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.

NIGERIA ANTI-GAY BILL, PRESIDENT JONATHAN MUST NOT SIGN IT.

Once again Icheoku calls on President Jonathan of Nigeria not to follow Senator David Mark in propagating his anti-humanity inclinations and therefore should not sign the anti-gay/anti-humanity discriminatory bill. Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Trans-genders are endangered species, although very vocal and powerful, with extensive reach into very high places, they should be protected in Nigeria and not suffered or outlawed. To do the latter will put Nigeria in a bad light world-wide and these people can make life tough for Nigeria if they choose to. Like the Jews, they must be protected at all cost and by all powers that be including the Nigerian government except for David Mark. Icheoku says a word is enough for the wise, believing that a PhD holder gets it.

The world's most prominent gayman Sir Elton John, was knighted by the Queen of England and he has access to so many corridors of power world-wide; and so does many other homosexual human-beings around the world such that taking them on, will spell disaster for the Nigerian government. A fact made worst because so many prominent men and women of power world over including in Nigeria, are gays and lesbians or sympathizers of their way of life, admitted they may still be in the closet; so antagonizing them is self-destructive and should be avoided at all cost. Icheoku hopes all those David Marks of Nigeria pushing this agenda to outlaw homosexualism in Nigeria have the best interest of President Goodluck Jonathan at heart; except it would appear they are corralling him into a very tight corner to discredit his government. A smart politician will see such bill recently passed by David Mark's senate as a booby trap and skirt around it with every nimbleness and dexterity he can summon.

Gaydom is not yet a Nigerian most pressing problem and at best, the David Marks of Nigeria can just look the other way by ignoring them; that way these special breed of humanity can enjoy their fundamental human rights including to marry or partner with whomever they choose without unneeded additional inhibition. of a legislation declaring them less human to freely chose who to tango with. Legislation are made to protect a threatened group and not to further complicate their plight in a society that sees and treats them as an aberration or taboo. Like every other minority group, LGBT is a disparate group that needs the protection of the Nigerian state but not their added scolding. Nigeria's problem is corruption and that is what the world expect David Mark to be outlawing and making illegal and not a God's created human-being right to love whoever or whatever is the object of his or her affection. What the world needs is love and not a David Mark sitting in judgment over who is or is not a correct human-being and deciding by fiat who they should fall in love with.

Gaydom is as old as humanity and is long entrenched in Nigeria; so the David Marks of Nigeria should just get over it as some of their friends might equally be gay and even to their knowledge; admitted they would not owe up to it. These people are born this way and it is not a choice but a function of genetic code which makes them go that way - not straight. As if the message that discrimination against LGBT people would not be tolerated is not yet loud enough already for Nigerian government to hear, the United States of America has now attached conditional acceptance of any country's gay population to its foreign aids and Icheoku hopes that Nigeria's President Jonathan is listening. As contained in the United States government latest memo, "The struggle to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons is a global challenge, and one that is central to the United States' commitment to promoting human rights." Henceforth any foreign aids shall be disbursed with this as a guiding philosophy.'

Icheoku says the cost benefit analysis is skewered against Nigeria which benefits enormously from such foreign aids and must not act not-smart in order to not disturb the cart. Moreso, since presidents in Nigeria are not elected as in other countries where they must pass some eligibility and electability test by marketing themselves to the electorates, the Nigerian president have nothing to worry about in not signing this bill. He can just ignore it or let it accumulate dust until he serves out his term and let subsequent president worry about it; afterall former president Obasanjo kicked the signing of the FOI bill down the road and waited it out. Moreover, President Jonathan said he is going to be a one-term president and so has nothing to be afraid of such as not being elected to a second term because he did not sign a law to discriminate against a section of his country men and women who just go different direction. Therefore Icheoku calls on President Goodluck Jonathan not to sign David Mark's anti gay/anti-humanity bill that seeks to punish and discriminate against people born that way.
