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.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

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

WORDS ON MARBLE.

"Birth is agony. Life is hard. Death is cruel." - Japanese pithy.

REPENT OR PERISH - POPE.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is not ordained by God, therefore same sex marriage cannot be blessed by the church - Pope Francis.

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.

NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT DECLARES WAR AGAINST BLOGGERS!

As if the arrest and detention of Jonathan Elendu of the www.ElenduReports.com was not enough stain on Nigeria's image as a suppressor of freedom of expression, these coyotes have struck again - this time on Emmanuel Emeke Asiwe of www.Huhuonline.com! Icheoku says "na them go tire" as all these attempts at silencing fearless journalism will be in vain - all their intimidation will surely come to naught. Their attempt to muzzle civilized opposition to their lacklustre governance shall fail! "Soldier go soldier come, barracks no dey close" Umaru YarA'dua, shame on you for going despotic!

Ibrahim Babangida's government killed Dele Giwa to silence true journalism but did he outlast Nigeria? No! What about the midget of Kano state, Sani Abacha? He is gone! And Olusegun Obasanjo, he is now history so let Umaru YarA'dua play the field, someday he too will become history if his terminal sickness does not get him before too long. Umaru YarA'dua claims to be an educated with a bachelors degree in chemistry yet he behaves like a junta. What happened to his avowed respect for the rule of law? It is as pitiful as it is regrettable that these class of "human-beings" are running the affairs in Nigeria and you ask yourself, why the Nigerian engine is sputtering? This latest arrest smacks of a society that is in chains and is evidence that the clueless Umaru YarA'dau's government is too jittery!
Emeka Asiwe was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos as he arrived the country for a burial. According to family members, shortly after his arrest, Asiwe was reportedly flown to the SSS headquarters, Abuja and detained. He has not been allowed access to lawyers or family members.
On the allegation of "subversive reports" the SSS accuse bloggers of engaging in, Icheoku asks is it the truthfulness or lack thereof that is the beef or that the SSS would rather such story does not take flight? Whatever reports that was made concerning Umaru YarA'dua, Icheoku says that it is he, Umaru Yaradua that is the "subvertor-in-chief" as he subverted the will of Nigerians when he corroborated with the madman of Otta, Olusegun Obasanjo to subvert democracy in Nigeria. In other words, who elected Umaru Yaradua in the first place or with whose mandate is he really ruling Nigeria? In the strict sense of it, Umaru Yaradua has no standing even to arrest anybody because he is occupying Aso Rock wrongfully since he never won any election, as none was conducted.
In conclusion, Icheoku calls on the Nigerian authority to release forthwith their current blogger-guest. If only they know the reach and power of the blog-sphere community they will know that they are messing with the wrong crowd. Nigeria authority should learn how not to mess with bloggers. They should stop arresting some beautiful minds that Nigeria have and face the spiralling criminality which has turned Nigeria into a state under siege.
