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

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.

BUHARI GOES TO CHURCH, ADEBOYE'S LAYING OF HAND ON JONATHAN OVER?

From right: GEN. Mohamodu Buhari, Presidential Candidate of All Progressives Congress[APC], Dame Abimbola Fashola, first lady of Lagos, Gov, Babatunde Fashola of Lagos state, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General overseer of RCCG, his wife Pastor Folu, Prof. Yemi Osibajo and his wife Dolapo, during the Lagos state Government 2015 Annual Thanksgiving service, held in Alausa, Lagos. Photo: Photo NIYI ADENIRANIcheoku says even Pastor Enoch Adebayo seems to have also shifted side in his support for a presidential candidate, from the embattled President Jonathan, whom he previously laid his hand on before the last election, to now Team Buhari? Query: based on what is on the grounds now, would the president still be similarly privileged of receiving the man of "God"s blessings this time around or is it move over Jonathan, please enter OsiBuhari? Icheoku says but wouldn't that be a sort of conflict of interest, blessing both OsiBuhari and President Jonathan, since both parties are seeking the same one presidency of Nigeria and Enoch Adeboye has to decide in whom he is more well pleased? Icheoku does not know about you, but any man would be similarly conflicted, with one of his own pastors on a ticket contesting with a person that used to be a favorite? So ask yourself if you are Pastor Adeboye, what would you do? 

Previously when it was the Islamist and President Jonathan, it was not difficult with the pastor deciding in whom to pitch his tent with. But with the curve ball of one of his own pastors, Yemi Osibanjo, thrown in the fray, any humanbeing, believing the pastor is still human, would certainly be internally conflicted deciding whether to abandon the ship of Jonathan to welcome the attachment that is one of his pastors to the ship of Buhari or choose to do nothing? But this election 2015, sitting on the fence or doing nothing is not on the ballot and will not cut it, as every Nigerian has a skin in the game. So it will not be out of place if the pastor has fallen in love with Team Buhari for nominating one of his men as a vice presidential candidate; and from now it is Kumbaya the Islamist and so long President Jonathan? Icheoku says imagine the incredible "love and affection" that was developed with the selection of Junior Pastor Yemi Osibanjo that Muhammadu Buhari, of all persons, was persuaded to attend and fellowship in a church service; and for the very first time in his entire fundamentalist Islamic Muslim life? 

Icheoku says if nothing else good comes out of this 2015 presidential election, the fact that Muhammadu Buhari was cajoled into entering a place where God and not Allah is worshipped, is one heck of a very bid deal and it is commendable. Who say "e no go betaa for Nigeria" with this kind of an earth-shattering do-over of the fundamentalist Islamic zealot and made him accept to honor an invitation to step inside a Christian church? However, provided Buhari was genuine in giving Osibanjo the benefit of the doubt finding out how they worship their own God, and that his intentions are good and not merely another one of his 'fake it until elected' maneuvers, Icheoku declares it is a new dawn in Nigeria in inter-religion relationship. Otherwise, who knows what the former head of state is hiding in the bosom of his heart including to just use any and every means of tactic and cunning, necessary to acquire power and then bare his infamous fangs? 

But if only there is a way to read the mind's construction by merely looking at one's face, except that William Shakespeare warned us that such is not possible. Icheoku asks are Nigerians going to soon see President Goodluck Jonathan knocking his head on the grounds at a Friday's Jumat Islamic prayers next? Icheoku says until it is over, it is not over and anything is still possible. So give it up to all the different shades of chameleon which politicians are capable of taking and can take just to hoodwink unsuspecting voters to cast their ballots their way. But hey, Nigerians are  waiting and watching to see who they will eventually fall in love on Valentine's day 2015. Icheoku adds, it is also good to see the almighty despot Buhari being humbled around in this manner and instead of barking out orders, he is surreptitiously crawling about begging for votes and asking to be allowed into power instead of forcibly armed robbing power in coup d'etat. And instead of   'WE DECREE this and that', including murdering three innocent Nigerians with a retroactive decree, now goes to church to seek votes. But 'dar is god ooooo!'
