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

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.

JONATHAN EXPLODES, CALLS BUHARI AND TINUBU TINY MEN?




Icheoku says surprisingly the often perceived cold, very calculating and silent demeanor of President Jonathan might afterall be masking a steely resolve inside and underneath the presented surface. Icheoku, although not a huge fan, has always wondered why the president does not blow hot and use the powers of his office to OBJ all those critics of his, many of whose criticism often lack foundational basis and are mostly agenda-driven, unfounded, unwarranted, unreasonable and irrational. Icheoku was forced severally in the past to ascribe the president's near-docile attitude in the face of very virulent attacks by certain Nigerians as bothering on timidity; but you wonder how a timid man could possibly have warmed his way right into Aso Rock? Icheoku says it takes a very calculating and deft operator to wriggle his way through and secure a presidency of a any country, including that of Nigeria. Therefore President Jonathan is by no means a timid person and has now shown that he is not intimidated by anyone including Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu presently yoked together in their common unholy marriage pursuant to an Islamic agenda in Nigeria. 


Peradventure, the president's often passive attitude may be a ruse employed to deceive his detractors while providing him a cover for his lion's heart. Now the president has stepped forward to let it be known that he is not afraid of battling anyone including his mentor Baba Iyabo as well as the former military dictator Buhari and his newly found BFF Bola Tinubu. Just listen to the president dismissively consign Buhari and Tinubu into the garbage bin of political irrelevance as little men that should rather be ignored than engaged. In short the president called Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu mere barking Chihuahuas that should be ignored and not acknowledged even by swathing. In the words of the president, "If you listen to those of us who are politicians, from all the political parties, the way we talk, some of us see as if Nigeria is a personal bedroom they have control over. If you read the papers, listen to the radio and television, some of us even see ourselves as if we are tin gods. We intimidate, we threaten, we show hate in our communication. These are not the virtues of great men. They are certainly the vices of tiny men."

Icheoku says the message has been formally communicated by the president and Nigerians now have a fuller understanding that all the fire-spitting antics hitherto employed by Bola Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari were meant to intimidate, threaten and indeed show their hateful nature. Nigerians know which politician has been threatening thunder and brimstone ever since he was three times summarily rejected at the polls by Nigerians and the his co-traveller who has been traversing the land in search of national political relevance and throwing bombs along the way. Icheoku says with this remark, Jonathan has formally put Nigerians on notice that he is not perturbed nor intimidated by the Bola Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari gang-ups and pretensions within the Nigerian political landscape. Needless to add that the president also called Buhari out for what he is, using his real name - A DICTATOR; and reminded Buhari how he railroaded a lot of Nigerians into prison without cause. The president also used such words as "repressive and oppressive" to truly describe Buhari's first missionary (Islamic) journey into power. The president also dismissed Bola Tinubu as simply "EXTREMELY NOTORIOUS"; stating further that Tinubu is nothing more than a paper weight basking in his notoriety to seek political relevance. 

On a hindsight, Icheoku says it must be because the president considers the duo of Buhari and Tinubu as trivial nuisance that founded his lack of action in going full throttle on them in the fashion of Olusegun Obasanjo who drove all his opposition out and under. Why waste valuable time responding to two men who does not have any credibility left with Nigerians, the president must have concluded. Way to go Jonathan, Icheoku is impressed and millions of other decent Nigerians are too. We are all fired-up and waiting for the fireworks to really begin. Mr President, show them pepper, win that 2015 for the SOUTHERN NIGERIAN GLORY.
