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

DO YOU?.

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

HEDGE YOUR CRISIS.

Never get in bed with a woman whose problems are worse than yours. - Chicago PD.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

CANCEL CULTURE IS CORROSIVE.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


MAGA LIVES ON: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER!

TWITTER IS BORING WITHOUT HIS TWEETS. #RestorePresidentTrump'sTwitterHandle.


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.

THE HIT LIST - our incredible but true story series: - SERIE 2

1. Very expensive high-end Hamburgers!

Are you rich enough? Can you afford America's Most Expensive Hamburgers? How much could you spend for a hamburger? Do you know that dozens of restaurants across the United States of America serves Kobe-beef burgers topped with truffles and foie gras. The price tags on these wallet-busting burgers can reach $175. It's a chance to try the ‘ultimate’ example of something edible, and because it's a burger — well, who doesn't want to eat the ultimate burger?” In Pictures: America's Most Expensive Hamburgers
Another burger gimmick comes courtesy of the kitchen at the Palms. They'll pair a $6 Carl Jr.’s hamburger with a 24-year-old bottle of French Bordeaux. This ultimate combo meals costs $6,000. Not content to let the West Coast take the lead, New York City-based steakhouse chain Olde Homestead got in the race. They recently decided that their original $41 20-ounce Kobe beef hamburger wasn’t enough, and introduced an $81 burger. It's made with 14 ounces of 100 percent “Grade Five” Kobe Wagyu beef — with a four-ounce medallion of Kobe sirloin tucked inside. That still doesn't compare to DB's Double Truffle burger, served with 20 grams of shaved black truffles—and a $150 price tag. Believe it or not, there's an even more expensive burger — dusted with gold — also served in New York. Icheoku says, what a price to pay for a piece of bread and beef patties? Anyway, you only live once, so why not if you can! Incredible? You bet!

2. His body will not decay!

The body of the bearded Capuchin monk, Padre Pio was exhumed from a crypt on March 3 and found to be in good condition after 40 years of his death. A poll in 2006 by Catholic magazine Famiglia Cristiana found that more Italian Catholics prayed to Padre Pio than to any other figure, including the Virgin Mary or Jesus. His picture is stuck to the dashboards of many taxis and cars throughout Italy. In the sepulcher, he was dressed in a brown Capuchin habit and wore fingerless gloves he used to absorb blood from wounds on his hands. Among the stories that surround the monk, who died at the age of 81, is one that he wrestled with the devil one night in his monastery cell and emerged bloodied and bruised." Icheoku says a saint of our time? Really! Is it not incredible that Italians, the custodians of the Roman Catholic Church are praying to an ordinary mortal more than to blessed Virgin Mary or even the Lord Jesus Christ? Is this heresy or what?

3.
The rocking Monk!
Dressed in his traditional brown robe, sandals and twirling the rope around his waist, this 62-year old Friar Cesare Bonizzi is no ordinary heavy metal rocker. But as guitarists around him grind out heavy notes, the long-white-bearded Capuchin, a former missionary in Ivory Coast, has no qualms bobbing his head and shouting lyrics about alcohol, sex, tobacco and life in general into his microphone.Describing himself as a "preacher-singer," Bonizzi has been singing for over a decade, and last month wowed heavy metal fans at Italy's "Gods of Metal" festival, where he performed with his band Fratello Metallo (Metal Brother) alongside groups such as Iron Maiden. A member of the Catholic Capuchin order in Milan, Bonizzi began singing heavy metal after having first started with what he calls "light music with slight rock influence."You can see Friar Bonizzi in action here. Icheoku says, rock on reverend! Who says you have to become a destitute and self-deprived absolutionist in order to serve your God! God loves the cheerful one so why not indulge yourself in whatever puts a smile on your face and maybe on another's; that way you may live long! Truth!

4. Obasanjo abandons electricity problem to God
The medicine man of Otta, Babalawo Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo is a despicable person. He said Nigerians should take their electricity problem to God, adding that they should take to God anything they do not have which they wished to have or cannot get. Icheoku says that this deranged incestuous monster of Otta Olusegun Obasanjo was rescued from the gallows and sent to Aso Rock by God to give Nigerians electricity among other things. He disobeyed God and eight years after his ignoble reign over Nigeria, he is today opening his wide dirty mouth to insult Nigerians. What a country? Icheoku says this monster should be arrested and put away for all his crimes against humanity and also since he is unable to explain to Nigerians why the $16billion dollars USD he misappropriated for electricity did not add even a single mega watt of electricity to the national grid! Isn't that incredulous? At best let Aremu Obasanjo spare Nigerians further pains from the memories of his atrocious regime and please SHUT THE F**K UP!
5. From Grace to Grass - disguised ex-president of Serbia!
When Saddam Hussein was fished out of a spider hole in a farm in Baghdad by the brave United States of America military, Icheoku thought we have had the last of such desperate act by former men of authority to evade justice by eluding capture from a manhunt. But we were proved wrong. The fugitive ex-president of Serbia, Bosnian-Serb President Radovan Karadzic proved that he was a good student of Saddam Hussein and while the whole world was busy traversing the rugged Serbia country-side looking for him, he took a page from Saddam Hussein and grew beards with an alias; living in the city suburb of Belgrade as a commoner - a traditional homeopathic doctor! What an irony of fate that a once demi-god president of Serbia stole an identity of a rural gardener and hid behind face-covering beards and for about thirteen years!

Until next week Sunday when we come your way again with our incredible but true stories; remain blessed and please continue to visit www.Icheoku.com! Our team of bloggers shall continue to strive to bring to you our best-effort editorials of social and political happenings around our world. So long!
