Why Always Agbado? What About Educational And Infrastructural Empowerment?

Mrs. Tinubu’s suggestions that she’s empowering citizens to sell agbado, kuli kuli, akara and groundnuts showed complete lack of intelligence. She was also excited to have used funds as high as 2 billion naira to support TB without telling us where the money was taken from. We don’t know who collected the money and how it was spent.

I am shocked at the level of what the people who are hopeful about Nigeria are dealing with.

There are people around the world making decent living through the use/application of technology. Super users and non-Super users alike now provide services and tap loads of resources through Artificial intelligent resources. Some resources are free and limited, yet very useful. Graphics, texts and animations have been taken to a whole new level. Both old and young people make major or passive earnings depending on their coverage, scope or involvement in the use of AI. There are endless possibilities with the use of AI.

The public educational system in Nigeria would be a way to re-empower young people in various ways of life. Today, there is no free education in Nigeria. I don’t have the records but I can make a guess that the level of literacy would have declined. Personally, my heart was broken into pieces when I learnt that the least amount a child can pay for registration in a public school in Nigeria is N70k. There are many things in this failed country called Nigeria that break me daily. I don’t want to recount all of Nigeria’s problems in this essay. It is impossible to list here the problems that I have lifted for more than 25 years.

A sensible person would not mention empowering street hawkers as a measure of renewed hope for election campaigns. You can rather boast of world class supermarkets where shops are rented and goods and services are provided over covered roofs and with constant electricity. Mrs. Tinubu should be boasting about the empowerment that can cover all Nigerians through the availability of constant electricity.

Mrs. Tinubu could have suggested her fight for the education of the young people. She could mention as renewed hope the plans of the government to make public schools functional again. She can tell us of her lobby to ensure that school fees or registration fees are completely removed from basic primary education all over Nigeria.

Before I forget, she is the first lady. She is not saddled with the function of making Nigeria work. So, she could have remained silent. There is a president in Nigeria. There are ministers, there are governors, legislators and so many duplicated offices and positions that do nothing good in Nigeria. They can steal, loot and walk free with crimes and atrocities.

Mrs. Tinubu probably got her inspiration from politicians empowering this constituencies with torchlights, wheelbarrows, tyres, cooking pots and stoves. She can boast of spending 2 billion naira just like that with the same impunity as the regular criminal politicians. She has no sense or fear that investigations could be carried out to ascertain her claims and where the 2 billion came from/went to. She was not more intelligent than how she spoke and her poor reasoning. She represented her family in the most shameful way. She reflected a failed country gathering round useless elections every 4 years rather than gathering round a table to navigate the way forward on how to exit a doldrum. There are no plans yet in 2026 not to hand over Nigeria to terrorists.

In 2027 Nigerians will gather to choose between all the evil forces and political prostitutes who have raped this country as former governors in state houses and former custodians of power in Aso rock. Who will tell them that for as long as the system of government is wrong, the choice of the evil that preside would not matter?

For you cannot continue with something that does not work and expect a positive outcome unless you are totally insane.  As long as Nigeria runs on a unitary system of government, a Mrs. Jonathan would be replaced by a Mrs. Tinubu and a Mr. Buhari would be replaced by a Mr. Tinubu. If you like, bring a Mr. Obi or a Mr. Atiku, you will have my essay as a reference (as it has been since 2011 or 2006) that elections are not the solutions to Nigeria’s problems.

The system must change, and the change must be done at a round table. For example, Abuja politics need to end and the regions must be returned to the economic power they had before the 2 useless coups of 1966. Only a pre-civil war status can offer hope for what is left of Nigeria.

 It would take a few decades to reap the dividends of a change system. For that reason, the useless elites and politicians in Nigeria have resorted to promising quick gains through elections. As a keen observer of Nigerian elections since 1979 (yes 1979) I can tell you for free that the template had never worked. It will never work.

Mrs. Tinubu was appalling. But she reflects a bigger problem that must be fixed, not by another stupid and useless election, but by the resolutions of men and women who can boldly sit around a table and navigate the future for their children, children’s children and the unborn generation.

We Must Secure Yorubaland

We Must Secure Yorubaland

By Adeola Aderounmu

In March 2020 a bomb blast ravaged Bethlehem Girl’s College in Abule-Ado Lagos State. In my response, I urge the Lagos State government, the governors in western Nigeria and the Ooni of Ife to secure Yorubaland.

Before that terror last that destroyed the entire Catholic girls’ school, the environment and several lives, Lagos and western Nigeria was an easy target for uncountable and undocumented terror attacks in forms of truck drivers running into a crowd or the trailers exploding.

Lagos and Yorubaland in general have been a testing ground for terror attacks.

Now, in 2026, terrorism is full blown in Yorubaland.

In several articles and essays over the past decade, I have personally warned that this day would come. I have been screaming that Yorubaland is not secure but I also imagine that we don’t read nowadays and I am also aware that my audiences may not be as far reaching as I have thought.

I continue to hope that since my articles are online, they would be available to a certain generation that would understand the enormity of the problems facing Yorubaland. My generation has joined the previous generations to be classified as the wasted generation. It seems that the generation of Yorubaland custodians between 30 and 40 years today are also totally wasted away!

I have used Festac Town as a case study several times. If the Fulani or the non-Nigerian population in Festac Town decide to eliminate all Yoruba (and other occupants of Festac today June 6, 2026) I think that to a large extent, they would succeed.

As far back as 2016 when I lived for a few days at a hotel on 3rd Avenue in Festac Town, I was shocked by the way Festac have been occupied by Fulani-Hause and probably non-Nigerians.

In 2025 when I walked down 24 Road, 72 Road on Festac Town, I saw another explosive population of Fulani-Hausa and probably non-Nigerians selling everything in the world along the streets of 72 Road.

The consequences of the invasion of Yorubaland under several disguises including the generational sale of cattle, goods and services are that terror cells have multiplied across Yorubaland.

Again, writing about these things means that I am repeating things that I have openly warned about in the past. I wrote that when the time to unleash terror on Yorubaland begins, Yorubaland land may be conquered by the invaders. Sometimes, some things appear impossible or unimaginable, until they happen!

But when you wake up in your house or apartment and you are not sure if you would be taken away by the first person you meet outside your door, then the conquest has gone beyond physical and has become psychosocial. You live in fear. Your lives are in danger.

Your children are taken, their bodies dismembered. Your teachers are kidnapped and killed. Your chiefs and Obas are ridiculed. Your cousins are kidnapped. Your neighbours disappeared without a trace and you wonder when it is your turn. Your enemies got your exactly where they want you.

They occupy your forests; they bring their animals to eat your crops.

In some parts of Nigeria, villages are deserted and the owners of the land have vanished.

Then you shout, one Nigeria! You are not just a fool; you are a lost fool.

How is Nigeria one when you cannot live freely everywhere in the country? How is it one country when the Fulani terrorist is looking for your heads to cut away?

I am not just calling out to the irresponsible “leaders” in Yorubaland, I am calling on you as a Yoruba to secure your land, your environment, your culture, your heritage, your institutions and everything traditional that your ancestors bequeathed to you.

It is your turn as your read this to act, protect the ancestral land and bequeath it in peace to your children and your children’s children.

Your may think you are not at war, but you are in essence.

The war stops when you take control of your land affirmatively, you control your resources, you control your forests, you control your cities. You control your schools, your education, your health institutions. The war stops when you modernize your transport and do away with Okada menace. It stops when you plant your crops, rear your animals, control your good production and engage only in foreign trade from a distance from the enemies that have invade your land and brought you fear.

I can tell you several things your will enjoy when you take control of your life, not least electricity supply, good roads and a more peaceful life in pursuit of happiness in a free and liberated Yoruba country.

Yoruba, Omo Oduduwa, secure your land and let the invaders be gone in no time.

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..!

The Terror Attack In Örebro, Sweden

The Terror Attack In Örebro

Örebro Castle

adeola.blog

By Adeola Aderounmu

On Tuesday 4th of February 2025, a Swedish terrorist named Richard Andersson killed 10 people in the city of Örebro in Sweden. The terrorist attack was the worst in the history of Sweden.

The act of terror was carried out at Risberga school in Örebro. The school is where (foreign) students or relatively new settlers in Sweden would go in order to learn Swedish language in their process of integrating into the Swedish society. In Sweden you need a good knowledge the language to make a head way in many aspects of the Swedish life.

A lot of concerned citizens have expressed anger, frustrations, and disappointment in how the Swedish government, the Swedish police and the Swedish media have reported the terrorist attack.

For instance, the terror attack, as at the time of writing the blog, has not been called a terror attack. The police, the government and the media have reported it as a mass shooting. They have refused to call Richard a terrorist. Rather they have painted another picture of him (you will not read that on my blog, sorry). I don’t glorify terrorist.

In reporting the number of victims, the Swedish government, the police, and the Swedish media have reported that 11 people died in the terror attack, a number that included the terrorist. The correct report should have read that 10 people have been killed by a terrorist who also died in the line of his terrorist action. The Swedish police and Swedish media and the Swedish government have shown great disrespect to the victims (and the families of the victims) of the terror attack in Örebro. I have been blogging for about 2 decades, the handling of the terror attack in Örebro is the worst form of miscommunication and dishonesty I have encountered by any government, media, or police reporting terror attacks.

The police and the government of Sweden have failed the general population. They have failed the entire world. By not declaring the event of 4 of February an act of terrorism, the government failed to live up to its responsibility to protect lives and property.

The police, the government and the media heaped a lot of dishonour on the dead when they said that the motive was not known (even till today the 9th of February 2025) and that the killing may not have an ideological linkage.

It is common sense that a terror attack that is carried out at a school has an ideology linked to education. But I have read many times that common sense is actually not common. The motive was as clear as daylight. The terrorist targeted a school that immigrants would attend to learn or improve their Swedish language skills. His motive was to decimate the immigrant population in Örebro. He killed 10 people.

 The terrorist act is a tragedy on one part. The actions, speeches and the reactions of the Swedish government, the Swedish police and the Swedish media constitute a greater collective tragedy. I don’t think there is any immigrant in Sweden today who trust the Swedish government, the Swedish Police and the Swedish media after the Örebro terror attack.

An opportunity, albeit an unfortunate one, to galvanize the country has been misused. It has been wasted. It has been used to divide the country more than ever. What a wasted opportunity! Lives were unnecessarily wasted by a terrorist and the government and the police made a mess of the sad situation. The media was caged in!

The people who have lost their loved ones, sisters, brothers, sons, wives, girlfriends, husbands, daughters, uncles, aunts and friends would have expected a more compassionate act of truth and actual presentations of events rather than all the cover-ups that the government and the Swedish media are displaying.  

My sincere condolences to all the people who are affected by this act of terror. I have you in my thoughts now. I will have you in my thoughts every time I stop at Örebro, every time I visit Örebro and every time I drive by. You will be in my thoughts every time Örebro appears in my mind and in my conversations.

May the soul of the ten people killed by the terrorist rest in peace.

Plateau Genocide And The Hungry Generation: Out Of Civilisation’s Framework

/ Adeola / Leave a comment

By Adeola Aderounmu

Genocide remains an unpunishable crime in Nigeria. Sometimes, acts of genocides are perpetrated by the government.

When more than 200 people are massacred in one night, at a swoop, in 2023, such act is out of civilization’s framework. But it happened during the 2023 Christmas celebration in Plateau State, Nigeria. Several communities were sacked as terrorists (most likely from Northern Nigeria) went on the rampage.

If you ask the crazy Nigerian government, they will tell you it is herdsmen and farmers’ conflict. But there are records of villages that have been completely taken over by these terrorists across the length and breadth of Northern Nigeria and some parts of the Nigerian Middle Belts. Taking over indigenous people’s farmland or their resources through genocide and even taking over their communities entirely is no longer something that any Nigerian government cares about. Genocide remains an unpunishable crime in Nigeria. Sometimes, it is done by the government.

In Nigeria, deaths and blood spills do not lead to outrage. They are commonstances. Sometimes, as superstitiously as it may sounds, it seems that government thrives on bloodshed and woes of the citizens of Nigeria.

At the time the genocide was in progress, more than 7 hours, no Nigerian security forces intervened. It sometimes sound like the government sponsored the killings, so they do not interfere. Is there any other way to analye terrorism that is perpetrated for more than 7 hours without interventions of security agencies? I am willing to learn how. It was also at that period that Bola Tinubu arrived in Lagos. He went on Christmas holiday to a place where everybody knew his name. Sadly too, nobody was calling his name. Rather, the people that lined the streets when he arrived were all crying and wailing: We Are Hungry..!

The genocide in Plateau and the general hunger in the land cannot change a thing without accompanying rage or rages. If there is no rage, there cannot be a change. Nigerians completely lost it when they think swapping APC for PDP or PDP for APC is change. It is very ridiculous because when you are looking from a distance, you will see that APC is PDP and PDP is APC. You will also see that there is no end, yet, to the thousands of anomalies about Nigeria.

My constant prediction is that a few people in Nigeria will prosper annually because the system will smile on them directly or through some strokes of luck and happenstance. These few people will create fuzzes that will forever kindle the hopes of the poorest people making them lame and vulnerable to a lifetime of penury and extreme poverty. These majority will continue to live and die without ever experiencing the meaning and value of life. Nigeria was built that way.

In a country that was built on false foundation, one group of senseless terrorists from a shithole somewhere – even at this time of global human civilization – will still think that they have to commit genocide on another group because they think they are a superior race than the others and should rule the province. In a country that was built on false foundation, people will line the country and shout “we are hungry” without doing anything about it.

Majority will continue to live and die without ever experiencing the meaning of life, and the value of it. Nigeria was built that way.

Nigeria has been like this since time immemorial, and since time immemorial people have been hoping that change would come, that common sense would prevail and that the good of the land(s) will be for the good of all. But alas! The good of the land is never meant for circulation. It can be distributed to the elites, their families, their accomplices and a few lucky souls.

What has happened since hope (especially in religious rites) took over common sense and human dignity, is that Nigeria’s population has exploded. More and more people have been born into a lifetime of poverty and estranged attitude to the true meaning of life. The pockets of achievements by Nigerians especially in medicine, entertainment and sports are not inspired by government or institutions. They are mostly fueled by the resilience of people who wanted to survive by all means. There was never a level playing ground for talent discovery and institutions-backed national development.

All the things that could make a nation great if the inhabitants share the same culture, spoke the same language and have the same insights into the meaning of life, are completely absent in Nigeria. That is why terrorists would attack Plateau. They do not see the inhabitants of Plateau as humans. They see them as lower animals that must be wiped away from the surface of the earth. Invariably, the message is clear, the terrorists of Northern Nigeria have no single reason to belong to the same country as the people of plateau. If you don’t get that, there is no way I can make it clearer to you. You can therefore expect more massacres. Nigeria is built that way.

In a nation, a land or a country where everybody speaks the same language, it would never happen that some people would cry out of hunger and not do anything about it. If the hunger that Lagosians faced is in the hands of Tinubu are in a situation where Tinubu is president of Yorubaland only, I cannot see how Tinubu can survive the rage that would follow. But the hunger is spread across a group of unconnected nationalities that thrive on confusion, a group of unrelated nationalities that blossom in tribalism and extreme nepotism. So, it is not hard to predict that Nigerians, as it is, we continue to be among the poorest people in the world because they have not taken steps to end Nigeria and build strong independent nations like the Oduduwa/Yoruba Nation, Biafra, Arewa, Middle-Belt kingdom and Southern Niger Delta.

In the absence of the emergence of these nations-that would not only compete regionally for progress and development, but also internationally for fame, prosperity and superpower, the people of Lagos can continue to carry placards for the remaining over 150 million or more living from hand to mouth, unsure of the next meal. For the people of Plateau, the best solution is self-defense. Call on your politicians, let them buy arms and ammunitions, so you can protect your land and resources that keep enticing the enemy. Protect your women, children and the elderly. No matter how much you cry, the terrorists are coming back, and they will not stop until you are completely decimated. This is the history of Nigeria, a bloody British mistake and colonial invention, made solely for the suppression of the progress of the African race.

If we don’t stop Nigeria, we cannot stop the chant “We Are Hungry”. If we don’t stop Nigeria, the only way to survive terrorism and forceful take-over of our local resources is to “fight back”.

In a country that was built on false foundations, people will line the country and shout ” We are Hungry” without doing anything about it.
