Sweden’s Failure At Transportation

Sweden’s Failure At Transportation

By Adeola Aderounmu

Sweden is always trying to save the rest of the world from all unpleasant situations.  There are so many adventures that Sweden have undertaken since time immemorial. I remember a damaged pipeline off the American coast or where was again, Gulf of Mexico? Sweden was the country that succeeded in stopping the leakage and ending a potential environmental disaster.   

Sweden is everywhere. She goes to Africa doing all kinds of missions. She invades the Middle East and scoop souls to save or revive. Sweden builds abroad, with very fine architectures. She exports music, Spotify, Abba, Aviciii (RIP) and so many good things of life. No doubt she brings home the rewards of plundering.

But if you live in Stockholm especially along what we call the surface train lines (pendeltåget), Sweden would have at some point made your life hell on earth. There is a dilemma on this surface train line that I have witnessed for almost 2 decades. If a problem can persist for that long, and of there is no solution in sight, the most appropriate explanation is corruption. There must be some form of massive corruption that has made it impossible for Sweden and Stockholm to end “a simple” problem she would have solved if the problem was in another country.

In the winter every year and sometimes with temperatures as low as minus 21, the Stockholm surface train could suddenly be out of service throwing many passengers into confusion.  The pain is indescribable. The frustration, the anxiety and the uncertainties that occur every winter in Stockholm with respect to the failed surface train schedules should be studied. It may be a life shortener.

Let us be clear about a great nation that Sweden is. She has the longest underground tunnel network in the world. It has been described as the longest work of art made by man. That is very commendable. The fact is the network continues to grow because more interconnections have been proposed and some are near completions. The underground blue line has been extended and will reach a new length in the nearest future. The problems with the Swedish underground trains are not severe. They are no unusual and do not take time to clear.

It is even slightly mysterious that the underground network (that is under the earth) works better and more effective the surface network that is over the earth. Could it be that more focus is placed on something that is under the earth than something that is above it? Are they trying to tell us that the surface train is more exposed to drastic changes in weather? You must wonder why Sweden can take care of the underground train network better than the surface train network.

Nevertheless, with all the knowledge, experience and technical abilities in Sweden, the surface train network remains a disturbing shame to the country. This winter 2023 December, a lot of train travel times have been cancelled. Some trains have run on shorter wagons. There have been complains about the maintenance of the tracks. That really is shocking: that the tracks are not well maintained. What is serious accidents occur? The blaming game would start. Who does not know that prevention is better than cure?

The consequences of these annual anomalies may in fact constitute serious aspects of mental health imbalance for affected people. We must see beyond the frustrations on their faces. Failed train networks do more than causing lateness to work. People also often get late to getting their wards from schools. They miss other friends and family engagements or activities. What about the financial or economic loss to the county? Individuals lose time and money. The country loses time and money. When shorter wagons run, the crowd at the stations build up. In this cold weather, that is a means to increase the spread of communicable diseases.  A substantial part of the residents fear for terror attacks too. The crowd that builds up when trains stop working or are delayed are potential spots for attacks.

My suggestion to the Swedish Transport Corporation (Stockholm Local Traffic) is that they need to sit down and look at themselves in the faces and in the mirror. They need to get this system working by taking a holistic approach to problem solving in this sector. 

The tracks must be fixed and maintained as scheduled. Ten years over the schedule time is a clear indication of being irresponsible and taking our lives for granted. There will be winter every year. So why is every winter characterized by the same problems with the trains? I do not think there are newer problems with the trains than they were 10 years ago. Winter will come, there will be snow, it will be cold. Is there anything that the Stockholm Local Traffic does not know about winter? Winter should no longer be an excuse for poor train services. This is Sweden!

What is this thing about shortage of employees? Take measures to make the job of a train driver attractive and get more people employed. There are so many unemployed people in Stockholm, so we should not be having shortage of employees at all. No, we should not.

There is the story of failure of signal. I don’t think anybody knows what that means. It has become an acronym for “out of service” if you ask me. Can you please explain “signal fel” to us so we can proffer a solution?

The bottom line is that the Stockholm Local traffic lacks pre-emptiveness and the corporation is behaving like it is doing us a favour. We are paying for this extremely poor delivery of services which is why I maintain that the underlying cause of these problems is massive corruption within the Stockholm Local Traffic.

The corruption must be addressed in order to improve services. In my end of the train line, we have a 30-minute interval to deal with. If a train is cancelled, that is minimum of one hour waiting time. The interval must be improved going forward.

I understand that politics too have a role to play in all these poor service deliveries. Talk to the concerned politicians about your needs and bring the citizens on your side to improve train services. Stop further increase in the prices of train tickets because the quality of service delivery have declined in the last 2 decades.

Don’t forget: update your tracks to prevent accidents or derailing.

One can be proud of Sweden in many ways, but in the Stockholm transport system, shame is what I feel. Fear is what I breathe when expecting visitors and never knowing if they will arrive or travel back in peace.

Sweden is everywhere. But I don’t see Sweden in the Stockholm Local Traffic.

Living In Denial (2): The Absence Of Truth

By Adeola Aderounmu

Look at the headline of this Vanguard Newspaper dated October 21, 2023. I did not read the content. If you have time, you could read it. The headline is enough for me to know that stupidity is dangerously widely spread in Nigeria

I have no idea that a country called Nigeria is still fighting corruption. Really? Are you mad?

I don’t even know where to start my analyses. I don’t even know what to write. Nigeria is fighting corruption? Which Nigeria?

If Nigeria is fighting corruption, there will be no government in Nigeria. Tinubu would be in prison by now for all the forgeries and several other offences he has committed in Nigeria and abroad. Atiku and Obasanjo would still be eating beans in Kirikiri for that 8 years of looting and destruction of lives and property.

APC, PDP and Labour Party would not be in existence if Nigeria is fighting corruption and more than 99% of the politicians and a large chunk of the key players in both private and public institutions would be in prison or exile.

The criminals are even planning to buy or they may have even bought SUVs. If this was another country, it would have been ungovernable by now because the common, hungry, homeless, jobless, noble people (some of whom are working hard but living in poverty) would have stormed the streets and earned their freedom. In a country where the above can happen, it only means the rest of the populations are slaves.

What kind of foolish headline is that ni to ri Olohun?

Please o, Vanguard, stop that type of headline. You can write about what is going on in Nigeria and anywhere in the world. But please stop using Nigeria and “fight corruption” in the same sentence. Just stop it!

Nigeria itself is “corruption” founded by some British gangsters for the orgy of the Royals in Britain. The expired colony is now sustained by the erections of the political thieves and elites in Nigeria. The only legitimate fight is to dismantle the corrupt entity and allow the entrapped Nations like Biafra and Yoruba Kingdom to find their way out and pursue peace, harmony and progress in their respective nationalities.

Back soon!

Tinubu’s Jaguda Govt

Tinubu’s Jaguda Govt

Tinubu is wayward. Otherwise he would control the number of vehicles in his convoy.

By Adeola Aderounmu

If you want to change the world for better, if you want to change your nation so she moves forward, if you want to change the society you live in so that it becomes a better place for you and your children, then look in the mirror and be that change you wished to see.

In this Tinubu’s government (one whose legitimacy is still being contested by one Peter Obi), one would expect that perhaps money would be saved at all fronts so that common good can be enhanced. But I have heard about politicians in this Tinubu jaguda government employing tens and several tens of personal assistants.

I live in a country where personal assistants are employed, mostly temporarily, for people with disabilities or people with challenging intellectual functions.

The first thing that came to my mind is that crazy people are all over the place in Tinubu’s government.

As a politician, the only reason to employ a personal assistant is to show that that you are intellectually deficient and cognitively incapable on your own. Otherwise you need a secretary (if you have a big office to run) and in a worst case scenario, one assistant to help organise things that the secretary (if you have one) cannot handle.

Ordinary legislators and ordinary lawmakers will be employing several tens of assistants. Why? I mean, where does the money for their salaries come from? Over the years Nigerian politicians have become notorious for over-hyped wages as the rest of the populations wallow in abject penury (and Nigeria still the champion as the poverty capital of the world).

The first adjustment that the Tinubu-Shettima jaguda government ought to do was to cut off all wastages. This jaguda government needed to sit down and reshape the political map of Nigeria. There is no way a unitary system of government is going to benefit more than 200 million people. To think that a unitary system of government is fine, and to even work by it is simply an act of madness.

So, there are pressing political and economic issues to be straightened out. It it is sad to be bombarded with the news of thousands of special aides and special assistants all over the country. Are you people in Tinubu’s jaguda government completely insane? How can you run a country on life-supporting machines called personal aides. Ori yin ti da ru o..!

I have seen some stupid excuse to even justify the over 100 vehicles in Tinubu’s lagos convoy. Are you mad? Tinubu is wayward. Otherwise he can control the number of vehicles in his convoy. It is called decorum or common sense. Go your way, and let the other owambe convoys go their way. Must they be at the aiport to follow? Please, stop motivating madness. Stop being stupid. Just shut up!

Tinubu was not ready for the presidency that he wrestled from INEC at all cost. If he was ready, his cabinet would have been announced the day after his inauguration. Nigeria’s politics is not just a joke, it is a mad joke! As an opposition, it is required to always have a shadow government on stand-by during campaign and elections. This is with a readiness to take over the government even before elections should in case the incumbent government stepped aside.

Personally, I thought Tinubu was exposed having studied and lived in the US. But one more time, we have a “president” who is acting like a dumb ass. In what age, in what year will an opposition in Nigeria have a shadow government in place even if there are no campaigns and no elections?

Ask Labour Party. Ask the PDP for the names or the lists of their cabinets. Be sure that there are no lists, be sure that there are no shadow government in any Nigerian opposition party at this moment. You still think Nigeria is practicing democracy? Are you sure you don’t want to examine your thinking faculties?

Nigeria is not yet a country. It is still a company where the winner takes it all and does what it likes.

I thought Tinubu’s jaguda government would come with something different from day one. It didn’t. I can predict what the excuse for failure would be. PDP ruled Nigeria for 16 useless years. Buhari’s APC ruled Nigeria for another 8 senseless years. It’s been 24 years of total madness, corruption, murders, lying, suffering, hunger, poverty and terrorism. Say this post and quote this: It is not easy to clean or repair the maladministration of 24 solids years. This is be the slogan of the Tinubu jaguda’s government.

To be sure, since the colonial thugs from Britain left (?) in 1960, Nigeria has mostly been in the hands of tropical gangsters in khaki and agbada alike. If you have hope in Nigeria. I understand your hope, but I do not share it. Whichever, we are all on a long thing.

May the wind be our way.

Malami: The Rise Of Evil (Again?)

/ Adeola / Leave a comment

Malami has no sense at all. I doubt he is a lawyer. You have to be a hardcore criminal to have done what he did or say the things credited to him in recent days. You have to be EVIL, have terrorist/dictatorship tendencies and be extremely unintelligent.

Malami: The Rise Of Evil (Again?)

By Adeola Aderounmu

If you follow Nigerian news/events/politics over the years, you cannot miss our struggle with people who are outrightly evil and dangerous. In recent days/months, a few men have been very, very prominent in the sustenance of evil in Nigeria. I am sure you know how Lie (Lai) Mohammed have been vocal as the propaganda numero of the terrorist-inclined APC government in Nigeria. If you forget everything, you cannot forget the news that made global headlines when Lie Mohammed and Buhari stated that Boko Haram had been defeated and subdued in december 2015. Today, in 2021 Boko Haram is one of the most dangerous terrorist organisations in the world. You must know that the ONLY reason anybody or any government can remain in power after such propaganda is that the country they governed is a failed country or a barbaric banana republic. You cannot get away with such nonsense is a normal, civilised society/country. With all the deaths that have been attributed to terrorism and kidnapping in Nigeria, the possibility of the government remaining in power is the same: a failed country or a reckless, barbaric banana republic.

Criminally minded and dictatorship inclined Malami

One man that has emerged under the prevalent rise of evil in Nigeria is Malami. I have no intention to look into his past. For me, this is a name that is new, unknown and out of te blues. Malami to me is like Pantami- a known terrorist serving as Nigeria’s Minister of Communication. They had been known in the North or in the background I guess but they fit perfectly well into the terrorist agenda of the APC government.

Malami is supposed to be a lawyer but my personal observations in recent days show that investigative journalists need to look into his background. I am not convinced that he is a lawyer or that he became a lawyer through knowledge acquisition. Sahara Reporters have exposed him in several stories. He is a criminal who has stolen a lot of money to build personal empire in the North of Nigeria. His wages as the attorney general of failed Nigeria cannot back up the wealth and property he owns. Those who are interested in the story should look it up on Sahara Reporters.

Malami lied, used VPN, trades in cyrptocurrencies and has stolen monies from the treasury. No one has asked him where Ibori’s latest loots have landed. We can even allege (until proven otherwise) that he is trading Ibori’s loot in ctyptocurrency markets.

Malami is evil, probably a fake lawyer. No right thinking or normal lawyer can threaten the citizens of any country with imprisonments based on laws that do not exist. There was a report in the people’s gazette that Malami wanted ”Buhari”/APC government to initiate a form of military rule because the useless government promoted terrorism and lost control of the security situation of the failed country. A right thinking person would have resigned from a failed government and advice the useless government to throw in the towel. Whoever the Buhari in Aso rock is has failed. Whoever is in control of the APC government has failed. APC itself as a criminal / terror organisation has failed. Even if APC insist that it is a political organisation, it has also failed. There is no known status or description that APC can acquire that will potray success. It failed and will never make it, no matter what.

In 2015, we knew tha problems with PDP and the hope was that APC knew the problem and would fix it. In 2021, we know better that APC = PDP and perhaps worse. You can read elsewhere on my blog why APC = PDP. A very quick reminder is to look at the party that key politicians belong to over the past 10 – 15 years. They have moved round enough to eradicate any line of ideological differences that may exist. Similarly, Jonathan has worked more for APC than he did as PDP president.

So, we are here at a point where the mad men and crazy women in APC say they have banned Twitter in Nigeria. These useless human beings came to power using the power and might of the social media. When Malami disabled his twitter, he had to use VPN to log in. Invariably he fell for the non-existent criminal law that he made to prosecute others. This means that Malami has no sense at all. This is why I doubt he is a lawyer. You have to be a hardcore criminal to have done what he did or said in recent days. You have to be evil, have terrorist tendencies and unintelligent.

There are also indications that the idiot is trading in crypto-currencies as he forgot to take off the icon when he shared a screenshot of his disabled twitter account. Like i mentioned earlier, if Nigeria was not a failed country, APC will not be in existence. A person like Malami should be in prison by now. He lied, he used VPN, he trades in crytptocurrency and he has stolen monies from the treasuries. As we write, no one has asked Malami where Ibori’s loots have landed. We can therefore allege (until preven otherwise) that he is trading Ibori’s loot in crytocurrency markets.

In the past, I have written about different kinds of rise of evil in Nigeria. That this cycle repeats itself several times under one generation is remarkable. People like Malami, criminals like Malami enjoy a free ride right on the faces of the citizens. Nigeria, a failed country, is a very remarkable place to live in. For me, Nigeria is the most useless country in the world. Gani Fawehinmi spent his lifetime, gave his life to prevent this type of existence. He was systematically killed by the system and his tormentors like Babangida, one of the evil men who rose in Nigeria, is still there.

In many essays like this, i have stated that the type of government in Nigeria should not last 1 day longer. But since 1999, we see the same type of madness, craziness, lawlessness and absolute absurdities where more than 150 million people, afraid to die, yet dying daily for various reasons, have refused to take a final stand and say ENOUGH.

Men like Malami, Lie Mohammed, ”Buhari”, and the rest of them in APC or PDP: People who have reduced Nigeria to a banana republic should not be allowed to live in the open society. They should be rounded up in a common people revolution and sent to prison or exile. The cost of freedom, the price of liberty must come also at great sacrifices. In order for the future to be great for the unborn generations, the cost of freedom cannot be calculated before freedom. It will be done after freedom and liberty.

Finally, i have a message for those still trying to save Nigeria. No mater how slow, no matter how long, Nigeria is going to disappear from the map. There are no known forces on earth that have succeeded in stopping the ideas whose time have come. Oduduwa/Yoruba Nation WILL EMERGE from the old Western Region. Biafra will emerge from the old Eastern Region. The choices will be clear to those whom history would place the burden on their shoulders. It would be clear and Nigeria will end.

The generations that would accomplish the mission have my best wishes in advance. When they read this, I hope they send a blessing to my home or my grave.

May Olodumare bless our souls.

2020 Nigeria: Confined In Corruption And Poverty

/ Adeola / 1 Comment

Nigeria must be dismantled, totally. Nigeria must end for the nations entrapped within it to emerge and begin afresh. It is only competition between the different regions or nations within Nigeria that can reduce corruption and eradicate poverty

2020 Nigeria: Confined In Corruption And Poverty

Adeola Aderounmu

This is the 27th day of July, 2020 and Nigeria as it stands is still being ruled by hardcore criminals and gangsters spread across 2 criminal organisations called APC and PDP.

The central government is headed by APC headed by a criminal called Muhammadu Buhari.

For those who are not used to the useless form of democracy in Nigeria, a quick recap is that Nigeria left military rule in 1999 and civilians took over. From 1999 to 2015, a criminal organisation called PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) led the Nigerian government and what followed was massive corruption as usual and extreme spread of poverty and hopelessness. In 2015, Nigerians thought a change had come and voted for another criminal organisation called APC (All Progressive Congress).

(Note: for details of Nigeria´s political history, please look elsewhere).

In this month of  July alone, the entire world has been watching the drama unfolding in one of the several corrupt government institutions in Nigeria, the NDDC. I am not able to provide the details of what has transpired, sadly.

My take is that the problem is not just the NDDC. Everything about governance in Nigeria is wrong and crazy.

The NDDC has always been corrupt. The NDDC will always be corrupt. Check out NNPC too. Check out INEC, NEPA, the National Assembly, the Legislative arm, the Judiciary, the states and the governors, the Executives (presidency and ministers), state commissioners and everywhere and everything about government in Nigeria. What you see is different aggregation of criminals and criminal minds in public offices.

Corruption is not limited to public institutions in Nigeria. The private sector is also ripping Nigeria and Nigerians into pieces. You can start from the TELECOMS for a preview. They will milk poor Nigerians to starvation and deaths.

Nigeria is corruption personified. It is a country confined in a systemic culture of corruption.  For the past 2 decades, this has been my theme on my essays, articles and blog entries.

More than 30 years ago, there was an article in one of Nigeria´s newspaper raising a question about the common man in Nigeria and his survival based on his meagre wage. The writer concluded that it was just impossible to live on such a wage. Today, the common man in Nigeria earns comparatively less (in dollar rate). How does anyone in Nigeria live on N30 000 minimum wage monthly? How is that possible? I should address this in another article.

Specifically Nigerian politicians from all across Nigeria are mentally deranged, have low cerebral functions, are grossly incompetent, possess unbelievable, insatiable lusts for material possessions. Their collective stupidity and ineptitude continues to confine Nigeria to the league of poor countries, poor citizens and poverty-plagued existence not worthy of lower animals.

My aim today is to remind you as l have done in almost 2 decades that the person called the president of Nigeria is Buhari and he is leading probably the most corrupt government ever in Africa´s history. Like l always write, l thought Jonathan and the PDP gang would be the worst we had seen at the end of 2015. But this criminal called Buhari and the APC crew blew my mind away with the latest dimension of corruption in Nigeria since 2015.

The most annoying thing about this is the different nations enslaved in Nigeria, taking turns in different capacities and contributing to the ruins. I have mentioned names in many articles and it is becoming old fashioned. Still, take a little time and follow criminals like Akpabio and Oshiomhole if you want to have an idea of the problems. Then take time to follow all the politicians that are prominent, write their names and add corruption in a google search.

Buhari himself started stealing before 1977 but in 1977 he made it official as a minister of petroleum. Do you know how many years that is, from 1977 to 2020, that Buhari has had his hands in Nigeria´s public treasury?

Those aso rock dogs called special assistants or media assistants for things and nonsenses are just looking after their daily bread. Femi Adesina comes to mind. This is another criminal mind. When this is over, he would follow the lines of Segun Adeniyi and Reuben Abati in writing some stupid books or memos. Yorubas called such people didinrins.

Nigeria must be dismantled, totally. Nigeria must end for the nations entrapped within it to emerge and begin afresh. It is only competition between the different regions or nations within Nigeria that can reduce corruption and eradicate poverty.

The Yorubas  and the Ibos especially are very unfortunate to be clumped with the rest of Nigeria. These are ethnic groups that can survive on their own and rule the world in all ramifications. The Niger Delta would have toed the same line of progress and prosperity.

The North is lazy, but it would have emerged based on the competition from the other regions around or close to it.

Together in Nigeria, all these nations remain slaves to the colonial masters and the dumb ass politicians and elites who remain the most formidable criminal organisation in Africa. This is the bane of Nigeria.

These are some of the problems facing Nigeria. As it stands, like l always write, Nigeria will never, never make it under the present criminal political arrangement. Let me tell you, there will always be people and organisations that will prosper under the situation in Nigeria. You will be stupid to use your personal progress as a measure of the workability of Nigeria, a rotten country with a despicable high morality rate.

I don´t even want to remind you of the other things that make Nigerians less human. I don´t even want to start with our ladies who don´t know that they are mentally deranged with all the nonsense wigs on their heads. Our boys have all taken to rituals and cultism. Terrorists are made locally and internationally and dumped across the area called Nigeria. What is left of being African? What is left of being a Yoruba? Ibo? Kanuri? Bini?

Africa is long gone and the nations that should help rebuild are fading away not just because of poverty and corruption but also as a result of the total destruction of the cultural heritage of motherland-Africa.

Specifically Nigerian politicians from all across Nigeria are mentally deranged, have low cerebral functions, are grossly incompetent, possess unbelievable, insatiable lusts for material possessions. Their collective stupidity and ineptitude continues to confine Nigeria to the league of poor countries, poor citizens and poverty-plagued existence not worthy of lower animals.
