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.

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.

MARIAH CAREY: WHEN A BILLIONAIRE CANNOT AFFORD A WOMAN?

Icheoku says once again the theory of relativity is called into question on how much a man necessarily needs to make or have in order to be able to support a woman? Icheoku used to know this man who said, if a woman is a good woman, she can make a meal out of mere vegetables, starch and bones and feed her family with that. But if a woman is a bad woman, give her one half of a cow, the family will still go to sleep hungry as she might either give the meat away or refuse to cook it because it was not enough? This is one such case where a woman proved impossible to keep or rather did not like or love the man but was in it for what she can gouge from him - binge spending. 

So many women have issues about what their husband makes or brings home and sometimes, complain that their man does not make enough to keep her happy and satisfied. Sometimes this complaining lingers on until it becomes a wedge in the marriage or relationship, often leading to divorce and breakups as the woman walks away complaining that the man can no long support her. For this type of women, the ever needy and ever wanting for more women who see their men as cash cow or ATM, how much exactly is really enough for them to be happy or at least agree that their man makes enough and is taking care of them adequately? If one hundred dollar is not enough, would one thousand dollars? If twenty thousand is not enough, would one hundred thousand? Icheoku says how much a man needs to bring home or make in order to keep or maintain a woman entirely depends on the woman in question; as any woman could decide to make due with what is available and in some cases like the latest Mariah Carey shenanigan with her former billionaire fiancee, no amount is ever enough. 

Query: if a billionaire with no apparent screaming money problem could cry out for help and ask for intervention by calling off an engagement to a woman, because the woman was going through his money like wildfire in a dried out summer grassland, what does this tell anyone. It says that no amount of money is actually enough to keep or afford a woman who is not there to help you grow; but to suck and drain you dry to the bone and separate you from your money. Icheoku says it actually is not how much a man makes or brings home that is important, but whether the woman loves him enough to want to make it work. Does the woman like the man enough that she is prepared to discipline herself enough to stretch whatever money he brings home or which the family have to meet the needs of the family? That Mariah Carey and her Australian beau, James Packer have gone their separate ways is now history but what put them asunder is the news - Mariah Carey utra-extravagant spending. When a man with such a deep pocket, about $3.6 billion, could not afford a woman, it spells utter ridiculousness. The proper narrative should be whether this particular  woman does in fact want to be taken care of, or was she a mere mercenary. 

Icheoku says even Bill Gates would have felt the heaviness of his pocket dropping low at the rate Mariah was spending James Packers' money: including renting a $17,000 a night private mansions, to flying in private jets; throwing private yacht parties, charter flights and a $10 million engagement ring; as well as indulging in other very expensive habits and vanities of a very high maintenance diva. Icheoku says luckily enough, James Packer still listens to his financial advisors and offloaded her immediately; otherwise, at the rate she was going through his money, he would have needed all the gold in Fort Knox to be able to keep, maintain and support her. The only good thing to come out of their breakup is that the matter conclusively rests the hitherto narrative that a man needs to first have money in order to find, keep and maintain a woman. The better narrative should be that a man needs to find a woman who really likes him enough, regardless of his financial standing, and together they can join forces to build whatever future they desire. Mariah Carey, definitely not a woman any responsible man should sweat a droplet for. She is not worth it; simply too expensive to keep. Also no other woman is worth it who wants to bring a man down by eating through his finances like it was going out of fashion. It would have been a case of 'behind the downfall of a billionaire was a woman,' instead of the usual 'behind every successful man there is a woman.' Good riddance.
