GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

A HERO IS BORN.

#MeToo MOVEMENT: A BAD NEWS GONE CRAZY.

"To all the women who testified, we may have different truth, but I have a great remorse for all of you. I have great remorse for all of the men and women going through this crisis right now in our country. You know, the movement started basically with me, and I think what happened, you know, I was the first example, and now there are thousands of men who are being accused and a regeneration of things that I think none of us understood. I’m not going to say these aren’t great people. I had wonderful times with these people. I’m just genuinely confused. Men are confused about this issue. We are going through this #MeToo movement crisis right now in this country." - Harvey Weinstein.


RON DELLUMS: UNAPOLOGETICALLY RADICAL.

"If it’s radical to oppose the insanity and cruelty of the Vietnam War, if it’s radical to oppose racism and sexism and all other forms of oppression, if it’s radical to want to alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, and other forms of human misery, then I’m proud to be called a radical.” - Ron Vernie Dellums.


WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. Memories precipitated by love is the only true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. The most expensive bed in the world is the sick bed. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.” - SJ

IBB:- ONE DOWN, ONE MORE TO GO!


The evil genius Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB) has finally turned the corner and confessed how he wickedly annulled the freest election ever to hold in black Africa! On June 12th 1993 Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida annulled the election of Alhaji Mudasiru Kolawole Oluwole Abiola as President-elect of Nigeria for no justifiable reason whatsoever. In his own very loud mouth and egoistic rambling, he admitted to this infamy and expects Nigerians to applaud him? Really? Shame on you Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.
IBB spoke against the backdrop of the outcry that greeted the book written by former National Electoral Commission (NEC) Chairman, Professor Humphrey Nwosu, where he attempted to absolve Babangida of blame in the episode. Babangida explained in a statement issued through his Media Spokesman, Kassim Afegbua, that the criticism against Nwosu is unnecessary because he has the right to write a book on his knowledge of events at the time. According to the spokesman, "Babangida has repeatedly said that given the circumstances at that period, it was better to take a decision, no matter how judgmental, than not to take one at all. And that he should be held responsible and accountable for whatever happened during his tenure as President". And Icheoku will like to add, that this includes the parcel-bombing of journalist Dele Giwa? Bravo Babangida! Kudos to you the evil one, the evil genius of Nigeria! Nigeria will forever vilify you for this stupidity and reckless disregard for the will of the millions of Nigerian electorates who for once freely decided on the candidacy of MKO Abiola as President of Nigeria; but which you thwarted. However, Icheoku says your confession is the way to go, IBB; one down and one more to go.
The question now is, when are you going to confess to your complicity or otherwise in the parcel-bomb assassination of Dele Giwa? Dele Giwa of Newswatch magazine, whom your henchmen killed to silence his investigative effort to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of Gloria Okon; who was a victim of a cover-up dispatch. Anyway, Icheoku awaits that time when your ignoble self will also come around to make this once in a lifetime confession! Nigerians will finally exhale at that time and we pray it will be very soon. As for your aspiration or lack thereof to the presidency, just remember that you are no longer in uniform and that General Yakubu Gowon once ran for that office but was stopped cold by your one and only successful achievement, OPTION A4! May be a trial will convince you on how despicable you are in the eyes of Nigerians. Nigeria loathes and despises you for thumbing your nose on them on their historic June 12th, 1993. How dare you think that what you did to MKO Abiola will not turn around to hunt you? The chicken will finally come home to roost as soon as you declare your candidacy. What you denied MKO Abiola, you now want to enjoy? Dream on IBB! Nigeria will place you where you belong at the proper time, Mr. EVIL GENIUS!

  1. June 12: Only IBB can say what happened – Tahir
    From PAUL ORUDE, Bauchi

    Second Republic Minister of Internal Affairs, Dr. Ibrahim Tahir, says unless former President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida opens up on the annulment of June 12, 1993 presidential election, which results were announced recently by Prof. Humphrey Nwosu the truth will remain elusive.

    Nwosu had said, at the launch of his book in Abuja recently, that Chief MKO Abiola scored over eight million votes to win the election which was later annulled. He, however, failed to say who voided the election and his comments had attracted widespread criticism.

    Tahir told Daily Sun, in Bauchi, that he was not surprised that Nwosu exonerated Babangida, describing revelation in the controversial book as “wayward”.

    According to him, Nwosu’s exposition remains an exercise in futility until Babangida opens up on who annulled the poll.
    “It is apposite to say that we are in Nigeria becoming a little bit too wayward in presenting, or unearthing, or exposing, or dilating matters, which, in many political cultures, would have been subject to what we might call the 50th year rule, whereby certain epochal events are closed to public view until after 50 years,” he said.

    Tahir, who is the Talban Bauchi, added: “We shall have to wait to know the truth and the full facts.”
    He pointed out that June 12 annulment, “was a complicated situation of power play in which all sort of currents were playing. There was one current, which was floated by a lot of people saying after this vote, there should have been a continuation of the Babangida administration with a French type system of government and the winner of the election simply styled prime minister, in the French way, to work as a kind of staff for the president.

    “There was another current, which said no, there should have been a more interim period controlled by civilians headed by Abiola himself as head of government business. Quite a lot happened after the ouster of Shonekan.It would not be easy to get to the bottom of this information until IBB himself speaks.”
    The former minister observed that it does not do anybody any harm for Nwosu to have gone the way he did in his book.

    He said: “A lot of people have reacted that IBB could not be absolved, that he was part of the military machinery. But that is the problem with leadership and which is what Africa has somehow not learnt to accept, which is that it doesn’t matter what happens, so to that extent you could not exonerate IBB, but in the details of what happened, different scenario might have been. But it would not be easy to get to the bottom of this information until IBB himself speaks.

    “Key characters have gone, Abacha is gone; some of the key movers in the top echelon of the military have also died, so maybe we have to wait a little to know the full facts. In the meantime, anybody’s interpretation is as good as anybody’s.”
