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.

ISIOMA DANIEL, A NIGERIA SALMAN RUSHDIE!

Icheokudotcom celebrates one of the leading voices of hope for moribund Nigeria! Her name, Isioma Daniel and for standing up against the religious zealots and fanatics of Northern Nigeria Islamic world, we acknowledge her as Icheoku favorite person of the time.
In 2003, the proposed hosting of Miss World competition in Nigeria was cancelled after all the event organisers and participants had arrived in Nigeria for the pageant. The reason was that the fanatics of Northern Nigeria unleashed mayhem and anarchy in the Nigeria, protesting what their ignorance led them to believe was anti their religion. The Northerners caused wide-spread violent riots across the northern Nigeria, that left over two hundred (200) people dead, one thousand (1,000) injured and about eleven thousand (11,000) homeless.
It took the brave voice of Ms. Isioma Daniel, a Nigerian journalist, to really question the Muslim discontent with the "indecency" of the pageant". Muslims who marry twelve year old girls, rape women and stone some of them to death for becoming pregnant while the man who raped them are hailed as heroes? Yet they cannot stand pretty ladies in bikinis? According to this affable pretty, the Muslims thought it was immoral to bring ninety-two (92) women to Nigeria and ask them to revel in "vanity". Asking rhetorically, what would their Mohamed do or think? In all honesty, he would probably have chosen a wife from one of them". That was the "offense" for which her life has changed as a result of a death sentence passed on her by some very religious lunatics who could care less if this lady was a Muslim and amenable to the Muslim code of speech and in utter disregard to her freedom of speech. A Fatwa was issued out on the journalist by the Zamfara State governor who authorises a reward for the head of Isioma Daniel. According to this zealot, like Salman Rushdie, the blood of Isioma Daniel can be shed; stating that it is abiding on all Muslims wherever they are, to consider the killing of the writer as a religious duty."
Icheokudotcom asks which good religion authorizes the killing of a human-being for simply expressing a viewpoint especially one that is very obvious? It is not a godly one as thou shall not kill is a grand injunction of God.! Be that as it may, we hereby honor this great lady for her bravery and declare her a person with great future. To Isioma Daniel, wherever you may be safely hiding, just know that so many descent Nigerians share in your pain of being declared a person non grata in your country by some crazed lunatic governor of Zamfara State.
PSA: Isioma Daniel or anybody reading this who knows her should tell her to contact us for her award for bravery!
