You Cannot ”Go-Fund” Nigeria

I woke up this morning 10 January 2025 to a tiktok post by one Chidera Precious who wants to go-fund a local hospital in her village in Abia State. She had been on holiday from the United States and her sister required medical attention after a domestic accident. It became a nightmare when they visited the hospital and the hospital asked them to go and buy practically everything that her wounded sister required.

If you are interested in the entire story. You can search the name on tiktok. The comment section would also be worth reading.

My dear sister, you may have a good intention but…let me tell you the possible implications of the go-fund me. One idiot in the village may use the money to buy nice cars and a piece of land. If the fund became massive, the idiot would even build a house.

One boss at the hospital may actually buy the necessary items that you generated the funds for. But what happens when the fund is finished? Will you go-fund the hospital for life?

There are so many other things that may happen to the proceeds of the go-fund me. Let me leave that to your imaginations.

Nigeria can never be rescued with go-fund me initiatives in the field of medical facilities or health care infrastructure in general. 

The good thing with this initiative is that it is focused on a village in Abia State. However, it would seem that the village is in the sky. I mean, does the village not have a local government chairman? Does the state not have a governor? The village is not existing in isolation I would presume. So, there should be some annual budget for health in Abia state. There must be budget plans for all the hospitals in all the local governments and in all in health facilities in the state. Private hospitals must have their budget plans too and their operations must be based on available of equipment and medical resources. I hope.  

This village in Abia state is not alone. The entire health infrastructure in Nigeria is a complete disgrace to the intellectual well-being of the African person.

Many years ago on this blog, I suggested that there should be at least 108 functional world class general hospital in Nigeria. That is the least that Nigeria would need, in view of the ever-growing population. Dear Chidera, you cannot build 108 world class hospitals with go-fund me.

But my stance on Nigeria has changed along the line. I do not believe that Nigeria can be rescued, and I do not believe in Nigeria as a country. I have come to accept Nigeria as the business enterprise that the bastard British made it in 1914.

Therefore, my take is that the Biafra Nation or the Igbo Nation would care for the health of the people when Biafra is free. I believe that the Yoruba country would take the health of the Yoruba seriously when the Yoruba country is free. The same will be for any of the nations that are still entrapped in Nigeria, in 2026.

Someone may ask: what is the difference between the people ruling Nigeria now and those who will rule in Biafra or Yoruba countries. The difference will be huge my dear.

Nigeria is run as a business, so the idea of world class hospitals does not arise anywhere.

Biafra country, the Yoruba country, the Arewa country, the Niger Delta country would be governed as serious countries and not the business that Nigeria is. If you know the difference, you will find peace of mind and have great hopes for the unborn generations who would be beneficiaries of the potentials that are entrapped and enslaved in British-made Nigeria.

We cannot go-fund Nigeria. We need to fight for freedom. We need to set our entrapped countries free. We need to build the foundations for the children that are not born. We need to drop this hope and expectations that Nigeria will make it. We cannot wait for Nigeria to happen to us before we acquire or apply sense.

Advocating for Nigeria and hoping that Nigeria will become what we expect is no longer a dream. It has become a nightmare and the only time influential people realize this is when Nigerian suddenly happens to them. Meanwhile that is the Nigeria that we were born into, that is the only Nigeria we know, breath and sojourn daily. This Nigeria has no prospect for the unborn generations. It is based on me, myself and I. It is based on I pass my neighbour, it is based on myopic views about life.

We need to free the entrapped nations in Nigeria and that is the only way our unborn generations that compete in the world 50 years from now, 100 years from now and forver more.

We must let our stitch in time saves nine, and more.

A Risky Life

A Risky Life.

By Adeola Aderounmu, Sweden.

The life of a Nigerian may be worth nothing. The entire world became shocked that Anthony Joshua lost his 2 friends in a fatal accident and there was no ambulance to take him (the survivor) to the hospital.

It’s been about 20 years now: stories and events like what happened to Anthony Joshua are what I have written about regularly. The fact that the world npw knows about the stupidity of Nigerian politicians does not mean that 36 world standard hospitals would be built in Nigeria. I wrote about the need for that few years ago on this blog. The unfortunate incident with Anthony does not even mean that any useless governor in Nigeria would provide more than enough ambulances to convey people from their homes or sites of accidents to hospitals.

What will happen is that amnesia will set in and life will go one until NIGERIA happens to the next person. I heard someone calling the Ogun State governor out. We have called that man out for many other reasons. Some of the worst roads in Nigeria are in Ogun State and to be sure Nigerian roads are the worst roads I have travelled in my life. That is personal because I have not been to so many countries.

But I refused to be dragged into what the solutions are for Nigeria. For Nigeria, there are no solutions because Nigeria was carved in 1914 as a business enterprise by the British for the pleasure of the English Royal family.

I want to be dragged into the prospects for the countries that are entrapped in Nigeria. The Yoruba country for example which (as western Nigeria) was one of the most developed places in the world until the senseless military coup of 1966 set stop to her development and dragged her in the gutters with the rest of Nigeria as a “unitary state”. Eastern Nigerian was also on her path as the technology capital of the world before the same useless 1966 coup in Nigeria.

If the progresses of Yorubaland were not truncated by the several coups that followed and many years of maladministration that continued to this day in 2026, there is no way we would have lost our place as one of the most developed places in the world and our hospitals, roads and schools would have remained world class.

In several essays my arguments are that Nigeria must be dismantled so that the countries within can emerge and start to plan for how their children and children’s children would live in the next 50 to 100 years. But what we see every four years are morons and MOFOS planning (s)elections and repeating the same cycle of idiocy, madness, and sycophancy. Then the people from whom history have been taken and who have been starved of knowledge and free thinking also helps to recycle a failed idea of unitary government that will forever promote the elites, their friends, families, and other acquaintances.

If Nigerians do not want their children to live a risky life, a worthless life, that they are now passing through, a life that can be sniffed away in the twinkle of any eye, they need to put a stop to Abuja politics, they need to put a stop to the stupid and nonsense unitary system of government. They need to demand for autonomy in the regions and possibly the emergence of countries just like the United Kingdom is made up of different countries.

Just imagine a world where the Yoruba country, the Biafra country and the Arewa can be present at the world cup at the same time. Imagine a fourth qualification by the boys from the creeks. In the British-tamed Nigeria, 4 to 5 countries can emerge that could play for honours at the world cup.  

In any case, there is a lot to continue to write about Nigeria until a certain generation would rise up against the useless type of government that pervades the land. There is need for re-education, re-enlightening, re-awakening that whatever led to the risky life we live, whatever led to the life of poverty we live and whatever returned us to the uncivilized era are reversible through conscious and collective efforts.

The acceptance of Nigeria can never lead to freedom or liberation. The acceptance of Nigeria is selfish, wicked and barbaric. We, the adults, cannot think now of what we stand to gain from/in Nigeria, it is too late. People need to wake up, smell the coffee and deliver to the unborn generations, countries that would allow them to seek peace and prosperity.

The unborn generations need to grow in countries where their potentials would be unleashed so that perhaps 100 – 200 years from today, they can catch up with the rest of the world and put Yorubaland, Igboland, Hausaland, Delta region and other places within the Nigerian geographical space in the fore fronts as world powers.

These countries entrapped in Nigeria can achieve such feats but Nigeria will never come close. The British did not create Nigeria to emancipate us, they did to enslave us and they are happy with our uncivilized ways-some people in Nigeria have never seen an ambulance all their lives an they have never experienced world class hospital facilities. They will never do!

Our politicians are also happy to keep us in slavery. Freedom will not be served on a platter of gold. It will come with the due resistance and the emergence of collective intellectual power/will.

The day we stop thinking of ourselves, the day we start thinking of the unborn generations, that is the day our march to freedom begins.

Nigeria’s Full Blown Terrorism

I am also late on writing on this recent upsurge in terrorism in Nigeria. I mean for several years on this blog, I warned that this day would come. In fact, it would get worse. If the terrorist decide to run over for example Yorubaland as we write, there is nothing that could stop them.

I wrote immensely about the unregulated influx of unknown people into Yorubaland, Lagos especially. Let the governor of Lagos State take a tour of the state and see how the population of undocumented people have increased astronomically. There are several potential terrorist cells across Yorubaland. I present to him Festac town as a case study. Let him visit 3rd avenue. He should get to 7th avenue and now 24 road by 721 road.

Lagos and infact Yorubaland has been under siege and the terror cells are there.

So, during the recent attack on Yorubaland, I didn’t know what to say or write because the things I warned about on this blog were playing out like a movie.

Nigeria is not a country. We do not want to come to terms with the fact that we need to split the senseless British colony into the precolonial countries.

Imagine having the Yoruba Army, The Yoruba Navy, The Yoruba Armed Forces and the Yoruba Police, how on earth would we not defend our Yoruba country?

Yoruba country need to wake up and emancipate itself from the oncoming domination of her country by the Fulani.

If the US comes, it may end up in negotiations and Yoruba soveregnity might be lost forever. The US has a history of leaving bitter pills behind.

It is only the Yoruba that can defend Yorubaland.

Nigeria is not a viable country and the stupidity of the british in joining countries that have nothing in common in 1914 ought to be reversed immediately so that we can defend our country and our ancestral land,

I am unable to write about the useless unitary government here, I don’t even have the time to write about the nonsense Abuja politics.

How many people know that most European countries will perish if the money wasted on Abuja politics and Abuja politicians disappear from their countries. They won’t last more than 6 months or a year. That is how expensive, foolish and meaningless Abuja politics is.

As far as I am concern, it is Yoruba country or I shut up. I don’t believe in Nigeria. I have only sympathy and empathy left for Nigeria/Nigerians.

When I go home, I will always be in Yorubaland.

Tinubu’s Jaguda Government (Part 3)

/ Adeola / Leave a comment

I have not been writing regularly for some reasons. One is the fact that my blog which is about 2 decades old contain most of the issues that plague Nigeria. I could also blame the nature of my work and working hard to make ends meet.

Tinubu released some names this week regarding possible ambassadorial posts. One of the criminals on the list is one Omokri who participated in the looting of Nigeria under Jonathan. I consider him a criminal and therefore take almost no interest in what he post or spew. I do come across reactions to his posts so invariably I know a lot about the nonsense he propagate.

My take is still that Nigeria is a business empire more than it is a country. That is why criminals parade themselves as politicians. That is why, like I always state, rather than living in prisons, the politicians are in Aso rock and all over the government houses in Nigeria acting as leaders.

That is why a former criminal under Jonathan’s regime who is a known liar and haters of certain ethnic groups in Nigeria would get a nomination to be an ambassador. The same criminal who boasted that he will never under any circumstances accept a position under Jaguda Tinubu.

It can only take a jaguda government to employ criminals all over the place.

Until my last breathe, I will be for the dissolution of Nigeria and the emancipation of all the powerful nations entrapped within it.

Therefore, though I detest the situation in Nigeria, I should care less of a certain nonentity called Omokri.

My focus is still about the Yoruba country which I would like to see in the fore front of world affairs (even if I have to see that from the grave).

Those hoping that another government other than Tinubu’s jaguda government can fix Nigeria are myopic. I always say, after observing Nigerian politics since 1979, and seeing no changes in all those years, I’d be a fool to believe in a regime change. Nigeria will never work!

It is only the nations entrapped in it that can rebuild and bring their people closer to the meaning of life, allowing them to pursue happiness, peace, love and prosperity with what nature has endowned on them and with the human resources at their disposal.

Do I need to say again that the unitary system of government is the most useless, most senseless and most stupid system of government any country can practise. Until that system is abolished, until Abuja politics is erased and the criminals in the useless senate/house are sent back to the constituencies, we are all just complaining in vain.

We are used to addressing symptoms, and always afraid to kill the disease. Since 1966, that is what “Nigerians” have done. The day we are ready, the demands are clear: take us back to pre-1966 coup or give us our countries: Yoruba Country, The Igbo Country and so on.

Nigeria: “Terrible Governments” Did Not Start Today.

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.
