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.

WIKE'S HONOR OF GOWON, MISGUIDED AND IMBECILIC.

Icheoku says the recent honoring of the genocidal Yakubu Jackal Gowon by Rivers States Governor Nyesom Wike, whereby he renamed a street and a stadium after Gowon, is most regrettable. It is a very pathetic move, made by an unthinking buffoon, who is either very ignorant of history or did not give a damn nor care enough to understand the ramifications of his action. How could any sane man honor a man who caused so much pain and sorrow to a people, whose roots and names, Governor Wike shares; admitted that he removed the "N" in his last name and instead of "Nwike", settled for "Wike"? Icheoku asks how could a man, who is supposedly acquiesced of the dark place reserved for Yakubu Gowon among the people formerly of Biafra, consider honoring such a vampire who drove utmost joy in watching millions of Biafran women and children starved to death? 

How could any God-fearing man honor Yakubu Gowon after the depravity that was his twenty pounds payment to returning Biafrans despite whatever they previously had in their bank accounts? How could any man who does not think through his anus, ever consider honoring a bloodhound like Yakubu Gowon who declared no victor and no vanquished, yet treated returning Biafrans in this manner? The same wild dog bandied the sloganeering three Rs of reconciliation,  rehabilitation and reconstruction; but went on to implement his reconstruction in Lagos, which did not witness the war pillaging; instead of the theatre of the war that was the Southeast? This is the man Nyesom Wike honored and Icheoku asks for what or is Wike telling all those hurt by Gowon to go fuck themselves?

Icheoku decries this as indeed regrettable that the fat thuggish man in Rivers State's government house PortHarcourt did not think through his action, otherwise he would have seized himself of its lack of merit. Icheoku queries, where else in Nigeria has that name Yakubu Gowon been associated with anything joyful or worth celebrating? What is there to celebrate of such an animal, who after causing all those deaths in Biafra, went ahead to plan a coup that killed Muritala Mohammed? A Gowon,  who but for President Shehu Shagari's amnesty would still have remained a persona non grata in Nigeria, exiled in the United Kingdom. But no, Nyesom Wike wants some cheap publicity and he renamed old Aba Road as well as former Liberation Stadium after this hyena. 

Icheoku hereby categorically condemn the action of Governor Nyesom Wike as very insensitive and not carefully thought through. How does Wike reconcile his action to the over three million Biafran lives took by Yakubu Gowon? So what if Gowon created Rivers States which was not out of his love for the people of Ikwerre but done in his failed attempt to box in and completely emasculate Ndigbo and cut them completely off from the Atlantic Ocean, as a land locked entity. But Gowon forgot that Biafra was not just only an Igbo effort as Philip Effiong was not Igbo, neither were other minorities of the then Eastern region who participated in the Biafran effort of self determination. Hopefully a more thinking governor would some day emerge in Rivers State to redress this slap on the face and erase this Berom jackal's name from the two landmarks. Governor Nyesom Wike, Icheoku says, you are a disgrace and disappointment to Biafra and you should be ashamed of your deplorable action.
