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.

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.

DUBEM OKAFOR, ANOTHER NIGERIAN MAN KILLS HIS WIFE IN THE USA!

It has happened again as another Nigerian man in America has killed his wife. At the rate these frustrated Nigerian men are killing their wives in the United States of America, Icheoku wonders if it is still a worthwhile venture getting into all these arranged 'FEDEXED' marriages, importing young women for wives from motherland.
A 64 year old man after decades of taking it on the chin in America; dealt by the cruel hand of fate that is sometimes life in America, including all the Akaataa troubles and White people, who derive joy in making them feel very little; then goes back home to Nigeria at such an advanced old age to take a young woman, half his age, as a wife. He comes back to the States only to find out that he has just wasted his time investing on such a mirage for a wife as the woman walks away from him into a younger man's arm. What does anyone expect of such a distraught man who now felt used by the Nigerian girl who merely said yes to his proposal just to use him as a passport to the God's own country?
Usually these girls, after getting themselves settled down and peeked in the ways of America, assisted by other American-Nigerian women home-wreckers, abound and preying on such newly arrived imported wives, decide that their over-stayed in America Nigerian husbands, who imported them from Nigeria are probably now too old and out-fashioned for them. Most times they take a walk into another younger man's home, abandoning their mentors to their cold-nights alone, thinking and wondering whether his mission to America was worth anything afterall. But this time, this man was not going to take any of it; and at 64, have little to nothing to look forward to in life anymore. What did he do, he settled for a murder-suicide and lured the estranged former wife to his sister's place under the guise of a possible peace talk. But lo and behold, unbeknownst to the wife, danger was lurking around her sisters home; as the husband pulled out a gun and pumped some hot leads into her, dispatching her to the world beyond. The killer-husband then turned the gun on himself and with one single shot to his temple, his lifeless body slumped to the ground and we are talking here, of a late professor of English and Literature and a lecturer at an American University.
Professor Chukwudubem A. Okafor 64; of English department Kutztown University Pennsylvania shot and killed his estranged wife, Cheryl Okafor, 37 before turning the gun on himself in an apparent murder-suicide. The Berk County Pennsylvania coroner confirmed the death and identities of the deceased, which tragedy occurred at 300 block of Pear Street, Reading Pennsylvania, home of the sister-inlaw. The couple from their names are either from Delta State or Anambra State; and as soon as we can confirm their hometowns, we shall avail same to our visitors.
Once again, Icheoku condemns this act of violence by a frustrated Nigerian man in the USA who became despondent that his trophy imported wife was leaving him. We do not care what underlying factors that might have lead to the tragedy, as no circumstances ever justifies the taking of the life of another person. Icheoku begs of Nigerian men in the United States of America to please stop this nonsensical act of taking your wife's life - nothing is worth it; and even if she decides to take a walk after your investments on her seeing her through her nursing training program, just let it go and try as hard as it might be to just move on. It is called cutting down on your losses. Worst comes to worst, just pack up and retire back to Nigeria where you can take as many wives as possible if that is all you desire or at least to live out the rest of your life with less of your "American-Nurse" troubles. Our hearts goes out to the families of both deceased and let us hope those thinking about it and who are still yet to join the ignoble club of Nigerian men wife killers club, could learn some lesson in this and have a change of mind. IT IS JUST NOT WORTH IT.

  1. Cheryl Okafor was not of a wife for hire from Nigeria. She was born in Jamaica and had been living in the United States since she was nine years old. She was an educator, an artist and active in community outreach programs. Get your facts straight!

  2. It's difficult to take seriously your calls to end wife killing when you blame the woman in your entire post. Listing the reasons why the man was "frustrated" sound like excuses for his unforgivable behavior. The couple had three children together, so I hardly think she was just using him for a green card, but even if she had, that certainly does not justify murder. What about all the love and support of the man, and hard work a woman puts into a relationship? Your final comment about taking as many wives as possible certainly does not seem like you value the contribution of women to relationships and to societies, but that you see women indeed, as trophies to be collected. Don't be patronizing by saying your hearts go out to both families, when you demonize Ms. Okafor in your entire post.

  3. You also slander the white. Yet you can besure it was a white who gave him the big job. And looked beyond his color. Unlike you. Everyone dislikes Nigerians. Particularily other Africans. Wonder why?
