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.

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.

MIYETTI ALLAH'S HOSTILE TAKE OVER, IN FULL GEAR?

Icheoku says behold the soldiers of Miyetti Allah, lined up and ready to take their country back, regardless of what any person thinks or feels about their born to rule mentality. As far as they are concerned, it must be their way or the highway and any Nigerian who does not like it must be branded "dog and baboon" whose blood would be used to water the grounds? Icheoku says must Nigerians continue to always tolerate the idiotic mindset that fuels such attitude of exclusive entitlement to power? 

Icheoku has nothing against a viable opposition taking over in 2015 and indeed, actually is in support of such earth-shaking development to shake the PDP out of its doldrums; but can't the APC give Nigerians a viable alternative they can live with? Icheoku says sixteen years is such a long time for one party to be in power that they have become somewhat complacent and no longer working hard enough to earn their continuing support by Nigerians to remain in power. If Icheoku has its way, no party would be in power for more than two terms of eight years, and in that way Nigerians would be better exposed to which party is indeed better for them.  

But when the PDP has remained in power for this long, with some of their top guns boasting that they would be in power for sixty years, what option do Nigerians really have to check what indeed works better for them or what others have to offer? But unfortunately, the APC is not working hard enough to really give Nigerians this elusive option, to enable Nigerians indeed decide, because of the candidate they are pushing and trying to force down on Nigerians. Icheoku says that BUHARI is not the answer to the question, who is a Jonathan's alternative? 

Why must it be another North-westerner or even a Muslim or even a Hausa/Fulani oligarch for that matter? Shagari is from there; Buhari is from there; Abacha is from there; Yar'Adua is from there; and technically, Babangida and Abdulsalam are from there, being both Hausa/Fulani Muslims? Icheoku asks why must the North be only North-westerners - what about Northeast as well as North-central? The APC have other potential candidates who are not from the usual Northwest belt, who are equally Northerners and even non Muslims. They also have potential candidates who are even from the same South-south belt as the man they are planning his ouster from Aso Rock. So a well-meaning APC, would strategically go out of its way to give Nigerians a candidate from the same zone as the man they want to remove. That way, they would really present Nigerians a clear choice, devoid of the religious, sectional and tribal permutations that would determine voting pattern in 2015, in the unfortunate event the inevitable Buhari candidacy crystallizes. 

Anyway, it is for Nigerians to decide whether these mean faces is what is required now in the land or would they prefer some happier faces leading the way. As for Icheoku, we certainly desire some happy smiling faces in a country that is already saddled with too much pain and anguish as a result of the Boko Haram continuing menace. Look at El Rufai and the man he once criticized for not retiring and leaving the turf for younger generation, Muhammadu Buhari's faces and you wonder why they are this melancholic? Icheoku says governing Nigeria is not synonymous as performing funeral rites, so undertakers need not apply. 

Icheoku pleads with Bola Tinubu to please spare Nigeria this unsmiling sadist as today's Nigeria no longer needs such a demagogue as its leader. No matter what, there is always a reason to be optimistic that there is some good still left in life to warrant a happy face; but long drawn faces, who needs that in Aso Rock? Please APC delegates, Just Say NO To Buhari; reject him as your presidential candidate; at worst, the eminently corrupt Abubakar Atiku would suffice, at least he smiles and radiates some hope! To APC delegates that would soon gather in Lagos to choose their presidential candidate, Icheoku pleads that the future and fate of Nigeria is in your hands, so on December 10, please use your ballots wisely.
