Is Sunday Adeyemo – Igboho – a “political Offender”?

The Person has no Power to contend with the Might of the Territorial-State of which s/he is a Part. Like it or not, a Government represents the Territorial-State with or without Consent. Ipemndoh dan Iyan©


Whether or not Mr Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, is a "political Offender" is not a Decision for his Lawyer, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Yomi Aliu and Retinue to make, but for the Courts to determine. There are prima facie Grounds for the criminal Investigation of Mr Adeyemo. Nigerian Security Agents insist they found illegal Firearms on his Premises, and that he and Supporters shot at these Agents, et cetera. Whether the Nigerian Authorities can sustain these Grounds in Court is another Matter, though. Further, Mr Aliu has to prove to the Beninoise Courts his Proposition that Adeyemo “will not get justice” in Nigerian Courts. Mr Yomi Aliu in making this Claim is telling the whole World that he, as an Officer of the Nigerian Courts, works within a disreputable Jurisprudence in and with full Knowledge. This is so heavy a Condemnation of the Nigerian legal System that no Jurisprudence in the World will just accept his say-so unless he provides irrefutable Evidence. 


However, there is a criminal Allegation that the Nigerian Government can level against Adeyemo aka Igboho  in support of Extradition. The other Day, Mr Adeyemo forcefully and violently evicted Fulani Settlers from Locations he asserted to be Yorubaland with his "Ile Baba wa" (our Father's Land) Declaration. He boasted that he had given them ample Warning to vacate. Those Fulani Persons were not Tenants on Adeyemo's personal Property. They are Nigerians settled on Nigerian Lands. Instead, it was Adeyemo Igboho who criminally trespassed on the Fulani Homes. This Mr Adeyemo Igboho's Bloody-mindedness was reported in Nigeria's Media, and they are Pieces of Evidence against him. There is no "Ile Baba wa" for any Nation1 in Nigeria. Any Land, any Space in Nigeria belongs to the Nationalities2 constituting Nigeria. Always eager and ready to accuse "Fulani Herdsmen" of invading Yoruba Farmlands, Yoruba Commentators, especially, celebrated "Sunday Igboho." Yet, this Hooliganism by Adeyemo Igboho breached many Sections of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution. Some of the Fulani this Man criminally uprooted from their Homes were in those Locations even before Sunday Adeyemo was conceived let alone born. He presented no bona fide Evidence of Wrongdoing against those Settlers either to his Yoruba Triumphalists or the Security Agencies. He simply took the Law into his Hands, and rewrote the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria sections 34, 35, 36, 37, 41, 42, 43, and probably section 33 too. How is that for "Justice", Mr SAN Yomi Aliu? 


No Person can be more powerful than the Country to which s/he is a Citizen. Sunday Adeyemo believed he was. He then went on the Run, and into Hiding when Security Forces came knocking to let him know he had been gravely mistaken. Now in Detention, he is begging for 'Fairness'. Most Contemptible. It is always those who deliberately extend no 'Fairness' to Others that desperately demand 'Fairness' for themselves. If YorubaNigeria's Intransigence continues the Way it is going, Nigeria will inevitably be entangled in another Civil War. Elements of IgboNigeria, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), have already worked their Consciousness into initiating one. The Playout is this: if YorubaNigeria joins with IPOB, the War would be bloodier and longer than was witnessed in 1967 to 1970. I do not know how many times I need to say that Nigeria has never been a geo-social Reality and never will. It has simply been limping along since 1 October 1960. There is no Reason, there has never been, for the Nations of that Country forced together by Colonialism to remain indivisible. A ba. That the current President of Nigeria is not Yoruba is far removed from the Problem. The Conundrum is the Territorial-State of Nigeria itself. The National Assembly of Nigeria should be reasonable, and must enact Law soonest for the peaceful Divisibility of Nigeria. I cannot ask enough for this to happen.


I do not need to remind SAN Aliu that Court (judicial) Pleadings are not Hypotheses, i.e. Sunday Adeyemo "is a political offender." If Aliu wants to do Hypotheses, he should go do a Research Degree, and even then he has to be sensible with the Questions he asks and the Conclusions he draws. Eric Nelson tried hypothesising in his Defence of Derek Chauvin. He failed. Woefully. Besides, Mr Adeyemo is not being tried. He is a Detainee, or rather a Remandee, on “international” Arrest Warrant from Nigeria where they seek to question him, or at worst interrogate him, to identify whether or not to charge him with Offences, and which Charges to prefer. 


Mr Adeyemo's Extradition lies now on whether Nigeria can substantiate Allegations, in superficie, of criminal Conduct against him. The World will be watching. If Nigeria produces incontrovertible Evidence, but the Beninoise Authorities reject it, the Republic of Benin would have set a Precedent for Nigeria’s quid pro quo. It is how “international” Relations work. Notably, quid pro quo is not always or necessarily Repeats of Circumstances. 



Nota Bene: I have written previously in an Essay that FulaniNigerians are not exempt from the Laws of Nigeria, and must not be allowed to breach those Laws at will. See  http://ipemndohdaniyan.blogspot.com/2021/04/country-is-not-necessarily-nation-talk.html

They are not ignorant but simply of low cognitive Complexity and they support Donald J Trump Sr – Responding to TabithaSpeaksPolitics on Ice Cube the Singer and Actor

They are not ignorant but simply of low cognitive Complexity and they support Donald J Trump Sr  – Responding to TabithaSpeaksPolitics on Ice Cube the Singer and Actor Ipemndoh dan Iyan PhM Ignorance is the Cause, ignorant is the Effect, and Ignoramus is the Subject I hardly use the Expression ‘Ignorance’ and its Derivatives of ‘ignorant’ or ‘Ignoramus’. Ignorance means One does not have sufficient Information to convert to Knowledge in Order to make reasonable Conclusions or Decisions. The sharpest Criticism I would have of the Ignoramus, therefore, is that s/he is either not intelligent enough or could not be bothered to search for ‘durable Fact’© Thus, to say someone is ‘ignorant’ when that someone is actually of ‘low cognitive Complexity’ is to be unreasonably charitable to that Person. I came across the Argument of “low ‘cognitive Complexity” in my undergraduate Study in Social Psychology. I cannot remember if I read the original Formula...

“Blacks” and Women rooting for Donald J Trump Sr Presidency are ‘proto-Homosapiens’© – Commenting on Da real Adogg YouTube Upload – https://youtu.be/NIatwwijh9E?si=-HD6vvG-M00e1NpK

 “Blacks” and Women rooting for Donald J Trump Sr Presidency are ‘proto-Homosapiens’©  – Commenting on Da real Adogg YouTube Upload – https://youtu.be/NIatwwijh9E?si=-HD6vvG-M00e1NpK Ipemndoh dan Iyan PhM  My ‘proto-Homosapiens’© is my other Terminology for my ‘proto-Human’© I have borrowed the Word ‘ proto ’ from its Use in “protohistory,” which identifies a more or less rudimentary Era (in Human Existence, typically). In prefixing ‘Homosapiens’ and ‘Human’ with ‘proto’, I recognize a Stage in ‘Great Ape’ “cognitive Evolution” just before the Great Ape’s Brain developed sufficiently for the Great Ape to be considered Homosapiens otherwise Human. Thus , there exists Differentiation in ‘Brain Adequacy’© between the ‘proto’ Period when the Great Ape was substantially cognitively less of a Great Ape, and ‘extant’ Stage of Homosapiens/Humans when the Great Ape has transitioned completely from being a Great Ape. In Comparison, therefore, the Great Ape’s Brain has lim...

Ipemndoh dan Iyan PhM   The Truths That ‘People of Recent African Origin’© (PRAO), commonly referred to as “African” were taken outside Africa as Slaves is Truth . The first of them were two, stolen from the Shores around Mauretania, just coming up to the middle of the 15 th Century. By the first Quarter of the 16 th Century, the Enslavement of the PRAO had gathered fast Pace with ‘unimaginable Brutality’© of the West European facilitated largely by the ‘unremorseful Complicity’© of “very bad” – I borrow Expression from Donald J Trump Sr, the Felon 47 th President of the United States of America – PRAO is Truth . Please note that PRAO can also mean ‘Person of Recent African Origin’©. I make my Distinction of PRAO from the Reality that all Human Lives began in Africa. This is another Truth . Again, I borrow Expression from a German Occidental – so called white – Biologist/Evolutionist I saw on Television some thirty Years ago who said “we are all Africans.”...
