The month of march 2025 has been a remarkable month in Bongo-Nigeria. There has been a back and forth laceration, mostly online, between those who criticized and those who support the useless and terrible government in Nigeria under the rulership of one Ahmed Tinubu, a man whose real names and identity are unclear.

I am Yoruba and if you think that I am behind any form of criminality or unclear personality, then you are probably crazy or out of your mind. I do not confuse Yorubaness with criminality or stupidity. There is no Nigerian politician that has won my heart in terms of service, decidation and selflessness.

My arguments on this blog have moved beyond sustaining Nigeria so I almost have no sympathy left for the agitations of the Nigerian. If I had a choice, I would be carrying a Yoruba Republic passport and would lay down my life for the Yoruba race, for the unborn generations so that they don´t get wasted like us, our parents and grandparents. Nigeria is not really my business nowadays.

A lot of people are complaining about Nigeria, as if things will get better. Is Nigeria the country of your dream? How old are you now and what do you know about the fraud called Nigeria? Do you know the meaning of life? Do you know what it means to live and let live?

The youthcorper girl may think she was making honest remarks about Tinubu and Nigeria but the matter is beyond all of that. Such a street-wise girl should be in her region contributing to the development of her people and her community. If she was in Lagos as an expatriate or for a business trip (in my fantasy Yoruba Republic), she would only need to do her business and go back to develop her state. She would not have any reason to call the president of a Yoruba country a terrible president. (We would do that ourselves and probably the gods would have used thunder to deal with him even before he becomes a terrible person).

Nobody can fight for and liberate Nigeria (as long as Nigeria is still one country created for the pleasure of the Queen of England). Nigeria which means nothing to the Youth corper or to any of us for that matter is not worth fighting for. It is only worth getting liberated from.

What is worth fighting for, worth living for and worth dying for, is the freedom of all the nations that are enslaved within the British colony called Nigeria. In private communications and severally on my blog (which is probably the oldest individual blog in Africa), my take is that Nigeria will NEVER get better to such an extent that an ordinary citizen would live a good life in it.

Nigeria as a “collection” of several nations is not sustainable. The amalgamation of Nigeria was done to establish Nigeria as a business enterprise, and not a country. The name Nigeria was probably coined by a mistress to one gangster called Lugard.

Little wonder history was removed from the educational curriculum in Nigeria. The politicians are oppressors who have taken the ways of the colonialists and descended it on a real hell called Nigeria.

If there was a return to the regional governments or totally independent nations of Yoruba Kingdom, Biafra/Igbo Nation, Delta South and Arewa North, by now, we would all be making progress and competing again on all fronts: science, medicine, sport, infrastructure, healthcare, music, housing and clean environments. These are the issues that our struggles ought to revolve around.

The government is terrible, we the people are more terrible. We will never speak with one voice, yet we do not agree to go our different ways and develop our communities and our regions. I see and hear how Yoruba have been defending their terrible Tinubu (a man whose real identity, origin and age are still unknown).

There is so much to say and so many points of views. It is more than time to end Nigeria for good, Those supporting the criminals in government since 1960 and those opposing them will line up like zombies in 2027, they will repeat history, call it election, and expect different outcomes. You cannot convince me that we don´t have collective dementia in this enclave called Nigeria. it´s been a cycle of idiocy telling ourselves that we have political parties representing us. What we have are opportunists (you and I) waiting for our time to capture some political offices and steal money. It´s a general mad situations.

Historically, “Nigeria” under independent regional government was one of the best places to live in the world. The different regions within Nigeria were pacing to “global peak” because of the competitions between the regions. They tried to outdo one another in several aspects of life and only became a country mostly in sports as team members were picked or selected on merits from the different parts of the land.

Fast forward to post civil war Nigeria, what exists today is a bloodsucker country. There are no level playing fields. All politicians are criminals. All the religious citizens are hypocrites. The same people who go to mosques and churches daily are the same people perpetrating all the hates and wickedness across land. There is no strength in our diversity, we hate and kill.

How do you even want to start governing Nigeria? A cattle rearer would move his cows into all the farmlands on his way from the North to the south. How do you talk to someone who does not understand you, your language, your culture, your heritage and your ways of life? How can people who have nothing in common claim to be citizens of the same country? How can you come from the same country when you cannot live freely across it? The insanity across the land is profoundly indescribable. We are living a lie. We are living in denial. We are not one people, we will never be.

Those who capturte the center steal, loot, merry, cart away and then die (the part they forgot exist). Their accomplices, their children and their heir apparent would carry on the same shit. The rest, more than 200 million people, would be shouting one Nigeria but never experiencing the true meaning of life. They live predominantly in a blackout country having no electricity, no good roads and managing decaying or non-existent infrastructure. What kind of country is that?

I could go one. Indeed, Tinubu is a terrible person, so was Jonathan, Obasanjo, Atiku, Babangida, Buhari, Shagari, Abacha, Sonekan, all the past governors, all the present governors, all the sexists in the senate like Akpabio; have you forgotten one David Mark, a Bankole? They are all terrible, they are all criminals!

Their types will continue to exist and dominate until you sit at home during the next election and force the disintegration of Nigeria into the different regions. This would not even be the EUREKA. It is not the final solution. But it may serve as a step in the direction that may give hope to the next generation.

The emergence of the regions would give positive outcomes in 2 or 3 decades. To have not even started the journey and hoping that the price of garri would come down tomorrow is pure madness! How would Lagos not smell when the youth corper and her types across Nigeria flood to Lagos for the “goodlife”? What happened to developing business, social life, infrastructure and better life across all the nations that that entrapped in Nigeria? We knew that the population in Lagos is over exploded with many more tropping in on the limited infrastructure on ground. If we all go back to our independent countries and leave Yoruba Republic alone, maybe Yorubaland will stop smelling.

Nothing is going to get cheaper in Nigeria, a consuming economy. It is a rat race and it is the classical survival of the fittest environment. You adapt and survive or you go through life in the most worthless way. Nigeria does not care about you!

You should care about those whose life may also be wasted like yours and mine, you should care about your children and unborn generations. There are no immediate fix to any problem you see. No problem is fixable in Nigeria. But all the problems can be fixed if we go our separate ways and talk to those who understand our respective languages, those we share culture, customs and tradtion with. We need to sit down in our respective lands that our ancestors left to use and find a way to prepare the future for our coming generations.

No matter how much you wish for, or complain in a British colony called Nigeria, it will never get better. I have been hearing and engaging in this type of discussions since 1979, and this is 2025, nothing has improved. You have zero chance in Nigeria but you have all the world to prepare for in your country, the one the imperialists and the colonialists stole from you. It is there you have hope. It is there your children will find peace and prosperity.
