My Random Reflections @ 54

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.

May the truth set us free.

We Must Secure Yorubaland

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.

You Cannot ”Go-Fund” Nigeria. It’s Hopeless!

You Cannot ”Go-Fund” Nigeria

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.

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.

Nigeria’s Full Blown Terrorism

/ Adeola / Leave a comment

By Adeola Aderounmu

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.
