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.

JUST THE FACT.

#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)

BUHARI'S TEARS OF A CLOWN, NEITHER GENUINE NOR REAL, SIMPLY THEATRICS.

Icheoku advises Nigerians to ignore the conman and his fake tears. A despot now desperately trying by all means possible, including shedding crocodile tears, to hoodwink Nigerians into believing that he has suddenly grown a soul and thereby enable him into Aso Rock? This is  a dictator with mountain-high baggage full of stinking skeletons who suddenly now wants Nigerians to develop amnesia that he once lorded it over them? Just don't mind him - his tears is not genuine, it is simply theatrics meant to confuse unsuspecting Nigerian electorates and thereby elicit undeserved sympathy from the gullible lot. Icheoku says, but not this time, Buhari.

Imam Muhammadu Buhari is forever politically damaged and irreparably too that no amount of his crocodile tears from his starry-eyes and cold heart of steel can wash him clean. Icheoku asks where was this piece of his humanity all these past 30 plus odd years he forcibly foist himself on the Nigerian people through a military coup against a democratically elected government of President Shehu Shagari in 1983? Why now Buhari, why now? Please Nigerians, just disregard Buhari's tears from hell as it belongs to a desperate old military dictator trying to con Nigerians that he has a soul. Please Nigerians do not fall for the show. 

Imam Muhammadu Buhari allegedly wept while delivering his presidential campaign's valedictory speech to Nigerians (Icheoku hopes this time is for real and it will sure be the last for this 'always ran presidential candidate). In the speech, the lean and mean Muhammadu Buhari said, "Ladies and gentlemen, in the life of any nation there comes a time when some people have to stand up and point out when things are moving off track, explain why they are going wrongly, demonstrate how they can be set aright, and work towards making a difference. For Nigeria, that time has come and it is now; and the people to stand up are you and me! Second, let me state categorically that I am not in this race to advance or protect any vested interest or group. We are seeking to replace a government that has done so much havoc to its people and their reputation; and we are determined, with your help, to uproot them completely. I have fought drift and purposelessness in this nation. I have fought corruption and indiscipline. I have fought indolence and the betrayal of trusts. I have fought the Nigerian civil war and struggled for the unity of this country in many other ways. I have had the fortune and privilege of managing national resources in various capacities—as a military commander, as a state governor, as a minister, as head of the Petroleum Trust Fund, and as the head of state of this great country. And in all that I have been and done, I have never touched a kobo of public funds."

In rebuttal Icheoku asks, where was Buhari when Sani Abacha ran amok in Nigeria terrorizing, maiming and killing innocent Nigerians; and drove so many political activists into forced exile? Did he speak up then, no! Did he stand up then, no! Instead he was enjoying the cozy chairmanship of the Petroleum Trust Fund to which Abacha appointed him and suddenly now he is pontificating that the PDP government is adrift and he is the 'NOW MESSIAH' to fix what was broken? Icheoku posits that never had Nigeria gone completely bunkers than during the regime of the midget of Kano, Sani Abacha, yet Buhari did not speak up nor stood up but maintained a conspiratory silence while things went completely haywire as Nigeria went to hell in hand's basket. Icheoku asks Buhari when Sani Abacha was doing havoc to Nigeria and Nigerians, where were you? This is a man who went to Kano's graveside of Sani Abacha and praised him as the most upright leader Nigeria has ever had and you wonder where an "upright" leader got the sum of $500 million dollars that was recovered from one of his personal accounts in Switzerland? Or may be Buhari selectively has his own version and definition of truth?

Imam Buhari also said that he is not in the race to protect any group or race. Icheoku says, really; yet his party's chairman is from the north, his party's national secretary is from the north, himself the party's presidential candidate is from the north too. So, what manner of a man without a regional agenda would so skewer his party's top positions to favor just one region in a country with such diverse geographical spread as Nigeria with many regions, nationalities and divides? Why did he not spread the offices and this is the same man who locked a vice president in prison while keeping his principal the president in a plush government guest house; yet he is claiming he is not parochial? Icheoku says never in the history of Nigeria has a man been as parochial, medieval and introverted as Buhari that his idea of Nigeria is a Nigeria populated by his Fulani Islamic folks only. Why did this man murder three innocent Nigerians - Barthlomeow Owo, Bernard Ogedengbe and Lawal Ojulope in cold blood, yet he is shedding tears? Does Buhari even have a soul?

Lastly Icheoku wants Buhari to get it right into his Sharia-skull that the absence of evidence is not tantamount to absence of crime; it is just that the crime has not been proved conclusively. If Buhari said he was not corrupt and did not take any kobo out of public tiller, where did he get the billions he is spending on his presidential campaign or did he mortgage Nigeria to some Middle Eastern countries bent on Islamizing Nigeria to secure their sponsorship of his campaign? if true what are the ramifications and does it include introducing their punitive Sharia law throughout Nigeria. The gist of the matter is that Buhari remains a despot, a tribalist, an Islamist, an extremist, an anti-democracy military dictator, a bigot and above all a vengeful zealot waiting to pick off on his supposed enemies. Nigerians challenges at this time is rather too humongous and needs a president who will be devoted to solving them rather than spend it hunting down his enemies with vengeance. Also Buhari has shed the blood of some innocent Nigerians before and will shed them again if empowered; so do not enable him  do not be an accomplice to his vengeful mission unaccomplished. Just disregard Buhari's tears,  apply the simple solution - DO NOT LET HIM; DO NOT VOTE FOR BUHARI.

    Presidential standard bearer of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), shed tears while presenting his speech on the occasion, marking the end of his presidential campaign at the International Conference Centre in Abuja yesterday.

    Buhari, who was honoured as the ‘Noble Father of Nigerian Youths and the Icon of Nigerian Democracy’ by the Nigerian Youths Organisation (NYO), regretted that the 12 years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration in the country had witnessed a painful and unforgettable look of dejection and despondency on the faces of Nigerians, adding that it had left Nigerians without hope of respite in the near future.

    Moved with emotion, Buhari, who continuously wiped away tears from his eyes as he read his speech, said that Saturday’s presidential election would be the last time he would offer himself for election into the office of the president.

    He reminded Nigerians that he never touched any kobo belonging to the public throughout his involvement in the management of public funds, challenging all the presidential candidates to make the same claim before the Nigerian public if their conscience was clear.
    Buhari said: “The suffering majority of Nigerian citizens have witnessed the systematic raping and pillaging of the country’s economy by parties and individuals without much thought for due process or care for tomorrow.”

    He noted that the process had turned a potentially-rich Nigeria into an international basket case, turning all golden opportunities in the country into an intractable problem. Buhari also said he was seeking to replace the PDP government because it has done so much havoc to the Nigerian people and their reputation, stressing that he joined the presidential race out of personal conviction and concern for the welfare of the Nigerian people.

    In his statement, the NYO chairman, Ebenezer Oyetakin, said t he youths of Nigeria decided to give the two awards to the former military head of state because the group has followed his proven integrity, as well as his antecedents since his engagements in public office as an incorrupt leader who has relentlessly insisted that democracy should be practiced constitutionally
