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.

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.

My Random Reflection @ 53

My Random Reflection @ 53

It has been 18 years since I started to write this series: My Random Reflections. Usually, they bothered around my personal life and Nigeria. In recent years my focus shifted from Nigeria to what I expect of the future: a future that Nigeria would be dismantled so that the entrapped nations/countries in it can be set free to attain greatness and align with the super powers of the world. It is such a shame and a waste of human resources that both the intellectuals and fools in Nigeria are talking about a certain 2027 elections 2 years into the useless reign of the present regime. Invariably, each successive regime since 1999 govern stupidly and loot for 2 years out of four and spend the remaining two years planning for the next elections thereby bringing an already useless government to a total halt. This is the cycle since 1999 when one dictator called Abdulsalami finally handed over to Obasanjo to usher in a civilian regime. The return was overdue because in 1993, another criminal and dictator called Babangida refused to hand over governance to MKO Abiola who won the 1993 elections.

My stand on Nigeria.

I do not support Nigeria to exist as a single country because before the senseless and useless coups of 1966, Nigeria as it was, was a rising superpower courtesy of the regional government where each region supported itself through her own resources and the competitions between the regions meant that development was fast-paced and the regions were at some point faring better than almost all the European countries.

Yes, Western Nigeria was ahead of London and Paris before the coups of 1966 that brought a unified system of government to replace the regional government. I have flooded my blog with this historical perspective several times and since many young people do not know these historical facts, they are being fooled quarterly with fake elections that have buried Nigeria permanently as one of the worst places to live in the world.

I refuse to accept any tourist or tourists’ slogan that rate Nigeria high. The minimum wage in Nigeria is about N70 000. It cannot buy a bag of rice! Any Nigerian living on minimum wage cannot afford a 1 – 3 hour stay at any internationally rated tourist destination in Nigeria. So, please let that rest. There are several other arguments to support my claim that Nigeria is one of the worst places to live on earth. Drive around Festac and see a trip to hell. Drive off Lusada road. Drive Matogun area. Forget about Lagos Island where the distractions blind you from the realities of our lives in this country. For the past 3 weeks, from the end of June 2025 to this day the 13th of July 2025, you cannot register a SIM CARD in Nigeria. Is that even a country? Please…! Where else on earth does network that bothers on national security stops working? Where? Then you don’t get any official information and no date for activation of the network can save or take the lives of 200 million people.

The Value Of The Naira. The Black Out Factor.

The naira which is the official currency of Nigeria used to have more value that the pounds and dollars a few decades back. Today in 2025, the value of the naira is next to useless. A medium fancy mama put in Nigeria will demand N5 000 from you for a decent meal. In the lowest of category, maybe N2000 when you finish ordering 2 spoons of rice, one meat, 3 for N100 dodo and water for N200. In some places where they serve you meat, the meat is as small as a SIM CARD. It’s not better to cook at home. What can a minimum wage of N70k do? You can spend it in a few minutes buying bread, rice and yam. A lot of good food substances in Nigeria are out of the reach of the ordinary citizen today. What a tragedy for the value of the naira and what it can take home.

The value will continue to depreciate as long as the government remains corrupt. The politicians pay themselves huge wages, several millions per month to be sure. The country relies heavily on oil that belongs solely to the people of the Niger Delta. Production and manufacturing are declining or non-existence. A key factor here is the near total absence of electricity in Nigeria. In 2025, electricity remains scarce in Nigeria and it is essentially seen as a luxury. The Power Holding Companies are grossly incompetent and the infrastructure to maintain constant power supply in Nigeria does not exist. Several homes and companies that used generators or power plants have given up. The cost of fuel to run their generators and plants have increased astronomically. Nigeria is a typical scene for survival of the fittest. Eat or be eaten! The government does not work for the people. The government is dissociated from the ordinary citizens. The politicians and the people live in parallel worlds.

Our Health

One familiar news that came up this week was Buhari and Abdulsalami as patients at a London hospital. These 2 useless former rulers in Nigeria are old and receiving treatments abroad. If you want a reminder of how useless all former Nigerian rulers are, this piece of news is it. How can you be a president in a country and you do not deem it fit to build a hospital of international standard where you, your family and other citizens can receive treatment?  I made a recent post on this topic.  How crazy, how stupid can you be not to use your position to build hospitals across the country? People will not shout tribalism if you started it in your hometown and extend it nationwide. These rulers are fools!

What Next For Nigeria? Where Do We Go From Here?

Nigeria is planning an election for 2027. Already in 2025, governance is almost at a halt. It is the 2027 elections that is on the mind of the gullible citizens as the politicians formed new fronts, now coalitions as if anything is new. In a post on this blog, I have tagged Atiku as Nigerians biggest political prostitutes based on the number of parties he had formed or joined and in 2025, he lived true to that tag. In Africa, Atiku is the greatest political prostitute ever. Now, I have lost count of how many political parties under his arms.

In 2011, I dismissed any new elections in Nigeria. In 2025, my stand is the same. Elections in Nigeria will bring more poverty, more impoverishment, lower standard of living, ever sinking value for the naira and a life-long experience of hopelessness for a population approaching or probably over 200 million people.

Nigeria jagajaga in the lyrics of Abdulkareem.

There are flashes of comfort and affluence here and there but those in my opinion are distractions.

To get a picture of Nigeria, you need to visit places where the ordinary citizens live. Live among them, experience their pain, fear and anxiety. Those who said it is fun to be in Nigeria are the rich and powerful. They also include the people Fela described as suffering and smiling. 44 sitting, 99 standing!

Is there anyone in Nigeria today who can survive on a minimum wage of N70 000 naira which is less than USD 50/ month? How can a human being live on USD 1,5 per day? In 2025, you are expected to live on 1.5 dollars or less per day.

So, where do we go from here?

This generation of people or citizens preparing for the 2027 elections are wicked, callous, and selfish. The politicians and the general citizenry alike are evil.

Nothing good will come out of those elections. I have seen Nigerian elections since 1979 and the outcomes are the same and the culmination is staring at us in the face. Why do you want to do another useless election to promote insecurity, poverty, impoverishment, sadness, madness and total citizen disorientation? Why? Why?

There was a system before the 1966 coups that put the different regions in “Nigeria” at par or even ahead of the rest of the world. It is that system, an adaption of it or an outright dissolution of Nigeria that is the way forward.

I make bold to state that there is no politician or group of politicians that can save Nigeria under a unitary system of government. It is senseless, it is barbaric, it is madness, it is unheard of. It is not the solution. It is the ONLY PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA because it gave birth to all he myriads of problems we are facing.

So, why do you, why do we want to keep doing something that has been tested since 1966 and proven to be a failure? Who can explain that to me? I am a teacher and, in my training, you are not supposed to be planning to fail. Your goal is to succeed.

2027 elections in Nigeria is an affirmation in the belief of Nigeria to stick with failure. I will never understand it now and for the rest of my life. Never!

The system of government must change or the nations or countries in Nigeria must be set free. This is the only guarantee that greatness can come to this region in the next 2 to 3 decades. The fact that the change has not even occurred means that we have one or two generations already programmed to fail through the senseless unitary system.

I hope that our children and grandchildren will prosper in the Yoruba country. I have no hope other than that.

A Rethink on British-Made Nigerian Independence. Is It Worth Celebrating?

/ Adeola / Leave a comment

A rethink on Nigeria’s independence. Is it worth celebrating?

By Adeola Aderounmu

The idea of Nigeria celebrating indpendence from the British gangsters should actually be re-considered. Is it worth celebrating in ways that glorifies the slave masters? I do not think it is worth celebrating that way, or in any other way anymore. We ought to get over the hangover of an unnecessary occurence (enslavement of our grandparents and the plundering of our resources). 64 years after the scam called independence, we the people do not still have any control over our resources and how we want to use it to improve our lives.

We need to get over the disappointments of the failures of our grandparents and parents in securing their dignity and self-preservation. Self-preservation is probably the most powerful instinct in safeguarding the existence of any (living) species. Therefore we need an affirmation that, for example, I am a Yoruba and that I existed before the British gangsters and fraudsters created a colony over my head for the pleasure of the Queen of England.

In a way, it hit me bad to see how the British colonial thugs would sit back and watch us dancing annually, laughing at us as we dance to our escape from their shackles. Sadly enough, many African countries are not even free yet. Several of them are still tied to their slave masters one way or the other. The influx of the Chinese and the continuous draining of our resources-material and human-attest to the fact that the Nigeria created by the British is far from being free and independent.

So, what the heck is the celebration for actually? Is it hard to see why Nigeria is in shackles and shambles? Is it not obvious that Nigeria will never be free? Is it hard to see that the nations within Nigeria need to be set free before we can even talk of anything close to independence?

Our days of ignorance can be overlooked. However our days of stupidity are unforgivable. There are so many traditional days and events in the nations that are entrapped in Nigeria such that  everyday could be a holiday. There are so many days in the Yoruba calender as much as there are in the Igbo calender about our original Yoruba New Year, The Igbo New Year. Our festivals abound and there are countless number of days we could set aside to honour of our deities. We cannot even exhaust all the possible things we can celebrate in our different nationalities yet we stuck as real slaves choosing to celebrate the Nigeria that was created as an entrapment by British thugs who fooled and dishonoured our grandparents.

There is a reason why the so called nonsense independence day is held high. It is not unconnected to the criminal politics and waywardness of the people who own Nigeria. Imagine how sad they will become to know that we disregard British-made Nigeria and sought our own nationalities to lift, behold and uphold. Those who spend several billions of dollars annually celebrating Nigeria’s ”independence” are happy to keep it going. They are happy the way Nigeria is today, a wretched, worn out and devastated country where poverty and penury have shred into pieces the souls of the citizens,

My personal opinion is that Nigeria should stop celebrating October 1st. What has the British-made country achieved compare to the most advanced countries in the world? A country that cannot produce electricity is celebrating independence. Independence from what? It is laughable. A country that is not navigable in and out by road network is wasting funds on celebrations. I am not going to bore you about how disgraceful it is to flaunt the Nigerian identity in some situations. It is mostly on personal levels and the achievements of mostly young people over the years that the British-made Nigeria have made global impacts. A national identity will remain a mirage and all attempts to achieve prosperity for all will never come to light in a British-made country.

In all, it is not about forgetting the efforts of those who partly set us free from the shackles of the colonial thugs. The likes of Awolowo for example, I can honour as a Yoruba man. Let the other nationalities within Nigeria lift their heroes and let us ”worship” them as we like. But not on any fake date like October 1st.

We need to stop glorifying the colonial thugs and we need to stop flaunting our inferiority complex in the name of ”independence day”. Every man was born free and that glorification of those who chose to infringe on the universal rights of others either through slavery, colonisation or outright invasion must be stopped, now!

On Yoruba Kingdom, I shall stand. I was created a Yoruba, but forced to retain a British-made Nigerian identity. I celebrate my identity. Yoruba, Omo Oduduwa.
