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.

I am staying put. I will not run away and abandon my people. The fight is here in Ukraine. What I need are weapons and ammunitions, not a ride out of town like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani - President Volodymyr Zelensky.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

"There is too much hate in America because there is too much anger in America." - Trevor Noah.

WORD!

A life without challenges is not a life lived at all. A life lived is a life that has problems, confronts problems, solves problems and then learns from problems. - Tunde Fashola.

NOW, YOU KNOW.

When fishing for love, bait with your heart and not your brain, because you cannot rationalize love. - Mark Twain.

JUST THE FACT.

In our country, you can shoot and kill a nigger, but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings - Dave Chappelle

WORD.

"If you cannot speak the truth when it matters, then nothing else you says matters.” - Tucker Carlson.

#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

EVIL CANNOT BE TRULY DESTROYED.

"The threat of evil is ever present. We can contain it as long as we stay vigilant, but it can never truly be destroyed. - Lorraine Warren (Annabelle, the movie)


ONLY THE POOR WISH THEY HAD STUFF?

“I’m not that interested in material things. As long as I find a good bed that I can sleep in, that’s enough.” - Nicolas Berggruem, the homeless billionaire.

GABON, CANNIBALS?

For a preamble, Gabon is a tiny petty dictator-controlled country in Central Africa while Nigeria is supposedly the giant of Africa located on the west coast of Africa.

Any country really worth its existence would launch a "war" at any person or authority or entity which subjected her citizen to such inhumane treatment as the roasting alive, without any justification whatsoever, of the victim pictured here below. Icheoku asserts categorically that no criminality whatsoever is deserving of the grilling of a living human-being, over coals of fire to inflict such degree of burns as was the case here! It does not matter whether the victim committed the most heinous crime or otherwise, talk-less of mere cohesion for information on the where-about of another, who is not in any known legal guardianship of the victim. The Gabonese government of Omar Bongo should be held vicariously responsible for this nefarious act of his government officials; who subjected a Nigerian citizen living lawfully in Libreville Gabon, to such a painful and excruciating ordeal! Where are the paid diplomats of Nigeria? What measures are being taken by Nigeria's Foreign Affairs Minister? Where are the Generals of the brave Nigerian Armed Forces or is the protection of her citizens no longer one of their roles? Why would the government of Nigeria's Umaru Yaradua not take a decisive diplomatic and military action if need be, on this tiny inconsequential country of Gabon? This is imperative in order to demand and receive respect; and also send a strong message that Nigeria can no longer tolerate the abuse of her citizens by anyone including little Gabon. The inaction of Nigeria's high-ups in matters as this has made Nigerians, all over the world, the butt of every country and her people. The time is now for Nigeria to act decisively or forever remain the clay-tiger of Africa which several decades of inept governments have subjugated her to. Nigeria should say, never again will any of her citizen be subjected to such barbarism as was witnessed in this case. Gabonese government is treating this incident with levity because it has not generated enough outrage yet, in the international community and Nigerian government is possibly treading softly because it does not want to irk the Gabonese. But a human-being had his human rights savagely violated and hence justice must be served.
Icheoku condemns in the strongest term possible, the perpetrators of this inhumane act! It is savagely! How can a people be so barbaric that they roasted alive, a living person? Icheoku hereby declare the Gabonese authorities, the last remaining cannibals of the African continent. Shame on you Gabonese authorities! And for you, Midget President Omar Bongo of Gabon, your country stinks as the worst abusers of human rights in Africa.


Please see below, an abridged version of a letter from Access to Justice that triggered the condemnation by Icheoku, of the Gabonese authorities for their fragrant abuse of Mr. Joseph Adumekwe's human rights!








Access to Justice' Urgent Campaign Newsletter

Dear Friends.
We want to solicit your help to further publicize the trauma suffered by a Nigerian, Mr. Joseph Adumekwe in the hands of Gabonese officials. We hope that our collective voices and action will help to break the cold deliberative silence over this matter by both Gabonese and Nigerian officials.
Here now is what allegedly transpired:-
"Mr. Joseph Adumekwe was a legal resident of Libreville Gabon, until his arbitrary deportation therefrom back to Nigeria on Friday, 25th April 2008 by Gabonese authorities. His ordeal began on the 16th of December 2007, on which date Mr. Adumekwe was taken into custody by the Gabonese police for interrogation over the whereabouts of one Mr. Uche Ekejiuba - a member of Mr. Adumekwe's kindred union in Libreville who was wanted by the Gabonese authorities.
During interrogation, Mr. Adumekwe vehemently insisted that he knew nothing about Mr. Ekejiuba's whereabouts, save for the fact that the aforesaid Uche Ekejiuba was a member of his kindred union but had abandoned attending regular meetings since 2006. Disbelieving his statement, the Gabonese police forced him to place his 10 fingers on the floor and began trampling on them with the heels of their boots until his fingers fractured severally leaving him in excruciating pain and suffering. When that did not elicit the desired result, Mr. Adumekwe was then hung face up with an iron straddled to two vertical poles, while a pile of newspapers was lit under his back until his central back area roasted extensively (see victim's pictured body part below). Mr. Joseph Adumekwe was thereafter deported to Nigeria and without any medical care.
