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

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

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.

AKWA IBOM STATE OF NIGERIA, CHILD WITCHES!

Child witches of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria is the latest episode in the unending saga of tragedies pervading Nigeria. Imagine innocent children, some as young as two months old, being branded witches and wizards and tortured for allegedly being "responsible" for the misfortunes of their parents. They are tortured to confess their culpability in witchcraft and wizardry, abandoned, maimed and sometimes even killed for this superstition. It is unbelievable but true of this primitive Akwa Ibom state in Nigeria and pictures do not lie that in this 21st century, people of Akwa Ibom State are still so primitive it hurts. What will the real cave-man do?

Please do yourself a service, click the links below, to see how uncivilized and primitive some parts of Nigeria still is. Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria is the culprit today and it is in a part of the geographical area of Nigeria that used to kill twins, believing they portend bad omen, until the arrival of Mary Slessior who stopped the practice. It is also highly rumoured that some people in Akwa Ibom state from Ugep area, still practises cannibalism.

One wonders what manner of men live in this God-forsaken part of Africa that ostracise her innocent and beautiful children on the unfounded illiterate superstition that they are witches and wizards? In this 21st century world where the rest of the world are going to space, building space stations and mapping the lunar surface, a state in Nigeria called Akwa Ibom State is busy rounding up her future generation, branding them witches and sometimes dismembering them to get rid of a supposed curse. It shall not be well with these cave-dwellers of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

To their Governor Godswill Obot Akpabio, Icheokudotcom says, you and your people are shameless! This documentary has exposed the devilish practices in your state and for you to pretend ignorance thereto, is comparable to Alaska's Sarah Palin faking that she did not know that some turkeys were being massacred right behind her. Just wearing a good tie does not make you a civilized genteel when you left this despicable and abominable inhuman practices of your people to go on, unchallenged. But now that the veil has been lifted off this your evil, the whole world is now focused to see what your actions will be to eradicate or at least abate it.
Until then, let every decent man and woman send some assistance to the God-sent British humanitarian grappling with the so many traumatised children of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria! What a bloody black eye to Nigeria, this is!
This British charity worker, Gary Foxcroft, 29, fighting to help the children stigmatised as witches is the programme director for the UK charity Stepping Stones, Nigeria. Mr Foxcroft first came to Nigeria in 2003 to research the oil industry for his masters degree; but he was so shocked with these children's plight that he decided to help raise money for a refuge for them. He established a Child Rights and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) to cater for these abandoned "witch" children and equally try to persuade their parents to take them back. He has also helped to build a school for the children who are refused places at local schools.
If this link below does not move you, nothing else will and Icheokudotcom salutes the courage of the young British humanitarian who is providing succour to these branded and abandoned so called little "witches" of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
