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

WORDS ON MARBLE.

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.

KANYE WEST: A PSYCHOTIC EMERGENCY IN THE HOUSE OF PABLO

Icheoku says every observer and keen watcher of Kanye West knows that all is not well with him. The life of Pablo character is under some weighty things which only him with the help of a shrink can unburden. He is a man under a tremendous burden which he sometimes acts out as tantrums and incendiary comments as well as actions. He is angry and sad at somethings which he expresses with his sudden outbursts. His latest rapid-fire stopping of several of his concerts halfway, followed with his total cancellation of all remaining concerts scheduled this year and taking a loss of over $10 million, says it all that all is not well with him. 

It did not start today as it has been a cry for help gone too far, either unnoticed or ignored; starting with the yanking of the microphone from Taylor Swift a few years ago.  Since the death of his ever doting and very protective mother to plastic surgery gone wrong, his greatest confidant and protector, the rapper has never truly fully recovered from her loss. The rapper and fashion designer has not been able to fully place a handle around his mental, psychology and emotional wellbeing. A situation compounded further and made even more worse by the choice of wife he made in Kim Kardashian, who is more obsessed with showing her naked body to the world than being a real caring wife who is interested in the welfare of her husband and family. 

Icheoku says such a dramatic hire-wire family as the Kardashians is not a wholesome environment for a man already on borderline to find himself in, still very much lonely amidst the general cacophony and  restlessness of never-ending 24/7 camera, lights and action. That Kanye West would have chosen differently if he were opportune at a do-over is highly probable; and had his mother not died, she would never have permitted his marriage to such a worldly Kim Kardashian as there is more to a wife or husband than mere money and fame or the ability to get someone pregnant or for someone to carry pregnancy to full gestation and give birth. Someone as hyper-active as Kanye West needed a much more mellower woman for a wife; a more traditional wife; a woman who would be a calming balm to him and who could step in and baby him whenever his restiveness goes into an overdrive. Kanye West is also too busy and so also is probably his wife Kim Kardashian and there is no real anchor in the family to ground him and take care of him after the day's hustle. 

Icheoku understands his recent lashing out at JayZ, who locked in in his choice of a wife, the more well grounded wifey Beyonce; who despite her fame and riches still knows what it takes to be a wife and mother. She has carried herself out very well and has by so doing, earned the respect and admiration of millions of people world-wide. Beyonce knows there is a line between business and family and hardly ever mix the two together and her life is not full of drama, unlike Kim Kardashian whose middle name might as well pass for dramatic. Icheoku says Kanye West will never recover from whatever he is going through as long as Kim Kardashian remains in his life and carrying on the way she is. The two do not compliment each other, rather, they are competing against each other and such is not good for any healthy marital relationship or any other relationship for that matter. Something has to yield or make way, particularly Kim stepping it down a little notch or they should just part ways in the interest of their health. 

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt just parted ways and so could and should any couple not in a healthy relationship, including Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Their world will not end and both will make a full recovery after a short time. A real wifey woman would have since found a solution to Kanye West's erratic and frequent outbursts; a real wifey woman would have since tempered down Kanye West certain impulsive behavior, including walking off concert stages and ranting about things that has nothing to do with his art. Icheoku only hopes that this his latest scare was only "exhaustion and severe sleep deprivation" as claimed by people around him and not something more scarier like real psychotic and total mental breakdown. May be it is about time, Kanye West and his family, Kim and their two kids, peeled off from the Kardashian clan and become somewhat independent in the true sense of it, starting with a private vacation somewhere in the Pacific for some down time retreat and stock taking. Icheoku wishes Kanye West a full recovery and prays he gets the rest as well as help he deserves and needs.
