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.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

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

WORDS ON MARBLE.

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.

PDP, AFRICAN'S BIGGEST PARTY ABOUT TO SHRINK TO A SECTIONAL PARTY?

The PDP is gradually morphing into SNPP - Southern Nigerians Peoples Party? The board of trustees chairman of PDP Olusegun Obasanjo is a southerner; the chairman of PDP Nwodo is also a southerner and now President Goodluck Jonathan, another southerner, is trying to muscle himself into office as president in 2011? So, what about those northerners or are they not competent enough to hold any one of these key offices of the PDP? Icheoku says, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it might as well be a duck; so we call on President Jonathan to immediately redress this imbalance by not running in 2011, before the largest party in Africa implodes into a sectional party for Southern Nigerians only. Regional politician Obafemi Awolowo is long gone and Jonathan should not become another Awolowo as Nigerians do not want such sectionalists anymore, nor ever did. Let the north be fully represented in the PDP, give them back the presidency - the presidency is still theirs and should remain so in 2011. Equity and good conscience as well as honor in respecting agreements demand that too!


Please Mr. President, as you inch closer to your decision 2010 concerning the 2011 Nigeria's presidential election, Icheoku wants you to be courageous and stand firm against all those sycophants goading you to go against your party's standing rules and in the general interest of Nigeria. Please shun those sycophants' advice and avoid the temptation to covet what does not rightly belong to you. You presently hold the presidency of Nigeria in trust for and on behalf of northern Nigeria; and honor demands that you hand same back to them come 2011. They are the rightful beneficiary of the mandate which you currently hold on their behalf as a trustee and never as a beneficiary yourself. So it is imperative that you hand same back to them in the interest of justice, equity and fair play in 2011. Always remember that honorable men respect and keep agreements whether it is a gentleman's agreement or a written formal contract. Moreso, there is no way in hell that the south could fairly hold the PDP's board of trustees chairman, the party's Chairman and also the Presidency all at the same time at the exclusion of the entire North? Opportunity calls for you to transform yourself into a great statesman who shunned power for the interest of the party and the nation as well. The presidency will always be there and since you are relatively young, there is enough time for a come back later in the future; but not before 2011

  1. Ichoeku let me tell you somthing. I honestly do enjoy reading some of your oppinions atticles but certainly not this one about SNPP. and I think you should shut up your mouth since you dont know what we nigerians want in 2011 election. atleast not the northern nigeria ruling again after ruling 33yrs out of 50 yrs since our independence.
