Former Dictators and Rulers Seeking Treatment Abroad in 2025. How Useless Are These Rulers?

By Adeola Aderounmu, Sweden

Buhari & Tinubu

In several essays spanning several years, I have written several blog entries here on adeola.blog on the need to have at the minimum 36 international standard hospitals in Nigeria. That would mean 36 public health institutions at the least. If the number becomes 72, even better.

Why is this type of project necessary? It is necessary to provide basic, free (or affordable) health care for the citizens “Nigerians”. Nigerians in quote because I look forward to the emancipation of the entrapped nations/countries in “Nigeria”.

There are so many things the government MUST do for the people and workers in any country in the world.  

The government must ensure that the people have access to good, free or affordable health care.

The government must see that the people have affordable housing.

The government must ensure that the people have good roads with standard transportation system (road, water and air).

Abdulsalam Abubakar

The government must provide public schools and control private schools (to some extent). The quality of education in the public schools must match that in the private schools and the curriculum must be the same. It should not be an obvious advantage to attend private schools. We know what the situation is in Nigeria today. Public schools are on the decline and attendance in public schools are not the norm.

I’m going to focus on the health aspect in this essay because it is trending now that 2 useless former rulers of Nigeria, One Buhari and a certain Abdulsalam are receiving treatment in the United Kingdom.

Why did I use the word useless?

It is because for several decades, we have been telling them to build at least 36 international standard hospitals in Nigeria. If they make it 72 standard, public, free/affordable hospitals, it is not a favour. It is an obligation that government build hospitals for the citizens. And any politician, active or passive is also a citizen of “Nigeria” as it is. Why can they not build hospitals where they, their families and the rest of us can be treated for our ailments? Why?

Buhari and Abdulsalami should today be enjoying the facilities that they ought to have put in place. This obligation also fell on Obasanjo, Babangida, Jonathan, Yar Adua and today it is Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But Tinubu himself is an out-patient in a number of hospitals outside Nigeria. Are these people mad?

It is now Tinubu’s job to ensure without delay that at least 36 world standard hospitals germinate across the entire country. This is do-able by directing all state governors (including Wike in Abuja) and giving them reasonable deadline. The money is there. They should stop looting and they should reduce the exaggerated salaries of politicians from millions of dollars monthly to thousands of naira like the citizens they are: serving and not lording or looting.

These topics (health, infrastructure) and salary of the criminal politicians have become recurring issues on my blog.

When mentioned on TV or radio, the people forget and move on, which is why I regard my blog as one of the few consciences of the nation. These prints are constant, they remind us of what have been and all that is not done to set the people free.

On my blog, the records will remain to show how incompetent, callous, wicked and senseless Nigerian rulers have been over the years, and to this day the 13th of July 2025.

Tinubu has 2 more years to reverse this trend. All the governors across all the states in “Nigeria” have 2 years to reverse this trend. It would be a wonderful news to know that after 2027, Nigerian politicians can be sick and treated by the best doctors in the world. The best doctors in the world are Nigerian doctors that are in several dilapidated hospitals in Nigeria and also in the best hospitals all over the world.

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.

The Lucky Bastards (Part 2)

The Lucky Bastards (Part 2)

Only a lucky bastard can decide to organise a Nigerian seminar in London knowing that there are no consequences for being a lucky bastard

In 2016, I wrote an article about The Lucky Bastards. It means that for a very long time Nigeria is ruled by very bad people who remain lucky to be in power because the people they ruled over do not really know how to use rage and other means at their disposal to change the order of things. I do not in any way imply a senseless military coup because it is the same lucky bastards that are in the military and civilian rulership in Nigeria. It is even 2 senseless military coups in Nigeria in 1966 that disrupted the development of Nigeria as a powerhouse in the world.

In 2024, as you read this piece, Nigeria is still under the rulership of some Lucky Bastards. These bastards are scattered all over the country and they are the menace behind the spread of poverty, underdevelopment, violence, kidnapping, and other vices that characterized the society. The greatest crime of these lucky bastards is however the sustenance of the criminal unitary system of government. It is the system that will continue to favor their misdemeanors and their insatiable urge for stealing/looting.

There is no amount or level of scandal that can shake the existence of the lucky bastards unless the people decide to do something about the useless system of government that sustains the scandals and corruption now under the supervision of Tinubu’s jaguda government. It is not even enough for the criminals ruling Nigeria that they were selected to rule in a stupid system of government, the audacity to commit crime daily and rub it in the faces of the people is beyond human comprehension.

The 2024 budget just like all the budgets that have been made in all the previous governments has allegedly been padded. This means that the already inflated allocations are re-inflated, and you hear of criminal senators (your dear brothers and sisters) walking away with 500 million naira for making the stealing x stealing possible. But nothing will happen because this is the history of Nigeria’s senseless unitary system (used by the military since 1966 and then sustained by the civilians).

Everyday, the senseless unitary system sustains a criminally inclined presidency, a criminally inclined senate, a criminally inclined house of representatives, criminal governors, criminal ministers, criminal commissioners, criminal civil servants, criminal private and public workers, decayed infrastructure, uneven development, permanent rural-urban migration, permanent japa, collapsed health and collapsed education, and so on and so forth. Nigeria remains one of the steadfast poverty capitals of the world because the lucky bastards are living a very good life, an ostentatious one and show no action towards dismantling the system of government that turned one of the most promising countries in the world to a ground for breeding poverty specialists, cultists, terrorists, kidnappers and a people almost totally disconnected from the meaning and essence of life.

As we write and read, a lucky bastard is relocating his children, family and friends to the developed country in the world. He or she has looted 100 to 200 million in the last few days, flaunt his or her stolen wealth knowing you can do nothing about it.

I heard one idiot called the accountant general of the mentally deranged country even organized a training/seminar/workshop using London as the location. Only a lucky bastard can move a Nigerian conference from Nigeria to London knowing there are no consequences for being a lucky bastard. He will not return to a crowd of stone throwing angry taxpayers. Imagine if Nigerians in London stone the MF and on return the Nigerians at home lock him out of his office. Just imagine!

But the lucky bastards have so demobilized and disorientate the people so that that there are no consequences for being stupid. You can even be mad and be dictating to the normal people if you are a mad lucky bastard.  

I do not see a (bright) future in a useless unitary system of government under the rulership of lucky bastards. Not in 2016, not today, not in eternity.

There is a need to end the useless system of government that select and promote criminals. It is important that that nations entrapped in Nigeria be set free and allowed to pursue own happiness, way of life and system of government.

I WEAR THE CAMOUFLAGE FOR YOU

I Wear This Camouflage For You

By Adeola Aderounmu

Many of us on the social media may have seen the images of a civilian who was dehumanised by a Nigerian terrorist soldier because he was putting on some designer camouflage outfit.

Now, that image was horrific but not the first time and definitely not the last time you will see a terrorist soldier of the Nigerian army killing civilians, or maiming them or causing them paralyses because they wear camouflage outfit.

This act of crime against humanity dates back years in the geographical area called Nigeria. The country is presently dominated by what could be liken to a form of terrorist government. But I won’t go into the details of terrorism in this essay.

Nevertheless, in 2015 when the present APC government promised changes/change, a lot of people thought that things would be done differently. We looked forward to civility and civilisation. Well, the government is the worst I have seen in the world since I was born. If there was a worse government than this, I would not know.

I continue to express my dismay to the person of Yemi Osinbajo. I still cannot believe that he is the vice president in a regime that commits genocide, unabated terrorism, massacre of civilians and now this!

I wear this camouflage for you ALL THE PEOPLE ENTRAPPED IN THE SPACE CALLED NIGERIA who cannot do the same as I have done in these images.

I wear this camouflage for you, ALL THAT ARE OPPRESSED AND UNSURE OF THE NEXT MEAL/MOVE.

I wear this camouflage for you YORUBA, YORUBA OMO ODUDUWA.

I wear this camouflage for you my brothers in the EAST, May your freedom come just as I hope that my freedom comes to.

To all those who have lost hope but still like to believe that there is a slight glimpse of a better day ahead, I wear this camouflage for you.

May the end of the oppressors and the terrorists come in the most unexpected fashion.

May the glory of the West shine and may the sun rise and shine from the East.

I wear this for you. I feel your pain. I bear your pain and I won’t be silent until your freedom come.

I wear my camouflage for you.

Buhari, A Long standing war criminal!

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!
