THE GENERALISSIMO CURSE, THE DRUGGED COURTS OF POWER, AND THE CHILDREN LEFT STANDING IN THE RUINS

By Kio Amachree | Stockholm, Sweden | President, Worldview International

Public life in Nigeria attracts an astonishing number of deeply damaged people. Men carrying unresolved trauma, inferiority complexes, narcissism, tribal paranoia, greed, delusions of grandeur, and a pathological addiction to applause. Nigeria does not simply produce politicians. It produces entire fantasy worlds around them.

The dangerous part is this: eventually the men at the centre of the theatre start believing the theatre is real.

I look at Seyi Tinubu sometimes and genuinely wonder whether he truly believes the hysteria surrounding him is authentic. Whether he honestly thinks the rented crowds, choreographed praise singing, dancing youths, endless social media worship, and desperate businessmen hanging around him represent love rather than proximity to power and access to state money.

This cycle repeats itself every generation in Nigeria.

A man rises.
The crowd gathers.
The myth expands.
Reality disappears.

Then comes destruction.

I remember watching Chief M.K.O. Abiola arriving at parties in Lagos in the early 1980s. Absolute madness. Musicians screaming his name. Women ululating. Men almost fighting to touch him. Endless praise singers surrounding him like a travelling royal court.

I remember standing on a balcony around 1982 beside my late cousin Dr Doris Fisher looking down at the spectacle below and quietly saying to her:

“That man is not going to end well.”

Not because Abiola was evil. Far from it. But because Nigerian fanfare is spiritually dangerous. It disconnects powerful men from reality. It convinces them they are chosen by destiny. It surrounds them with opportunists, flatterers, cult worshippers, and men whose survival depends on feeding the ego of the man at the centre.

Nigeria has a terrible habit of psychologically inflating powerful men until they lose all connection with mortality itself.

Then Nigeria destroys them.

THE TITLE AND ITS SHADOWS

When Abiola accepted the Aare Ona Kakanfo — the ancient Yoruba military title meaning Field Marshal or Generalissimo of the Alaafin’s armies — older Yoruba figures quietly warned him about the darkness surrounding that office.

Of the fourteen holders of the title across Yoruba history, the first twelve were purely military commanders.  The title carries one of the most formidable ritual foundations in West African traditional governance. The inauguration ceremony involves the complete shaving of the Aare’s head, with 201 incisions made on his occiput using 201 different lancets, each rubbed with a specially prepared ingredient from 201 separate viols.  The tradition demands total commitment — the Aare is expected to win in battle or return a corpse. An Eso, of which the Aare Ona Kakanfo is commander, must never be shot in the back. His wounds must always face the enemy. 

The political mythology surrounding the title has been reinforced by the violent ends of its holders. The 6th Aare, Afonja of Ilorin, died fighting. The 12th Aare, Latosha of Ibadan, committed suicide when he lost a battle. The 13th Aare — Ladoke Akintola — died fighting, submachine gun in both hands, during the Nzeogwu coup. 

MKO Abiola remains the only man in history to simultaneously hold the titles of Basorun of Ibadan and Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland.  And the 14th Aare met his end in circumstances that have never been fully settled.

On July 7, 1998 — the same day the military government had announced that Abiola would be released — Susan Rice and Ambassador Thomas Pickering led a United States delegation to visit the Nigerian president-elect. According to reports, the American delegation met him at 3 p.m. He died between 3:20 and 3:40 p.m.  Rice described Abiola coming into the meeting robust and happy to see them, sitting on the couch and recounting how poorly he had been treated during his four years in prison. About five minutes into the conversation, he started to cough, first mildly and then rackingly. Rice poured him tea from a service on the table. He sipped it but continued coughing.  The autopsy confirmed the cause of death as a heart attack.  Whether or not one accepts that conclusion, the symbolism of the Aare Ona Kakanfo dying in the custody of a military dictatorship on the day of his promised release — four years after his democratic mandate was stolen — says everything about what Nigeria does to its most consequential men.

THE SONS WHO INHERIT THE RUINS

But what people forget is the damage these men leave behind inside their own families.

Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, Premier of the Western Region from independence in 1960 until his assassination on January 15, 1966,  was not only a political titan — he was a father. His son, Ambassador Abayomi Akintola, later gave graphic details of the almost twenty-hour siege that culminated in his father’s brutal assassination during the January 1966 coup. The invaders abandoned the blood-soaked body at the entrance of the building. 

But there was another son whose story is far less documented and far more instructive.

Toks Akintola was among the earliest Nigerians to attend Eton College — the same school I later attended myself. By all accounts he was intelligent, charismatic, privileged, and carried himself with the confidence that often surrounds the sons of powerful men. But after witnessing the destruction of his father and the collapse of his family, he returned to England psychologically shattered.

People who knew him later spoke of a young man spiralling badly out of control. The trauma followed him. The violence followed him. The collapse followed him. He reportedly descended into increasingly reckless behaviour and died tragically young at around twenty-two years old.

That is the part Nigerian politics never discusses.

The children.

The sons who inherit enemies they did not create.
The daughters trapped inside dynasties built on fear.
The families left psychologically shattered after the crowds disappear.

Because power in Nigeria does not merely consume politicians.

It consumes bloodlines.

FRANCE, MEDICAL SUITES, AND THE THEATRE OF STRENGTH

Which brings me to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

What Nigeria is increasingly witnessing resembles elderly abuse disguised as governance. A visibly exhausted old man is being pushed continuously through the machinery of power because too many people around him cannot survive financially or politically without him remaining in office.

And France has effectively become an offshore extension of Aso Rock.

In June 2023, barely a month after assuming office, Tinubu travelled to France. While the official reason was diplomatic, sources reported that he received medical treatment during his stay. On January 24, 2024, he embarked on what was described as a “private visit” — but multiple sources confirmed it was for medical care, lasting thirteen days. By November 2024, a “state visit” to France at the invitation of President Macron coincided with unconfirmed reports of further medical treatment. In February 2025 came another “private visit,” later revealed to be a medical trip. Two months after that, he departed for a two-week “working visit.” The total time spent in France within just over two months of 2025 alone reached twenty-one days. 

The financial dimension is equally striking. A review of the Open Treasury Portal revealed that the Tinubu presidency spent N36 billion on international travel in 2024 alone. 

The clinical reports that have leaked are deeply disturbing. Sources reported that during one hospitalisation, Tinubu could not speak for five days and had to be intubated. His tongue was reportedly sticking out. Upon returning to Nigeria, he was observed with what appeared to be a peripherally inserted central catheter attached to his upper arm — images that went viral on social media. 

Paris for rest. Paris for consultations. Paris for rejuvenation. Always somewhere nearby sits Gilbert Chagoury — the billionaire fixer whose relationship with Nigerian power stretches back decades.

Meanwhile Nigeria burns.

Villages wiped out.
Kidnappings exploding.
The naira collapsing.
Young Nigerians fleeing abroad.
Investors retreating.
Infrastructure crumbling.

And still the travelling court continues pretending everything is normal.

THE DRUGGED COURTS OF HISTORY

The most dangerous thing about ageing rulers is that entire systems emerge around hiding their decline. History is full of this.

John F. Kennedy — glamorised endlessly — was heavily medicated for much of his presidency. Behind the image of youthful vigour was a man suffering from Addison’s disease, crippling pain, severe spinal injuries, chronic infections, and near-constant exhaustion. His physician Dr Max Jacobson, nicknamed “Dr Feelgood,” injected him with cocktails containing amphetamines and stimulants, while other doctors simultaneously administered painkillers, steroids, sedatives, anti-anxiety medication, and sleeping drugs. Kennedy’s advisers knew. His inner circle knew. The American public did not.

Adolf Hitler became even more chemically dependent as his power consolidated and then crumbled. His personal physician Theodor Morell pumped him with methamphetamine-based stimulants, cocaine derivatives, opiates, hormones, barbiturates, and bizarre experimental animal extracts. By the final stages of the war, Hitler displayed visible trembling, paranoia, explosive mood swings, irrational military decision-making, emotional instability, and increasing detachment from reality. He was making decisions that killed hundreds of thousands of people while chemically altered. The men around him — generals, ministers, aides — kept the machinery running because their own survival depended on it.

The public rarely sees the real condition of powerful men because too many careers and fortunes depend on maintaining the illusion of strength.

That is what worries me about Nigeria now.

Not merely Tinubu himself.

But the atmosphere around him. The insulation. The handlers. The flattery. The mythology. The refusal to acknowledge visible decline. The N36 billion in travel bills charged to a country where millions cannot afford one square meal a day.

THE SON IN THE CONVOY

And then there is Seyi Tinubu.

Young men raised around convoys, billionaires, bodyguards, state power, and endless praise can easily begin confusing fear with respect and applause with love. That is a fatal mistake in Nigeria.

Because Nigerian political fanfare has an expiration date.

Always.

Akintola discovered it on the night of January 14, 1966, in a besieged Ibadan residence with soldiers at his gates.

Abiola discovered it on July 7, 1998, in a Abuja detention facility on the very day he was told he would finally be free.

Countless others have discovered it in courtrooms, exile, poverty, and disgrace.

And when the collapse finally comes, the same crowd screaming loudest today will disappear first tomorrow.

They always do.

The question Seyi Tinubu should be asking himself — quietly, privately, honestly — is not how to ride his father’s wave higher.

It is what happens when the wave breaks.

Because in Nigeria, it always does.

And the children are always left standing in the ruins.

[AMB. UMANU @mrUmanu_Elijah]

This is the Youth Minister of Nigeria.

He is a colossal disgrace to the entire Nigeria Youth.

He offers no value to the growth and development of Nigerian youths. All he does is follow Seyi Tinubu up and down like a bodyguard.

Last year, we where in Botswana for the FORBES Africa youth summit, several countries where represented but this dude left we the delegates from Nigeria Stranded.

He is the typical example of those that give youths a bad name in politics and leadership positions. An embarrassment.

If he doesn’t know his job, let me enlist them here for him.

Duties of the Minister of Youth in Nigeria include:
1.Formulating and implementing youth development policies.
2.Creating programs for youth empowerment and employment.
3.Promoting entrepreneurship and skill acquisition for young people.
4.Supporting education, leadership, and civic engagement among youths.
5.Coordinating the activities of youth organizations and associations.
6.Overseeing the National Youth Service Corps (National Youth Service Corps) and related youth programs.
7.Encouraging sports, cultural activities, and talent development for youths.
8.Addressing issues like unemployment, drug abuse, cultism, and youth violence.
9.Partnering with private organizations, NGOs, and international bodies on youth-focused initiatives.
10.Advising the President and Federal Executive Council on youth-related matters.
11.Promoting national unity and inclusion through youth engagement programs.
12.Managing government funding and grants targeted at youth development.
13.Creating platforms for political participation and leadership opportunities for young people.
14.Monitoring and evaluating youth programs across the country.
15.Representing Nigeria in international youth development forums and partnerships.

[Omoyele Sowore @sowore]

I don’t understand why Nigerians even remotely think @officialabat Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, @femigbaja , was acting alone in taking a N400million bribe to create a fake government agency. Come on!

Do you guys not know @femigbaja's history in Atlanta, where he was stealing his client’s money as a lawyer? And @officialABAT himself lived in Chicago, where his past was tied to drug-trafficking and a major forfeiture case.

So, please, spare me the nonsense that @officialABAT suddenly discovered he had a thief beside him! Do you seriously think Tinubu doesn’t know Gbaja? Birds of the same feather don’t need introductions.

The real question is not whether Tinubu knows what Gbaja is capable of. The question is whether the entire @officialABAT government is not a racket.

[BUCOS @TENIBEGILOJU202]

A GENTLE REMINDER TO WHEN SOYINKA CONDEMNED THE ABUSE OF OUR MILITARY PERSONNEL BY SEYI TINUBU... The founder of cultism in Nigeria enjoined Tinubu to deploy Seyi and his retinue of soldiers to go save the situation anywhere there is coup in West Africa again. That family love power too much.

[Cyborg Warlord @Admiral_Cyborg]

What do you expect from A General Overseer who ordained the 3rd wife of a Muslim man to be a Pastor in his ministry? I expected worse than this.

If Tinubu had not been in power, a lot of Nigerians may not have understood how chameleonic, fraudulent, bigoted, crooked, tribalistic and prebendal that most yorubas are...
