My Random Reflections @ 54

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.

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.

2025: Does Lagos State Have A Governor? Is There Governance In Lagos?

Photo Story (Part 1)

By Adeola Aderounmu

Images of Festac Town show horror road network in the entire community.

This is horror!

I learnt from other people that no one cares to do anything about the absence of road network in Festac. Well, that will change soon because this is the beginning of another dimension to the story.

We will keep posting until change comes to Festac. First is the road network!

Nigeria: “Terrible Governments” Did Not Start Today.

By Adeola Aderounmu

The month of march 2025 has been a remarkable month in Bongo-Nigeria. There has been a back and forth laceration, mostly online, between those who criticized and those who support the useless and terrible government in Nigeria under the rulership of one Ahmed Tinubu, a man whose real names and identity are unclear.

I am Yoruba and if you think that I am behind any form of criminality or unclear personality, then you are probably crazy or out of your mind. I do not confuse Yorubaness with criminality or stupidity. There is no Nigerian politician that has won my heart in terms of service, decidation and selflessness.

My arguments on this blog have moved beyond sustaining Nigeria so I almost have no sympathy left for the agitations of the Nigerian. If I had a choice, I would be carrying a Yoruba Republic passport and would lay down my life for the Yoruba race, for the unborn generations so that they don´t get wasted like us, our parents and grandparents. Nigeria is not really my business nowadays.

A lot of people are complaining about Nigeria, as if things will get better. Is Nigeria the country of your dream? How old are you now and what do you know about the fraud called Nigeria? Do you know the meaning of life? Do you know what it means to live and let live?

The youthcorper girl may think she was making honest remarks about Tinubu and Nigeria but the matter is beyond all of that. Such a street-wise girl should be in her region contributing to the development of her people and her community. If she was in Lagos as an expatriate or for a business trip (in my fantasy Yoruba Republic), she would only need to do her business and go back to develop her state. She would not have any reason to call the president of a Yoruba country a terrible president. (We would do that ourselves and probably the gods would have used thunder to deal with him even before he becomes a terrible person).

Nobody can fight for and liberate Nigeria (as long as Nigeria is still one country created for the pleasure of the Queen of England). Nigeria which means nothing to the Youth corper or to any of us for that matter is not worth fighting for. It is only worth getting liberated from.

What is worth fighting for, worth living for and worth dying for, is the freedom of all the nations that are enslaved within the British colony called Nigeria. In private communications and severally on my blog (which is probably the oldest individual blog in Africa), my take is that Nigeria will NEVER get better to such an extent that an ordinary citizen would live a good life in it.

Nigeria as a “collection” of several nations is not sustainable. The amalgamation of Nigeria was done to establish Nigeria as a business enterprise, and not a country. The name Nigeria was probably coined by a mistress to one gangster called Lugard.

Little wonder history was removed from the educational curriculum in Nigeria. The politicians are oppressors who have taken the ways of the colonialists and descended it on a real hell called Nigeria.

If there was a return to the regional governments or totally independent nations of Yoruba Kingdom, Biafra/Igbo Nation, Delta South and Arewa North, by now, we would all be making progress and competing again on all fronts: science, medicine, sport, infrastructure, healthcare, music, housing and clean environments. These are the issues that our struggles ought to revolve around.

The government is terrible, we the people are more terrible. We will never speak with one voice, yet we do not agree to go our different ways and develop our communities and our regions. I see and hear how Yoruba have been defending their terrible Tinubu (a man whose real identity, origin and age are still unknown).

There is so much to say and so many points of views. It is more than time to end Nigeria for good, Those supporting the criminals in government since 1960 and those opposing them will line up like zombies in 2027, they will repeat history, call it election, and expect different outcomes. You cannot convince me that we don´t have collective dementia in this enclave called Nigeria. it´s been a cycle of idiocy telling ourselves that we have political parties representing us. What we have are opportunists (you and I) waiting for our time to capture some political offices and steal money. It´s a general mad situations.

Historically, “Nigeria” under independent regional government was one of the best places to live in the world. The different regions within Nigeria were pacing to “global peak” because of the competitions between the regions. They tried to outdo one another in several aspects of life and only became a country mostly in sports as team members were picked or selected on merits from the different parts of the land.

Fast forward to post civil war Nigeria, what exists today is a bloodsucker country. There are no level playing fields. All politicians are criminals. All the religious citizens are hypocrites. The same people who go to mosques and churches daily are the same people perpetrating all the hates and wickedness across land. There is no strength in our diversity, we hate and kill.

How do you even want to start governing Nigeria? A cattle rearer would move his cows into all the farmlands on his way from the North to the south. How do you talk to someone who does not understand you, your language, your culture, your heritage and your ways of life? How can people who have nothing in common claim to be citizens of the same country? How can you come from the same country when you cannot live freely across it? The insanity across the land is profoundly indescribable. We are living a lie. We are living in denial. We are not one people, we will never be.

Those who capturte the center steal, loot, merry, cart away and then die (the part they forgot exist). Their accomplices, their children and their heir apparent would carry on the same shit. The rest, more than 200 million people, would be shouting one Nigeria but never experiencing the true meaning of life. They live predominantly in a blackout country having no electricity, no good roads and managing decaying or non-existent infrastructure. What kind of country is that?

I could go one. Indeed, Tinubu is a terrible person, so was Jonathan, Obasanjo, Atiku, Babangida, Buhari, Shagari, Abacha, Sonekan, all the past governors, all the present governors, all the sexists in the senate like Akpabio; have you forgotten one David Mark, a Bankole? They are all terrible, they are all criminals!

Their types will continue to exist and dominate until you sit at home during the next election and force the disintegration of Nigeria into the different regions. This would not even be the EUREKA. It is not the final solution. But it may serve as a step in the direction that may give hope to the next generation.

The emergence of the regions would give positive outcomes in 2 or 3 decades. To have not even started the journey and hoping that the price of garri would come down tomorrow is pure madness! How would Lagos not smell when the youth corper and her types across Nigeria flood to Lagos for the “goodlife”? What happened to developing business, social life, infrastructure and better life across all the nations that that entrapped in Nigeria? We knew that the population in Lagos is over exploded with many more tropping in on the limited infrastructure on ground. If we all go back to our independent countries and leave Yoruba Republic alone, maybe Yorubaland will stop smelling.

Nothing is going to get cheaper in Nigeria, a consuming economy. It is a rat race and it is the classical survival of the fittest environment. You adapt and survive or you go through life in the most worthless way. Nigeria does not care about you!

You should care about those whose life may also be wasted like yours and mine, you should care about your children and unborn generations. There are no immediate fix to any problem you see. No problem is fixable in Nigeria. But all the problems can be fixed if we go our separate ways and talk to those who understand our respective languages, those we share culture, customs and tradtion with. We need to sit down in our respective lands that our ancestors left to use and find a way to prepare the future for our coming generations.

No matter how much you wish for, or complain in a British colony called Nigeria, it will never get better. I have been hearing and engaging in this type of discussions since 1979, and this is 2025, nothing has improved. You have zero chance in Nigeria but you have all the world to prepare for in your country, the one the imperialists and the colonialists stole from you. It is there you have hope. It is there your children will find peace and prosperity.

Homecoming For Meghan Adetokunbo Markle, The Duchess of Sussex

Homecoming For Meghan Adetokunbo Markle, The Duchess of Sussex

By Adeola Aderounmu, Sweden.

The homecoming of Meghan Adetokunbo Markle with her husband Harry to Nigeria in May 2024 was almost unreported in the western media. In Sweden, the visit did not make a single headline (that I know of anyway). In other spaces, the reports have been unfair and in bad fate.

Only the Nigerian media did justice to the visit and they could have done more. They could have published editions of their newspaper entirely devoted to the visit and with thousands of pictures/images. That would have made the western media go crazy for sure.

Meghan Adetokunbo came home to Nigeria with her husband the Duke of Duchess because she found out that her ancestry lies in the heart of West Africa, in Nigeria. She is a royal and she came home to a royal acceptance from all the corners of Nigeria.

I am just making this entry to let it go down in records that the Swedish media is unreliable as much as the BBC and the other nonsensical western media. If young children are kidnapped in Nigeria, the Swedish media will be rolling over itself to report the bad news. DN, SVD, TV 1, TV2 and TV 4 will be all over the place to spread the bad news.

But a royalty made gallant entry to the land of her ancestors, and I still cannot remember hearing it on radio, seeing it on major newspapers or TV stations in Sweden. Even my favorite radio station P 4 did not mention it. They are probably stuck with reporting the traffic in mainland Stockholm.

Dearest Adetokunbo Meghan, this is wishing you all the best in your lifetime. May your enemies continue to be put to shame. Yorubaland stand behind you and the ancestors guide your ways and paths. Be careful in all you do, be meticulous in your decisions. Your enemies, our enemies are waiting for your mistakes. You know that more than I do.

Be careful in all ways. Take care of your family, the prince, and the kids.

You have a home with us and you are always welcome to be with the people who love you now and who will always love you forever.

Be well Adetokunbo Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.

Yours sincerely,

Adeola Aderounmu
