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.

OLUSEGUN OBASANJO: SIMPLY A SHAMELESS TROUBLE MAKER.

ICHEOKU says for a man who once told the world of Nigerians that another man who has no First School Leaving Certificate was educated enough to be president, to suddenly now do an about turn and with boldface, complain to the same Nigerians that the man he helped make president is a complete failure who is not deserving of a second term, is completely ridiculous and ludicrous.  

What an insult on the collective sensibilities of Nigerians unless Olusegun Obasanjo already sees Nigerians as a bunch of imbeciles who are incapable of processing thoughts, making inferable deductions and conducting analytical logic. Possibly too, he also believes that Nigerians are too dumb to catch him always speaking from the both sides of his mouth; and are afflicted with a short memory syndrome, which make them incapable of recollecting the immediate past. Hence they cannot remember nor recall the role which he personally played in engineering the election of President Muhammadu Buhari, whose presidency, he now describes as a failure. A matter made worse because he failed or rather refused to acknowledge his role in bringing it about and also failed to apologize for doing it. This is a presidency that portended failure right from the start, but Olusegun Obasanjo went ahead anyway to help foist it on Nigeria, regardless.  

Olusegun Obasanjo, if he wants Nigerians to take his current prattling seriously, must first make a mea culpa for the damage which he inflicted on Nigerians with the election of President Muhammadu Buhari. He must apologize for his complicity in rehabilitating a nearly perpetual presidential reject, who failed on three previous tries, and putting such a proven mediocrity in Aso Rock. Thereafter, Obasanjo can regain his moral authority bona fides to address Nigerians on Buhari's alleged failed presidency; and the need to deny him an opportunity at a second term. But unfortunately, Obasanjo knows that he is addressing a motley crew, who like William Shakespeare's plebeians in Julius Caesar, only knows how to chorus AYE. Obasanjo also possibly believes that Nigerians lack the mental curiosity to question his motive or ask themselves what exactly in fact is actually driving the latest Obasanjo's "Buhari Must GO" pistons. 

As between him, Babangida and Buhari, they have been in power all together for over 33 years of Nigeria's 55 years of existence and the country is in such a dire straits. This man, Olusegun Obasanjo is responsible for the most part; yet some pathetic Nigerians are still clamoring for him and listening to him for guidance about moving the country forward. Just ask yourself how possible is it that the very root cause of the country's retardation is capable of being the solution for a progressive trajectory of the same country which he helped destroy. Something definitely does not sound nor seem right with the picture, hence Nigerians must be wary of the current Olusegun Obasanjo's shenanigans. ICHEOKU says it is indeed highly regrettable that Nigerians are this gullible and infantile in their adoration and adulation of the man from Ota, the notorious Ota Deity. Fie Obasanjo.
