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.

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.

MULLAH HAMID KARZAI, NOT A GOOD AND TRUSTED PARTNER FOR VICTORY?

Icheoku would not have bothered or even believed this story except that the man in Kabul has lately been behaving badly; albeit in a treacherous manner and thumbing his nose at the West? The West whose blood and treasure made it possible in the first place for him to be enjoying office as president of Afghanistan; he is now obtrusively disparaging?
Now he has refused to remain presidential and diplomatic in discussing matters of disagreement with the world including the United Nations and America? Instead, he is running his mouth like a street urchin discussing disagreements he felt he have with the past elections in his country on the pages of newspapers and other media; accusing the West of rigging the elections? And raving the tempo of his political disputation with the West one decibel further, President Hamid Karzai have threatened to join the Taliban? Were today April 1st, Icheoku would have waved it off as an April Fool's joke; but hey today is April 6th, and this is not such a joke or any other; and like in the Mayor of Casterbridge, this otherwise sick joke is now too often that someone needs to call it off and immediately.

According to the narrative, President Hamid Karzai does not want to combat corruption, reform the electoral laws or seriously reach out to Taliban insurgents towards obtaining a lasting peace in Afghanistan; and would rather join the Taliban than do this if pushed any further? Icheoku says, now the international community knows where the heart of President Hamid Karzai really lies, - with the people who oppose girls' education, beat up women for the simplest reason of leaving their houses without a male chaperon, object to women's participation in any public affairs including politics, and whose very strict interpretation of conservative Islamic and tribal laws highly short-changes women of Afghanistan. This is the man running Afghanistan and on whose behalf America and the world have invested so much in blood and treasure only to get this treachery in return? For the fact that he even mouthed the abominable words is by itself sufficient to withdraw every and all support he is directly getting from the West and have him removed from office or at worst, encourage the return of the Talibans to power?
How dare President Hamid Karzai even entertain this idea of joining the Taliban, whether as a rude joke or direct empty threat to have his way? How can a president of a country threaten to join the enemy of the country for which so much have been lost trying to over-run? Icheoku says, such a statement of intent by President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan is dangerous and capable of demoralizing the brave men and women daily putting their lives on the line to protect and save Afghanistan from a catastrophic ruin! Such statement is capable of forcing them to question the essence of their mission and to ask, what then is the use since the man they are helping to sustain in office have no scruples sleeping with the enemy and in a heart-beat?
Is it possible that President Hamid Karzai have been bought over by Ahmanejad's Tehran and is now acting a script of Tehran in showing disrespect to America? Does the West still have a strong and reliable partner in a man who would have Ahmadejad come into his country to harangue the United States, accusing it of a sundry list of things while the same United States is sweating to give Afghans a country where they can live freely? President Hamid Karzai's utterance is unacceptable and he should be made to recant same and unconditionally; failing which his government should be allowed to just fall and make way for a more effective partner to emerge. If it means getting rid of him, so be it; but it does not make sense that this disguised 'Mullah' should be allowed to continue running his mouth in this way, disparaging the world and rubbishing all our effort at sustaining his government and helping his country to survive. His threat to join forces with the enemy Taliban is simply put, treasonable; and he should be made to pay a prize? He is no longer a reliable partner for victory or the long term mission-objective in Afghanistan and should therefore be let go!
It is instructive to note that America and its allies hand-picked this previously unknown quantum, nervous, erratic and unpredictable president, to lead Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban nearly nine years ago and he just began his election-fraud tainted second five-year term only four months ago.
Icheoku says, away with Mullah Hamid Karzai!
