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.

ELIZABETH EDWARDS, DIES BROKENHEARTED AND OF CANCER!

She was a typical southern loving wife, who adored to an almost worshipping state of her former husband of 31 years, former presidential aspirant and former Senator, John Edwards; until his lecherous ways took the light out of their blissful long marriage. John Edward disgracefully tried to deny an affair with a conniving marriage-wrecker mistress and video-grapher, Rielle Hunter, who was spread-eagling herself for the presidential aspirant while his ill-fated campaign for Democratic Party's presidential flag-bearer position lasted. Meanwhile this was as his loving wife was installmentally being wasted away by a debilitating terminal cancer of the breast which later metathesized; but she still stood by her man in defense of his honor and the marital vows of fidelity made to her? 
An ever trusting wife, she strongly rose in defence of her husband believing they were so much invested in one another for him to do what was being alleged and emphatic that her 'Dear John' can do no wrong with her emotional well-being. Boy was she very much disappointed and totally devastated as the contriving  John Edwards later swallowed his vomit and finally admitted to the alleged affair with his campaign video-grapher; admitting to a bamboozled world and dumbfounded Elizabeth that he had been guilty of marital infidelity and taken several chunks of the home-wrecker's forbidden apple. To say that the heart-wrenching news of her philandering husband did not help her with her battle with cancer is to say the least, both gratuitous and repetitious.  She was completely gutted from the inside out and the cancer which she has been battling gallantly for several years started gaining an upper hand; and her effort remained downhill primed until the sad news that was her final breath. 
Ecclesiastes 1:3 harps 'vanity of all vanities, all is vanity; and today the former attorney, wife of a senator, wife of a presidential aspirant, an author, a millionaire, mother and home-maker of a multi-million dollar family mansion who was the air in the lungs her husband breathed, is no more; dead at 61 of cancer and a broken-heart related complications. They had nothing much when they met and marked their first date at a McDonald's; but Elizabeth died well healed together with her former husband John. Icheoku says, but for her husband John Edwards cheating on her and fathering a child outside wedlock, may be Elizabeth would have lasted a little longer than the six-years preceding her today's death. She would have remained buoyed by the knowledge of an undying and undivided love and support of her husband in throwing at least few more days of punches at the invading cancer. But a distraught and emotionally ravaged woman faced with monstrosity of a terminal condition might have been praying silently for the good Lord to call her home sooner, to an eternal rest both from the cancer and from being constantly reminded by her brain that her husband John Edwards cheated on her and fathered a baby outside their marriage. Icheoku contends that ironically, Elizabeth would be happier in death; especially since her afflicting form of cancer was incurable and no amount of therapy could wash away the hurt-feeling caused by John's untamed animal, resident of his unzipped fly. 
Their marriage did not survive his cheating and both parties consented to a divorce; so Elizabeth Edwards died an unhappy, sick and in-pain divorcee, a cheated-on ex-wife. Icheoku says, may her hurting soul hurt no more and now rest in the Lord's peace; where no cheating husband can ever cause her any more sorrows or heart-thumping. To the mourner in chief John Edwards, Icheoku asks, how do you feel with your Elizabeth now gone forever; and knowing that she died partly of a broken-heart, caused by your amorous ways and an unforgiven adultery. Anyway, accept Icheoku's condolences. Elizabeth Edwards is survived by her three children Cate, Emma-Claire and Jack Edwards and also her estranged husband John Edwards. 
FYI:- President Obama's condolence message said of late Elizabeth Edwards, "In her life, Elizabeth Edwards knew tragedy and pain, many others would have turned inward; many others in the face of such adversity would have given up. But through all that she endured, Elizabeth revealed a kind of fortitude and grace that will long remain a source of inspiration. Our country has benefited from the voice she gave to the cause of building a society that lifts up all those left behind."  Also permit Icheoku to republish here as addendum, Elizabeth's own final goodbye message to the world upon learning that her final hour is near:- "The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered, we know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human. But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful."  So on both remarkable and well-appropriated commentaries, Icheoku wish to conclude our obituary on the late Elizabeth Edwards, adieu Madame Elizabeth Edwards!
