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.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

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

WORDS ON MARBLE.

"Birth is agony. Life is hard. Death is cruel." - Japanese pithy.

REPENT OR PERISH - POPE.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is not ordained by God, therefore same sex marriage cannot be blessed by the church - Pope Francis.

CANCEL CULTURE IS CORROSIVE.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


MAGA LIVES ON: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER!

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.

NIGERIA ELECTION 2011, HOW THE BATTLE WILL BE DECIDED OR WON AND LOST.

Icheoku says Imam Muhammdu Buhari will win the northwest Sharia states of Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and Kano states. Bola Tinubu's mask of Zorro Nuhu Ribadu's ACN will win Lagos, Ekiti, Edo and Osun states. Shekarau and his ANPP will likely win Bornu and Yobe states; while President Goodluck Jonathan will most likely win Bayelsa, Rivers, Enugu, Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara, Niger, Plateau, Benue, Kogi, Adamawa, Taraba and Nasarawa states. Bauchi, Gombe, Jigawa, Oyo and Kaduna states are likely toss-up states which could swing in anybody's direction. 


Geographically and statistically speaking, PDP Goodluck Jonathan will win more states than the rest of the presidential candidates to clinch and retain the presidency; and the numerical strength of his win will encompass a broader swath of the country, spreading throughout five out of the six zones. Although President Jonathan was not Icheoku's first or best choice from the beginning, but among the present pack of hyenas, he is still the lamb that will not hurt Nigerians or who will hurt Nigerians the least. There is more safety in his presidency than in that the novitiate Nuhu Ribadu who is standing in for Bola Tinubu, the Mr-Nobody Shekarau and the bloody butcher of Daura, Muhammadu Buhari. 


The reason the political battle has not been conclusively determined this far is the civil way Jonathan is pursuing the presidency and not letting his attack-dogs turn loose on Buhari and his supposed front runner status. A man with such garbage as Buhari should ordinarily and in a civilized society not be running for any elective office, but in a land where anything goes, he is pretending to be the it. Yet this man has not explained to Nigerians his actions bothering on criminality while serving as the head of a military junta that overthrew a duly elected President Shehu Shagari government from office in the eighties. Anyway, the election is for Jonathan to lose and with little effort and some of his proverbial goodluck karma, he shall sail through; but until then never say never. Admitted that Nigerians are mad at the PDP especially the Obasanjo experience and Vincent Ogbulafor's boisterous assertion that PDP shall rule Nigeria for 60 years? Nigerians are advised to smarten up and wise up in this election and vote their conscience - JUST ANYBODY BUT BUHARI. Do not be fooled twice - first by Obasanjo and now by a contriving Buhari, as military dictators are impervious to superior arguments and/or advise hence cannot move the country forward carrying the people along.
