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.

#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)

DANKWAMBO/WIKE 2019: THE ONLY PDP ASSURED ROUTE TO ASO ROCK.

ICHEOKU says an opportunity beckons for Nigerians, especially the youth of the country, to take back their country. It is so within grasp, that ICHEOKU can feel and taste it; but will "lazy" Nigerian youths take the bull by its horn and mission accomplish the objective. 

Unfortunately, they are busily occupied chasing shadows, with distracting lamentations about their plight under the Dracula of Daura, but without any concert on stopping the bleeding. They are wailing and pointing accusatory fingers at Aso Rock, but they have no working strategy to effectively go about sending the Dracula of Daura back to sender, to the people of the arid Daura, by supporting a duo who will indeed spell a revolutionary move. 

Nigeria's comatose state is real; a situation brought about by feckless lunacy of ineptitude, caused by some stone-age munchkins, who parade themselves as leaders, but who has no clue about what leadership really is all about. This band of humanoids who have successfully hijacked and bastardized Nigerians' common destiny must be stopped and now is the time to stop them. 

ICHEOKU is emphatic that short of drastically making a 180 degree turn, breaking the shackles of oppression, repression and corruption cannot be achieved and a people tired of living in bondage must rise up and take their country back. Luckily enough, two youthful, full of life, well educated personalities, with a can-do attitude are available, willing and able; and they are saying to Nigerians, please send us to go work for you. They are both governors and they have both managed Human Resources as well as economic resources of their various States and they can bring this experience to bear on the national stage. ICHEOKU therefore, heretofore, presents to the youths of Nigeria, Governors Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo and Nyesome Wike, of Gombe and Rivers States, as PDP presidential and vice presidential candidates for the Election 2019.

ICHEOKU says enough of the impetuosity of these old brigades and lack of counter offense by the youth of Nigeria. The old Methuselahs have had their fair shot at leadership and now headed to their respective graves, bus yield the center stage for the younger generation. They have no more incentive to make things better or in anyway improve the lot of Nigerians. Therefore, it is about time for the youth, whose future is still very much at stake, to, with their PVCs, says enough is enough and put an end to their misery. 

ICHEOKU knows such a takeover is possible, as it has happened in so many other countries of the world before, and can also flag mount itself in Nigeria. The only thing standing on the way is the indolence and thoughtless willful indifference of Nigerian youths, who lack focus and who allow themselves to be used by these band of old brigands, who does not know jack, but who has refused to yield the floor for those with superior knowledge and motive to improve the lot of Nigerians, to do what they can do best, take Nigeria to the next level. Governor Dankwambo and Governor Wike will do a fantastic job piloting the affairs of Nigeria and they can, working together, help realize the languishing dreams of millions of Nigerian youths, because they are part of them.

The time to end this lingering malaise in the hands of centurions who were born before Nigeria's independence has come and the time to hand over the reins of authority to able and competent hands, who were actually born Nigerians, post independence Nigeria, is NOW! The golden opportunity presented by the forthcoming Election 2019, with all the stars properly lined up in the constellation for Nigerians to make a real C-change, must not be missed. It must be  grabbed with both hands, with gratitude to the Almighty who made it possible and help put the rudders of the State in the hands of both Dankwambo and Wine and watch Nigeria sizzle. In this race for Aso Rock 2019, there is no other pair that truly represents the collective dream, desire and aspiration of the post independence generation of Nigerians, than the duo of Dankwambo and Wike.  In them, has most right thinking Nigerians found something which has been missing in all the past leaders and in them, have they decided to pitch their tent and have sworn to help push them across the finish line into Aso Rock in 2019. 

An opportunity has never lined up so well as this pair:- they are both youthful, well educated, with great poise, a can-do attitude, fighters of no mean repute, level headed, magisterial demeanor, the ability to mix well and mingle well, they can remain calm under oven pressure and they are not too afraid to fight the good fight, when needed. In them has some thoughtful Nigerians found the answer to the Buhari question and also the solution to the myriad of problems facing a Nigeria that is adrift and dangerously tethering at the edge of a precipitous cliff. Nigeria is not yet beyond salvage or too late to reel back and only this two persons, among the motley of scavengers waiting to devour Nigeria, led by the Crooked and Corrupt polygamist Abubakar Atiku, can it be get done. Governor Dankwambo and Governor Wike are the knights in shinning amour now charged in to help rescue Nigeria and give back the country to the youths, who owns it; and help breath back life giving oxygen to a Nigeria in coma.

A study has it that most abused people throughout the world are often somewhat complicit in their abuse. That somehow, by covert or overt conduct, especially through their docility, implicitly acquiesce in their abuse, wittingly or unwittingly. These abused people usually have some form of participation in their abuse in the hands of their abusers, and most times, they are oblivious of their enablement. Continuing, the study said that nobody would otherwise be abused if they are honed in, with their eyes clearly wide open and with the courage to say STOP. The late Dee Onunaka Samuel Mbakwe of the blessed memory, succinctly captured Nigerians death-inducing indifference, when he said that "oke adighi era ihe onye mu anya" (the rat does not eat a thing which belongs to someone who is wide awake.) But in Nigeria, it would appear that everyone is in an Adam-styled Eve making induced sleep and their sleep is now death or nearing the threshold of death; otherwise, why would they stay so hypnotized as the brazen rape of their country continues unabated. 

Such an affront to the general well being of the country, by these deviants, would not happen and if, not as repeatedly, if only Nigerian youths have a sense of self and conscious of the fact that their future is what these brigands are destroying with reckless abandon. Nigerian youths have been at the butt of the gun in Nigeria and for so long now, that they have somewhat lost their common destiny while staring vacantly and blankly and in stupor, as their future is fretted away. So, one would expect them to rise up now that another opportunity has presented itself to say enough, not any more; but will they? 2019 is definitely an opportunity to free themselves from the yokes of repeat abuse and take their country and their common destiny back and with their both hands. But instead, they are shouting themselves hoax with their lamentations of Sodom, concerning their abuse, but are not doing the needed needful, to free themselves from their yoked burden. 

Further, they are all agreed that the Dracula of Daura is a bad news and must be dispatched back to Daura, but are greatly disjointed on the best vehicle to achieve the objective. That some of them are even willing tools in the hands of these discredited leaders, including Abubakar Atiku, who regularly use them as thugs and political muscles to perpetually retain their stranglehold on them, only to later dump them by the wayside, is actually the biggest scandal here. When will Nigerians, especially the youths, who are the majority of the population, by concert and strategy, take their country back? But rather than cease such opportunity as 2019 presents, Nigerian youths are mortgaging their future by accepting misery sums as allowances from these fellas, for providing them with political muscles with which to rig themselves back into office and you wonder what is wrong with Nigerians. 

As the 2019 presidential election comes into focus, Nigerians are faced with choices as to who their next president will be and concomitantly, their vice president. Would the youths of Nigeria flock to two of their own fellow youths and empower them to lead them and their country out of their malaise and state of abandoned stupor. Can they seize on this opportunity to elect two youths, men born after independence, and who are highly qualified, literate and well prepared to lead from day one. Can Nigerian youths ever realize the urgency of the now which demands that Nigeria change course immediately and in order to survive and thrive. Can Nigerian youths realize that Nigeria has since been left behind in a world that has progressively moved into Artificial Intelligence era, while their grandpa President Muhammadu Buhari and his also grandpa Minister of Industries are busily manufacturing pencils, which are hardly used in this age of electronic pencils. Can Nigerian youths look hard to see that these old people leading them, who belong to old peoples homes, are simply analog and do not even know that a mouse is not the same thing as a rat. 

So how would Nigerian youths allow this pervasion to persist and continue to snatch their common fortune and destiny, when two people as supremely qualified and enlightened as Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo of Gombe State and Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State are present, as the real alternative solution to the Nigerian problem and the answer to the Buhari question. ICHEOKU says Dankwambo and Wike are exactly the ones we have been waiting for, looking for, and longing for; all these years, and both Dankwambo and Wike should be empowered to do what they will do best for a Nigeria in trouble and tethering on the edge. 

The question then remains are Nigerians bewitched so much not to see what many analytical and discerning minds are seeing in this two partners for progress of Nigeria. ICHEOKU says except Nigerians are simply too stupefied, unfocused, distracted and not mission driven to know any better, Dankwambo and Wike should be the next president and vice president of Nigeria, respectively, come 2019. Nigerians must do right for and by themselves; and not allow the usual suspects to once again derail their common destiny; and because of hunger, fall victims to the little money thrown their way to induce them and otherwise purchase their votes, until the next election. Opportunity calls to correct the drift and Dankwambo and Wake are the tools which God wants to use to fix Nigeria. 

Whatever you do Nigerians, please do not allow Abubakar Atiku to purchase your votes. You are not prostitutes who have a price. Please learn to say no to these temporary misery inducements and look at the long term goal and remain focused on it. Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result, is insanity defined. Nigerians cannot continuously allow their votes to be purchased and expect that those purchasers, who have already paid them upfront, would worry about them once elected. In the alternative, please do not complain tomorrow when the same cycle of abuse continues as is expected under the same old men in power. Nobody treats a paid whore with respect and so do not make yourselves rats, to avoid the wrath of cats. Now is the time to correct the anomaly of these many decades, Dr Dankwambo and Barrister Wike are the it; so lets send them to Aso Rock and watch them do great things for Nigeria. They will make Nigeria work again and they will make Nigerians hopeful again, so lets send them to Aso Rock. Vote Dankwambo/Wike2019. #DANKWAMBO4PRESIDENT2019.

The PDP must therefore not destroy the current zeal of Nigerians to effect a change in Aso Rock and/or frustrate the determination of its patriotic members who had remained loyal to the party and dedicated their lives towards its ideals. Party patriots who ensured that the party survived the turmoils of the mass defections of 2014/15, led hugely in part by Abubakar Atiku and Bukola Saraki, must be rewarded for their courage under pressure. The right and proper thing for the PDP to do is to reward those faithfuls and assure them that loyalty still matters, and that candor and character are still the hallmarks of manhood. The party must not pawn up the PDP's presidential ticket to any of those political grasshoppers, who are always hovering around and hopping about, looking for where the heavy lifting have been completed for them to swoop down and reap what they did not sow. Many of them have defected back to the PDP, including Abubakar Atiku, just to snatch the presidential ticket. ICHEOKU says but not so fast and not so soon following their grass-hopping adventure back in the party. To allow them to reap where they did not labor will amount to encouraging stupid idiocy and discouraging fidelity; and that is exactly what armed robbers do. 

Such thoughtless act will amount to lack of morals, philosophy and ideology by the party.. Therefore the PDP's presidential ticket, let Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo have and together with Team Wike, Make Nigeria Hopeful Again. They will be the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria since the 1973 Udoji Award. Such a generational golden opportunity must not be fretted away, no matter the circumstance or subterfuge or deception by Abubakar Atiku and cohorts. Both men have a can-do spirit, they have a clear eyed vision and they are eagle's eye focused, on how to turn Nigeria around and headed it to the right direction. 

There is something special about the Team DanWike2019; and hopefully Nigerians will come around to share this observation, accept them and help make them the next occupants of Aso Rock. They are both healthy and there will not be absentee president or indecisive Vice President who feels like he is a son of the other; or in any other way, be spending untoward amounts of time in a London hospital and/or convalescing home. Nigerians will be glad indeed if they objectively assess this guys and entrust them with their leadership come 2019. President Dankwambo and Vice President Wike are loading, are you on board? Please help elect Dr Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo and Barrister Ezenwo Nyesome Wike, president and Vice President of Nigeria in 2019. #ElectDankwambo/Wike2019.
