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!
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).
Adeola Aderounmu
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.
This type of wonderful speech should stop please. Buhari is not going to stop his terror organisation. He is the leader and sponsor of all the terrorist groups and you want him to give executive order to stop them.
If Journalism in Nigeria is fair to us, we should by now have a list of all the other known sponsors many of whom are in active politics.
Nigeria is a failed country.
Oduduwa and Biafra republics are ready to emerge with glory.
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
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.
Nigeria Government Orders 100 000 doses of Vaccine
Based on Channels TV SUNRISE PROGRAM featuring prof Tomori, Alero Roberts and Tunji Funsho
Indirect Reports By Adeola Aderounmu
It is not often I wake up on a Saturday morning to watch a Nigerian TV channel. I have high disappointment in the role of the Nigerian media in the persistent oppression of the masses by the criminals in various government houses across the country. Somehow, I got caught up with SUNRISE (9 jan 2021), a program on CHANNELS TV and I learnt a lot.
“An idiot is still an idiot”
“Whether you are prominent or not, if you an idiot, you are an idiot”
“They are idiots, they are not prominent”
-Professor Tomori, reacting to so called prominent Nigerians undermining the coronavirus and the vaccine in Nigeria.
For this essay I would explain what 3 prominent Nigerians discussed with the presenters via video conference. These prominent Nigerians are Professor Tomori, Alero Roberts and Tunji Funsho.
At the end of this essay their names will appear as references. The essay is a mixture of their points of views and my additions.
These are what they talked about.
The Nigerian government has ordered 100 000 doses of covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer. Professor Tomori said that would be enough for 50 000 people. So, if Nigeria is a country (?) with approximately 200 million people, that means that the 100 000 doses is probably going to be rationed to the politicians and their families. Tomori also mentioned the disadvantages of ordering vaccine from Pfizer as it requires very cold temperature of minus 70 for storage. Nigeria does not have the facility for such storage. In the words of Tomori, the Nigerian government is stupid! He wondered why the Nigerian government ordered vaccines from Pfizer. In his words, Nigeria prepared for yesterday today while the rest of the world prepared for their tomorrow yesterday.
Tunji Funsho said whilst vaccination is very important, the priority now should be how to actually curb the vaccine in the next 1 year. He spoke about the need for dedication on the part of the population. “We need basic protocol to curb the vaccine”. He meant that the people must observe practices that would bring a halt to the spread of the disease.
“Stupidity kills and unfortunately stupid people are still going to die”
Alero Roberts reacting to people neglecting recommendations to stay at home and avoid indoor assembly.
Tunji Funsho said Nigerians should wear mask. He condemns congregations in churches or mosques. As a matter of fact, Tomori, Roberts and Funsho all were critical of the roles of churches and mosques in the continuous spread of coronavirus in Nigeria. Tomori said God is everywhere and people should sit down at home.
Tunji Funsho
Tunji Funsho mentioned safe distancing even when we wear masks. He said that that the role of the government is minimal even though the government need to do more mobilization and he also emphasized the role of the media. I (Adeola) don’t know if I agree with him on the aspect of the role of the government. I think the government need to be more transparent on her dealings and to engage the people daily. In Sweden, the prime minister is drilled almost daily on issues concerning coronavirus and the health authorities organize daily media briefing during the weekdays. So, I think a Buhari in Aso rock should move his ass and address the press daily and he should answer critical questions about the safety of Nigerian lives.
Professor Tomori dismissed as untrue or unfounded the insinuation that vaccination will reduce herd immunity in Nigeria. He said on the contrary that vaccination will increase the herd immunity.
In terms of maintaining protocols and following regulations, the three discussants were very stern with their words and warnings. Alero Roberts said:
“Stupidity kills and unfortunately stupid people are still going to die”
She said she has friends who travelled to some places and came back home with covid-19. She said some of them are now queuing up for medical attention. We should have considerations for medical workers by not exposing ourselves to the virus and by staying at home, she emphasized. Alero Roberts said “We have a choice not to be an Obituary”
“You don’t need to go to church. You don’t need to go to the mosque. Stay at home. Keep away from indoor assembly,” she further emphasized.
While reacting to the video and messages by some prominent Nigerians urging Nigerians not to take the coronavirus vaccine, Professor Tomori said prominent or not,
“An idiot is still an idiot”
“Whether you are prominent or not, if you an idiot, you are an idiot”
“They are idiot, they are not prominent”
Professor Tomori would want Nigeria to emulate countries that have done well with the management of the coronavirus, for example New Zealand, Taiwan and Vietnam. He said the task force in Nigeria must begin to act proactively and focus on the people. He said the task force was not doing enough to dispel wrong insinuations.
Reacting to Ali Baba’s ordeal, the discussants agree that such ordeal should occupy frontline/frontpage news not just for a day or two but for a very long time to impress it on the people about the seriousness of the virus.
“How does it affect me that Buhari went to Daura” asked professor Tomori. He thought such news should not be the headline at a time when information about coronavirus should be a priority.
The three discussants cannot see Nigerians in general getting the vaccines until the end of the first quarter of 2021.
