Five engineers who were consultants appointed by NELAN Consulting Limited to supervise the African Development Bank (AfDB)-funded Ring Road Project in Ebonyi State, travelled to Abakaliki in 2021 for a meeting convened by the Ebonyi State Government but allegedly disappeared after arriving in the state. David Umahi was the governor of Ebonyi during the time. The 5 engineers disappeared after the meeting and they were never seen again.
The cover up under David Umahi as the governor of Ebonyi State ought to be revisited ASAP. Invariably the cover up would also include the Nigerian Police, the DSS and the Ebonyi State high court. The former governor and the institutions saddled with the security of the citizens can thus be regarded as perpetrators and accomplices in the disappearance of the 5 noble engineers. No country in the world should survive this kind of atrocity. Never should the citizens allow heinous crimes to be swept under the carpet. Never!
The families of the missing engineers have not been given the answers to the question: where are our breadwinners since 2021? One can presumed that they have been murdered and David Umahi should be held accountable.
We must say the names of the engineers and we must never forget about them:
Engineer Ikechukwu Ejiofor
Engineer Samuel Aneke
Engineer Nelson Onyemeh
Engineer Ernest Edeani
Engineer Stanley Nwazulum
2026
Fast forward to 2026, David Umahi (the alleged murderer of 5 engineers in Abakaliki) is now a Minister for Works under Tinubu’s jaguda government. A female worker at the Ministry, Mary Habila, ended up dead at Umahi’s residence on June 27 2026 but her death was made public on July 10 2026. David Umahi was at home when the lady named Habila died at his residence.
We should not be arguing about this case so much. What we expect is the immediate sacking of David Umahi and his presentation at a court of law while being remanded in prison. Mr. Umahi has been talking from both sides of his mouth and we don’t really want to hear more from him. We want to try the Nigerian Police’s investigative ability and the Nigerian court process in this murder charge against David Umahi.
His stories which are all lies kept changing since the murder charge against him became public. He is not to defend himself through press conferences and press statements. Mr. Tinubu, the head of government in Nigeria, should do the needful. Sack David without delay and let the court proceedings begin.
Mind you, I am not unaware of the several criminal cases against Nigerian politicians that have been swept under the carpets over the last 50 to 60 years. I am not unaware of how useless the Nigerian government is. I am not expecting Nigeria to succeed under the present useless unitary system. Yet, a call for justice cannot escape my conscience on any matter at all. The Gbajabiamila criminal case is still fresh and pending. There are also new cases everyday of massive looting and corruption under Tinubu from using the budget to steal and outright negligence of services to citizens. These are familiar situations as far as Nigeria, a damn failed state is concerned.
To say I am unaware of the several misdemeanors under Tinubu, under Babangida, under Obasanjo, under Buhari, under Jonathan, under Yar Adua and the rest of the criminals that have ruled Nigeria, would be a fallacy. Yet, and again, we keep asking for justice. We owe ourselves such duties to humanity and to an expected sanity in public offices.
If David Umahi stays as a Minister, we can assume that Bola Tinubu is supporting the murder of Mary Habila. As far as I am concerned, only the sacking of David Umahi and his days in court can exonerate the Tinubu Jaguda government from the murder of Mary Habila
This matter won’t die. No!
A governor or minister who commits murder (or allegedly does), should never be covered by any form of f****** political immunity. David Umahi should be arrested ASAP. In general, immunity clause for criminals called politicians should be removed. You can’t kill and walk free. You should not loot and walk free. That is plain senselessness, barbaric and uncivilized!
If you are seeing this headline for the first time, you are welcome to the series which started when I clocked 36 years. It means that we near us 2 decades on this series. How time flies. I was born July 12.
I ‘ve made it a habit to reflect on Nigeria on my birthday. The publication may be a few days later like this one.
A few things crossed my mind lately and I will try to remember them.
First is the issue of the people still fighting like heroes like Nigeria can be rescued. Some people think that one good leader can steer Nigeria to greatness. It is absolute nonsense. If one man says he will bring Nigeria to glory, that man is a criminal. He is looking for his daily bread and he sees the possibilities in deceiving the people. Since 1979, I have not seen a man who could have saved Nigeria.
Shagari had no idea of leadership. He was a complete decoration and waste of resources from 1979 to 1983. Buhari was a nuisance from 1983 t0 1986, killing, maiming and stupidly rationalizing decrees and draconian rule. He made the citizens looked like slaves. From 1986 to 1993, that criminal called Babangida made sure Nigerians ate from the dustbin. From 1993 and for a short while, one useless Shonekan was appointed to rule Nigeria on an interim basis and he accepted. All that just to deny MKO his democratic mandate.
Another useless moron called Abacha ruled Nigeria until his death in 1998. Then another criminal and probably also a terror sponsor called Abdulsalami came and used military constitution to install Obasanjo as a democratic president. The elections were rigged.
Obasanjo and Atiku looted Nigeria for 8 full years, 1999 to 2003. At the end they became each other’ enemies and exposed each other’s corruption through newspaper publications. The whole world saw and read how Atiku sold Nigeria in the name of privatization. Obasanjo took the money budgeted for power infrastructure. Abacha’s lootz that were returned to Nigeria disappeared under Obasabjo, Atiku and Iweala. You think there are saints who will save Nigeria. Then you need a brain reset ASAP. Atiku is still trying to be president. If Nigeria was a country, all these people will die in prison. Atiku would not even be a free man. Today he is forming opposition. I just dey laugh.
Obasanjo installed Yar Adua in 2007.. The man died while in power and then came a drunkard called Goodluck Jonathan under whose reign money disappeared with the winds. That London court that acquitted Allisson is a junk court. Under these people, Nigeria’s money grew wings and flew all over the world, to save haven and into private pockets. Nigeria is a complete mess, a geographical expression for the winner takes it all (Emilokan syndrome).
You can search for these criminals’ names on my blog to read more about their regimes and how they destroyed Nigeria. They did not do it alone. Every regime had hundreds or thousands of accomplices who together planned how to steal, loot and get away with the loot. You will find accomplices in every government house across Nigeria. There are judges, there are ministers, local government chairmen and all sorts of people short changing the system. They can call it dividends of politics, but every 1 naira stolen in Nigeria without prosecution or any other consequences are the outcomes you see today. I will not even try to list out how religion has been used to sustain the mad politics in Nigeria.
After Jonathan came Buhari again riding on the back of promoting and sponsoring terror/terrorism in the North. Buhari wasted another 8 years doing nothing but sympathizing with terrorists who acknowledged him as their spokesman, a tag he never denied in his lifetime. How can a man who was tagged as terrorist’s spokesman be allowed to become a president. In my opinion, Buhari was a tyrant. I have stated somewhere that he was a man I could not have employed in any position outside a military establishment. He is dull, lacked intelligence and cannot carry out an administrative function, but he was president. President my foot! Nigeria remains a joke where a man without brains can become a president. What do you expect?
Now we have Tinubu since 2023. From the first day he was bundled into office, the only thing I have heard was that he would be president for 8 years. I don’t even know how a person with drug related charges would first become a governor, now president. I have no idea. But his chief of staff was also a criminal, also from America. So, you see when criminals run government and you are hopeful, it seems you are a mad person yourself.
And when I see people shouting Peter Obi, I also see mumus. This was one of the most prominent criminal Nigerians listed in the Panama papers. Obi is chasing Atiku’s records as the most prominent political prostitutes in the history of the world. Right now Atiku holds the records for the man who has switched or form more political parties than any man in human history. Obi is chasing that records.
Why are they super desperate to rule Nigeria? What I know is that everyone I have listed in this essay is a criminal. So when you are forming activists or asking people to get PVC, my question is: Who are they voting for? New criminals or old criminals? In which country? This same country I have observed at close range since 1979? Are you crazy a bit or very much.
VDM and Sowore are just jokers. VDM and Randy Peter don’t know the history of Nigeria. That I why the politicians don’t take them too seriously. They may respond to them but they know they will fade with time
If you know Gani Fawehinmi, you will understand that VDM and Peter are just creating contents. Gani gave his life to Nigeria, nothing happened! There are mighty men of valor who thought Nigeria can be saved. I can’t say that they died in vain but this generation knows nothing about Nigeria. They will learn. Sowore should know that Nigeria cannot be steer by one man. If he does not know, then his education is wasted.
In 2027, (s)elections would be arranged as I have seen since 1979 and the nonsense will continue. The EFCC will pick all of us up, one by one, they will shut us down, bit by bit. People will forget about us, like the speed of light. Why? Because it is Nigeria and you cannot change Nigeria.
The only way forward is to boycott elections, stay at home and force the disintegration of Nigeria into the different nationalities. Remove Abuja politics, send the useless politician to their origin, let them go and form their governments in their regions. Nobody said this would be easy or a piece of cake. It should be the last function of any reasonable National Assembly, to create governable nations out of this useless ungovernable Nigeria.
To think that one president in Abuja can govern Nigeria and bring good things to more 200 millions people belonging to uncountable ethnicities, speaking different languages, different cultures, values and reasoning, is just like living a stupid life. You need a brain examination.
In the days ahead, as long as Nigeria exists, the APC will use the different government institutions to frustrate different individuals and different political parties, and APC will get away with it.
In Nigeria, the ruling party is what you call the Winner Takes It All. Jonathan was weak and he feared for his life, that was why he more or less ran away. That was why mumu Buhari came to power.
There are so many thoughts on my mind. For example, the rise and rise of terrorism in Nigeria. You need to be worried about the percentage of area that terrorists now govern in Nigeria. It is substantial. You need to be worried that education is not yet free (even in public schools) while one person in Nigeria will use politics to steal 12 billion dollars, 16 billions dollars! Nigeria is a yeye country. You need to be worried about a lot of things, and you need to know that the answers are not in prayers.
In 20, 30 or 50 years from now, life may be good in Biafra. It my be good in Yoruba Country. Arewa may be free from terrorism. But the fact that these countries do not exist today, or that we have not planned for them to exist tomorrow means we may likely die in our hopelessness. Penury and poverty will take a life long ride with millions of Nigerians, more than 120 million in my last estimation, making Nigerian mass poverty one of the most tragic incident ever in human history.
You don’t have to share my opinions: we will all soon be gone from the face of the earth. It’s not a curse, it is destiny. May our children change the course of history, may they find peace and may prosperity be theirs, not in Nigeria, but in the nations stolen from their ancestors by the imperialists. May those who created Nigeria find no peace, may they not find rest and may confusion ruin their existence.
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.
Trumps’ ICE probably most dangerous terrorist organization in 2026
By Adeola Aderounmu
ICE has publicly executed 2 American citizens in the last few days and it is just January 25 in 2026.
Alex just before he was executed by the terrorist ICE organisation.
On 24th January Alex Pretti was shot to dead in public by a mob of Trump’s ICE agents. He was an ICU nurse. 37 years. A few days before, a young woman (Renee Good) was executed in her car. She was also 37 years old.
These are the public executions that we see because of the power of the mobile phones and the social media. The question is: how many other executions have taken place where there are no mobile phone recordings or social media transmission?
Is this 2026? Or is this 1934?
It is hard to believe that US citizens would allow a government to survive more than 24 hours when it is to clear that the government has become the biggest sponsor of domestic terrorism on the American soil.
US is now one of the worst countries to live in. It is now a country where remaining alive is a matter of chance. You could be stopped by an ICE agent on the order of Donald Trump and shot dead just like that! Summary execution, no trail and no justice!
We saw videos of some immigrants (joking or not) taping their American passports to their heads while they move around. Who would blame them? Imagine being shot dead before you have a time to explain yourself to Trump’s deadly terrorist organisation (aka ICE).
In my opinion, ICE is a terrorist organization. The people representing ICE meet the classification for homeland terrorists.
They are home-breed terrorists considering what they have unleashed unto the innocent citizens of American and immigrants trying to make a normal living in America.
It is not my undertaking in this blog entry to list out all the atrocities that ICE has committed under a Trump presidency. My aim here is to document that in view of what ICE has done, it qualifies to be tagged a terrorist organization. We must not allow distortion of present events and we must not allow distortion of past events.
Whatever the US citizens make of their presidency is up to them. But they should be ashamed of themselves because they live in a country that pretend to export sanity and order to other countries, yet American citizens are executed in broad day lights by American government, and streamed to the rest of the world.
Imagine what Trump or the American government would have said if BOKO HARAM carried out these executions in Nigeria? Imagine the reaction of Trump and the American government if these executions were done in any of the Middle East countries?These atrocities are condemnable in every society and in every country. No country, no government should be executing its own citizens. Government sponsored terrorism must be brought to justice anywhere in the world and the ruler or leader or president under whose watch citizens are executed OUGHT to be arrested by security forces.
Nobody should be above the law in an sane country.
I stand with Renee Good as much as I stand with Alex Pretti, even in death. I stand with their families to condemn the terrorist acts of ICE in the US. I do not stand with US citizens who make these public executions look normal. I can never stand with any form of terrorism or oppression.
I remember in Buhari’s Nigeria I wrote that we should never, never stand with tyranny. I am writing this now to all US citizens around the world, you should never, never stand with tyranny. It may come, and consume you, today or tomorrow.
If we have nothing to die for, we do not have anything to live for either. Put fear aside and stand for something..!
I woke up this morning 10 January 2025 to a tiktok post by one Chidera Precious who wants to go-fund a local hospital in her village in Abia State. She had been on holiday from the United States and her sister required medical attention after a domestic accident. It became a nightmare when they visited the hospital and the hospital asked them to go and buy practically everything that her wounded sister required.
(c) Image from Chidera Precious tiktok page
If you are interested in the entire story. You can search the name on tiktok. The comment section would also be worth reading.
My dear sister, you may have a good intention but…let me tell you the possible implications of the go-fund me. One idiot in the village may use the money to buy nice cars and a piece of land. If the fund became massive, the idiot would even build a house.
One boss at the hospital may actually buy the necessary items that you generated the funds for. But what happens when the fund is finished? Will you go-fund the hospital for life?
There are so many other things that may happen to the proceeds of the go-fund me. Let me leave that to your imaginations.
Nigeria can never be rescued with go-fund me initiatives in the field of medical facilities or health care infrastructure in general.
The good thing with this initiative is that it is focused on a village in Abia State. However, it would seem that the village is in the sky. I mean, does the village not have a local government chairman? Does the state not have a governor? The village is not existing in isolation I would presume. So, there should be some annual budget for health in Abia state. There must be budget plans for all the hospitals in all the local governments and in all in health facilities in the state. Private hospitals must have their budget plans too and their operations must be based on available of equipment and medical resources. I hope.
This village in Abia state is not alone. The entire health infrastructure in Nigeria is a complete disgrace to the intellectual well-being of the African person.
Many years ago on this blog, I suggested that there should be at least 108 functional world class general hospital in Nigeria. That is the least that Nigeria would need, in view of the ever-growing population. Dear Chidera, you cannot build 108 world class hospitals with go-fund me.
But my stance on Nigeria has changed along the line. I do not believe that Nigeria can be rescued, and I do not believe in Nigeria as a country. I have come to accept Nigeria as the business enterprise that the bastard British made it in 1914.
Therefore, my take is that the Biafra Nation or the Igbo Nation would care for the health of the people when Biafra is free. I believe that the Yoruba country would take the health of the Yoruba seriously when the Yoruba country is free. The same will be for any of the nations that are still entrapped in Nigeria, in 2026.
Someone may ask: what is the difference between the people ruling Nigeria now and those who will rule in Biafra or Yoruba countries. The difference will be huge my dear.
Nigeria is run as a business, so the idea of world class hospitals does not arise anywhere.
Biafra country, the Yoruba country, the Arewa country, the Niger Delta country would be governed as serious countries and not the business that Nigeria is. If you know the difference, you will find peace of mind and have great hopes for the unborn generations who would be beneficiaries of the potentials that are entrapped and enslaved in British-made Nigeria.
We cannot go-fund Nigeria. We need to fight for freedom. We need to set our entrapped countries free. We need to build the foundations for the children that are not born. We need to drop this hope and expectations that Nigeria will make it. We cannot wait for Nigeria to happen to us before we acquire or apply sense.
Advocating for Nigeria and hoping that Nigeria will become what we expect is no longer a dream. It has become a nightmare and the only time influential people realize this is when Nigerian suddenly happens to them. Meanwhile that is the Nigeria that we were born into, that is the only Nigeria we know, breath and sojourn daily. This Nigeria has no prospect for the unborn generations. It is based on me, myself and I. It is based on I pass my neighbour, it is based on myopic views about life.
We need to free the entrapped nations in Nigeria and that is the only way our unborn generations that compete in the world 50 years from now, 100 years from now and forver more.
We must let our stitch in time saves nine, and more.
