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.

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

#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.

ANDREI KARLOV: RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO TURKEY ASSASSINATED.

Icheoku says how anyone is expected to guard and protect against this sort of madness is beyond any meaningful comprehension. A trained police officer, trained to protect and serve, turned out to be an Islamist terrorist who used his service  pistol to assassinate a foreign diplomat on his own country's soil. This is the height of betrayal, both to his country Turkey that trained and paid him; as well as the foreign dignitary on his own country Russia's diplomatic mission to the country. It does not make any sense neither is there anything to understand in the whole stupidity that saw a country's ambassador, the pseudo-president and chief representative of the country, being gunned down and so publicly. It is tantamount to assassinating a visiting country's president on the host country's soil which ordinarily translates to a declaration of war.

However, that the gruesome act was captured on video and is being so publicly aired on also defies the logic of self-censor and the argument of not empowering such terrorist or help provide them free media with which to propagate their warped ideology. What happened to the time-honored respectful practice of not showing such grotesque act which normally accompanies such acts? Where was the respect accorded to the ambassador, whose killing was so publicly aired as, well as his painful twitching of face as he was falling down to his death due to the barrage of hot leads piercing his backside? Why was the sound of the gunfire and also the madman's rants carried too. Why was this exception to the rule allowed in the case of the assassinated Russian ambassador to Turkey, whose assassination is being shown on the Internet as well as on some reputable websites and news organizations? Even the terrorist who pulled the trigger is being shown  as he sneaked up behind the ambassador, firmed his both hands and pulled the trigger, with the ambassador face of pain as he fell down dying. Worse all, why let his crooked  political message air or is there a concert here to try and provide justification for the heinous act of terrorist assassination of a country's ambassador? 

Regardless, Icheoku condemns in its entirety the callous murder of Andrei Karlov as both cowardly and unprecedented; and hereby joins numerous others calling for investigation into the incident. If as is being claimed the assassin was an off-duty police officer, what was he doing within the vicinity with a fully loaded service pistol? How did he manage to gain access to so close behind the ambassador and opened fire without any immediate retaliatory resistance. How did he know the itinerary of the ambassador and that the ambassador would be at the Art Gallery at the time he crept up to kill him. Further, why were there no security details protecting the ambassador, knowing fully well the fluidly nature of security in Turkey, especially in recent times? As far as Icheoku is concerned, the assassination is more than provocative and you wonder why the gunman was summarily killed instead of demobilizing him and taking him alive for interrogation. Now he is dead and possibly died with the conspiracy that led to his dastardly act; and you wonder if the president of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan is even safe himself, judging by such crazies as this sworn police officer Mevlut Mert Altintas, many of whom might still be merely bidding their own time to strike. 

It is definitely a new world out there which we all are facing to live and put up with. Things are increasingly falling apart and no one knows the point in which they will start to hilt. Like America's ambassador Stevens in Benghazi, Andrei Karlov was murdered by Islamist terrorist, admitted no one knows how widely spread his ilk are spread within the Turkish police and other armed security forces; begging the question, who is safe and who is next. How many Mevlut Mert Altintas are there still lurking around, clean shaved and dressed up in black suit like responsible citizens but who at any given opportunity will turn rogue and commit such a treasonous act. As things stand now in this treacherous world where things are barreling down the steep hill, only the swearing in of PE Donald John Trump and his joining forces with the Russian Vladimir and other coalition of the willing to seriously tackle these monsters who are creeping everywhere will restore hope to humanity. Any other attempt to fight these urchins with a divided focus will only spell disaster for a world already on the ropes. These islamist terrorists mad dogs need to be urgently reined in, either by summarily dispatch or long prison sentences. Enough of this continuing maddening global insecurity.  May the soul of Andrei Karlov rest in peace. Icheoku's condolence to his family and country. Adieu.
