Although this espousal has come with various titles, it is basically the same ‘one’ and ‘toro’!
Since July 13, 2020 when the 11th espousal on the current Nigerian tragedy, particularly the grave threat to national security, the looming famine beyond Biblical proportion, population explosion, intractable flooding, plight of the IDPs, the tragedy that is the children of Allah (the Almajirai), rape, youth violence, the danger of having kingdoms in kingdoms, terrorism, etc, JOHN ODEY ADUMA has been hibernating and incubating for ideas at his incubation/philosophical laboratory, and the result of that withdrawal from the crowd in search of the deeper things and meanings of life is what will be cascading from his intellectual Niagara Falls, and you would do well to enmesh/soak/saturate yourself in the falls.
And worried by the current state of reportage in the nations of the world, particularly in Nigeria, totally lacking in depth and investigation coupled with the usual resort and retreat to kinship or clannish journalism, the non-existent anonymous “authoritative source/s”, Aduma, whilst at the Daily Times of Nigeria Plc as its Editorial Board Chairman, had had to intervene to refocus the dumbing down of professionalism by propounding a theory he had then called Pyramidal or Tripodal or Triangular Criticism or Analysis, and in this series, you are going to read his latest media theories – The John Aduma Newsroom Boxes, the Dodecagonium; including political theories such as OMU, Nigerianistic Equality for the self-same reason, aimed at journalistic excellence and international best practice and in the furtherance of his vision of Nigerianism, Nigeriatopia and Nigerian exceptionalism.
You are, therefore, welcome to read, drink, soak yourself therein, debate, dissect and analyse, chew it, swallow it up, and become wiser and reflective, but you are not to plagiarise, copy and paste to claim its ownership, nor regurgitate it, nor lift up ideas from this treatise, interview your usual captive interviewees and turn round to attribute my ideas to them, giving the global audience the wrong impression that these ideas of mine were those of these your captive interviewees. You should therefore give credit to the author if you must refer to, quote from it or you are fascinated by any word, phrase/s or idea, and failing will this time round lead to litigation.
As a teenager at Aladura Comprehensive High School, Anthony Village, Lagos, the age that the G-IBB have chosen to join cultism and youth gang, it was Aduma’s dream to propound theories, be the most quoted intellectual on the planet earth and the greatest theorist and philosopher ever. And regarding that boyish dream, he is today widely quoted in academic journals and scholarly theses across the globe.
No doubt, you are already salivating and don’t want any further ‘traffic’ from the author on your way to his fountain of wisdom and knowledge, but before you are set loose, Mr Aduma ‘d like to ask you these questions: what is your dream?
Just what are your life’s dreams and goals?

Muhammadu Buhari - Nigeria’s tired and spent horse - tired, thoroughly spent and finished! Go rest, Mallam, Mallam, go rest. But where now are those who brought this dead horse to the House of Nigeria?

THE HORROR OF MUHAMMADU BUHARI’S SIX WASTED YEARS:
By: Don Okereke, Security Analyst/Consultant
Preamble:
At the risk of painting a gloomy picture, I dare submit that the tempo of social tension, political entropy, armed conflict, wanton bloodletting, ungoverned spaces, and the centrifugal forces at play in Nigeria is to say the least, ramping up every day and very disturbing. Not to be outdone, Nigeria is increasingly ticking all the right boxes of a fragile state and upping the misery index. To be sure, Nigeria increased from 94.4 index in 2006 to 97.27 index in 2020. Lest I forget, it's not all gloomy, Nigeria constructed a $1.95 billion railway from Kano state into Maradi, Niger Republic. Nigeria's Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi confirmed that he personally begged the Republic of Niger to allow Nigeria to link them with the railway. Moving on…Aforesaid upshots in Nigeria are fueled by widening gap in social cohesion, entrenched marginalization, patent nepotism, corruption, inequality, injustice, uncurbed proliferation of small arms and light weapons (SALW) and attendant quest for the Balkanization of the country by sundry self-determination groups. In the southwest, the herdsmen-farmers miasma has been heightened by a blustering quest for Oduduwa Republic championed by Chief Sunday Adeyemo (aka Sunday Igboho), his enfant terrible spokesman, Mr. Olayomi Koiki et al. As part of efforts to actualize Oduduwa Republic, agitators recently launched a security outfit - Oduduwa Nation Security Force, code-named “Operation Paramole’’ in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. Some stakeholders and analysts say the ongoing violence in Nigeria is a preamble to the 2023 general election. Thrown into the mix is a disturbing trend in non-state actors brazenly attacking police officers, government security agents and carting away their weapons. No part of the country is off-limits to criminal activities. Abuja, the capital of Nigeria is been encircled by bandits, and tenably Boko Haram elements. Premium Times reports that Pegi community in Kuje area council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, is fast becoming a kidnapper’s den despite housing two government security facilities - the Navy and the police. Community leaders say at least 30 persons had been kidnapped in the area in the last two years and about N50 million paid as ransom. Writing in his column – Pendulum - on THISDAY Newspaper, Dele Momodu’s essay titled, ‘Who Shall Tell the President Nigeria is Dying?’ captures events playing out in Nigeria. In the words of Momodu, ‘’The symptoms of a failed nation are just too palpable to be missed or ignored by a reasonable people. If nobody has yet told the President, then he must hear this somehow. Our security situation is more than dire and grim. It is now catastrophic. Nigerians are now being killed, kidnapped and raped in places that used to know only peace’’. Ironically, while the United Kingdom expresses grave concern over what it described as the ‘deteriorating security situation in Nigeria’, President Buhari is vested, promises helping Niger Republic, and other neighbouring countries to rein in terrorism, insecurity.

Symbol of Sankonfa – A mythical bird in Akan folklore.
“Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike at him as hard as you can and as soon as you can, and keep moving on.” – Ulysses S. Grant during the Tennessee River Campaign in 1862. Quoted in J., Thompson Call to Arms: Great Military Speeches From Ancient Greece To the Modern World.
(PART 14): Porous borders and national security in times of national emergency and unparalleled adversity
In this series:
In the same palace of the reigning Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’adu Abubakar IV, whilst opulence and grandeur are on display 24/7 inside, poverty crows, crows, crows, cries, cries, cries, weeps, weeps, weeps and weeps unheeded and inconsolably. If poverty in the North can be eradicated, it ‘ll only be with Sada leading the war against the endemic poverty in the North. Whilst the entire human community will hold the Sultan responsible for his DO-NOTHINGNESS about the seeming incurable poverty and the unparalleled level of UNDER DEVELOPMENT in the North, Allah will judge this our Brigadier-General-Sultan very harshly and throw him into hell fire!
TROUBLE AHEAD: THE DANGER OF HAVING A KINGDOM IN A KINGDOM - IS NIGERIA NOW INDEED A SHARIA OR AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY?
“Better never trouble, trouble,
Until trouble troubles you.
For you’re sure to make your trouble,
Double trouble when you do.
And your trouble, like a bubble,
That you’re troubling about,
May be nothing but a cipher,
With the rim rubbed out.”
NIGERIA’S NEW MOTTO: DISUNITY AND FAITHLESSNESS, WAR AND RETROGRESSION…FORWARD NEVER AND BACKWARD EVER!
Mohammed Abubakar Bambado, the Sarkin Fulani of Lagos and Chairman of the Association of Fulani Chiefs in the WESTLAND.

THE PHILISTINE ARE ALL OVER YOU SW – JUDGES 13-16!
The Midianites, the Amalekites and all the other eastern peoples had settled in the valley, thick as locusts. Their camels could no more be counted than the sand on the seashore.
THE BIBLICAL AND HISTORICAL PARALLEL IN THE PRESENT -DAY NATIONWIDE INVASION AND SUBSEQUENT CONQUEST OF NIGERIA BY THE FULANIS
Before the recent stealing of Oba Rilwan Akiolu’s staff of office, which in a traditional African society signified the end of his reign as Eleko of Eko, I have for years been telling Kabiyesi to “KEEP SLEEPING…Oba Akiolu should keep sleeping because he already had a fierce competitor/s, predicting the installation of the Emir of Lagos, which is already creeping in and disguising as the Sarkin of Lagos, which in just a matter of time will metamorphose to the Grand Emir of South West, many short-sighted Nigerians thought I was just being funny.
Currently basking in the eurofia – apologies to Sani Abacha (euphoria) of your second or triumphant entry or ‘resurrection’ into Iga Idunganran, Kabiyesi Akiolu, what will happen when MAB will be upgraded to the EMIR of Lagos FOR THE FULANIS?
As an African, my utmost and unqualified respect for all the monarchs in the Southwest, but because of the “fierce urgency of now”, by their kind permission severally, I dare warn here that they all sit up and fight back as the whole of SW is besieged, overwhelmed, and probably taken or perish like fools…the colours of Sharia and Echoes of Ilorin…
All the Yoruba Obas must as a matter of utmost urgency embark on history lessons regarding Ilorin, and the decades of the battle for the soul of Jos, resulting in the creation of Jos North Local Government Council by a frontline Fulanist/Hausaite, Ibrahim Gbadamosi Bababangida, courtesy of Decree 2 of 1991; having an emir to wit – the emir of Kanam, including of course, the ongoing contention for the ownership of Jos amongst the Biroms, Anagutas, Jarawas and the Hausas (Jasawas). Whilst it can be reasoned rhetorically that isn’t there currently a similar tussle ongoing amongst the Edos (Binis), the Yorubas, the Aworis, Ndigbos, etc, as to who owns Lagos(?), in the case of the former, the battle has been quite bloody, but the latter’s case has been mere jaw-jaw.
Can it therefore, be said that “the lines” of migration argument can be brought to bear by the Fulanis and the Hausas sometime in the future to claim ownership of Lagos to justify traditional titles such as Sarkin, Ardo and Emir of Lagos, in addition to the extant argument that Lagos being a former capital of Nigeria is a Federal Territory/Zone, so must be administered with a mayor instead of a State Governor, coupled with the fact, that Lagos is a no man’s land, hence belongs to every Lagos resident, whether such a person is a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria or a foreigner – naturalised or just a resident/settler?
But is Jos too, a NO MAN’S LAND?
COLOURS OF JIHAD
See, I have told you ahead of time.
On the colours of Islamism, because I have written and written very copiously about it in the last three decades, warning all Nigerians to sit up, I shall here only adumbrate my points by summarising the various levels that they do exist and operate which have in fact, been ongoing since 1804:
and the Niger Deltans, comprising all the SS minorities were deceived the war was to keep Nigeria one, when in fact, to the Fulanis, it was a jihad! All non-Fulani/Hausa/Kanuri/Shuwa Arabs that went into that war did that foolishly without a deal and negotiation, the folly of which has been continued under the current Bola Ahmed Tinubu/Yoruba – Fulani Alliance.
Please refer to ZABARMARI MASSACRE OF FARMERS: Dozens of farm workers killed in 'insane' Nigeria attack - BBC News, Accessed 20/12/2020.
And it is my very strong warning that GEJ MUST not, repeat, MUST not eat their forbidden apple. Also, will a non-Fulani/Hausa/Kanuri/Shuwa Arab be allowed to fight terror, banditry, rapists, killer shepherds, kidnappers/abductors? Just as it happened during the era of GEJ, by the time a shot is fired in the direction of these monsters, they will arise cicada-like voices from the North, screaming out: “ethnic cleansing”(!), and woe betides such a President, if an Igbo, they will start saying he is on a revenge mission to avenge the “rematch” of July 29 1966, and preparing the ground for another war which will this time round end in secession.
Meanwhile, I must here repeat that to prevent the impending cultural clashes nationwide, all State Assemblies must as a matter of utmost urgency enact a law to forbid the idea of having kingdoms in a kingdom or having an emirate within a cultural kingdom, banning all such potentially inflammable misadventures and experiments as Sarkin of Lagos for the Fulanis, Sarkin of Lagos for the Hausas, Eze Ndigbo of Lagos, Eze Ndigbo of Kano, Sarkin Fulani of Benin, etc, and revert to the old order of having towns unions with Secretaries-General or Chairmen/Chairpersons as leaders, as reiterating here again, under the Amalgamation, only the political was federated and not the cultural and the social!
God bless all our State Legislators as they meet this “fierce urgency of now” with and an equally fierce and urgent action as having kingdoms in a kingdom is potentially dangerous and explosive.
THE REVIVAL OF THE FULANI EMPIRE IN NIGERIA - AGGRESSIVE AND FIERCE TERRITORIAL EXPANSION VIA POCKETS OF KINGS IN OTHER CULTURAL KINGDOMS
Whilst it is now time to also dissect the influence of drugs on these idle youths and those of other youths in the North, generally speaking, Sultan Sa’adu must be told loud and clear that these voices of evil and wickedness from the BLACKEST DARKNESS – the herdsmen, rapists, bandits and Boko Haram members are all members of the Caliphate Army (CA) or rather the Sokoto Caliphate Armed Forces (SCAF), doing violence and bloodletting to expand the Sokoto Caliphate, even in 21st century. And this assertion, apart from being self-evident is a deductive reality drawn from his very careless and very unguarded statement that he is the leader of the UTHMAN DAN FODIO DYNASTY! Hence under this scenario, the Hausa/Fulani/Kanuri and Shuwa Arab youths aspire to be like Uthman Dan Fodio, Maitatsine, Mohammed Yusuf, Musab al-Bamawi, whilst their counterparts in the South aspire to be like Achebe, WS, Okigbo, J.P, Ngo Girl, Oby Baby, etc, etc.
Lest I forget, who is Bambado answerable to being the Sarkin of Lagos, disguising at least for now as the Fulani king in Lagos for ONLY the Fulanis, and doubling as the Chairman of all the Fulani Chiefs in the South West – the Oba of Lagos or the Sultan of Sokoto as in the case of the emir of Ilorin in West Central Nigeria, but now classed under NOKBEKWARA (North Central)?

Nigeria is a nation on a stage perpetually acting a series of tragedy 24/7. The most recent stage-managed drama proves this point. That globally embarrassing drama was staged from ILE GBOMOGBO (the Presidency) by the shameless dramatis personae that abound therein – the OFFICIAL GBOMOGBOMO to divert the attention of the Nigerian people and their friends and foes across the globe from the death of the over 100 farmers at Zabarmari in Borno.
And it should make an entry into a book soon to be written by the OFFICIAL GBOMOGBOMO titled: A BEGINNERS’S GUIDE ON HOW TO STAGE-MANAGE A SUCCESSFUL MASS ABDUCTION and will be edited by ‘Professor’ Rehoboam Daura, the artistic director of the ILE GBOMOGBOMO NATIONAL TROUPE.
But whilst every Nigerian and the world ponder on this recent shame and global embarrassment, let immortal Abbey speak even to the dead consciences of all the monsters at ILE GBOMOGBOMO and their field monsters and foot soldiers on such an ungodly errand: “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”
THIS IS YOU, MUHAMMADU BUHARI:
“Lowliness is young ambition’s ladder,
whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend.”
Purposeless, visionless, mission less, dreamless, non-aspirational, non-motivating, uncreative, uninventive, not innovative, directionless, supra-clueless, a walking dead President, merciless, passionless, very lifeless, vicious, grossly incompetent, grossly inconsiderate, thoughtless, bestially stingy, provincial, clannish, crassly beastly.
Mostrous, insensate/insensitive, intolerant, a bigot of the very worst type, hyper-sensitive, hyper-eruptive, hyper- tyrannical, hyper-dictatorial, sanguinary, cold-blooded, incomparably nepotistic, small-minded, brain dead, brain damaged, ha-for-do (how-I-for-do?) President, time waster running a government by caretakers/proxy, very cruel, Pharisaic, very wicked and always revelling in purposeless malignity, very boring, vampiric, certificateless, parochial, insensible, pretentious, hypocritical, self-centred, rabid hater of humanity, but a passionate lover of beasts (cows), ethnic supremacist, bigot, zealot, domineering, tyrannical, dictatorial, tendentious, good for nothing, very inflexible, unforgiving, mean, meaningless, very irresponsible, uncanny, capricious, uncaring, unsure, lacking confidence generally, an all-round misfit, thoroughly useless, rubbish, garbage, double-minded; indecisive and without an iota of honour.
Hey, you lota there, kindly tell Muhammadu Buhari that whenever Muhammadu Buhari is around, let Muhammadu Buhari know because Muhammadu Buhari wants to speak to Muhammadu Buhari the utmost word of truth about Muhammadu Buhari, perhaps Muhammadu Buhari will listen to Muhammadu Buhari, since all else have failed to make Muhammadu Buhari examine his ways and review his strategy of governance.
But alas, it is too late “…because the falcon cannot hear the falconer”, hence “mere anarchy is loosed upon” our Nigeria.
Honour and integrity require that a person hands up in surrender when they find they cannot perform a task because they are not fit health-wise, especially if demented and intellectually bankrupt/destitute.
GOVERNANCE NO BE BY PROPAGANDA AND VILLIFICATION OF THOSE WITH OPPOSING VIEWS BECAUSE TO GOVERN A NATION MEANS TO GOVERN A NATION AND WHAT IS MORE, GOVERN WELL AND DEMOCRATICALLY TOO.
Yet even more, I say again, that governance is not about kitchen gossip, nor the other room gossip, nor marriage, nor having many concubines, nor who is snatching whose wife or whose husband; nor who is asking who to marry their daughter, nor who upon such a request by whomsoever decided to rebel against such an EXECUTIVE ORDER/REQUEST, nor about chicken shed or cow pen gossip, nor about a beer parlour gossip, nor barbering shop gossip, nor mammy market gossip, nor pepper soup joint or Buka or Mama put or Ala carte or cafeteria or book launch gossip nor fiction, nor about looting, sharing oil blocks, or about contracts changing hands from one person to another nor about looting.
But governance again, is about governance. Pure and simple.
Can Nigerians not now see what their so-called ruling elites do in the nation’s hallowed grounds of service?

SERIES: SOCIAL WELL BEING, HEALTH, SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE POOR IN THE CORE NORTH OF THE WEST AFRICAN STATE OF NIGERIA
(PART 12): Porous borders and national security in times of national emergency and unparalleled adversity
Since July 13, 2020 when the 11th espousal on the current Nigerian tragedy, particularly the grave threat to national security, the looming famine beyond Biblical proportion, population explosion, intractable flooding, plight of the IDPs, the tragedy that is the children of Allah (the Almajirai), rape, youth violence, the danger of having kingdoms in kingdoms, terrorism, etc, JOHN ODEY ADUMA has been hibernating and incubating for ideas at his incubation/philosophical laboratory, and the result of that withdrawal from the crowd in search of the deeper things and meanings of life is what will be cascading from his intellectual Niagara Falls, and you would do well to enmesh/soak/saturate yourself in the falls.
And worried by the current state of reportage in the nations of the world, particularly in Nigeria, totally lacking in depth and investigation coupled with the usual resort and retreat to kinship or clannish journalism, the non-existent anonymous “authoritative source/s”, Aduma, whilst at the Daily Times of Nigeria Plc as its Editorial Board Chairman, had had to intervene to refocus the dumbing down of professionalism by propounding a theory he had then called Pyramidal or Tripodal or Triangular Criticism or Analysis, and in this series, you are going to read his latest media theories – The John Aduma Newsroom Boxes, the Dodecagonium; including political theories such as OMU, Nigerianistic Equality for the self-same reason, aimed at journalistic excellence and international best practice and in the furtherance of his vision of Nigerianism, Nigeriatopia and Nigerian exceptionalism.
You are, therefore, welcome to read, drink, soak yourself therein, debate, dissect and analyse, chew it, swallow it up, and become wiser and reflective, but you are not to plagiarise, copy and paste to claim its ownership, nor regurgitate it, but give credit to the author if you must make reference, quote from it or you are fascinated by any word, phrase/s or idea.
As a teenager at Aladura Comprehensive High School, Anthony Village, the age that the GIBB have chosen to join cultism and youth gang, it was Aduma’s dream to propound theories, be the most quoted intellectual on the planet earth and the greatest theorist and philosopher ever. And regarding that boyish dream, he is today widely quoted in academic journals and scholarly theses across the globe.
No doubt, you are already salivating and don’t want any further ‘traffic’ from the author on your way to his fountain of wisdom and knowledge, but before you are set loose, Mr Aduma ‘d like to ask you these questions: what is your dream?
Just what are your life’s dreams and goals? Happy reading!
Peace to the nations
GI – Standing in the gap for our world and the nations (Ezekiel 22:30).
“ So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one."
- Ezekiel 22:30
Enter, Sovereign Lord – the Maker of heaven and earth: Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. (Psalm 115:15).
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekiel 3: 17-19.
Peace to the nations
Enter, the Watchman for the nations: (Looking penitent and in sorrow of heart): Here I am, Lord…
Enter, Sovereign Lord – the Maker of heaven and earth: Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. (Psalm 115:15).
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
