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.

#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.

BABANGIDA SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED BACK TO POWER, WARNS THE CLERGY?

Icheoku commends the activism of the bishop of Akure Anglican Diocese, Bishop Michael Ipinmoye, who recently called on the evil one, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, to forget about coming back to rule Nigeria again! Icheoku heretofore, invites the other men and women of God in Nigeria to rise up in unison and follow the lead in speaking against the evil that is threatening to engulf Nigeria with the declared intention of the evil genius for the presidency. We believe that anyone of them who remains silent amidst the confusion created by Babangida's declaration of intent to be president again, serves not the almighty One but a special interest!
Evil thrives in a society when good men keep quiet and fail to do something; so now is the time for all the good men and women of Nigeria to unanimously join the lead of Bishop Ipinmoye in saying big 'NO' to Babangida's attempt at a second coming since the first one was more bloody than beneficial to Nigerians and Nigerians are still to recover from his bombardment? Civil rights groups, civil societies, other groups including market women and traders as well as NLC etc must rise up now to condemn the devilish audacity of Babangida and tell him, enough! Babangida's declared presidential ambition after the wrath of his previous eight years of military interregnum was simply very insensitive of his to think that Nigerians were not hurt during his regime?
Bishop Ipinmoye condemned what he called the recycling of past tired bankrupt self-aggrandising leaders who have nothing new or more to offer to the people and the country of Nigeria; and asked Nigerians to resist them and not allow such bad leaders to continuously occupy positions of authority in the country. Continuing, the bishop said that “Babangida should not have dared to raise his head for any political office in Nigeria, due to his antecedent leadership, which woefully failure of colossal proportion; reminding IBB not to forget how he hurriedly left office in disgrace through the mythical "step-aside' volte face? The bishop cited as most damning Babangida's albatross, the death of Dele Giwa, the annulment of June 12 election, which was the freest and fairest in the history of Nigeria, the death of the winner of the election MKO Abiola, the issue of corruption which took flight during his regime and concluding that Nigerians would not forget in a hurry their experience under the infamous toothy fairy of Minna.' The bishop concluded that 'all these old horses should stay away completely from politics so that we can move forward in this country; and that we have been standing on the same spot, all motion and no movement simply because our tired old leaders lack fresh ideas to move the country forward.”
Icheoku says, well spoken bishop; and lets hope the voice of the clergy is the voice of God and that Nigerians will listen this time and stop the evil genius cold at the steps before he makes his way to Aso Rock. The leopard never changes its spots and as Olusegun Obasanjo proved, once a despot always a despot whether or not the cloak of choice is starched khaki or flowing agbada? Icheoku calls on numero-uno conscience of the nation, Wole Soyinka, to lead the stop Babangida express, notwithstanding that Babangida had once compromised him with a 700 million naira Road Safety contract as the first Marshall General of the Federal Road Safety Corp? This is a time when Icheoku wished that the only man Babangida could not compromise, Chief Gani Fawehinmi was still alive to show Babangida pepper; and tell him to his face, how much he is hated by Nigerians, many of who are now cowering in fear and cannot voice out how really they feel about him and disapprove of his devilish ambition? Cardinal Olubumi Okoje allegedly have a sex-tape of his with Babangida and may not be stepping forward in opposition, so we call on Reverend Matthew Kukah and others to lead the effort and compliment Bishop Ipinmoye crusade to stop Babangida cold. Other political leaders and leaders of thought in Nigeria should also start speaking up against the evil that was witnessed under the treacherous regime of Babangida and how that alone disqualifies him from the presidency in 2011? This is not such a time when silence is golden and the man in all Nigerians will certainly die if they remain silent in the face of the tyranny that is Babangida trying to seize power again in Nigeria for the second time. Enough Babangida, Nigerians have suffered enough in your hands and under your watch, so just go away!.

  1. BABANGIDA IS FOREVER POLITICALLY DAMAGED, BUT HE IS IN DENIAL ABOUT IT !

    In a futile attempt to cash in on Nigerians' known forgetfulness and predisposition to easily move on from the past; - a somewhat short-memory syndrome which afflicts Nigerians, and which have been appositely described as the 'day-after-the-event amnesia,' the devil incarnate and evil genius of Sharia Islamic Northern Nigeria, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, like the criminal he is, has denied that he ever disparaged the Nigerian youths? Luckily enough, BBC still has both the unedited, edited, hard and soft copies of the said interview wherein he denigrated Nigerian youths as being ill-prepared and incapable of holding fort in Nigeria political terrain? The same way he is in denial that he was not a maniacal despot during his hijack of Nigerian government and for eight years? What a jackass this Babangida is? Fortunately, this man's veracity for truth has long since been badly compromised by corruption; so Nigerians correctly understand that his unofficial middle name is 'a lying scumbag!' It was the same Babangida's over-bloated ego that spurred his devilish calculation that he could induce amnesia on Nigerians to forget all his past misdeeds and vote in a criminal president into office? This false sense of self, made him to announce that he is running for president in 2011, despite having a cupboard full of all manners of skeletons? Icheoku says, Babangida must be under the influence of some hallucinatory substances not to understand the deep-shit he is in, and not appreciate that he is forever, politically damaged beyond restoration in Nigeria.

    BABANGIDA 2011, AMERICA IS BACKING THE WRONG HORSE!

    Icheoku says the United States of America is on a collision course with Nigerians, following its perceived support and clamor for Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida's presidency in 2011? Babangida is the most hated man alive in Nigeria and except America wants to realize their intelligence assessment of a disintegrated Nigeria sooner than their 15 years initial estimate, then they need to back off and off-load Babangida immediately from their political gravy train! There is no way in hell, Babangida will win an election and rule Nigeria ever again; not after the tragedy of his past eight years of murderous military dictatorship! However one possible exception exist - he have to make due with a Nigeria without the entire Southern Nigeria and their oil; particularly the Yoruba South-West.


    NIGERIA DOES NOT NEED BABANGIDA - PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA?

    'Governments that respect the will of their people enjoy more prosperity, stability and success than those that don’t. Africa needs strong institutions, not strong men and history will side with the brave Africans taking control of their destiny, not those who use coups or other means to cling to power.' - President Barack Obama of America, while visiting Ghana. Icheoku says what is good for Ghana should also be good for Nigeria; so why the rumored America's support for Babangida's presidency in 2011? Babangida never respected the will of the people of Nigeria when he annulled MKO Abiola's election in June 12th 1993. Nigerians want to enjoy more prosperity, stability and success - Babangida is anathema to all of these good stuff. Babangida is a strong man who nobody in Nigeria really needs in place of strong institutions? Nigerians want America to join history and side with them as they take control of their destiny not to be ruled again by Babangida. Babangida is also a f**king coup plotter who clung to power for eight long hideous years until he frightfully stepped aside. Therefore, America must not unduly influence the imposition of Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida on Nigerians. Nigerians bravely say 'NO to an IBB's presidency in 2011', not in our name, oh America!
