian revolution. That is why!
But let me tell you what may happen in the next few months or years. Actually, nothing is going to change on the political platform. The Igbos would be deceived. They won’t get the 2023 presidency (and believe me I look forward to the disintegration of Nigeria than this nonsense that is sustained by the lack of revolution).
The Yoruba too would be shocked by the events that are about to unfold. It is annoying because we have been along this same useless road many times. In Nigerian politics, the outcome is actually irrelevant, it is just a power tussle between the same set of criminal organisations called political parties. The outcome is not relevant because the politicians and the elites are getting richer and stealing the commonwealth as usual while the people have been hypnotized by empty promises and stupid hope in religion.
There won’t be a Nigerian revolution because at every crossroads, the division between the people become apparent-that we are not the same people- and we don’t not want the same thing. No Nigerian politician ever dreamt of freedom for the people. No Nigerian politician shared the ideology of freedom, pursuit of happiness and prosperity on a level playing fields for the people called Nigerians.
There would not be a Nigerian revolution because the people called Nigerians are in a permanent state of Stockholm syndrome, praying for the politicians and washing their feet. There would not be a revolution because hopes are in some invisible gods rather that the good works of men that have transformed some countries to paradise on earth.
If there was going to be a Nigerian revolution, there would have been one many years ago and UAE, China and Singapore would be behind Nigeria in the development race. We can’t have a revolution because we have no love for liberty and we have no empathy that all men are born equal and deserve to live better than caged animals.
We can’t have a revolution because those who stole our childhood are those we still entrust with our future. There is not going to be a Nigerian revolution because we lost touch with human development and we love to glory in our oppression of those who lack. We don’t know the meaning/essence of live. We are vain.
If week 3 of 2021 ends and Solomon is still in prison, we will never have a Nigerian revolution. The day the rest of us go to prison as activists may be the end of our stories, it may be the end of our lives. We have chosen to live behind time, we chose to live in another civilization.
Let me just add that I don’t think Solomon is in prison because one Mr. Buhari wanted it so. I think it is the abuse of power by those who know that Buhari is like a virus (inactive on its own and only active in an induced situation).
Buhari himself is not conscious of his immediate environment. He goes about like a zombie. Jide Sanwoolu travels Lagos-Abuja-Lagos severally to brief him about what is going on in Lagos. If Buhari is normal or aware of his environment, he would listen to the news, watch tv and make phone calls to Jide Sanwoolu.
There are other pieces of evidence to show that Buhari is non-existent. Not least the avalanche of press releases and tweets daily that are attributed to him. No normal human being can be that active. It does not make sense. No normal human being mourns the death of every dick tom and harry on twitter. This unconscious Buhari does. I could go on, but we are not going to have a Nigerian revolution because we are not a country. We are a bunch of disorganized colonies and states. Presently we have no identities.
We are disorganized and disorientated as a (fraudulent) country. As nations within Nigeria, we are divided, lost, full of hate and lacking the ability to be constructive. We don’t add meaning to life. We are selfish and destructive.
In every way, we lack the abilities to revolutionize!
We are lost.
As long as Solomon remains in prisons, as long as other people have their rights taken from them, as long as people are still missing because SARS took them away or even killed them, we are ALL useless as a people. Very useless!! How come we cannot fight for our rights together?
If you want to antagonize my generalization that we are useless, move your ass, organize a protest, start a movement and get Solomon home!
If we cannot have a revolution, we can at least keep our humanity and resist the definition of our existence as reckless and useless by some nonentities in Abuja and all government houses across the failed country Nigeria.
If there was going to be a Nigerian revolution, there would have been one many years ago and UAE, China and Singapore would be behind Nigeria in the development race.
