From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms indicate a disturbance in your digestive fire (Agni) and an aggravation of Pitta dosha. 
Your history of stomach ulcer, which responded to omeprazole, suggests an excess of Pitta (acid and heat) in the stomach. Pitta imbalance can cause ulceration and burning sensations in the digestive tract.

The severe headaches, lightheadedness, claudy (cloudy) vision, and vertigo that accompany your ulcer symptoms may be due to a spillover of Pitta into the head region. This is why the headaches worsen with certain foods like raw groundnuts, mangoes, boiled yam, and garri—all of which can increase Pitta.
When you took omeprazole, it helped by reducing stomach acidity, thus calming Pitta. However, as your body’s balance changes over time, the same treatment may not be as effective.

Since omeprazole now seems less effective and your headaches are returning with food triggers, it suggests that the underlying imbalance may have deepened or shifted. Your Agni (digestive fire) may be weak, leading to improper digestion and further aggravation of Pitta, which then manifests as headaches and other symptoms.

Avoid or reduce foods that increase heat and acidity, such as raw groundnuts, mangoes, boiled yam, and garri.
Favor cooling and easily digestible foods like cooked vegetables, rice, and moong dal.
Include bitter and astringent tastes (like leafy greens and pomegranate) to balance Pitta.

In the meantime take this medication for 2 weeks - Tab Pittashekhar 2-0-2 after food.
Tab Kamdudha 2-0-2 before food. 
Yashtimadhu + triphala churna - 1/2 tsp each after dinner.

Hi Godwin,

Can you tell me if you experience any other digestive symptoms like bloating, nausea, or heartburn along with the foods you mentioned? Also, have you noticed any changes in your stress levels or sleep quality, as these can affect both the stomach and headaches?

 It seems like certain foods may trigger your symptoms, and it could be helpful to address your digestion with a more personalized approach, including dietary adjustments and possibly Ayurvedic remedies like Amla, Licorice, or Triphala to balance acidity and support healing.

In stomach ulcers better avoid NSAIDS (which you are taking for taking for headache) it may further aggrevate your symptoms 
Meanwhile avoid spicy sour oily fried processed foods
