Understanding The 2024 Situation In Nigeria

In recent days (this February 2024), the criticisms against the Tinubu Jaguda government have toned up. There are reports of people dying of hunger. A woman fainted and her children are starving. A bag of cement is 9000 naira. A lot of things are displayed online with prices hitting the roof and bursting off.

But, how many of these problems in Nigeria are handiwork of Tinubu’s jaguda government and how many of it are due to the (stupid) expectations from about 200 million people? My explanations are long and perhaps repetitive.

Things are expensive globally

    The rise in cost of living in recent years, especially since the inception of the Russia-Ukraine war, is on a global scale. In Sweden, I know of an interest rate on housing that flew from USD 700 per month to USD 1300 per month. How does a civil servant anywhere in the world prepare to cough out so much difference every month on mortgage? What about the cost of food, transport, health care and other stuffs? In our stores and supermarkets in Sweden, prices have hit the roof and a lot of families are struggling. But this essay is not about the situation in Sweden.

    In a country like Nigeria, where the minimum wage is N 30 000 (< 20 USD), the hopes after the emergence of the Tinubu Emilokan jaguda government was that there would be a positive change. The man, Tinubu, made so many promises some people thought he would be their messiah. It’s turning out to be another episode of a long series of broken promises in Nigeria’s horror-filled politics.

    Nigeria is running a useless system of government

    Some of us have mentioned this several times but majority still troop to the ballot boxes every 4 years to keep the useless and senseless system of government working. As long as you are voting in Nigeria’s political elections, you are part of the reason Nigeria is what it is today. As long as you belong to a political party in this senseless system, you are part of the problem with yourself. How does this sound to your hearing: Make money in River State, send the money to Tinubu, Tinubu shares the money to Sokoto, Kaduna and the rest of the state including River State? How much of the amount River State sent to Tinubu do you think comes back to River State? Do the same math for Lagos and all the other states in the country where some economic activities are still going on. Do you think money made in Alaska would be send to Biden so Biden can send the money to Texas and other American states?

    In Nigeria today, all the monies from the regions are sent to Tinubu in Abuja. Before Tinubu, it was to Buhari, Jonathan, Obasanjo, Babangida, Shagari, Murtala and Gowon. This senseless thing started after the coups of 1966. How can you send money to one person and expect accountability? How can you send all the monies in an economy to an individual and you expect that individual to be sane? Even you, you will go crazy and surely become very corrupt!

    Make money in Rivers State, send the money to Tinubu in Abuja. Tinubu shares the money to Sokot, Kaduna, Imo and the remaining states in Nigeria. How much of the amount comes back to Rivers State? Does that even make any sense to you if you have some brain cells to think? But that is what you vote for every 4 years? You are the problem with yourself!

    Nigerian Politicians are corrupt. They are documented criminals.

    Some may argue that if Nigerian politicians are not corrupt, the unitary system would work. But that is the exact illusion that is created by the system and the (s)elections that come with it. That is what the criminal politicians what you to believe. That is why more than 3 generations of Nigerians have wasted away. That belief and hope in the system is the reason why this generation would die in extreme penury and poverty.

    Globally, politicians are corrupt to varying degrees. But Nigerian politicians are documented criminals. Some were criminals before they entered government houses, others became criminals after emerging in government houses. There is no way a sane person will not become insane after emerging in Nigerian politics. It’s designed for you to steal or loot.

    To be clear, the list of criminal-politicians living openly in Nigeria after looting in politics is endless. There is no justice under a unitary system of government and one of the reasons is the concentration of power in one person, at the center. Buhari, Jonathan, Obasanjo, Babangida, name them. All the former and serving governors. All the ministers, past and present. Everyone in Emilokan Jaguda government. They are all thieves. Nigeria is running a useless system of government supervised by thieves and you are crying that thing are expensive. You are not ready to save yourselves and your children.

    Nigeria is a consumption-based economy

    One of the consequences of sharing monies to different states in Nigeria was that several states became unproductive. Before the useless unitary system was introduced to Nigeria, all the different regions were very productive. Agriculture and industrialization were in full speed. The regions competed with one another. Their respective economies were vibrant, and the common currency was very strong. Infrastructures were built and maintained. Everything made in Nigeria and by Nigerians were of the highest standard. Our health care and schools attracted people from all over the world. That was the golden period of the regional system of government in Nigeria.

    Fast forward post unitary system of government. In 2024, some states in Nigeria do not produce a pin or a broom. The politicians cross their legs, sit their asses at the government houses and wait for federal allocations that have been mopped up from a few productive states. When the money gets to them, they steal most of it, at the state and local government levels. The same at the ministries; ministers loot monies and they get away with their loots. There are almost no consequences for being a criminal politician in Nigeria.

    Even in some states where minerals are mined, a few criminals in the states have cornered all the mineral resources with the help of unregistered foreign companies/persons. So, it would appear that the money shared to the states are looted by politicians. Then the income from the mineral resources that are supposed to be used for the state end up in the pockets of the same politicians and a few of their friends. These are the people you see buying houses and land for trillions of naira all over the country and abroad. Several politicians starting from the presidency down to the local government level just dip their hands into the country’s account and take money to buy houses in UK, Dubai and America.  Then you are there crying that things are expensive, you are not serious yet. Our freedom will never come on a platter of gold.  

    A rotten head

    What people are facing in Nigeria today are not only due to the pressure of global crises. Internationally, we are all feeling the impacts of a global economy meltdown. Interests on our mortgages are up in the sky, depression is high and homelessness (even in the absence of war) is noticeable.  But what makes Nigeria unique is that the head is super rotten. The head is represented by politics and policies. It is represented by law and order. By accountability and patriotism. But they are all decayed!

    It does not matter who is elected or selected as Nigeria’s president. You can be Atikufied or Obidiots or Agbadoists, it does not matter. Where did Anambra money go when Obi was governor? What did Atiku do with all he stole for years 1999 – 2007 as VP? The unitary system of government does not give accounts. It loots and assist to loot because that was the purpose of the system. In recent years, a man called Buhari, a classical dullard and a man of low mentality was pushed down the throats of Nigerians as president. In private conversation, we know that no one of us will employ Buhari as a gatekeeper or servant. He was that incompetent and incoherent. But some cabals made him a president. Unforgivable. Today, a certain Tinubu whose identity cannot be verified is leading. Everything about Tinubu is unclear. What is clear is that he, like Obi and Atiku, is one of the criminal politicians in Nigeria. But he is president.

    The heads in Nigeria have always been rotten. The implication is that the rottenness spreads into the entire network and systems in Nigeria. There is nothing in Nigeria today that does not smell. That is the most viable explanation to how some people with no known source of extra income, can survive on USD 20 a month. Even a bag of rice approached USD 70 but we move, abi? Nigerians say they hustle to make ends meet. You don’t want to know what hustle means to some people. Let’s leave it there. Try to get something that is your right in Nigeria, like a passport. Try to open a bank account. Try to park your car in a public place in Lagos Island. Everything is hard and frustrating. We rip one another. The head is bad, rotten and smelly. You can feel it in everything in Nigeria.

    Where do we go from here?

    In some articles in the past, I have written very provocatively. I still do, sometimes. In one controversial article published in the Nigerian Village Square, I asked if we should lease Nigeria to the former colonial masters, to see if they can turn things around in 10 years. On more than one occasion, I wrote articles titled: No rage, no change. They are here on my blog. Today, I cannot stand by and allow a rogue called a colonial master to rule my life; that article on leasing Nigeria was borne out of frustration in the days of ignorance. Still the idea was to provoke to positive actions. More than a decade later, Nigeria is down the hole.

    But I stand by “No rage, No change”. Sometimes, we say revolution. Sadly, Nigeria does not need a revolution that change people or replace people in a unitary system. Nigeria needs a revolution that would reshape the geographical space very dramatically. If Nigeria continue to exist in its modus operandi, I cannot see the light. Even the tunnel does not exist. As long as a unitary system of government remains, Nigeria and Nigerians are hopeless. 10 years from now, some will debate this provocation!

    The big question is: what can you give to make your geographical space a better place for your children? If my generation or the one after ends thinking we can save Nigeria, then we would end up chasing shadows. Our lives may add no real values to humanity. Our parents died believing in a certain imaginary one Nigeria. See where it left us.

    Our concern should be on our common heritage, our common culture, our common values, our common language. We must return to where the bubble bursts in 1966. Everybody need to know where we were before the 2 useless 1966 coups in order to understand what we are up against. It would not come easy because the politicians, the elites and the rogue colonial masters are also ready to keep Nigeria as a giant slave camp. But with a massive population of over 60 million representing, the Yoruba for example must be able to govern their Western Region where Agriculture was king. Nobody was eager to leave Yoruba Western Region for a low standard London or Paris, at that time. My mother stayed back in Abeokuta of the 1950s. She told me the story. What a glorious choice she made. In 2002, I could not make the same decision as my mother when the call came. What applied to a 1960 glorious Western Yoruba Land applied also to the other regions at that time. It is the regions that we must take back in order to pursue own peace, happiness and economic prosperity.

    One of the greatest fallacies and chant of slaveries in Nigeria today is “We will take Nigeria back”. From who? Was Nigeria ever made for you? What is Nigeria? We have lived our lives on false identity. Sadly, we will die this way, with the identity that our ancestors did not bequeath to us. But we can save our children and the unborn generations by giving them their rightful identities. You can never claim back what was never yours. Nigeria was created as a slave camp. What belongs to you is Western Region-Yoruba, Eastern Region-Igbo (Biafra), Northern Region-Arewa, Middle-Belt and the South-South (The Delta). In this new age, perhaps more regions should emerge. Why not? Some of the most prosperous countries in the world do not even have a million inhabitants.

    Finally, there will be no quick fix to all the problems that have accumulated in Nigeria since the erroneous coups of 1966 and the prevalence of mad, corrupt people in government houses since 1966 to date. If we correct the most fundamental error today (that is operating at the regional levels), our children and children’s children would have something to smile about in the next 20, 30, 40 or 50 years and forever.

    We have to stop crying or lamenting on the social media and in real life. We need to stop praying from Maiduguri to Jerusalem and Mecca. Let us stop wasting time. Stop sharing nonsense. Share the history and stories that will change for our lives for better, forever. Spread the news that awaken our critical thinking. Let us disagree to agree that we need a proper plan for the rest of our lives.  Our progress starts the day we start building our respective nations again. Everything starts on the day of our real freedom from a slave camp called Nigeria.

    Tinubu Cannot Give What He Doesn’t Have

    / Adeola / Leave a comment

    By Adeola Aderounmu

    In some way, we are all like Tinubu, we cannot give what we don’t have.

    I had described Tinubu’s government as a Jaguda government. A Jaguda government is a criminal government, simple. I have seen outcry over the 2024 Tinubu’s budget. I have not expressed any outrage because there is none. Though a lot of government in the world are criminal organizations, the pattern of it in Nigeria is disturbing.

    If someone had told you that Tinubu is a hungry man or a hustle before he became the president of Nigeria, you would have dismissed the allegation just the same way his wife Remi did. She said Tinubu does not need Nigeria’s money. She is a blood liar. Everyone lies at some point, but some lies are entrenched in some people’s DNA.

    Have you seen how much Tinubu is taking from the National treasury to feed his hungry family? I don’t care about the amount because he did not start the madness. Buhari and Baba kekere-Osinbajo did not start it either. Hungry families have been moving in and out of government houses since it’s creation. Nigeria fed the hungry brits. Now she will feed the hungry Tinubus. It is called heritage. If you wanted a one Nigeria, your ancestors may punish you if you complain about the 2024 budget because the 2025 will not be different.

    A few people have cornered the goodness of the land. They have stopped the flow of milk and honey to more than 180 million people living in poverty,

    Tinubu cannot give to Nigeria that which he does not have. Let us be clear for the umpteenth time. The problem is not Tinubu. The problem is Nigeria. The country was manufactured by the rogues of England. The profits of the “lands” or “nations” entrapped within Nigeria are shared mostly among foreign criminal governments, foreign criminal organisations and the “Nigerian” elites that have perpetuated and perfected the process of neo-colonisation.

    The only thing that still speaks against the highly placed criminality of the Nigerian elites is the confession of a Nigerian politician in the late 1970s that there is enough to go round even if Nigerian politicians and the people are greedy. There is enough for everyone’s greed. That is how “rich” Nigeria is even under the biggest management. But the goodness does not go round because for example we are being told that a man like Emefiele has 4 banks. We also know that Tinubu stole money and gave his son to buy an expensive house in UK. I mean there are uncountable reasons why there is not enough today for everyone’s greed. A few people have cornered the goodness of the land and have stopped the flow of milk and honey to more than 180 million people living in poverty.

    In the 1990s, I read a story that I believed so much. That if the resources of the Niger Delta were properly managed, they are enough to sustain the entire Africa continent. I believed the narrative because in Europe, there are countries that have inadequate resources, but the people are living good, most of them.

    Therefore, the problem is not Tinubu. The problem is the existence of Nigeria. The problem is the extinction of the nations that competed during the early years of Nigeria. The problem is the extinction of the Western Region, the Eastern Region and the Northern Region. The problem is the lack of determination of the people entrapped in Nigeria to seek freedom and pursuit of happiness in independent nations. The people chose slavery – they chose Nigeria – the modern slave ship.

    Tinubu cannot give you what he does not have. The 2024 budget is what he has. A criminal will always make criminal documents to keep himself in business. A criminal will surround himself with loyal criminals. That is what government in Nigeria has always been, that is what it will always be. Again, I must remind you that most governments in the world are criminal organisations. The most distinguishing element of the criminality of the Nigeria government is not giving a damn about consequences.

    What Tinubu can give you is a cosmetic fight against corruption. He will choose his fight carefully because if a criminal steps on the wrong toes, he would be burnt, brutally. Tinubu can drag Emefiele. The former central bank rogue is an easy target. The man who employed him or the government he served can breathe. They have a scape goat. Everything about Tinubu is fake. You know the stories. You want a good life from a man who made fortunes through a fake life? You are the biggest joker.

    The redemption of the people trapped in Nigeria can never come from a man whose hands are soiled in blood. The redemption will not come from a bloody liar who made a living and a curious life out of lies and deceits. Tinubu will almost pursue a unilateral line of anticorruption: Emeliefiasis. Emeliefe served in a corrupt regime. Corruption has been the national anthem since 1960 and the amplification of corruption between 1999 (when Tinubu himself became a rogue governor) and today is unprecedented in the history of mankind.

    Every now and then, one way or the other, there will be cheering news. Something like the railway line evolving. Remember that these rail lines are very old inventions and that the side cuts in terms of corruption are massive and unspoken. Every now and then, there will always be a silver lining somewhere. That is how Nigeria was built to function.

    The playground for success will never be level. The opportunity to succeed will never reach every corner of Maiduguri or Badagry. A unilateral system of government is not for the benefit of everyone. It is for the selected few, their families-when they find harmony within, and their business friends-locally and internationally. What about the lobbyists and the PR machines always making sure that the public spaces and the media you consumed fill you with hope that Nigeria will be better in your lifetime? My grandparents were fed with the same message of hope. My parents died hoping for a return to the lives they had in Western Nigeria.

    At some points, I thought it would come. But now, having been fortunate to cross middle age, I am sure the hope of unborn generations of Yoruba cannot be in the hands of criminals like Tinubu (or Obasanjo before him). No man can ever give you what he does not have. But gangsters and impostors will pretend to do so. I love the word “inexplicable”. It has helped me to describe the average mentality of the Nigerian hoping that things will get better and life will be good for more than 200 million people entrapped in colonial-made NIGGER AREA.

    In all honesty, all a typical Nigeria seek is better life for himself/herself. That hope is a selfish hope and has nothing to do with the rest of us. If we care for one another, our thoughts of freedom should be unanimous, our quests to live happy and to find peace with man and nature will be unquestionable. We would be in our nations building, inventing, investing, and making a better world ready for our children and the generations unborn.

    But we can’t give what we don’t have, can we?

    Living in Denial (1). The Absence Of Freedom

    Living in Denial. The Absence Of Freedom
    BY Adeola Aderounmu

    In 2007 I compiled my articles and published them as a collection titled “The Entrapment Of A Nation”. The title suggested that I wrapped Nigeria (which itself consisted of several disjointed nations) as a nation. The suitability of the title apart, what is obvious is that the geographical area occupied by the people called Nigerians is largely entrapped. The journey into this entrapment happened systematically.

    The nations entrapped within Nigeria first lost their identities and dignities due to exposure to foreign merchants. These merchants later metamorphosed to slave masters and religious masters. Despite the declaration of independence in 1960, Nigeria remains largely in the hands of neocolonialists and heartless tropical gangsters disguised either as democrats or soldiers under varying dispensations.

    As nationals of the entrapped nations within Nigeria, we cannot cry forever over our disrupted civilization. We cannot cry forever for all the stolen knowledge that came out of Africa and converted to European knowledge. No, we cannot.

    As a blogger my responses to events in Nigeria nowadays (2023) are very slow. There is a reason for that. I refused to be reactive, and I do not jump on the bandwagon. For over 2 decades, I have blogged about Nigeria, first as a believer in the project Nigeria, then as a convert, fiercely advocating not just for the dismantling of the Nigerian project, but a soul-searching journey into the meaning/essence of life and how to live and let’s live.

    It is such that there is nothing I’ll write now that I’d not written before in the last 10-20 years on this blog or some Nigerian newspapers as a freelance columnist.

    Two recent things caught my attention. One is the criminal record of Tinubu. They are super obvious to the point where both the weaklings and oppositions in the Nigerian political space are using the criminal records as wind-sail to unseat him. But ask yourself: how did a criminal like Tinubu become the (s)elected president in the first place? What kind of useless, stupid and senseless political parties elevate and reward criminality? The kind that is based on laughable unitary system that is practiced only in Nigeria. You must be a criminal to participate or engage in a unitary system of government. I cannot forget that on countless occasions, I advocated for the end of the reign of Buhari. It’s the same pattern, Buhari is a dunce, a nonentity and a tyrant that was allowed to reign for 8 years. EIGHT YEARS!!!

    The posterity of the nations entrapped in Nigeria is on a permanent pause for as long as Nigeria exists. This leaves a question mark on all the discussions about Nigerian politics. It is a huge mark on the collective mental states of Nigerians. You cannot engage in a unitary system of government and complain of its outcome. You cannot plant cassava and harvest cocoa.

    Moreover, there is no single soul trying to unseat Tinubu that does not have his or her own criminal tendencies. As a matter of fact, the chief seeker Atiku Abubakar is in the same league as Tinubu as active Nigerian criminals masquerading as politicians. The ills of Nigeria are huge and obvious. My argument has always been that Nigerians put evil people on the scale and choose between the lesser and the greater one. Doing this in a unitary system of government rewards nepotism, laziness, ineptitude and slave mentality.

    The second thing that caught my attention, but no reaction until now, is the untimely death of the artist called Mohbad. I have no inkling of who he was when he was alive and everything I know about him now are from headlines that I stumbled upon. Whatever led to the untimely death of this promising young star is, once again, one of the several symptoms of a rotten system where the rule of men is mostly above the rule of law. There are now uncountable members of the jury who are making their own judgements of the matter. It’s a mess. May his troubled earthly soul find peace with the ancestors.

    When all the noise is over, who will see over the sanity of the music industry in an undesirable unitary system of government? What can be done for the music industry in the Yoruba Country? How can the Igbo nation regulate and make money from her music industry? How can the music industry add value of the economy of the Arewa Kingdom? These are the questions for the future of the nations that today remained entrapped in Nigeria. There is a lot to be gained from drawing the carpets under the feet of the politicians that are keeping the rest of the population in bondage.

    I remember my essays on Nigeria at 50. I asked then, what is there to celebrate”? who could have thought that 13 years later, Nigeria and Nigerians are still sailing like there is another life. This is the life. The fourth generation of it is on the waste lane as well. Hoping that things will get better for all was the bad dream that our grandparents passed to our parents and we have passed it to our children, in a stupidly active manner. Hoping against hope is now in our genotypes. It is a very deep mess. Almost incurable.

    Nigeria is now 63. Rather than seek freedom for the different nationalities entrapped in Nigeria, majority are praying. It’s like believing that Satan exist and praying that Satan should repent so that Jesus can excel. We are so messed up in our mentalities.

    Avicii said “Wake me up when it’s all over”. If you ever get to find out the meaning of this phrase, when the morning comes, you’ll be the first to gather men and women to seek for your freedom. The opportunity cost is the demise of Nigeria. Nobody will wake you up when it’s all over, deep people rest, permanently.

    Tinubu’s Jaguda Government (2)

    / Adeola / Leave a comment

    By Adeola Aderounmu

    There is a lot of distraction nowadays for the incompetent regime in Nigeria led by one Bola Tinubu Ahmed (a man whose real names are actually still a mystery).

    The coup in Niger-(a country spoon-fed by one Buhari, a former tyrant and dictator from Niger who ruled over Nigeria twice)-has given Tinubu the distraction he needed. Personally, I’m not in good touch with the sequences of events in Niger, and to be honest, Niger can be or become whatever it wants to be for all I care.

    The Tinubu gangsterism should be a shock to all. First, it was a selection process that is still being disputed that brought this Agbero-style government to power. But with all the expectations that even a faulty (s)election would not hinder the ushering in of intellectuals and experts into the new government, the outcome had been to the contrary.

    The Tinubu Jaguda government has now appointed one criminal called Ganduje as its chairman. This man who is a former governor in Kano is a criminal (just like Tinubu of course) who was even caught in a video accepting several thousand dollars in bribe. But under the Buhari government, Ganduje thrived despite the openness of his crimes. So Tinubu who is swimming in a lot of criminal allegations is now surrounding himself with more criminals. Tinubu is crazy.

    There are so many appointees or nominated appointees in this Tinubu Jaguda government that you will never believe your eyes. A terrorist and a former governor of Kaduna, the man popularly called Hell Rufai is on the list to become a min ister again. He was a minister under Obasanjo. He was a governor under Buhari. He is now set to become a minister again under Tinubu. There is something about the man, a sponsor of Boko Haram and a self-acclaimed jihadist (even as seen in a recent vide which is on this blog, though i have not written a text about the video).

    Why do all the past 3 administration hold a terrorist in their government? Why is Hell-Rufai above the law? it’s the same way Pantami was above the law, a minister under Buhari, who had earlier called for the extermination of non-muslims in Northern Nigeria.

    Nigeria has no business in Niger. The people who called themselves Nigeria are living the lives of slaves. They need to free themselves from the Tinubu Jaguda government. There were many moments under the Buhari tyrannic reign that could have led to emancipation and total freedom, but some reasons, all the opportunities were thrown to the wind.

    Even that drunkard called Wike, who committed crimes against humanity by killing the Igbos in River State has been nominated to be a Minister. Tinubu is either crazy or brain-dead at this moment.

    In the last few days, some ministerial nominees have shown up with very questionable characters and credentials. How did Tinubu know all these mad people? If I have to form a government, should I not look at the person, know the person and see their track records in public administration? What is Tinubu’s motive in assembling criminals in the administration of Nigeria? The answer is simple. Nigeria is a fraudulent country founded on fraudulent grounds by the British gangsters. Nigeria is made for the pleasure of the British (and perhaps the US), the satisfaction of the elites and the permanent suppression of the gullible people coerced into the union called NIGGER-AREA.

    The problem is not Tinubu’s Jaguda government. The problem is the continued existence of the fraud called Nigeria. So, when you want to complain, you should know where to turn your attention. As long as you are in support of the existence of Nigeria, this is your life-time portion. It’s either you make it in that country one way or the other or you die in poverty. There will never be a level playing ground and the opportunties would be limited, as long as Nigeria exist.

    I have to stop writing now so I don’t end up what I have been writing for the past 21 years.

    If you do not support the freedom of your nationality, let’s keep rolling in the deep together.

    Nigeria’s 2023 Disgraceful (S)Elections: No Surprises..!

    / Adeola / Leave a comment

    If you are complaining about the 2023 Nigeria’s (s)election, you are like a child that does not know medicine and called it vegetable. Welcome to the club of traumatized children and adults. May your stay be short..!

    Nigeria’s 2023 Disgraceful (S)Elections: No Surprises..!

    Adeola Aderounmu

    Only babies and ignorant people should cry or complain about Nigeria’s (s)election process for 2023 for which several billions of naira was earmarked.

    I have been conscious of Nigeria’s elections since 1979 (that is 44 years ago), so what happened this year (in 2023) is just a sequel to my earliest traumatic knowledge of elections in Nigeria. In 1979, Obasanjo stole the mandate of UPN and dashed it to NPN.

    On a number of occasions, I have written about this traumatic 1979 elections. The trauma is a life-long one. It was not made easier when that criminal called Babangida also stole Abiola’s mandate in1993 and threw it away like a piece of rubbish.

    So, if you are complaining about the 2023 Nigeria’s election, you are like a child that does not know medicine and called it vegetable. Welcome to the club of traumatized children and adults. May your stay be short!

    I have no complaints about the (s)elections. It was exactly how I envisaged it based on a 44-year old trauma.

    Since 2011, I have shouted times without numbers on this blog that Nigeria does not need elections. But I am just one person, unheard. So, I continue to write hoping that the future generations will pick up some lines, act and hopefully find freedom that their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents ignored. As far as I am now concerned, the slavery in Nigeria is now one of choice, and not force or cohesion.

    For, how can a people or diverse people know the truth but chose to live the lies? I have termed it classical madness. Then sometimes I am thinking about a lot of things. I am trying to forgive myself and those who took me to many crusades as a child, even as an adult to pray for Nigeria. The precious times I would have spent learning programming and abstract mathematics if I was born in China or Sweden.

    People are still praying for Nigeria. Such a waste of time and such a senseless behaviour. Which Gods/gods are they praying to? Did a God create Nigeria? How is Nigeria the problem of any god at all?

    The Europeans created Nigeria by mixing nationalities that have nothing in common. That was the beginning of the entire madness. The Europeans and Arabs brought a concoction of religions to add more salt to the injuries. The confusion became enormous. Anyway, God will not solve the problems he/she did not create. When common sense starts to prevail, the people called Nigerians will disown their slave’s name, reinvent their original nationalities, and start on the path to rebuilding the advanced civilization that the Europeans stole or destroyed.

    A lot of ignorant people are complaining about INEC, about Mahmoud. The staffs at INEC are their brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. Are they saying that their family members are mad? The problem is not INEC. The problem is NIGERIA. Nigeria is not a country. it is a British company established for the pleasure of the queen of England. One of the most useless slogans in the 2023 elections was TAKE NIGERIA BACK.

    Was Nigeria your father’s property. You cannot, and you will never take Nigeria back.

    Peter Obi is a PDP member who hijacked the LP. That is what political prostitutes do. They are desperate for power.

    What you can take back is Biafra or Igbo Nation. What I can take back is Yoruba Country. what they can take back is Arewa, and the creeks of Jaja Opobo. Bury those ignorant thoughts of taking Nigeria back. Nigeria was never yours and it will never be. Nigeria used to belong to the British only and nowadays those who conquer Nigeria at the center (in a useless unitary system) co-owns Nigeria with the British owners.

    I have no complaints with the 2023 elections. It was exactly what I thought it would be. And if you didn’t know since 2022 that Tinubu would win, then you need more than 500 hours of re-education about everything in your life. The moment you get involved in trying to choose one out of 3 criminals (Obi, Tinubu and Atiku), is the moment you lost the right to complain about the outcome.

    Peter Obi is a PDP member, Tinubu is APC and Atiku, like Obi, is PDP. Peter Obi only hijacked LP, and that is what political prostitutes do. On this blog, I have shown that Atiku is the number 1 political prostitute in Africa (probably the world). Peter Obi was his mentee until he bailed out in 2022, so not a surprise to me that he hijacked the Labour Party. Obi is not a Labour Party person. He used LP because he is an opportunist, desperate for power. Anyway, not my business that several millions of people became accessories in the hands of these criminals who ordinarily should be in prison (if Nigeria was ever a country). On this blog, I have written about the UNTOUCHABLES (Atiku, Tinubu and Orji Kalu). That was in 2007. 16 years later, these 3 criminals are still prominent in Nigeria’s politics.

    These days, my concern and interest are on the Yoruba Country. I am worried that Yoruba are not doing enough to exit Nigeria (or at least return to our West) so that we can take control of our resources and develop our country, The Yoruba Country. I am upset about the lack of unity in our land-The Yorubaland, because the moment we find our rhythm, we will be on our way out of Nigeria.

    It is imperative that this life-time ambition come to pass so that our children and unborn children can live in the land that our ancestors left behind for us. Our land is Yorubaland presently called Western Nigeria. Once we start to manage our resources prudently, nobody will have the courage or audacity to call our land “No man’s land”. Surely, we will live peacefully with all the citizens of the world, and they will always be welcome to buy, rent, build or own property on our land. But no matter what, our land will still be ours and not a no man’s land. There will be regulation, there will be order. Mutual respect will reign because we are hospitable and civilized.

    There is a lot more on my mind but let me try to end this now. Nigeria is not going to change for you, never. It’s a shame on those who know that the unitary system of government is a fraud but chose to remain quiet. I see multitudes of people, several millions of Nigeria who do not know that their suffering is based not only on corruption and outright madness of the politicians, but also on the unitary system of government which creates a permanent slave-master existence. Nobody, I repeat nobody can rule successfully over 200 million people using a useless unitary system. Again, that is classical madness.

    INEC and Mahmud are not your problem. Your problem is Nigeria. It was designed to fail, and to make slaves out of people in the NIGGER ARES.
