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.

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..!

A Questionable Democracy

A Questionable Democracy

Adeola Aderounmu

What kind of democracy gives the presidency to a convicted felon, a criminal?

When a convicted felon, a criminal is sworn in as president in a democracy, then democracy should be placed under the spotlight and questioned.

There is every reason to discuss about the consequences of the type of democracy that the US is displaying to the world. It’s hypocritical. Put rightly, it is a like a dictatorship mimicking democracy, or a democratic face painted on tyranny. It is a dangerous experiment.

What kind of government, what kind of democracy gives the opportunity for a criminal to become president?

What kind of law system makes a person to be above the law. Prisons across the US are filled with convicted felons, citizens who have been found guilty of one crime or the other, and dully serving time for their crimes. Fair enough. But Trump as a free man in the US, even becoming president means that not all animals are equal, and some animals are more equal that some others.

A democracy that placed a criminal in the position to make laws, to amend laws and to dispense laws, in my opinion, is not better than any form of dictatorship. I would find it hard to state the benefits of a criminal making laws in a supposedly democratic dispensation. I would find it difficult to place the value of a criminal-president in a pseudo-democracy above a tyrant in a non-democracy. I can’t come to terms with the possibility to accepting the conducts and leadership of a criminal-president in a civil society.

I started writing this article before trump was sworn in and I was already going to suggest that Trump could close all the prisons in the US and send all fellow criminals’ home. I was not shocked by the executive orders to send home more than 1 700 criminals few hours after he returned to the White House. Nothing trump had done in a few days or nothing he would do in 4 years would shock me. Tyrants don’t send shock, they radiate the characteristics of tyrants.

Nowadays I have so much to do that my articles are late and not covering the depths of my thoughts. But I must put them down anyway just to make sure that I wrote my views.

We are in the early days of Trump administration. So, the only thing to do now is to fasten our seat belts and be prepared for one of the bumpiest rides in world history. Every day will unfold with drama, with threats and with vows to reverse the world order. Denmark should probably start preparing to go to war if she must keep Greenland.

A few years ago, in my first article about trump, I wrote to the American people that MAY THE WIND BE THEIR WAY.

Now I am writing to the rest of us. Under a Trump rule as a convicted felon, may the wind be our way.

Na-Kutsa: A Village By The Kidnapper’s Den

Na-Kutsa: A Village By The Kidnapper’s Den

Adeola Aderounmu (A view From The Scandinavian)

There are many stories of families waiting for their loved ones across Nigeria. After a certain period of waiting, the expectations of seeing them alive again drop and the worst is assumed.

Just imagine boarding a cab along the road because the car park was devoid of regular taxi services and being abducted by criminals who transported you to a place close to Na-Kutsa village in Zaria. This was what happened to innocent people regularly in Zaria, Kaduna State. It would continue to happen until the den of kidnappers, or the villagers in Na-Kutsa are shaken. No village should harbor murderers and kidnappers, as a way of life.

I recommend that you read the sad experience of Baraka Abdulkarim as narrated to the Punch Newspaper. She was kidnapped by notorious cab operators and handed over to kidnappers. The first 2 weeks in December 2024 was a real trip to hell for Baraka and other passengers who thought they had boarded a regular cab. A woman who had 6 children on the trip saw two of her children shot to dead because they walked slowly through the forest.

Baraka Abdulkarim

For 2 weeks, Baraka and the others defecated on their bodies. They pissed on themselves and were rarely fed as the kidnappers waited for ransoms from the victims’ families. During the period of her captivity, Baraka, according to the Punch Newspaper underwenrt her menstrual cycle bleeding all over her body and the blood drying up on her. The mess can only be imagined! 

The person or persons who deliver ransoms are usually held back, killed or re-cycled for the next ransom. In some places in Northern Nigeria, like the Na-Kutsa village in Kaduna, kidnappers are well-known, and the profession is a way of life, a means to easy wealth.

I am writing about this, not just because it happened in Kaduna, because this could have been a sad occurrence anywhere in Nigeria. But I am writing about it because the village is known, and the den of kidnappers is also probably known. It is shocking that the notorious cab driver(s) are out there waiting for their next set of victims.

The cooperation between cab drivers and the kidnappers is a very profitable evil business. It rakes in millions daily. We know about Baraka and the others kidnaped along with her because she was released after the ransom was paid. Sadly, the person who delivered her ransom was held.

We don’t know about thousands of other missing kidnapped people. Many of them are killed like goats and left to rotten in the forests. There are many stories of families waiting for their loved ones across Nigeria. After a certain waiting period, the expectations drop, and the worst is assumed.

Kidnapping is a profitable business in some parts of Nigeria. Sometimes, it can occur at some random locations if you, your friends, of family members run out of luck. It’s like a gamble sometimes if you are safe or not.

My expectation is a police investigation into the notorious hideouts of the kidnappers which is either in or around Na-kutsa village. It is not a rocket science to find the village, to find the kidnappers and to apprehend the kidnappers. In my books of investigations, this is supposed to be a very easy raid and conquests of the criminals.

Unless the authorities are accomplices, or the intelligence gathering around the Na-Kutsa village is compromised, I don’t see any reason why the cab drivers and the kidnappers should not be apprehended this January 2025.

One worrisome aspect of the Punch report was that the kidnappers have young wives who could be as young as 12 years old. I am sorry for them. I am sorry for that part of the world where children are raped in the names of early marriages. I am sad to be associated with these types of MOFOS. There is nothing in this world that will stop me from longing for freedom.

This is my view from The Scandinavian. The rest, you know!

My Generation Also Wasted Away

Living in denial does not obscure the realities of our lives, how miserable this country Nigeria has become.

My Generation Also Wasted Away

By Adeola Aderounmu

That my generation also wasted away is one thing I have come to accept. I never saw it coming (especially when I was a little boy, full of hopes and dreams of what I thought the future would be and what I would make of it).

Now, rather than shape our days and prepare our children for the future, the people I grew up with are fighting tooth and nails to ”vote”. That people are fighting to vote rather than fighting for freedom is a big disappointment. My generation has also come to symbolize emptiness, vanity and hopelessness.

To understand my essays, you have to brush aside your personal achievements or the achievements of some of the people in my (or your) generation. You must have a holistic mind of viewing the whole picture. If you tell me about people that made it in the rat race, then we should look at 200 million others who are members of the community of the poverty capital of the world.

The useless government of Nigeria made a decision to shut down universities so that election can hold in Nigeria. In 2023? I cannot find all the words to empty my frustrations and sadness in the few lines you read here.

That kind of decision is not only stupid and senseless, but also extremely irritating. It’s the kind of decision that make you rate the mental capacities of rulers of Africa very low. To make such a decision means that there is absence of minimum-level brain activities in such adults, a sort of mental retardation, so so speak.

For everyday that passes, for every hour that we wait or waste and hope on stupid Nigerian elections, the day of glory for the unborn generation shifts forward significantly. It is a very, very sad situation.

Again, this is 2023. In several countries around the world, elections are done so effortlessly that you would not even see a paper blown off the table. Personally, I have participated in several elections that allowed me to cast my vote even before the election day. No sweat, no stress, no labour. Just a walk in and a walk out after ticking some boxes. And we are all humans? So, how do we think in Nigeria?

Nigeria will never get to that point where sensible elections will be done,even 1 million years from now because Nigeria is a country founded on British fraud. Nigeria is a business enterprise created for the pleasure of the British. Nigeria is never going to be able to organize and prosper as a country.

The country is so disorganized and stressful that it is probably the worst place in the world today to be born or live. Do you think that the electoral commission in Nigeria can send people’s voting cards or registration numbers to their homes by post? The answer is NO!

There is a price, a cost for freedom but what commonsense can accomplish is priceless. Freedom for the nations entrapped in Nigeria represent the last hope for the unborn generations.

The voting papers or cards will surely disappear in transit and those that will arrive would be distorted and manipulated. The level of criminality and dishonesty in Nigeria is way out of this planet. It is in all facets and aspects of life. I posted some copies of my latest books to Nigeria in February 2022. One year later, they have not arrived the destination to which they were sent. Thieves everywhere! The books I posted to other countries in the world arrived safely.

Do you see what is going on with money change and new currency in Nigeria? That is another story for another day. If not for madness and mental retardation of Buhari and Emefiele, I do not know what else in the world that would qualify 2 idiots who changed old currencies to new currencies that were not printed. Just imagine the suffering and how people are dropping dead or going mad by taking off their clothes in banking halls and other places like the gas stations.

Let me tell you something. There are no solutions to Nigeria’s problems for as long as the people think that elections are the solutions. We have been on this trail even before the 1959 elections, if we draw our attention to just the year before the scam called independence. Personally, as a long-standing blogger, a consistent one for that matter, I have maintained that Nigeria has no business with elections.

In the time past, I thought that if we organize the system and become normal people, that we could arrange something acceptable and sensible. But now, Nigeria does not even have a reason to remain a country, so conducting elections make no sense. In the face of the reality of the diverse nationalities that cannot have a common goal, I have come to terms that something that did not work for more than 100 years will never work. It must take madness to think that Nigeria will work.

It pierced my heart, and virtually I bleed, for I do not understand why anybody that has brain cells would want to vote in or for Nigeria. Why? I have been convinced before 2011 that Nigeria will never make it through elections. Was it about 10 years ago that I wrote ”Why God will not save Nigeria”? In many ways, I have been spot-on. I will only repeat here that 20 years from now, Nigeria will be worse than it is today if the country is still in existence.

We need clarity in our minds and in our heads (brains), that even after the disintegration of Nigeria, the various nations entrapped within it would need between 50 to 100 years to normalize, make progress and establish permanent prosperity for their citizens and unborn generations.

So even if Nigeria disintegrates today, my generation remain wasted. There is no more cure for my generations. It is over. We are just waiting to grow old and die. Living in denial does not obscure the reality of our lives. But there is hope for our children and children’s children if we get back our entrapped nations today. Then we can start the journey to rebuild, the journey to reinstate and the journey to repair what was truncated by amalgamation of people with different destinies, cultures, traditions and ideologies. Nigeria is a volatile, destructive mix.

For every day that passes, for every hour that we wait and hope on stupid Nigerian elections, the day of glory for the unborn generations shifts forward. It is a very, very sad situation.

In my opinion, this fraud called Nigeria is the only country in the world that did not make progress since the 1960s. I cannot point out one country in the world that was prosperous in the 1950s where the people are living in extreme poverty in 2023. While it got better for others, Nigeria became the dustbin of the world. The elites in Fraudgeria have made a mess of existence for the masses.

It is amazing how I have written about the same thing since 2002. I mean I have given more than 2 decades of my life writing the same thing, week in, week out. Me, I salute myself. I could have looked the other way when I left Bongo in 2002 but I saw it as a call to remind myself and the people who care to listen what we missed out and how we can rescue the future for the unborn generations.

My generation has a few years left to get something right. Imagine if we convert the years of our lives that are left to days or even weeks, perhaps it may open our eyes to the essence of life and how life should be ”live” and ”let’s live”. Life is transient. Our days are soon gone, and we have so far failed to justify our existences on this planet. It’s a huge shame to all creatures on the geographical space named Nigger-Area by the gangster colonialists.

Any generation of Yoruba that want to enjoy their existence and purpose in life on the land that their ancestors left behind for them must fight early and take back control of their lives. My generation has failed and is wasted. My parents died living on hopes that Nigeria will be better. My grandparents did the same. I refused to go to my grave thinking Nigeria will make it under a senseless unitary system.

Voting, participating or getting involved in Nigerian elections means that you have no sense of history and you are very selfish. You are actively destroying the unborn generations. Your legacy is a scam. In 4 years’ time, you will still be worse off and still be voting, senselessly!

No matter what happens, no matter how it goes, these words I write will be golden because the nations entrapped in Nigeria will remain the key to a happy life, a fulfilled existence and permanent prosperity for the slaves living in present day Nigeria, when they become free. The nations entrapped in Nigeria represent the last hope for the unborn generations.

There is a price for freedom but what commonsense can accomplish is priceless.
