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.

Tinubu’s Jaguda Government (Part 4)

Tinubu’s Jaguda Government (Part 4)

By Adeola Aderounmu (Sweden)

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is holding on to the culture of criminality in Nigerian politics. He came to power in 2023 through elections that are (as usual) questionable. There is at the moment (July 2026) a very well-known scandal that should have led to one or two consequences. If Nigerian politics has any iota of credibility, Bola Ahmed Tinubu should have been eased out of power and democratic procedures would have ensured to find a suitable replacement. Shettima is not a suitable replacement even if he is the vice-president. He cannot deny his involvement in the rise of terrorism in Nigeria.

The other possible consequences would have been the outright sacking of Femi Gbajabiamila who is the chief of staff to Tinubu. To sacrifice Gbajabiamila would have taken a lot of pressure off Bola Ahmed Tinubu and even his worst enemies would see such a decision as a big positive point in the regime.

But as usual, as it is with Nigeria’s useless politics, Tinubu is pretending as if nothing happened that he or the useless APC government cannot contain. This has been the common practice in Nigerian politics and the reason for the first line of this essay; that Tinubu is keeping the culture of making sure that Nigerian politicians remain the criminals that they are and that there is no sign of change in sight.

There are allegations that Femi Gbajabiamila took bribes from at least one person who now heads a government establishment. The person, one Prince Adeyemi alleged that he paid N600 million to Gbajabiamila so he could be appointed into position of head of parastatal. He stated that he made an initial payment of N400 million and will balance Femi Gbajabiamila N200 million.

Mr. Adeyemi is the Director General of Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC). PFIPC is under the Presidential Economic Advisory Council, which means it was established directly under the Tinubu-led presidency. The PFIPC parastatal was allocated N1,6 billion in the Nigerian 2026 budget and president Tinubu signed the budget.

For some reasons, things fell apart between Adeyemi and Gbajabiamila and Adeyemi spilled the beans. Suddenly Tinubu and his niche of crooks declared that Adeyemi is a fraudster who has been parading himself as the DG of PFIPC, and that in principle, the PFIPC does not exist.

I do not want to over flog the issues here and it will not be my role to pre-empt what should actually become a legal tussle.

But how come Tinubu and the Nigerian lawmakers signed N1,6 billion to an agency that does not exist? The agency, PFIPC, has offices in the Federal Secretariat and runs a bank account with the Central Bank of Nigeria. The agency has many employees and they are paid by the Nigerian government. Is the Tinubu government full of criminals everywhere, even to the Central Bank?

Tinubu cannot wash his hands away from this scam or scandal. How many more agencies exist just to steal money? How many more Director Generals paid N600 million to influential people in Tinubu’s government? We know that this has been the procedure in Nigerian politics but this is one of the few moments a payee (in this case Mr. Adeyemi) is stating how much he paid and to whom. He allegedly paid Mr. Gbajabiamila, the chief of staff to Tinubu.

 Let me restate my take on this matter. Femi Gbajabiamila should be sacked or Mr. Tinubu should resign. One of the two would avail much even if Nigeria is not used to such adjustments based on criminal activities in government.  

It does not matter that the 2027 elections are in focus. The elections are useless already anyway and completely unnceccasry. If a president is openly seen to be a criminal or if his chief of staff is openly known to be a criminal, one or both of them must leave the government. This is the meaning of sanity.

What is playing out in Tinubu’s jaguda government, like all the previous governments before him, is unacceptable and heads need to roll.

In all of this, I must not fail to mention that I don’t believe in Nigeria. I cannot hide my joy for Cape Verde at the 2026 World cup. Cape Verde has a population of roughly 500 thousand people and made it to the World Cup, showing great courage, hope and unyielding loyalty to country. Nigeria has over 200 million people who are confused about their identities and the way forward for their lives. Nigeria is a blend of confused nationalities who will never reach their potentials in the dangerous mix concoted by the British gangsters over 100 years ago. This is a narrative I intend to go to the grave with even if Yoruba Country never emerges again in my life time.

Threfore, even if I still write about these ills in Nigeria, like this useless Jaguda government under Tinubu, the focus is not to drag the Yoruba country into such criminalities without consequences as we have seen with Nigerian gangster rulers over the decades.

Unless the countries entrapped in Nigeria are free and allowed to thrive, we will be back with these same narratives 100 years from now. That is the genetics of Nigeria.

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

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.
